When I said it ilkely is fine, I was serious. I have vehciles that don’t get driven much that haven’t had an oil change in years or a decade. They’re fine. Also have engines that get low hours per year and I wouldnt think of not changing the oil before layup. And others that I change after every or every other use.
But if you care about the RV and plan on keeping it no sense in procrastinating.

anon125,
Put me in the camp that thinks the mechanicals will be OK. I'd schedule the fluid change maintenance before the next time you take it out, but like Grit Dog said, I doubt there would be any trouble.
To be honest, I'd be more concerned with the "house" systems. The furnace, stove, water heater, water pump, refrigerator. Anything operated with gas has had ample opportunity for little buggies to make their nests in the gas delivery tubes for the burner. Motors might seize up if exposed to condensing moisture that hasn't have the opportunity to be burned off every once in a while. The carburetor on the generator could likely be gummed up with the fuel after all of these years.
I'd be giving these systems a test, as able, to minimize surprises come
Spring.
Oh, and give the inside a good once over looking for leaks. If there's any sign of leakage, be sure to get that taken care of before the winter sets in.
Good Luck,
~Rick

I would be most cocerned about the tires. I strongly believe sitting tires is a major cause of tire problems on class a rigs
