The Bus Log

[GregOConnor]

I tried something like that on a site I built for a rv dealership in Temecula Ca but the use was disappointing. what worked out good was a private database record for customers to keep tract of vin numbers, part numbers, appliance model numbers, and the like. I built a a predefined template fillable PDF where rv-owner-customers could add to the docs the mechanic started. it became a good on the road file place for customers to reference their rv's. Their profile get a bunch of hits while they updated and review the document. Not much of a google traffic driver but a added value customer loyalty thing that the dealership cared to help the owner while on the road. I think the problem with record keeping for maintenance is that it is only a rewarding or fun thing to visit if you are up on the tasks.
I record last oil changes with a Marks-A-Lot on the inside windshield of all my Vehicles. On tractors I write last oil on the filters since i pop the hood every time I start one. It is confusing when Tim drops by a jiffy lube and they display their opinion for the next oil change date and not what the odometer read when they did the last oil change. I prefix my odometer reading with LO for Last Oil Change.
WanderLog is another name but it would be good to include other brands without the given acronym.
