Does anyone have any recommendations for good maintenance books? I am still relatively new to the RV scene, and I want to ensure I am taking proper care of my camper and make sure we have many years of enjoyment ahead.
Also, any recommendations for maintenance items that should be done by professionals or dealers vs first time DIY.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

If you are at all handy with simple tools, you should be able to DIY most things on an RV yourself. Do some web searches for service manuals for the equipment in the RV, such as water heater, refrigerator, furnace, air conditioner, water pump, etc. Here is a link to a list by Bryant RV as a start. Contact your RV's manufacturer and ask what they can supply regarding maintenance.
Search this forum and post questions. Lots of helpful people here.
If you are uncomfortable or feel unsafe doing something yourself, it's time to get paid assistance.

For all kinds of general RV repairs, the best that I have ever found is Bob Livingston's "RV Repair & Maintenance Manual"
