I did an oil change on the RV when the local mechanics all refused. The previous owner had installed a valve on the oil sump pan. One finger operation.
The filter was in a clear space and super easy to remove.
Best $100 I never had to spend.
Having a large drain pan was priceless.

Baby got new shoes today..
The old tires were approaching 5 years and had funky wear patterns due to being out of alignment (fixed that!) and the tread was getting thin on 2 of them..
So with winter coming, and rising prices, I elected to cringe and get spandy new tires.
Daaaaammn they are Nice! Handles much better, and virtually zero road noise!! Love Them!
And being a highly rated brand, with an amazing warranty, spec’d at a tick over recommended, and being ATX, M/S, and 3Mt.. they should serve me well.

For those following along- I did some more stuff this weekend.. revamped my gray tank, and decided on a new solution for my fresh water.. (more to follow)
I resealed the cracked-in-shipment vent cover, and added the rear gutter-rail extension ((hopefully to divert water away from the leaking seal area..)) though it looks like I will need to address the high-mount brake light also.. *shrug*
Added a couple pounds of air to the new tires.. so the placard says 35.. I like to run at 40.. feels much more solid and sure footy. :)
Added a screw mount magnet to the rear side wall.. over the bed- to ‘stick’ my glasses case to so it is always handy, but out of the way.
Oh- and resealed the mild exhaust leak.. this time included a bit of fiberglass fabric..see how that holds up…
Worked on some of the storage.. started organizing my morning coffee box..
Also I have been learning and developing a potential work-from-the-road job option..
Just the usual stuff. :D
Oh- did I mention that I might get to go back to QZ this winter??

How to ‘clamp’ a 3/4” piece of aluminum to the gutter until the adhesive sets….????
Don’t laugh- it worked! Super industrial heavy steel carabiners fit perfectly in the space..
And the vent seal is also visible.. or invisible.. lol
