WOW, Will get some flack on this but Wally World has quite a few newer stors with high doors and pit. They usually treat as 1 ton truck.


On a class C they can do you....on a 35 ft class A...no way partner

My Class A is 38' and Wally World does it all the time. Cost is around $62.00. Gaspar does it every year and does a great job. Mobil 1 5W30.


When I had my 35 foot gas Bounder, I got my oil change, lube and filters done all the time at my local Wally World. I had a diagram of all the chassis lube points which I gave them and they really did a nice job. We have three Wally World within 10 miles of each other and only one with an oversized door that does motorhomes. My local Ford dealer could not do it, it was too large for his bays. If you ask at the automotive desk if they do oil changes or they will tell you which WalMart does.

When I was younger and lived in my own home I would do my own oil changes. The condo now doesn't allow that and the other problem is I can get down fairly easy but I have to get back up.

I have a 35ft Class A which I have been taking to Walmart for years and years not only in my home town but on the road as well. I use Mobil 1 and oil change and lube runs about $55.00. The same as for a large pickup. No complaints---so far

We travel a lot and have to find service where we can along the way. We ask the campground owner/manager, we call Coach-net for a recommendation and appointment, we look for truck service shops and in some places like Yuma the jiffy Lube has a special bay for RV's. Once, years ago we pulled up in front of an old gas station along Route 66 - had the Red Winged Horse above the door and all. Old timer (my age?) came out and said labor would be $10 as it wasn't raining, if the ground was muddy the labor would be $20! He didn't bother with redneck creeper, just used his tough leather jacket to slide under with.

Oh this was all with our gassers, no idea how I will deal with the DP we just got.
