I keep the records for myself. If I were to sell it myself one day rather than trading it those records could possibly help close a sale. But, mainly, I do it for my own peace of mind and to assist with any potential warranty argument. Those records come in handy when I go to perform an annual task and I want a memory refresher. Also in my folder is a PM schedule to remimd me WHEN to perform certain things. In the Navy we had PM manuals for every imaginable thing. Never an excuse to have not done something. A chart/flowsheet tells you when to do, a manual explains how, and a record of what you did.
As far as how detailed the record gets...well if someone wants to see fuel economy trends why not? A sudden or even gradual change might signal a problem otherwise unnoticed. I don't do that simply because of the variables, but I could see it being useful for trip planning. I don't have a comments section like Gritz. But we have a Facebook group we started with RV friends. Records exist to recount and relive. Can't imagine why someone would not want at least a basic record of maintenance, but we all have our different ways don't we?
