Oil change while on the road
We'll be taking an extended trip later this summer and will need to get an oil change on our gasser. I know Jiffy Lubes etc are out due to size and the Walmarts near us don't have bays big enough. Any...

99 44/100 of the neighborhood Ford dealers won't touch an RV. You're either too big to fit thru the door or too heavy for the lift. Many no longer have individual bay doors which makes for a very difficult maneuvering prospect to get an RV into a bay. Commercial truck service center are you best option but always call ahead just to be sure they can do the work and can get you in within your travel schedule.
Mobile mechs are also a good resource but you'll need to check with the campground, if you're in one, and need the work done. Many have a no powertrain work rule. Suspect they are concerned with lubricate spills.
The third unmentioned option is to pull a sample of the engine oil at 3/4 of mileage you normally change the oil and send it out to be analysed for extended usage. Might cost around $50 or so and they will email you the results.
