Listers,

        Getting my Bus to the mechanic takes a lot of effort so while there I'm trying to do any prevention I can.  I plan to drop it off for service later this week.   The Bus is new to me this year.  It is running great.  In addition to the following what prevention steps might people recommend?

New belts 
New fuel filter 
new break hoses 
Break fluid change 
Transmission Fluid change 
Gear box fluid change 
Power Steering Fluid changed 
All fluids changing to synthetic 

Coolant changed last year so leaving it 
Engine gas lines replaced in June before I picked it up 

Thanks to people looking over the bus at summer events I have a few specific  repairs for my bus 
On the list is complete break job with new routers, pads,  and shoes 
Any suggestions for best parts?

Several front end parts are to be replaced 
Coolant system metal pipes in the engine compartment will be cleaned and painted 


Thanks for any maintenance  suggestions.
