We became aware of RV Trip Wizard when Grand Design RV forum (paid site) decided to make a change and make it a free site; instead of refunding us, they gave us access to RV Trip Wizard free for a year.
We were skeptical of another RV related planning website as we had become efficient at using other apps. At first, we were using RV Trip Wizard from an iPad, which is doable, but it takes some time to learn with zooming in and moving the map, then one day, we tried it from a PC, and oh! What a huge difference. It was much easier to learn on a computer because All the tabs and links were visible. Using the mouse and wheel made it so much easier to use; it also made it easier to use on the iPad because you know exactly how it should be reacting to your changes made. From there, we made up many dream RV trips, which gave us the idea to take a long trip using RV Trip Wizard as our planning and routing guide. It was much easier to plan our epic 4000-mile 30-night trip through 7 states 9 National Parks and Monuments along with a host of roadside attractions, museums, and the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, and The routes were accurate. The fuel cost tool was spot on. Even the time to a destination was right (you can add your preferences), and every place we stayed was on their list, including Elks and Moose Lodges, which we did use. The one thing that isn't as prevalent is BLM land and National Forest land, where camping is free. Still, you can add it to the RV Trip Wizard database for others to see and use (Many BLM users won't share their favorite sites for fear of crowds, understandable). We also found a casino RV site for $10 a night with Water/ Electric / Dump. We had no problems with the routing being dangerous or difficult to drive because you get to plug in your height, length, weight, and desirable speed to make routing safe for your specific size RV. The app is easy to use once you play around with it for just a few minutes. You can find camping, fuel, overnight parking like Cracker Barrel, Cabela's, and Walmart's. Things like museums, pharmacy, pet hospitals, shopping, and even dump stations. Yes, RV Trip Wizard has thought of everything. Our conclusion; We highly recommend RV Trip Wizard, and we will be paying full price for the renewal.
