Fluid Analysis

The optional Fluid Analysis is one of our most requested RV services, which includes a laboratory analysis of the RV’s most essential fluids, such as transmission fluid, engine oil, radiator fluid, generator radiator coolant, and generator oil. The service takes three to five days to complete.

Why Do You Need Fluid Analysis?

Your Class A, Class B or Class C RV will have it’s own internal engine and/or Generator. The Travel Trailer or Fifth Wheel will require a Tow Vehicle. The Fifth Wheel may have an internal generator. People are pretty good at remembering when to change the Engine Oil. They tend to overlook or forget the required timeframes to get the Engine coolant, Transmission Fluid, Generator Oil and Generator coolant changed. Have these critical RV systems been maintained? A visual inspection will not answer those questions. The Inspector can collect a sample ( a few ounces ) and send this sample(s) to a laboratory for a detailed analysis and report. For your Peace of Mind, these fluid samples and laboratory analysis may be an important piece of information in your purchase decision.

When you choose a fluid analysis, you can protect your investment by finding out the true condition of your new RV.

We offer Fluid Analysis as a stand alone service that you can purchase with or without an inspection. Below are the prices based on your needs.
