RV travel app

What do you find to be the best RV travel app for finding routes and gas stations that accommodate RV's? There's a bunch out there, wondering what you use and how you like it. Google Maps and Waze are fine for cars but don't give options for RV's and trucks and always want to put me on parkways where I'm not allowed. Your thoughts and experience appreciated...

RV Life Pro

I've gradually stopped using any of the others. From the beginning of my planning until the end of the trip.

I agree. I use RV Life family of apps - RV Trip Wizard for planning and then the RV Life app for GPS navigation (I run it at the same time as Waze which gives me live traffic updating and I can compare the routes to make sure I'm not being taken somewhere bad). I also use the RV Maintenance site that is part of the package to maintain maintenance schedules and what i have done to the RV.

I happen to have it open for my summer 2025 trip. One of my favorite features is being able to enter my driving range and have it calculate my actual possible range on the map based on routes and actual miles and time. It beats the old draw a circle on the map to figure it out.

About a week after we returned from this summer's trip I archived it and immediately created one for next summer. It's so easy to add stops and points of interest as we learn about them.

Thanks for the responses... I've a 8 - 10 day trip coming up, I'll download it and try the free trial prior to the upcoming trip. The free version appears to be useless.

I agree that rv life is the way to go. I map my route and it gives me a good idea of where I will need to stop for fuel. I can then click on street view to see how hard it will be to get in and out.

With the street and satellite view built-in I always know what to expect when I arrive at a destination.
