Just curious what a standard charge for a routine oil change and tire rotation runs on a Class A Motor Home

My Ford dealer has been doing oil changes on Ford chassis motorhomes for $30 in the Quick Lane. This is a truck servicing dealership, I can't guarantee all will do it. The Quick Lane handles the work by having a technician of slight build crawl under it.
Service for a diesel pusher can cost a whole lot more, you might be buying hundreds of dollars worth of service parts and fluids, even before labor costs, but you might not be doing this as often as once a year.
Tire rotation will require a truck lift or multiple jacking operations. I can see this going as high as $100-200 with today's labor rates. This is not a common service, as very few commercial operators rotate tires on heavy vehicles; they tend to replace steer or traction tires as needed rather than trying to evenly wear 6-10 tires for replacement of whole sets.
My local Ford dealership quoted me $50 to change the oil on our Class C. They also asked about the size of the rig to see if they can accommodate. Different dealerships may be able to get bigger rigs in than ours. Others may not be able to even get our 32'er in.
