When you think about keeping your RV road-ready, things like roof sealant, tire pressure, and batteries usually come to mind. But what about the fluids running through your RV’s systems?
In Episode 20 of The Cozy Camper Podcast, Mike sits down with Tom Johnson of JG Lubricant Services to dig into one of the most overlooked areas of RV ownership: fluid sampling and analysis.
Why RV Fluid Testing Matters for RV Owners
Your RV’s engine, transmission, generator, and even cooling system rely on fluids to operate safely and efficiently. Over time, those fluids can break down, become contaminated, or reveal signs of hidden mechanical problems.
Tom explains how fluid analysis works—similar to a blood test for your RV. By taking small samples of oil, coolant, or transmission fluid, labs can detect:
Early signs of engine wear
Coolant contamination
Transmission issues before they become major failures
General health of your RV’s drivetrain and generator
This proactive step can save thousands in unexpected repair costs and give RV owners peace of mind before long trips.
Preventative Maintenance = Worry-Free Camping
One of our favorite mottos at Cozy Camper is “Worry-Free Camping.” Fluid sampling fits right into that philosophy. Instead of waiting for a breakdown on the side of the highway, RVers can stay ahead of problems and enjoy their travels with confidence.
As Mike and Tom discuss, this isn’t just for full-timers or diesel pusher owners—every RV owner can benefit from fluid analysis.
