After installing my U.Gauge in my Sprinter 24 ft 10,000 lb RV, I retraced my usual route to a favourite RV Park. The idea was to see what, if any, changes the U.G would make in my driving style. This route had high winds, mountain hills and flatlands. During this trip, my U.G. only monitored % Engine Load and RPM.
I was astonished just how quickly and how often the %Engine Load would jump to 100%...agh! ..,and not just heading up hills or heading into headwinds... If not for the U.G. I would have driven like I did the last time... I would never have had any idea that I needed to either ease off the 'power'...or drop down a gear....and maybe avoid future engine lights? I also noticed that my fuel mileage improved.
