Most are attached with rv sales sites. I have not heard good things about Camping World. There is a Cummins and Freightliner place near me.

The Freightliner place would be a good choice. If you have a Speedco in your area, they are a great place for Lube, oil and filters. I'm guessing you are new to this coach. You might find a mobile mechanic who would work for you. Here is a fairly complete listing of maintenance points on a diesel motorhome:
