We are all so focused on our everyday vehicles that we forget our big rigs that are in the shop, out in the driveway, etc. Hot Shot’s Secret, however, has not. They are always looking at new avenues to go down, always looking for issues to fix. With that being said, let’s talk RV’s. We use them to go camping, we use them to pull trailers, heck, sometimes they are even used for mobile homes. Hot Shot’s Secret has developed a full line of products that will keep these rigs going for hundreds of thousands of miles.

You may be asking yourself, RV is a wide array of things. How do I know that they have a product right for me? Their latest lineup covers both gas and diesel additives as well as grease for slide-outs. Regardless of quality or size, big engine or small, there is something in here for you. Let’s take a look at each of the products that are now offered.

Premium RV Diesel Additive

Dosage: Should be used at every fill-up. 2-ounces per 25-gallons

USE IN ALL DIESEL ENGINES (including tier 4 compliant) & diesel generators.

If you’re like us, you like to top off the tank frequently and add a splash of fuel additive, too. Knowing how well their EDT (Everyday Diesel Treatment) works in pickup trucks, has me excited for all RV owners out there. Like EDT, this fuel additive is multi-functional. Not only does it stabilize your diesel fuel, but it also increases horsepower and torque output, and boosts fuel economy.

We talked with Kyle Fischer, Brand Manager of Hot Shot’s Secret, and got a few notes from him on their RV lineup. “Recreational vehicles are designed and built with a specific purpose in mind. The additives you use in your RV should be the same way. That is why we engineered the first line of products specifically for RVs. Our RV line of products is fully formulated, high-quality products created to solve specific RV-related problems, improve performance, fuel economy, and reliability,” Fischer said.

“When hitting the open road, you should not have to worry about your RV’s performance and whether you’ll hit mechanical “roadblocks” while traveling. Be confident your RV will perform as promised when using Hot Shot’s Secret RV products.” Kyle Fischer – Hot Shot’s Secret

RV Engine Protector- Cleaner And Lubricant

Dosage: Use 2-oz per 1-quart of engine oil. Use every oil change to maintain a clean and efficient engine.

Like their Stiction Eliminator, the RV Engine Protector mimics Stiction’s characteristics. Specifically engineered for RVs, this oil additive is formulated to improve performance and reliability by safely cleaning the interior engine components of varnish, debris, and everything else these hardworking engines witness.

Mixed with FR3 lubricant, this additive will greatly reduce friction inside the engine which inevitably reduces wear by up to 62-percent. Yes, 62-percent. By applying the Engine Protector to your oil change routine, you’re significantly lengthening the life of your diesel engine. (This will actually work on gas engines as well)

RV Diesel Generator Engine Oil

If you’ve got the engine in the RV taken care of, what about your generator? Some of the generators that are used on RVs are extremely expensive and protecting those are obviously important. For a few dollars extra during your maintenance period, you can keep them running for years to come. Hot Shot’s new oil is developed for engines that see severe temperatures. Its 15W viscosity at low temperatures allows it to replace conventional 5W-40 oils in RV diesel generators.

 Compatible with, but not limited to, Onan QD 3200, Onan QD 6000, Onan QD 8000, Onan QD 10000, Onan QD 12500.

“Our generator oils are a premium, full-synthetic Group III. Generators typically run at higher operating temperatures, are under constant load for extended periods of time, and can be exposed to severe elements,” Fischer explained. “These conditions put a severe strain on generator engine oils and that is why the oil you use must be fully formulated to combat the common issues that plague small engines.”

RV Transmission Protector

Think about it. Most RVs are big and heavy. Not only is the engine taking some abuse getting all of that moving, but the transmission is too. This is why it is important to make sure it is protected and you aren’t stranded on the side of the road. Hot Shot’s Secret’s RV Trans Protector can protect a healthy RV transmission and help restore a decaying one.

This automatic transmission cleaner and enhancer is a unique RV transmission additive that is formulated to combat issues associated with today’s RV transmissions, such as poor or inconsistent shift quality, rough operation, and burning transmission fluid.

It also helps restore and improve shift quality by safely cleaning and removing any varnish/debris from inside the transmission, which also promotes quieter transmission operation. It also greatly reduces operating temperatures inside the transmission by reducing friction, allowing it to stay cleaner, longer and avoid the buildup of further varnish/debris.

RV Antifreeze Pink / Red

Last, but certainly not least, what about antifreeze? Wishing you could top off your RV with quality coolant that will last for basically a lifetime of driving? Now you can. Offering two different blends, Hot Shot’s coolant lineup is formulated for the Cummins and Caterpillar engines. Each blend is a 150,000-mile antifreeze making it maintenance-free.

Providing superior corrosion protection for all cooling system metals, including aluminum steel, cast iron, and brass, this coolant isn’t just for RVs actually. This is also compatible with light trucks, heavy-duty vehicles, and some off-road applications.
