    This was extremely helpful. I bought RVLife just for the RV safe GPS - but I was getting frustrated that it wasn't showing me fuel stops - especially when traveling through large rural areas with no cell service or humans around. You totally changed how I'm going to plan out my routes utilizing this tool I already bought.
    Wish I could buy you a beer and give you a hug. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

    This is nice and thank you, I just join up on RVLife, the one thing that I do and I guess it's okay is I put in my starting point and where I want to end up at and from their after it plan an route for me I go along the plan route and put in all of the campgrounds along my route but I'm still learning.

    Interesting tool, thanks for sharing! Full timer here moving weekly around the country and currently I use a mix of google maps, sheets, campendium, and state websites for parks/national forests. Certainly seems like those using this should be checking the campground at each step to see if there's actually availability there for around those dates. Would stink to plan out a whole year of trips to find out that half or more of the campsites are booked full and you have to choose different ones (although seems this tool is flexible to adjust to that to lessen the pain). Happy travels!

    Great job. Just used it for our trip to West Yellowstone. It would be nice if they could integrate Harvey's Host and Boondockers Welcome locations. I had to run 2 browsers side by side to plan our stays.

    Thank you both for sharing the Rv Trip Wizard. That looks like a good feature to have to help find Rv planning. By planning your trips campgrounds and so on. I do see if it works if you don’t have an Rv and want to use it for vehicles. Thank you again Wil and Jen for doing this video.

      We’re sorry we couldn’t make it! But we will probably be up there at some point to record videos and we’ll try to do a meet up when we come up. Connecticut is beautiful so we would love to make it up there.

    We do use this program. Easy to use and definitely if you need to make changes. Only problem is that we cannot download our trip to our Garmin RV gps. No idea why not.
    Safe travels. We’re going to Margaritaville 4/7-411. Going into RvOne on 4/8 for some minor tweaks.

    Great video. We do the same process with the exception I use the lock after I reserve a campground. That way when I look at my schedule I know which ones I still need to do. I still have to run Harvest Host (for travel days) and Compendium and RV Parky on another tab as they have other options when all the ones on RV Trip Wizard are full.

    The tool is great for planning motorcycle trips (sort of an RV). Great tutorial video. I do wish it supported hotels/motels along with campgrounds as I do not "camp" on motorcycle trips.

    Just stumbled on this video. How I missed it in the past, I'm not sure, because I am subscribed to both you and Matt's videos. But I thought I would let you know that I am subscribed to Passport America and they also have a similar app that my be used. I often use two or three sites and GPS because I find some give different routes. I am usually the navigator and have to watch the road signs for turn offs and etc. I really like to especially have Waze running on my phone so that it helps with real time traffic. I have been watching for and haven't seen you mentioned once that you were going to show how to make your drawers so neat. If you did it, could you show me how to get there from here? thank you so much in advance.

    Very helpful video, thank you. RV Life has great customer service. I haven't signed up yet, but they answered a question I had within 5 minutes. I've been waiting 4 days for a representative of their primary competition app to respond to a problem with the route not showing on the map, desktop version. So I'm going with RV Life.
    Question: The mileage listed, for example 428, 316, 607 and 725, I take it that's the distance between stops. Do you guys drive 607 or 725 miles in one day? That seems like a lot.
    In the Driving Time Estimates fields, your route shows 6 hours average driving per day. The app doesn't flag any stops where the traveling distance is over 330 miles. Obviously someone can look at the route planner and see that, but I'm just curious whether there's any sort of alert about exceeding planned maximum distance.

    So how much were you paid to recommend this crap? This has got to be one of the worst navigation apps ever! I tried it based on yours and other UA-camr recommendations. First it doesn’t find POIs along your route, you have to zoom in and do that manually. It’s mileage notes make absolutely zero sense. Worst of all, when using the app it was just randomly take you off the highway onto a 3 hour back road trip just to go back to the highway again. People save your money, apple and google are better. If you’re concerned about low passes buy a Garmin RV GPS.
