Does anyone know of an Excel program for keeping maintenance records on a Class A? Thanks!

I made my own spreadsheet. Not that difficult.

You can try this fairly simplistic form from Microsoft:

Assuming that you'll want to print all or part of these records at some point, you'd probably be better off downloading the free Libre Office suite and using their database program (instead of a spreadsheet) with its better reporting capabilities.

Microsoft has a template; there are probably others.

I just set up separate documents titled Maintenance car/RV/tractor, whatever. I then have headers for date, mileage, service performed, etc. If you have basic letter writing capabilities you are set. A fancy program is not necessary.

I sincerely hope I don't have enough maintenance to warrant a data base.

I set up my maintenance record and Excel. It works well and very easy to set up. I now have a 11 year record of my maintenance and it helps me remember what have and have not done. I can add all of the need info you wish and it comes in handy.

Here is one I use that sends me a reminder when maintenance is due. Not too difficult to use and there is a help page if I remember correctly. http://www.rvtodo.com/cgi2/mhwhelp?menu=start
