Our Minnie Winnie, on an E450 chassis, costs me around $100 for an oil change and inspection at our local large Ford dealer. Can't complain.

Also, I was very keen on the Sprinter chassis models. That is, until I started really digging in to specs, CCC, etc. As two quite tall people (I'm 6' 5"), I couldn't get past the smaller size of a lot of stuff in the MB models. Due to their significantly lower cargo capacity (lower GVWR than the E450), the whole thing is a bit smaller, so smaller bed, smaller head, etc. The cargo capacity issue along with the cost/distance of service opportunities put me firmly into the Ford camp.
We've been very, very happy with the rig and the Ford chassis.

John, I dispose of my used oils at a local tire store and vehicle repair shop. They heat the building with a furnace that burns used motor oil and will accept all they can get. Finding such a place nearby might be a problem though.

I found a good way to dispose of used oil. A buddy uses my vehicle lift occasionally to change fluids and I give him 15 gallons of oil to dump in our local VFD's bulk oil tank (they service their equipment.) He's a volunteer there, good deal for him and me.Ray said:
