To display low fuel warnings on the New Trip Wizard, you will need to set up fuel information for your RV. This information is used for tracking fuel usage, expenses, and displaying accurate fuel warnings.
To add your RV fuel information:
- Open a trip on RV LIFE Trip Wizard.
- Click on the red “Trip Tools” button on the Trip Drawer.
- Under Trip Settings & Options, select “Trip Settings”.
- On the Trip Settings screen, select the “RV Info” tab.
- Under YOUR RV GARAGE, click on “Add or Edit an RV”.
- This will open the My RV Garage tab on the right side of the screen.
- Click “Edit RV Details” under the RV for which you want to add fuel information.
- Then, click on “RV Details”.
- On the RV Details screen, click on the “Fuel Info” tab.
- Fuel Type will be used to automatically select the fuel type when researching fuel costs. You have four fuel options available- Unleaded Regular, Unleaded Plus, Unleaded Premium, and Diesel.
- Tank Capacity is your vehicle’s total fuel capacity.
- Fuel Economy is your estimated fuel efficiency, calculated in miles per gallon or kilometers per gallon.
- Fuel warnings will be displayed on the trip map as you hit your reserve limit. If multiple is selected, the warning displays from every point onward as though you fill up (to full) at each marker.
- Show Fuel Warning At will trigger the low fuel indicator when the tank reaches the specified number of gallons.
- Propane on Board input will be used during RV routing to avoid any routes that do not allow propane.
- Once you’ve added in your fuel information, click on “Save & Finish” at the bottom of the screen. This will update your RV Garage.
- After the details have been successfully updated, go back to the Trip Settings screen on the Trip Drawer and click on the red “Save & Continue” button.
- This will take you to the Routing & Driving tab. Make any required changes and click on “Save & Continue” again.
- Similarly, make any changes required on the Expenses tab and click “Save & Finish”.
You will then see the Low Fuel Indicator/Fuel Warning icon on the map, reflecting the fuel warning settings you’ve configured.
