Looking for service suggestions
We live in Ontario and plan on RVing in south US from Jan 2020 - April 2020. The DW does not have any desire for me to drive the coach in any type of snow. So like last year we will end up driving south early November and fly back and then fly back early January.
It just so happens we will also need service:
Engine oil & filer
Generator oil & filer
Fuel filter(s)
Transmission filers
Aquahot service
Check brake adjustment
So I am wondering if this crazy idea is even possible. Rather than using a storage facility for 2 months could I combine my storage/service needs by dropping the bus off at a service facility and pick it up in 2 months. (being completely upfront with them of course)
If you think I could pull this off, looking for suggestions on who to call. (they can't have snow on the ground late December)
We have a 2011, diesel pusher, rear radiator, 43'

I've never personally used them but I've heard here on this forum that Alliance Coach in Wildwood, FL in the "Villages" area, is a real good shop. Apparently they are part of Lazy Days.
It might be a good place to start and call them.
I also have in my notes that La Mesa in Daytona or Sanford are also good Florida repair shops.

Will you be traveling in the SE of the US or going coast to coast?
I think you might have a Freightliner chassis - if so, why not have the service/storage done at a REAL service center?
I've had good factory/quality service performed at Lou Bachrodt in West Palm Beach Florida (they have three service centers in that general area), Warner Truck Center in Hurricane Utah, Bakersfield Truck Center Bakersfield California.
If you have Freightliner, you can call them (1 800 FTL-HELP) with the last six digits of your VIN and ask them where they have an OASIS dealer that services Motorhomes.
If you don't have a Freightliner, sorry for the distraction - but, those places are still good in my book.

well nobody ever listens but bus shops are good. they have tour buses school buses ect. and all systems like rv and I use the one local if I need. tere certified for major engines and chassis,, better rates and they have pits unlike the truck shops at the interstate. at least here anyways.

I do have a Freightliner, thank you. Do you happen to know if they service Aquahots? I did contact them but they did not address the Aquahot specifically.
