DALLAS TEXAS AREA

Looking for a facility to perform standard PM on Motorhome
Cooland Flush, brake line Flush, serpentine inspection etc...

have tried Ford Commerical for Motorhome. Per Ford they have a list of Dealers that will work on MH. Unfortunatly the dealers don't agree with Ford. I have been told NO and the 1 that will has been delaying me for 3 months

Any others with F53 or F450 chassis in the Greater DFW area would appreciate any input

Not in DFW area, you have a very common problem with Ford based motorhomes, esp class A’s. I called Ford and like you they gave me a list where upon calling, each was was nice but said NO, they don’t have any bays to work on them. I DID find one that will do simple stuff that can be done through the hood area, inside the mh, tires.

Mostly I take mine to a truck service center, not a Ford dealership.

When we had our previous CLass A's we just took them to a local RV dealer. Oil changes etc, schedule an appt and in and out in the same day.

Keep looking...for a mom and pop place. Ask RV dealers, Camping World, etc. It took me over a year, but I finally found one, that will work on a MH. I had one who said he'd work on it....until he found out he'd have to go inside the MH to do some things...then he was out, insurance issues.

Did you find a place actually? Cause i am just reading about mhsrv https://motor-home-specialist.pissedconsumer.com/review.html and think that that would be the perfect option for your needs. Not sure you have them in your area, probably something worth checking out.
Please let us know if you find someone reliable.

I have my yearly service done at SpeedCo. That said, not all locations service motor homes. No appt necessary, just drive up and get in line. Be sure to call ahead though to make sure they do motorhomes. They all used to but things change...Dennis
