Hey, if you just want an oil change and at a decent price, check your local Walmart. All of those in my area have one large bay with a pit under it and happily accept motorhomes. Normal charge plus maybe a few bucks extra for more oil if necessary. The guy I went to the other day say they change 3 to 4 motorhomes a week. I paid $34. CW wants $65 (Good Sam rate). Also to change generator oil/filters, CW wants $75 (Good Sam rate). Buy your own filters and oil (cost me $33) and do it yourself - it's a snap and very easy to access while just sitting on a stool.

Speaking from experience, if you go to Walmart for an oil change, don't go too far away and keep an eye on the guy doing it. Those guys doing the oil changes often get about 3 or 4 minutes of training and are set loose. Make sure they do things like put the plug back in the oil pan before putting the new oil back in the engine, make sure they don't cross thread the oil filter or torque it down to a hundred pounds of pressure, and make sure they don't climb into the drivers seat with their oil coverage pants and hands and shoes!
