Changed the oil and filter on my Coachmen Mirada (F-53.) What a chore. First the drain plug was right over the front axle so had to balance the oil catch pan while I pulled the plug and as it was draining and again as I remove the filter. Yep, spilled some here and there but it cleans up.
Head down to you local big box store are get a $5 concrete mixing tub like this one. Solves the spill problem plus makes for easy transmission or power steering oil collection. Plus at 10 gallons will probably hold all the engine coolant for reuse to winterize waste drains and tanks. Mine doubles (after cleaning) as a dog bed, dish washing tub, power cord holder and anything else I throw into the storage bin.
