Radiator

I have a 2005 fleetwood discovery 39S, does my rv have a coolant reservoir or just a radiator? What coolant should I us?

The reservoir in front of my rad is for the power steering. The coolant reservoir is on top of the rad.

Then you will find a white plastic reservoir on top of the radiator above the ps bottle. The cap will be on the left side of the coolant res and is a pressure cap. You will only see a small part of the res as it drops down behind the rad. The cold full mark is about half way down just to the rt of the cap. This tank has a habit of cracking and causing a leak so check often for condition.

Thank you very much, on the road and the low coolant light came on, so I was wondering what coolant should I buy!
