I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'demanding' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'on a trip keep' is the wordplay.
'on a trip' becomes 'high' (I've seen this before).
'keep' becomes 'maintenance' (maintenance is a kind of keep).
'high'+'maintenance'='HIGH-MAINTENANCE'

Can you help me to learn more?
