FULLTIMEWANABE Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Just curious where you typically get your Motorhomes serviced on the road? Hubby has been doing the Oil & Filter Changes on the Engine and the Generator himself, but is feeling with aches and pains now, he'd like to start utilizing an "affordable" franchise as we travel that we could just pull into and get done hopefully as we go down the road. We are Canadian so not aufait with the USA names, think someone mentioned Speedco on a thread I read somewhere but .... Thanks for stating whether it is Diesel or Gas or both can be done at the location and approximate costs. We currently have a gasser but looks like soon be a DP as he's winning me over Happy Travels.

docj Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 The typical oil change interval on a DP is 15,000 miles or one year. We usually have everything serviced in the spring at our local shop and don't anticipate needing service again that year other than for unforeseen repairs. We haven't used Speedco but I know lots of others have. Speedco is now owned by Love's and I've read some unfavorable reviews about what some see as changes since the acquisition. Since I don't have personal knowledge, I'd be curious to hear what others say about this.

Kirk W Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 There are a lot of truckers who use Loves, Pilot, and TA for such services. I have never used the services of any of those but someone seems to do so. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Twotoes Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Check out rvservicereviews.com. I was in Phoenix in Oct and found Massey’s Diesel and they were highly recommended. Got an appointment for a full annual service on the Class A and genny for $850 and even stayed in their parking lot the night before for free. 2015 Itasca Ellipse 42QD 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock Edition 2021 Harley Street Glide Special Fulltimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some won't work on MH's, some won't although most will help with fairly minor things. Occasionally, we've had to search for a local heavy truck repair facility to resolve more complex problems. If you have a DP you can also usually get help at a CAT or Cummins facility of which there are quite a few. And it you have a Freightliner chassis, they have numerous service facilities also.

scouserl41 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 For gas powered rigs Walmart! Some stores have tall bays and will change oil and filters. I still change my own oil and filters plus do the chassis lube. Bigger jobs I first ask the CG if they know somebody. I've seen companies servicing diesel rigs right in the CG.
