    Impressive! You have been busy!

    Perhaps:

    – Aqua Hot burner nozzle

    – Check engine pulley bearings

    – New belts (bet you just forgot to list)

    – Grease chassis (probably already done, too)

    – Replace any Norgren air dryer FILTERS (internal)

    – Replace smoke alarm battery

    – Test carbon monoxide detector & maybe add another

    The only thing I haven’t done out of the three post above is to coat my roof.

    My bus goes a lot faster now because my wallet is so much lighter LOL

    While the Webasto burner is out getting a new nozzle, clean the combustion chamber and the U-channel chamber getting the loose soot out. Clean the flame sensor and check ignition point gap too.

    And I put helper springs on my slide pins for my disc brakes.

    Bravo to you on your effort.
