Winter storage - Oil Change in fall or spring?
About to store my Motorhome for the winter months. Do people recommend changing the oil in the fall before storing or in the spring. (I use synthetic oil if that makes a difference.

Old school logic.
If you live in cold country or the south then in the Fall. Get's all the acid out of the oil and won't run the risk of etching the main rod bearings.
If in the mid section of lots of freeze/thaw then in the spring before startup. Get rid of the moisture that can accumulate over the months that would tear up the main rod bearings.
YMMV
sorry man with todays oils and engine bearings there is no such thing
what moisture? where does it accumulate and how?
Funny, where I'm sitting it sounds like you know just enough to be dangerous. Get a few more miles under your wheels and we'll talk about these great new engines you speak of.
