The growth and change of the RV industry and advances in remote connectivity has helped drive the booming RV industry we see today. With those advances, RVing has increased in complexity. Now anyone can rent or buy an RV and hit the road. Travel for simple enjoyment or as a full-time or part-time RV life. Today’s RVers, especially new ones, often don’t know how to plan an RV trip.
Social media and RV forums like iRV2 are flooded with questions.
- Where do you find campgrounds?
- How do you avoid low overpasses?
- What’s the best way to find an RV safe route?
Often, these can only be answered by asking more questions.
- What kind of campgrounds do you like?
- How about the size and weight of your RV?
- And what is your destination?
RV LIFE helps all RVers. It makes camping simple again with the RV LIFE Pro suite of software tools.
How does RV LIFE Pro help?
RV LIFE Pro provides the necessary resources all RVers need. It makes it easy to find campgrounds, or plan an RV safe route. Then, navigate that route with an RV-safe GPS. RV LIFE Pro also helps you locate important resources. Now it’s easier to fuel locations, rest areas, and big box stores to stock up on groceries and supplies.
Everything about RVing is just easier. RV LIFE Pro is a web-based tool and suite of apps for all major platforms. Your data is stored in the cloud, so your all important information is accessible on any device. RV LIFE Pro tools consist of RV LIFE Trip Wizard, the RV LIFE GPS & Campgrounds app, and RV LIFE Maintenance.
Finding a campground
Today’s RVers face several challenges that those original Tin Can Tourists from yesteryear didn’t. For starters, an RVer needs to find a campground. But campground requirements vary from RVer to RVer. However, all RVers need a safe spot where they can park their RV. They also want access to water, electricity, and a dump station. Those are just the bare essentials. The modern camper also wants WiFi, a pet area, cable TV, and entertainment options. Many people work and homeschool on the road, too. Connectivity and workspaces are considered essential services by many campers.
For nearly two decades, RVers have relied on RV LIFE Campgrounds for that information. RV LIFE has taken the vast amount of data. By blending RV LIFE Campgrounds and integrating them into RV LIFE Pro, users have a cohesive set of tools for easy trip planning and travel.

Want to know about your destination? RV LIFE Trip Wizard also shows you all of the campgrounds and reviews that you would find in RV LIFE Campgrounds.

Got other planned stops? It finds those too.
Safe RV driving
In addition to providing an RV safe route for your trip, RV LIFE Trip Wizard also offers satellite view, street view, and elevation and gradient charts. Review every mile of your trip before departing.
You can also use the satellite and street views to check out campgrounds, rest stops, and fuel stops ahead of time so there are no surprises when you get there. Low clearances are marked on the map for reference, and RV LIFE Trip Wizard automatically routes you around them.
Plan a trip and RV LIFE Trip Wizard’s new Advanced Driving Radius feature helps you plan ahead. Now, you won’t put in too many miles or hours behind the wheel. No more underestimating your arrival time and getting to the campground late, in the dark, and exhausted.

Does this app include Canada? Thanks
RV Life Pro sounds great. Do I use it on my pic, phone, or I pad. Or can I use it on all three?
Can open the trip in the demo. Hard to invest in this if the demo does not work
You can manipulate the trip once the demo tour has ended. Add stop, delete stops, etc.
Will gps and map work if outside cell coverage?
I am trying to upgrade to RV life pro and have active paid accounts for RV trip wizard and RV life. How in the heck do i upgrade so that i can see planned routes in RV life?
Have a question? Can you put the RvLife Pro app on 2 phones with only 1 account? Need 1 for GPS and 1 for other things. Not always the same phone.
I was setting up my RV for the first time.
Sadly my RV was not listed.
