Low-speed steering on this RV causes a loud squeal, presumably a slipping belt. I am trying to find check the level of the power steering fluid. I found this unmarked reservoir in the forward compartment (in front of the engine).

The cap doesn't help much:

I have tried to follow the tube coming out of the bottom of the reservoir, and it looks promising, but I'm not certain (it's difficult to trace). I haven't identified a reservoir for the brakes yet, either, so it could be that.

EDIT: I tried again to trace the line coming out of the reservoir. It goes to something that is turned by the motor (presumably the hydraulic pump). From there a line goes to the brake master cylinder, then the steering gear, then back to the pump. This matches what the chassis owner's manual says:

This cap/dipstick drawing looks very similar to the actual cap/dipstick in the reservoir.

Yes that is the power steering reservoir.

Yes, it is your PS Fluid reservoir. Brake Fluid Reservoirs do not have the dipstick type of cap you have displayed!
