Back when we had 1000-1500 mile valve-adjust, ignition service, lube and oil change intervals, we would service before the trip, then take the tow vehicle in for service while the TT was parked at destination. I remember one time when it was over 100 mile round trip to get dealer service.
It would seem permanent lubes, hydraulic lifters, 5000-7500 mile oil change intervals would make it easier. Maybe it is a mental problem when the destination or halfway point comes up early for the service schedule, but I'm inclined to do it early, when convenient, rather than delay the service substantially past the schedule, since the interval has stretched so much longer than it was 50 years ago, or even 20 years ago.
