  As fuel is the life blood of a recreation vehicle, it is also the life blood of an RV owner's lifestyle. With our rising fuel prices high, RV owners are worried their lifestyles may end. To help keep you traveling, Icon Technologies is pleased to offer this fuel guide to help RV owners improve their mileage. By following the tips in this guide, owners of RV's and 5th wheel trailers can begin to see fuel savings immediately.
  Improving aerodynamics with wind deflectors, proper maintenance, proper driving habits, premium vs regular fuel, tire inflation, slowing down, carrying reduced loads, stay flexible.
  Almost all of the big semi-trucks that you see on our highways have a big ramp that sends the wind over and around their big, block-shaped trailers. Why would the rules of aerodynamics be any different for smaller vehicles pulling things like 5th wheel RV’s, travel trailers, horse trailers, and utility trailers? The area of a 5th wheel trailer that stands above the cab of the truck acts like a brick wall aerodynamically speaking. Not only does air build up in front of the trailer, but the air also collects in the pocket between the trailer and the truck bed creating significant amounts of drag.
  That is why many companies, such as Icon Technologies, have developed wind deflectors. These units are also known as air deflectors, truck wings, wind ramps, etc. Wind deflectors are designed to direct the air flow up and over the top part of the trailer eliminating the air block and the added drag. Wind Deflectors can improve mileage for 5th wheel units and tractor trailers by 3 – 5 mpg. The roof mounted wind deflectors are also perfect for cube vans. Like a semi-trailer, a cube van is designed to maximize storage space. Aerodynamics is a concern for these vehicles too, as seen with those bubbles mounted to the front. However, wind deflectors are more effective than a bubble dome. Even small vehicles pulling small trailers will benefit from a wind deflector. If your trailer is higher than your tow vehicle, it will create wind drag.
  The best wind deflector on the market is the AeroShield Wind Deflector made by Icon Technologies. It is a rooftop mounted unit, which means it doesn’t have the problems that a stake pocket model does, and it doesn’t require drilling. The AeroShield comes completely assembled, ready for quick installation on almost any vehicle using the appropriate installation kit (included in the box). It can be adjusted to virtually any angle, creating maximum aerodynamic efficiency by directing the air over the top and sides of the trailer. It quickly and easily folds flat when not in use. In the flat position, the AeroShield also reduces tailgate drag for pick-ups by deflecting the wind over the truck box. Made of ultra strong, lightweight polymer material and aircraft aluminum, the AeroShield is designed to flow with the lines of your vehicle. You can even paint the AeroShield to match your vehicle.
  Wind deflectors have been proven to increase fuel mileage and improve stability and handling. They also reduce the amount of road debris and bugs on the front of your trailer. Not all wind deflectors are created equal, though. Results may vary with lower quality copycat products out there. Be sure to get a top quality AeroShield Wind Deflector!
  Additionally, using Fender skirts and propane tank covers can streamline your trailer, which will assist in reducing drag. Tonneau covers also have a big impact on drag reduction, because they don't allow air to get trapped in your truck box. This has a direct relation to increasing your fuel mileage. All of these items will assist in reducing the drag of your whole unit.
  Maintenance is important to keep your engine performing on all cylinders. Keeping the vehicle tuned up and in top running condition saves fuel. A poorly tuned engine can lower fuel economy by 10 to 20, so ensure your unit is in tip top shape. Here is a RV maintenance checklist compiled from many RV owners. Use it to double check your vehicle.
  A clean air filter allows more air in to burn the fuel, and clean injectors and carburetors control the flow of fuel into the combustion chamber.
  Be sure your tires are in good shape. Many tire manufacturers now offer a tire specially designed for RV's which improve ride, stability and MPG.
  Be sure your front end is properly aligned to reduce tire wear, and resistance against the forward motion of the RV.
