People often jump into this lifestyle in search of simplicity and freedom. Full-time RVing helped me simplify mine, and I haven’t looked back since. In our early traveling days, using multiple RV trip planners to reach our next destination was a frustrating experience.
After many years of looking for a better way, I finally found it. Here’s why RV LIFE is the only RV trip planning tool I need to to keep our wheels turning.
Your RV Tool Box Only Needs One RV Trip Planner
In the RVing community, we often say that “home” is where you park it. But sometimes finding campgrounds and overnight parking to call home is treacherous and tiring. Not too long ago, RV trip planning meant digging out a heavy campground directory, paper map, and notebook. I’m a big believer in RV trip planning homework, can you tell? But no matter how much I researched in our early days, we still got gobsmacked by awful campgrounds we didn’t know to avoid and occasional low bridges.
Smart phones replaced old-school RV trip planning paperweights in what seems like just a few years ago. I happily de-cluttered our RV life even further by using smart phone apps to plan RV trips. Only problem is that none worked well enough to take up space on my iPhone. Finally, after weeding through the top RV trip planners, the RV LIFE Pro tools found a permanent place on my home screen. Here’s why this RV lifestyle subscription is something I won’t ever be without.
A Command Center for RV Living
In this crazy busy world, who has time to over to multiple apps and websites about RVing? With RV LIFE Pro I only need one log-in to access everything I need to plan RV trips. From the RV GPS real-time travel directions, to maintaining my rig, finding campgrounds and reading RV campground reviews, the RV LIFE Pro system does it all. Here’s why I’m a fan:
RV LIFE Trip Wizard
Here is where my favorite RV trip planner app leaves others in the dust. RV LIFE Trip Wizard is a web-based trip planning tool that lets you drill down to every detail about your route. Input your personal RV dimensions and itinerary. Then tell it where you want to go. Pack your rig, turn the key, and you’re on your way.
- Get turn-by-turn directions to avoid low bridges, weight restrictions, and other dangerous RV routes.
- Pinpoint the best RV campgrounds on your route, and read campground reviews from the RV community.
- Know how long it takes to reach your destination, and where to find fuel along the way.
- Review every trip detail with satellite and street views, elevation and gradient charts.
Getting into the RV LIFE Trip Wizard is as easy as opening any popular web browser like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Your RV LIFE Pro personal profile and trip details are safely stored in the cloud for fast, easy access on the move. You have total control over who sees your past, present, and future itineraries. It even lets you share itineraries with a non-member who may need to reach you during an emergency. All RV LIFE Pro member data stays safely stored for as long as you want it to be there.
RV LIFE Maintenance Keeps Your Rig Running
Every house has maintenance, RVs included. But if you’re like me, you might be having too much fun to remember when to clean your RV roof, or lube your seals. If I don’t write down an RV maintenance schedule, I just won’t do it. Thankfully, the RV LIFE Maintenance feature included in RV LIFE Pro does it for me.
From tracking fuel economy and RV maintenance costs to housing RV warranty contracts, repair receipts and house systems documents, this digital RV To Do List is the command center for keeping my RV and tow vehicle running smoothly.
- Easy to follow dashboard for desktop and mobile
- Keep warranty information at your fingertips
- Set predefined RV maintenance schedules for select equipment, like your generator
- Remember what you’ve done with an online maintenance and fuel log
- Get automatic RV maintenance reminders
- Download user-friendly RV maintenance reports
- Upload documents and photos for RV maintenance record-keeping (comes with 1 GB of space)
- Track up to 3 RVs (RV, Tow Vehicles, Boats, Motorcycles, etc.)
RV LIFE Maintenance provides so many ways to keep my RV in top shape, I don’t have any more excuses to avoid chores like RV roof maintenance or slide-out care.
Find Your RV Tribe with RV LIFE Campgrounds
Spontaneous RV trips are great fun. But what’s even better is knowing what to expect along the way. The RV LIFE GPS & Campgrounds app easily integrates with my go-to source for destination feedback, the RV LIFE Campgrounds website.
My log-in credentials for RV LIFE Trip Wizard allow me to jump into the RV LIFE Campgrounds community on the fly. Without ever leaving the RV LIFE Trip Wizard interface, I can give RV park and resort reviews, share on-site photos, and jot down destination tips for nomads like myself.
RV LIFE Campgrounds is an easy way to build community and make friends on the move. And I feel good knowing I’m helping others have great RV trip experiences by posting in the RV LIFE Campgrounds Forum.
