Ready to plan your next RV route? The new RV LIFE Trip Wizard’s Fixed Date feature allows you to enter and lock in specific dates to create accurate itineraries.
RV LIFE Trip Wizard Responds to Fixed Date Feature Requests
Avid RVers often request the ability to lock in a specific date to create a fixed arrival target. The RV LIFE Trip Wizard team responded.
Now, when adding campgrounds and other stops to a trip, you can lock in specific dates on the calendar. The app then shows you how many nights remain to reach your destination at the appointed time. If the dates for your event change, simply unlock the fixed date and alter the date range. You can even lock multiple fixed dates, or choose not to lock any dates at all.
Now, a family in Chicago looking to spend a few days in Myrtle Beach can know exactly how many nights they need to camp in order to reach their destination on the appointed day. As each new entry is added to their trip the number of Nights Available changes, making their trip planning even easier. They can add stops, subtract stops, or simply stay at certain campgrounds longer to account for each available night.
Before this update, users would have to guess how many nights they had left until they arrived at a specific location or event. They needed to fiddle with dates repeatedly until they all lined up. This doesn’t sound too difficult for the weekend camper. But RVers taking trips for weeks or months at a time were looking for a more convenient method.
RVers love the update. You will too!
RV LIFE Trip Wizard customers greeted the update with enthusiasm. On Facebook, user and RV Life member Janine told us:
“Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the fixed date function! That will help immensely!”
As with any significant update or feature addition, a Speed Training video was created to help educate customers about the new feature. The new Fixed Date feature is explained on the RV LIFE Trip Wizard YouTube channel.
The feature enhancement follows closely on the heels of a recent announcement. This news shared that the RV LIFE GPS & Campground app is now included in the RV LIFE Trip Wizard annual subscription. Users reacted to the cost savings with enthusiasm. The update brings together the two best tools in the RV trip planning genre.
Plan your RV Trips in detail on a computer, laptop, or tablet and you can access and navigate those trips with RV-safe directions on your mobile device. What a game changer for many RVers!
RV LIFE Trip Wizard is now part of RV LIFE Pro
