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.
