How We Use RV Trip Wizard to Plan Stress-Free RV Routes
When we first started RVing, we knew right away that planning routes was going to be one of the biggest challenges. After researching tools and reading reviews from other RVers, we decided RV Life Trip Wizard was a must-have from day one. We’ve used it on every trip since, and it’s completely taken the stress out of planning.
In this post, we’ll share exactly how we use RV Trip Wizard to map routes, find campgrounds, and keep our travel days smooth and worry-free.
Why We Needed RV Trip Wizard
If you’ve ever planned an RV trip, you know the struggle:
Google Maps / Apple Mapes doesn’t consider the height, weight, or length of your rig.
Many roads aren’t RV-friendly — low bridges, sharp turns, weight limits.
Finding campgrounds that actually fit your setup can feel like a full-time job.
We wanted one tool that could handle it all: safe routes, campground options, and travel planning in a way that works for us. RV Life Trip Wizard turned out to be that solution.
Setting Up for Success
One of the best things about RV Life Trip Wizard is how customizable it is.
We entered our RV’s details: height, length, and weight.
We set preferences for driving days: how many hours or miles we want to cover.
The app then calculates routes based on our exact setup.
This step alone gives us peace of mind. No more second-guessing whether the road ahead is safe for our fifth wheel.
How We Plan Our Routes
Here’s our typical planning process:
Start with our destination.
Work backward by adding realistic daily drive limits (no marathon driving for us!).
Use filters to find campgrounds that match our lifestyle:
Big-rig friendly
Full hookups
Thousand Trails membership parks (to save money) (Yes, we are Thousand Trails members! Stay toned for a blog talking about Thousand Trails.)
Lock in dates to keep our trips on schedule.
Add fuel stops and rest breaks along the way.
This keeps everything in one place instead of juggling multiple apps or websites.
Why It’s Stress-Free for Us
RV Life Trip Wizard doesn’t just give us directions — it gives us confidence.
We avoid low bridges, restricted roads, and sketchy detours.
We easily find campgrounds that fit our needs.
Travel days are smoother and way less stressful.
We spend less time arguing about “where to stop” and more time enjoying the adventure. 😉
Tips & Lessons Learned
Set realistic limits. Don’t overestimate how far you can drive in a day.
Save routes offline. Cell service isn’t always reliable.
Pair it with the RV Life app. That way, you get RV-safe turn-by-turn directions on your phone. (Even works with CarPlay and Android Auto!)
Double-check drive times. Trip Wizard is accurate, but traffic and construction can change things.
Final Thoughts
For us, RV Life Trip Wizard is a game-changer. It takes the stress out of planning and gives us the confidence to hit the road knowing we’re on the right path. Whether you’re new to RVing or just tired of juggling multiple tools, this app might be exactly what you need to simplify your travel days.
At the end of the day, the less time we spend worrying about the road, the more time we get to spend exploring, relaxing, and making memories. And that’s exactly what RVing is all about.
