I understand the use of synthetic motor oils, 5k, 10k between changes, great. How long does it take to get to those mileages, I am talking about motor homes. For me, I live in 4 seasons country and I use mine 6 months out of the year. Sure, the oil might hold up, how about the rest of it. How about that coolant, brake hose that is rubbing up against something, battery cable to starter, or anywhere rubbing. Loose hold down bolts, grey, black tanks. Something touching exhaust. How about doing a visual on brake pads, do you wait for brake noise before you look. Sure you might get 20k-30k out of a set of pads, what if a caliper hangs up on a mounting, 5k miles plus rotor. My shop did maintenance on fedex trucks for 12 yrs, I understand the need for preventive maintanence. The least you should do once a year is get under that MH, take 20 min and do a close inspection. Do it now then you wont have to pay me later.
