Going to tackle spark plugs changeout
I have the W24 workhorse chassis on my Itasca. Going through her front to back & taking care of maintenance items after picking her up a few weeks ago. What am I in for on changing the plugs out? Do I take the doghouse off & get to them from the top or get to them from underneath in the wheelwell or ???? I've changed plenty of plugs over the years but not sure what I'm in for next weekend when I tackle this as well as the fuel filter...TIA!!

It's easy to do from underneath, will probably take you less than a half hour total. Remember to gap the new plugs!

Being a 2005 I wouldn't think it had enough miles on it to need new plugs. The suggested interval is 100,000 miles.

I've never trusted 100k mile plugs in anything I've owned, I've changed them around 40k miles or so...coach has 35k so I figure I'll do it along with other maintenance items for my piece of mind since it's new to us...

change spark plug
Change mine from the top. Wire end were hard to remove from spark plug. Plugs were easy to remove from head. Make sure you get the wire on spark plug end good.

I'll probably go get a new set of plug wires as well just in case....

I always take a “Q-Tip” loaded with dielectric grease and coat the inside surface of the plug wire boot, and the metal connector that attaches to the plug. It makes the removal much easier…it probably won’t apply to you but the next guy will appreciate it.
If you have access to compressed air blow out the recess where the plugs sit before you remove them. A little anti-seize on the threads is a good idea too.

I do it from under the coach. I have many and it only takes me about 30 mins to do plugs and wires. R & R Plugs/Wires - Oemy Style
