    It’s crazy I’m watching this from my first Motorhome! I love it already. The build quality is great for the money. I got a 2016 Coachman By Forrest River Encounter 37SA. So much space, my dog loves it.
    My first tip: If you have a front shade buy a Projector! It’s expanded my screen size so much from my tv’s. I love it!

    Great video. Got Trip Wizard a year ago on your recommendation. Used it for a couple of times, sold my trailer and a year later bought a motor home was pleased to see how easy it was to update and how intuitive it is. After I updated, I had trouble logging it on my phone, contacted them directly and got great read pines and follow ups. It turned out I needed to log in on my phone even though it looked like I was easy peazy. My point, at midnight CMT, I got the help I needed within 10 minutes. Wow!

    THANK YOU!!! This has been on my list. The Universe is AWESOME!!! I open UA-cam and there you are on my feed. I can’t thank you enough for the discount code❣️ Still haven’t taken our fist trip. I did not anticipate the expense associated with everything I needed to buy. Nonetheless, I’m grateful and know we will be safe when we get on the road. Stacy, may I ask a favor? I’m currently researching hydraulic pneumatic jacks. We have a small coach (Class C 24’). I have two daughters with special needs. Accordingly, I need to be able to change a tire, if necessary. Any recommendations??? If y’all have uploaded a previous video, please provide link. I haven’t found anything to date. Thanks again for sharing and helping me on this journey!!! Sending y’all love & light!!! 💖 Safe travels, Penny

    Another great video. One other feature that I think is useful is if you enter your RVs mileage and fuel tank capacity it will show you when your fuel level is getting low. Then you can know when to plan a fuel stop on the route.

    Just purchased my first RV (Entegra Vision XL) after about five years of over researching. I am now going back and rewatching all you how-to videos to get ready. We pick up the rig in about two weeks and hope to moving out of our house in about 6-8 weeks. I am retiring form the army (27 years) in January and this is the first step in our new life plan. Trying not to buy everything I see for the RV. Just the necessities right now. And now I see I probably need to spend a few bucks on memberships. Good thing we have been saving for this transition for the past 15 years. Excited to get on the road, but nervous to be moving on. This will be the first time in my life that no one is telling me where I have to go. I guess Trip Wizard will be my new guide.

    RVTW is essential! It has such a depth of planning tools and you've done a great job showing them all with this tutorial. I've been using it for a year but I learned a few good tips from your presentation. Almost bought an RV atlas but the GPS routing app is the way to go! Your vid inspired me to go into my archived trips and add comments about our experience at particular CG's.

    @qaylan9367 2 роки тому

    Truly outstanding job of demonstrating the Trip Planning and general functionality of RVTW. I signed up for RVTW this past February and have been using it to plan out our trips since. Overall, I really like it but the GPS is terrible, the worst I've ever used. You also have to pay close attention to the routing as it will map some weird out of the way routes when quicker safe routes are available. Additionally, when you drag the route as you showed in your demo you need to look closely at where you drop it because the software isn't intuitive enough to snap the route to a major road but will drop it wherever you let off the mouse which causes strange loops or unintended reroutes. Zoom in on the route map and you'll see it. The GPS also gives strange road names when Google Maps will just give the route number like I40. The GPS also struggles with telling the next turn until you get right up on it which most times causes last second scrambling to switch lanes which is the last thing you need when driving an RV. Each trip we make we use the RVTW GPS and Google Maps at the same time to compare the routes and usually stick to Google Maps as the default. I'm going to buy the Garmin RV 890 with hopes we can get the GPS functionality we need for our RV routes.

    @AaronChandler-k6r 5 місяців тому

    We are considering purchasing the app, but are having a few issues that are not addressed in any of the tutorials we have watched. Does the RV Trip Wizard trip pull up while using Apple Car Play? It does not show up as an app we can add to Car Play, so we are curious as to how it will populate on our Apple Car Play screen when we begin our trip.
    Also would like to know how to use the drag option for setting up our own route. The route that shows up when we plug in our destination isn't the entire route we wish to take. Looking for the best way to add our own routes to pre-determined routes.
    Thanks for any assistance!

Instead of building trip one stop at a time, I want to give the Trip Wiz my starting point and my ultimate destination - say, Kansas City to Grand Canyon - and have it provide me the best route for my RV. Then fill in the stops along the way. Does this program offer that?

    Stacy, my wife and I think you are awesome!! Phil too. :) This training was spectacularly helpful. We are coming off of 5 years full time traveling on a motor yacht and now learning the Motorhome world as we're going full time in January. I like RV Trip Wizard but unless I'm doing something wrong, it does not show alternative routes like the Co Pilot app does. Is that a setting and if not, have you used Co-Pilot? Thanks so much for the huge library of UA-cam greatness. God bless!

    Stacy, you're the best. Just got back home from a trip to DC. Did the Million Nurse's March there. Used RVTripWizard for all our planning. One wish list I would have liked on the RV Safe GPS app is elevation as we go. Coming through the Appalachian Mountains all of a sudden there was a huge red warning sign alerting a steep mountain decline grade with speed limit of 10 mph. Handled it OK but I might have chosen a different route.

    Hi Stacy. Thank you for the tutorial. I have been trying to use this for a while. I have little if any complaints about the web version. The mobile app is what I have problems with. I had fuel as a point of interest. The fuel icon on the mobile app is so small that you can barely identify what the icon is. Do you have any tips to help enlarge this icon? I've had to switch to google app to get the fuel info. What I like about google is it tells you the name of the station and gives you the current price.

    Stacey, in the last x months I've been having trouble with the RVTW routing engine. I've been using it for years.. But we're finishing up planning our 121 night 6,800 mile trip.. But with me setup to pull our 43' 5ver it's routing me thru the million dollar Hwy from the northern end all the way south.. Didn't think that was legal/advisable?
    From albequrque to big bend on some roads that says can't pull my rig? And from big bend area it's taking me Lmost to San Antonio and ba I to get to Amistad SP and falcon lake SP!
    I've bought the Garmin 890 as well and it's routing me along the Texas border (saving almost 200 miles).. But loosing faith in routing engine in trip wizard! Any suggestions? I've not found any switches in my profile that are "off kilter" that would do it.. But not feeling the same about their routing engine as being trustworthy.. And I had been bragging on them for years.

    • @todayissomeday
      @todayissomeday  2 роки тому +2

      I would check the settings in your phone and RVT. Make sure you dont have something turned off ie highways, tolls etc. Also double check your RV settings. Other than that sometimes the routing device (not just RVT) will not know if the road is RV safe. It has happened with my Garmin a few times too. I always use our trucker map as back up. Using it saved us hours in GA.

    • @billspratt387
      @billspratt387 2 роки тому +1

      @@todayissomeday, thanks.. I was just disappointed.. My phone, tablets and computers and my rvtw settings appear to be all fine.. It was also routing me from Carlsbad to alpine Texas straight over mountains and switchbacks.. And the rv campground lady in ALpine said don't.. She said go thru Pecos and fort Stockton and then come in on 67.. Said good roads quicker and only 3 miles longer than the mountains and switchbacks rvtw was telling me to take..
      I'm just getting gun shy.. Love their other features but starting a distrust of their routing.

I am wondering about the functionality for using it with a Garmin, exporting the trip to the GPS. Do you use this function? Is there a good tutorial on how to do it? You say to check the Garmin documentation, but I really don’t see anything that would give me really complete directions on how to do it. Worth it in your opinion?

      We don't use it with the Garmin, so I can't really say how that would work.

    Thank you for another great tutorial Stacy. We purchased the app several years ago based on one of your tutorials and recommendation. We love it! We have used it on numerous journeys. That said, I’m always learning something new and this tutorial showed me a few new tricks. Again, thanks.

    Question, but first another great video, you guys are great! I bought the trip wizard just before our trip from Phoenix to Tampa for the super show in January but didn't end up using it. I tried but after watching this video I think I had it backwards. I thought it was like a direction map app where I would put in my starting point and my end destination. The app would route me the shortest way initiating any filters I put in the app then I would look at campgrounds along the way verses to me backwards as you showed it. You look at the map to see how you will drive (roads in places you may have never been) picking your route then filling in campgrounds. I hope that made sense. Is there a mode change to have it pick your route from A to B then fill in campgrounds, sites of interest, Walmart etc in between? Thank you for your time!

      Rick, you can do it that way. Let's say you want to take a trip from Tampa to Chicago. Start at Tampa and add the Chicago stop. It will figure out the route but is obviously too long for a single day. So, click on the Tampa stop so the rings are centered around it. Then look where the rings intersect your route. I set my rings at 150 (3hrs), 200 (4 hrs) and 250 (5 hrs) and look around the 200 mile ring. Use the campground and PoI features to look for campgrounds or stops in that area. Add your stop and repeat until you reach your destination. It isn't automatic because it can't know how far you want to drive or what type of stops you like. But, the tool is there to help you build a trip. If you are a Harvest Host or Boondockers Welcome member this also gives you a target area to go to their website and look for locations.

      Rick, if you know where in Chicago you want to end up, a place or an address, just type it in the search bar, it will zoom i to that location and you can add it as a custom stop just like Stacy did with the Harvest Host location.

      Like David said you can do it that way. Put in the first stop and then lock your last stop at the end date. It will route you and you can find campgrounds along the way.

    I have planned a trip with Wizard or shall I say over planned it. It has every night reserved out for 6 weeks. I just can not free wheel and hope to get a spot. It is very expensive as I have not planned any boondocking at all. I think I need an intervention to help me with less planning and more boondocking. Next trip I will try another approach (I just joined boondockers welcome) We will see.

    You may have answered this in your video but I perhaps missed it. I just signed up for the 7 day free trial to plan our trip from Andalusia AL to South Dakota. Am I not supposed to put in our destination (South Dakota) at the beginning? The trip radius that is on the map has the destination instead of our starting point so I can't determine the area to find a campground to stop at the 1st night. What am I doing wrong?

    • @todayissomeday
      @todayissomeday  Рік тому

      The first location should be your starting point. You can move the rings (or turn them off). Once you add your starting point click it and the rings will be at that location. Once you have a few locations in the planner you can move the rings by clicking any of the locations listed.

      If they filter based on specific memberships RVT has already checked for them. But I would always double check when making reservations.
