Is there a device like the ScanGauge for older RV?

Is there a device like the ScanGauge available for my 1982 RV?

I'm in a job that keeps me in LA for months at a time so I got an RV instead of paying nearly $1000 a month in rent for a tiny studio apartment. And I'm giving up my car and its costs in favor of the RV.

I'm certain some people might ask how the heck am I going to save money with a gas guzzlng RV. Well here's the logic. I'll park within walking distance of a film location. That means I don't use gas to go the forty mile (sometimes 100 mile) round trip of my old commute. I'll be able to get to the location the night before and sleep there. This way I avoid driving in gas guzzling mourning rush hour traffic and I avoid driving in the gas guzzling heat of afternoon rush hour traffic. And the money I'm saving in rent more than makes up for the small amount of driving I'll be doing.

I just got the RV today and already I'm trying to think of ways to improve it's fuel efficiency. The first thing I can think of is driving technique and that's where a ScanGauge would come in.

Any advice would be appreciated.
