dextersp1 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I've been part time RVing for 10 year and will go full timing soon. I'm looking at joining Escappes. I was wondering if the Escappes owned parks have areas where I can do maintenance on my Ram 2500. I thinking about changing the engine oil, transmission fluid and and other fluids. Thanks.

WeBeFulltimers Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Rainbow Plantation in Alabama has a place to service your vehicle however it is not totally enclosed and you must work lying on your back. This space also has a good air compressor. Fulltiming since September 1, 2010 2012 Ford F-350 PSD SRW Lariat Crew Cab 2012 Montana 3585SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Keep in mind that the Escapee co-op parks are owned by the members of that park and not by the Escapee organization and so they each have their own rules and unique features. I happen to know that some of them do have such an area, but am not sure about them all. I'll do some checking to see if I can get an "official" response to your question.

2gypsies Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I believe the Chimacum and Pahrump co-op parks have a place for servicing. The best would be to call and check before arriving.

bobsallyh Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Several that we have been in and it has been awhile so info may not be accurate. Jojoba Hills - Full blown shop. Pahrump - Area built with a pit for working underneath, open air. Chimincum - Was open to co-op members only Hondo - No facilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dextersp1 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Thank you for the replies. I will be joining - a maintenance area is a nice benefit to have. I try to do as much maintenance as I can because of the complexity of modern vehicles and average repair shops can really screw up a vehicle today. For example, my cooling system requires OAT fluid, if HOAT is put in the coolant can gel or break down into particles. Even the oil recommended is very specific.
