Overview
TripTek is a trip and coach management computer designed for motorhomes. By receiving data
from multiple sources, i.e. electronic engine computer, compass and temperature sensors
(optional), and other sources, the system collects, analyzes, and saves data in memory and then
displays information on the rear vision monitor.
Description
TripTek is comprised of multiple parts: a keypad, computer (behind dash), compass and
temperature sensors (optional), and utilization of the rear vision monitor for display.
Display
When the ignition is turned on, a pre-trip CHECK LIST is displayed to guide the operator
through a list of items to verify readiness of coach for travel.
To make efficient use of the data collected, and to best serve an actual vehicle trip, the system
offers the operator four separate screens: TODAY, LEG, TRIP, and COACH DATA.
The TODAY screen is designed to give you daily information. It provides miles to scheduled
destination, time to destination, miles traveled, time traveled, average MPG and average MPH.
As an option, it will also give you both inside and outside coach temperature and compass
heading.
The LEG screen is designed to give you information from fill to fill or for a trip. It provides
average MPH, time traveled, miles traveled, gallons used (by engine), average MPG, and road
speed.
The TRIP screen is designed for long term data tracking for a complete trip or longer. It provides
average MPH, hours traveled, miles traveled, gallons used (by engine), average MPG and current
MPG.
The COACH DATA screen is designed to give you both coach and engine/transmission
performance and operational data. It provides gears select & monitor, turbo boost, engine
temperature, transmission temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature and average MPG.
On a second level of screens there will be MAINTENANCE, COMPASS ZONE ADJUSTMENT,
CUSTOMER SERVICE, MAINTENANCE SETUP, COMPASS CALIBRATION.
The MAINTENANCE screen displays when to change ENGINE OIL, ENG. FUEL FILTER,
TRANSMISSION OIL, GENERATOR OIL and GEN. FUEL FILTER.
The COMPASS ZONE ADJUSTMENT screen is used to maintain compass accuracy by state. To
achieve maximum accuracy, it is recommended to change the zone setting when traveling from
state to state.
The CUSTOMER SERVICE screen is to give the operator easy access to the phone numbers and
web page of the coach manufacturer.
