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...

For trips shorter than 10k miles I just change before the trip. The longest trip I made was to Alaska and had to change the oil twice. Once was in a state park and asked if it was OK and my friend who has a DP and I just changed it there, very easy and quick on a class A gas much longer on his, but he is a full-timer and had a mechanics suit and set up to do it on the road. The second time was at boondock site just dropped the used oil of at a Walmart when are wive's shopped for food.
That is EXACTLY what we do. On the road, empty one of our Rubbermade storage containers, line it with two HD trash bags (so two layers of protection) and drain the diesel. Use an old coffee can to pour it into the jugs after filling the crankcase. Put the gallon jugs back in the case and take to Walmart.
