From simple maintenance to driving habits, these tips for improving your RV’s fuel economy will save money on your next adventure!
Check Your Tire Pressure
Properly inflated tires can save you up to 3% in fuel economy, not to mention keep you safer on the road.
Keep Your Air Filter Clean
Did you know that a clean air filter in your RV or tow vehicle can improve fuel economy by up to 10%? Air flow directly affects your engine’s efficiency.
Your Speed Matters

Cruise Along
RVs use the most energy when accelerating, so save on fuel by using cruise control on the highway to maintain a constant speed. When not on cruise, be sure to accelerate and brake gently and gradually.
Travel Light
Fuel economy decreases as you add weight to your RV, so travel light by packing only the essentials.
Keep up with Regular Maintenance
Performing regular maintenance on your motorhome or tow vehicle ensures your engine will be performing at its peak efficiency.
