- One thing we were concerned about before we started living in our RV and traveling full time was finding locations to camp. We just plan ahead, and this is how we do that!

UPDATE (November 2019): We still LOVE our Rand McNally GPS, but TechnoRV has switched to Garmin. See this article (changinglanesrv.com/techno-rv...) for more details.
UPDATE (August 2020): We decided to try out the Garmin so we could see if it's something we can recommend. We've used it for a couple of travel days now and really like it! Nothing really different in the actual routing, but the user interface is a bit more intuitive to use. So far, we really like it! changinglanesrv.com/garmin
We'd heard lots of warnings about never getting into national parks, state parks, etc. Well, we were in over 45 locations last year all over the East coast of the U.S. and about 15 so far this year out west. We've never had an issue finding a site, and we've stayed in Campgrounds, RV Parks, State Parks, USACE (US Army Core of Engineers) Sites, etc. Yes, National parks are much more size restricted, but there are plenty of big rig friendly parks outside the national parks! We just plan ahead, and this is how we do that!

########### UPDATE ####################
As this video was in editing, we got the following update from RV Trip Wizard:
We have two significant product releases/tie-ins coming out. Within a few weeks we’ll be releasing an update to Trip Wizard that includes true RV-safe routing, taking into consideration not just height, but length, width, propane (or not), tunnels, bridges, etc. It will also allow custom settings on a per trip basis, so if you want to plan a trip without the RV, or with a different RV you can, without messing up your global settings. The other big release is our RV Life App 2.0. It’s actually out now for IOS, but it’s been a soft release. RV Trip Wizard customers will be able to get this app for $10 and will allow them to access the trips they have created in RVTW, as well as turn-by-turn GPS, access to all of the campground data, articles, and even offline maps for any or all states they wish for full access when no internet signal is available.
We had a chance to play around a bit with the RV Life App, and it looks very promising!

"Let's start out with only 5 stars...'cause why not". Classic. My thoughts exactly.
Love your guys' videos. They are the first reference that I use when I have ANY questions about our RVing.
Again, well done! You two do not miss a detail. Thanks again.
Whoa,,, such a detailed information on road trips n finding camp-ground,,, thanks so much sor sharing,,, Safe, happy & blessed travel on your all journey,,,
You’re more than welcome. Glad you got to those places. You’ll never run out of things to see in those parks. Love your show.
Thank you so much! This was fantastic! I am a planner! If we are ever able to get on the road like we want to, this information will be so important to me! Can't thank you enough!

You two are amazingly thorough! I know everyone that watches your videos is better for it! Thank you for spending this time preparing us while doing your own thing! Safe travels! Ps I geek out every time I see your videos😎
Thank-you for sharing this. My wife and I are planning our first long distance trip and the tools and tips you showed are going to save us a world of hurt. :)
Nothing wrong with planning. You two do a great job explaining everything. We will look into your suggestions. Take care and be safe.
This is an awesome episode. We are going to be following the information presented here when we go full-time next spring.
Thank you for posting about this! I've started using the google maps and layering to collaborate & plan our RV trips!
As always, pretty people (the two of you) doing pretty work. Thanks, and please keep it up.
WOW! Fantastic tutorial! You guys ROCK! I definitely see how beneficial these tools are in planning your trips and stays with your large Rig. But just as useful for anyone planning trips. Great job! Our modern technology these days is so Amazing! Thank you, many happy trails! Love watching all your videos, you do a great job of editing!
Thanks guys! Great video. I was already planing to get a RandMcNally Overdryve 7 RV, but now I'm sold! LOL. TechnoRV sounds like a great resource. I wasn't very familiar with the RV Trip wizard, but thanks to you I am now. Will be checking that out next. You two make very helpful videos.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to create this.
This is a great video for people like me that are looking to get started in full time RVing. Great job guys. I just learned a ton of stuff I didn't know that you can do. Thanks Changing Lanes!❤
Love the video......I worked with a full blooded German gentleman......and with a thick German accent he would say "Marcus, preparation is the key to life".....and you just proved it...thanks..m
Well before I found your channel I decided to buy the exact rig you have, in fact, this is how I found your channel to begin with. I thank you for your channel because I now have a starting point based on all the mods you have done as well as your planning process.
Wow! That RV planner is GOLD!
Awesome content! Absolutely applicable and fully of lessons learned. Thank You!

Thank you very much!!
So glad we can help! 😊
WOW, Talk about great information!
THANK YOU!
Great Video
Great video!! I picked up a number of tips and pointers. Will continue to watch, to see what I missed , forgot or did not think I would need. Planning is everything
Awesome info! I understand it takes longer to explain than to actually do, especially for seasoned RV’ers like you two! Thanks so much for your willingness to share info! #safetravels
Great video with a ton of useful info. Tara, pink is definitely your color!
Excellent, looking forward to following your formula!
Great information! Thank you for your hard work. You guys make it look easy.
Awesome tips, I just love that app you were showing us. Thanks! You are amazing!
You guys are the most well organized people I've ever seen, thanks for sharing those helpful tips I'm sure that they will come in handy for our next trip. Take care and God bless you 👍🏼❤

I'm old but I'm retired .
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences.... as my wife & l are getting ready to retire to the RV life. You are helping us in ways that you can't imagine.
Superb video. I had subscribed to RV Trip Wizard, watched all their videos but still learned more from this one. Thanks.
Great video and one every RV traveler should watch. I have been planning our trips on spreadsheets for years using our Passport America guide and AAA trip planner and it has saved us a good deal of money. Keep up the good work!
Always fun & very informative!
You guys do such a great job explaining. I appreciate. I found some nuggets. Thanks
Good video, detailed and great info. Last, you guys are funny. Be safe and happy travels.
Solid information as truck driver over 15 years planning is always key never can over plan . Wish I could have planned out like you but was day by day but learned going thru same areas. Two thumbs up on video solid information
Love your system for planning trips. I too like to plan. Thanks for sharing.
This will be a video I will have to revisit to dissect and take notes! Incredible info, so helpful. I am also a planner also, so this video is incredibly helpful. I really appreciate the work you put into your videos! THANK YOU!!! 😊
Thank you for sharing. Very helpful guidance.
My wife and I enjoy all your videos.
Stay healthy, Safe travels.
Another great video!! This has a lot of great info!
Just bought our Garmin RV895! Excited!
Thanks for the great info! We totally need to start using these things in this way! We had no idea some of these tools exisited within what we use.
Thanks so much for your quick response, I will definitely make sure to check the route against another reliable source. Peace and love
Thanks for sharing this,it’s going to let me be less stressed on road trips.
Thank you for sharing! You both plan like my hubby and I do. Only you have better toys to work with. We will for sure get one of these to plan our next vacation!
This is the best video! Thank you so much for sharing all of this great info!
This video has more information than any I have seen in a long time. We are planning our fall trip now and this was very helpful. Great video!
So glad to hear you liked it! Safe travels!! 😊
Another great informative video from Changing Lanes! For the full time RV'er this is a "must see",but well worth an investment of your time to watch for any RV owner. Good information.
This is an exceptional video! Thank You for all the great information!
What a wonderful informative video! Thanks so much for all the tips and App suggestions. Like you, we are BIG planners as well. Google street/satellite view is our best travel friend for sure. We always map out our route and plan weeks in advance too. I've heard of co-pilot and have been wanting to give it a try. Mainly for rest stops and low clearance bridges. We'll also sometimes use Allstays, but after watching your video, I'm now very intrigued with the RVtrip planner website. It looks so much more user friendly and I like the very clean UI and interface.
When we bought our Grand Design, comfort was the main motivator for us too. I (Jason) personally don't like backing into sites, so we always (plan in advance), and go to places that have pull-through sites. Staying inside a National Park is not a big deal for us either just as long as we can still go in the truck and enjoy the landscapes.
Thanks for sharing guys! Another lovely video! Thanks for all you do. Safe Travels and happy Glamping!
Peace & Love!
Have a Glamtastic Day!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡
Thank you for this video. I dont like to plan ahead, but the GPS overview was great.
You guys are so awesome .
Excellent info as always THANK YOU
I still plan my trips the old fashioned way with a map and highlighter. I'm old school...I do use the internet for places to stay. But I'll wing it if I need to...my camper can park anywhere.
Excellent planning information, thank you!
Yes, I'm a planner! Thanks for some great information. Safe travels.
Thanks for watching, Rodney! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
Perfection. I'm pretty anal about being as prepared as is practical. RV Trip Planning...that's a game changer! Trip planning will be my job, and this video is crazy helpful! ❤️
As always, great work.
We plan many months in advance so glad we arent the only ones!
Great video, I have a large 5th wheel too and planning is very important. I will look into purchasing this GPS. I have been shopping for a while. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work and safe travels.
Great video. Love the info! You guys are helping me get closer to living a dream. Can’t wait to get to put this good insight to use
This was one of the most informative, and helpful, videos we've seen. Thank you Chad & Tara for all the effort you put into this one! All good stuff, and I never got a single whiff of horse poop.
There was enough 💩two videos ago... 😊
@@ChangingLanes LOL!!!
We really like the RV Trip Wizard. Will be getting it through your link tomorrow. It is going to making planning so much easier. Thanks for the advice.
It's a really great tool, Juan! And the new companion app "RV Life App 2.0" is looking pretty cool too! Thanks for watching! 😃
Thank you 😊 you two are amazing to follow. We are new to Rving with a 40’ Fifthwheel toyhauler and have planned our mi winter to beautiful sunny Fl. I have planned three and 1/2 months but it took ALOT of internet/phone and planning to get into the different Rv parks. I will definitely be investing in one of these gps . Thx again for letting us follow you through your travels of so much knowledge!😊Happy Glamping😎
Another great and informative video, my better half and I watched and will be using many of these planning tools in the future. Thx!!!
First off my wife would like to say to Tara that you have pretty hair. Thanks for your informative videos Chad. We are in a 40ft and had previously stressed about the Glamping sites. Now I will look into this.
Great video guys....well done!!! I’m a total planner. Safe Travels
Great stuff!! As a “planner” myself, it’s always interesting and valuable to see how others do it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching, Peter! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
Awesome video...thank you for taking the time.
AWESOME information !!! Thank you!!!
Thanks for sharing! And, we do appreciate your planning strategy and intend to use somewhat of a modified version for our RV trips.
Great video. So much great information, I couldn't write them down fast enough. Thank you for all your great videos. I really love your bike rides, brings back wonderful memories. Can't wait for your next video.
Thanks! 😃 If you missed anything, all of the details with links are in the full blog post here: changinglanesrv.com/rv-trip-planning-and-gps/
😊
such an incredibly helpful video!! we are prepping to go full time and this absolutely helps with the super planners that we like to be! with 4 kids, we need to have things pretty well laid out. thank you SO much for taking the time to put this together!
Thanks for watching, Amy! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
Packed with valuable information. Thank you!
We loved this video because we are planners too! Rv Trip Wazard was a new discovery & totally worth the $39 annually.
Lou💚
Definitely worth it! They could easily charge $49. 🤫
Wonderful video! You guys rock!!!
I've always used the rand 740 for both RV towing and my cdl work, thanks for the rv trip wizard info I just signed up for it. it's at times trying to find a spot for a oversized rv and parking for my tow rig. Thanks again for the info..
I bought my TST TPMS from TechnoRV and it works great. I’ve got the cap monitors on my truck and trailer so when I’m not towing the trailer I know how my truck tires are doing. As soon as it’s in range of my trailer it picks those tires right up. TechnoRV’s instructional videos are amazing. This 59 year old single gal programmed and installed it myself!!
Awesome! Glad it's working well for you! 👍🏼
This video was awesome! Appreciate your honesty in all your reviews. I'm a planner too so this is great! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Dean! 😊
Loved this video, purchased the GPS and the Rv Trip wizard subscription thru your links. Thanks again, Brian
Brian Whitlock Thanks Brian! We hope you find them as helpful as we do! 😃
What an Awesome video. Getting a home on wheels and being absorbed by it, can make you forget little things. If you don't have a place to park. It'll be a short vacation.
Very well done tutorial. Like that gps a lot. We are still just week here week there campers, but that would be very helpful even for that. Thanks
I really enjoy all the info you share
Thank you for showing RV Trip wizard as a subscriber - the options and views give a lot better explanation of that it will do and show versus the "free trial" version. We are starting to plan a southern trip next year, and this gives me a lot better concept of what the program will do and how it does it.
I was thinking wonder if you folks had a way to plan parking such a huge rig. Just today was asking that question and bam! Ok I stole your thunder! Huge thanks for this video and the info on it. It was exactly what I needed answered! Thank you guys and stay safe.
Great strategy you guys, you mentioned some apps I’ve never heard of, thanks, Wayne from Windsor Ontario
Man, awesome video and tips... We have a 38F Motorhome, so yeah, no internal Parks for us either... happy travels,
wow!!! That thing is awesome!!! Thanks Sailor!!
👍🏽⚓️
Great video. Tfs. Safe travels. 😊
I do enjoy you kids. I shared your channel with my brother, a USN retired E7 that is a full time RV’er and he watches you as well. They are currently in Medford OR.
Thanks for sharing! 😀
OMG! We learned a valuable lesson on using trip wizard. We tried to plan our trip and we thought it would be easy to plan EVERY stop. We learned that we need to plan on what we want to see and where we want to spend the night not every rest stop of filling up with gas. Of course we stop every 2 hours. Our trip is going to be about 3,500 miles totally.
Really great info thanks for sharing ...very helpful
Awesome! Excellent information thanks so much. Getting ready for the fulltime life in 4 years. (4 years work). Working on selling our TT moving up to a 5th wheel. Wanted stay 30 to 35 feet cause of size and parks and national parks. I am thinking 40 feet will work just fine. Thanks for the awesome videos.
Lots of very good information. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Rand McNally has come a long way in the past few years. The trucking company I drive for has the older TND760 commercial use navigation, messaging, and logging units. I’m liking the updated graphics of yours. The older McNallys looked like an elementary school class drew and colored the maps. Looking into retiring with a class A or larger C (30-35ft) in about 4-6 years. I’m loving the information you and a few others are putting out there to help getting my ducks in a row. Safe travels to you always. 👍🏼🗺
Thanks for watching, Matthew! 😊
You are the bomb! Timely advice on the GPS - we have been using a Garmin 660 - just received the 760 and it is DOA. We will look into the Rand unit for sure! Keep the outtakes - they show us that you are REAL people! :)
Thanks! 😊 It's been really great so far! Hope you like it!
This is super helpful! Thanks!!
Great video, thank you. I've skipped the experimentation and accepted your expertise. RV Wizzard and Google Maps are the way to go. Safe travels
Thanks for watching, William! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
Great video guys. We are going to have to get that GPS. Very good job explaining everything. Safe travels
Back at ya! 😊
