Fluid Analysis (Motorized RVs & Tow Vehicles)

Fluid analysis is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools available for Class A/B/C motorhomes and tow vehicles. Instead of guessing what's happening inside your engine or transmission, fluid testing reveals real-time internal wear, contamination, and potential failures before they become major repairs.

With MilTech RV, RVTAA Certified Technician comes to wherever the RV is located—home, storage lot, or dealership—and performs a detailed, system-by-system inspection. You get a clear digital report you can share with potential buyers.

Perfect For:

  • Buyers of used Class A, B, or C motorhomes

  • Diesel pushers

  • High-mileage gas motorhomes

  • Tow vehicles pulling 5th wheels or heavy travel trailers

  • Anyone wanting a “health snapshot” of their drivetrain

Why Fluid Analysis Matters

  • Predicts failures early before costly repairs

  • Verifies maintenance quality (especially for used RVs)

  • Confirms engine/transmission health during pre-purchase inspections

  • Improves longevity of high-value components

  • Essential for diesel pushers and tow vehicles hauling heavy loads

  • Great for warranty claims and maintenance documentation

Most serious RVers perform fluid analysis every 12 months or every 10,000 miles.
