Rig-aware route map
Drop stops on a map and the route is built around your length, height and weight — low bridges, ferries and toll roads get flagged up front, with a cap on how far you drive each day.
The full tour
Everything in Joe's RV Planner, on one page
Built on the road, used on the road. Everything below is live in the app right now — not coming soon, not behind a paywall. It's free, with no ads and no upsell maze.
The PDF opens your browser's print dialog — choose “Save as PDF” as the destination.
Plan the road
Build a route your rig can actually drive
Tell it what you're towing or driving, and every plan respects it — before you're staring at a tunnel you can't enter.
Your rig, saved once
Set your rig once on Your account and every new trip starts pre-filled — type, length, height, weight, propane, and the roads you'd rather skip.
Campground & RV park finder
Search real campground listings near your route — including campgrounds on Recreation.gov — read the essentials, and save the good ones to your plan.
Public land finder
Find BLM land and other federal ground when you'd rather boondock than book a pad.
“Sleep tonight” finder
Rolling in late? One search shows Cracker Barrels, Walmarts, truck stops, rest areas and casinos nearby — with one-tap directions.
Calendar view
See the whole trip on a calendar and drag stops around until the drive days feel right.
Elevation & grade
Know the highest point, total climb and steepest stretch before the engine finds out the hard way.
Offline maps
Save the trip's map and details to your phone so the route, stops and plans are still there when the signal isn't.
Printable trip binder
Print or save one clean trip packet with your rig, route, stops, drive time, confirmations, paid amounts, checklists, weather, budget, story and notes.
Run the trip
One screen for the driving morning
Everything you'd otherwise juggle across five apps — weather, fuel, tanks, money, reservations — lives in one place.
Today on the Road
Tonight's stop, what's next, the weather, what the trip has cost so far, and quick capture for anything worth remembering.
Driving-day timeline
On a drive day it tells you when to pull out, where the fuel and stretch breaks land, and when you'll be parked and set up.
Weather at every stop
Conditions for each night of the trip, so you can shuffle days before the storm does it for you.
Fuel log with real mpg
Track fill-ups and your actual miles per gallon feeds straight into the trip's cost.
Water, propane & dump tracking
Know what's in the tanks and when a dump station or propane fill is due — with finders for both.
Maintenance log
Oil, tires, filters, batteries — with photos and receipts attached, so nothing rides on memory.
Reservations tracker
Confirmation numbers, deposits paid and cancellation deadlines for every stop, with a warning when a deadline gets close.
Budgets
Planned versus actual spending, by category, updated from your real fuel numbers.
Checklists that learn
Packing and departure lists that pick up what you actually used on past trips.
Cell coverage notes
Record the signal at each stop, so next time you know where you can stream and where you can't.
Private stop ratings
A private “would I come back?” rating on every stop — and a nudge when you're planning through a place you've already stayed.
Changes that wait for service
Check off packing tasks and log expenses without a signal; the planner keeps those changes on your phone and sends them when service returns.
Nature on the road
Slow down long enough to notice
The sky, the birds, the seasons and the places worth parking for — woven into the trip instead of living in five other apps.
Night sky on Today
Tonight's moon phase and how much of it is lit, plus the darkest night coming up for stargazing.
Nature passport
On Road log, an ink-style stamp for every park, forest, refuge and BLM land you camp at — with levels from Greenhorn to Ranger, a link to the park guide where one exists, a one-tap “Share my passport,” and a downloadable passport-page picture of your stamps.
Birds, wildlife and plants
A bird life list linked to the Wildfowl library, plus a “Beyond birds” log for wildlife and plants — all pinned on a sightings map. Your yearly recap now has a “Beyond birds” section with top wildlife and plants and your first sighting of the year.
Seasonal and smoky-air chips
Next to each stop's weather: foliage, bloom and migration timing, and a smoky-air warning with drive-day caution when fine-particle levels are high.
Nature journal
A public journal at /nature for trip reports, species spotlights and park write-ups with a cover photo. Start from one of your Field Notes, keep drafts private, and published posts also show on your road page.
RV-friendly parks guide
At /parks: parks and public lands with max rig length, hookups, best season, cell signal and the wildlife to expect — filter by your rig length, see them on a map, read recent public sightings nearby, get directions, and add the park straight into one of your trips as the last stop.
Natural wonders on trip maps
Switch on “Natural wonders” on any trip map to see waterfalls and hot springs within about 9 miles of your route, with directions and a one-tap “Add as stop.”
Hiking trails on trip maps
Switch on “Hiking trails” to see named trails near your route drawn on the map, with length, directions and “Add as stop.” Each trail shows difficulty, elevation gain, high point and best season. “Save hike” keeps it in My hikes with a planned date, notes and a done check — flip “Share” for a public hike page with the trail map. Saved hikes also show trailhead weather for your planned day (a real forecast within two weeks, typical conditions beyond that). Today surfaces trails within about ten miles of tonight's stop, saved hikes print with the trip binder, and the year recap counts your trails hiked. Out walking? “Locate me” drops a you-are-here dot that follows your phone's GPS — nothing is saved or shared. Shared hikes also fill the public Hike library, where anyone can browse by difficulty and length and save a copy to their own list — and any saved hike can be added to a trip as a trailhead stop.
My nature year
One page for the year outside: species logged, parks stamped, the darkest night you camped under, and favorite photos. Turn on a public link to share it — only species, park names and showcase photos show.
Remember the trip
The parts worth keeping
A trip is more than miles. These keep the stories, the photos and the streak alive after you're home.
Trip story journal
Write it as it happens — photos, notes and voice recordings for every entry, kept with the trip.
Road log sticker album
A USA map that fills in as you sleep in new states, peel-off stickers for every stop, milestone badges, and a shareable picture of the year.
End-of-trip report
Miles, nights, fuel, spend and photos, wrapped up with a link you can send to anyone.
Trip-to-Field-Note draft
Turn a finished trip into a private writing draft with its route, stays, trip numbers, highlights and copied photos ready to shape into a story.
Yearly recap keepsake
Your whole year on the road — states, miles, favorite stops, birds of the year — as a one-page keepsake you can print for the fridge.
Trip documents
Reservations, permits, insurance and maps stored with the trip, previewed right on the page.
Private sharing & calendar export
Share the plan with whoever's riding along, and add the itinerary to any calendar app.
Birding
A life list that rides along
Built with the Wildfowl Carving Archive — every bird in their carving library, one tap from the road.
Life list
Log what you spotted, where and when. Your list builds itself across every trip.
The full bird library
All 139 birds from the Wildfowl Carving Archive with photos — browse by family, search by name, and open each bird's archive card.
Sighting map
Pin where you saw each species and get directions back to that spot next season.
Share a sighting
Choose which birds go public — they appear on your open sightings feed, and nothing goes out unless you say so.
Field Notes & speaking
Stories and dates, shared safely
The public side of the planner — where the writing lives and where Joe is speaking next.
Field Notes
Dispatches from the road, published when you're ready. Searchable, with photos, at /field-notes.
Speaking dates
One calendar of upcoming talks, shared as broad regions and date windows — never the campground.
Fuel the road
The green banner at the top shows the live U.S. diesel price. If you'd like, chip in toward diesel and site costs — one time, or $5 a month. Supporters get a small fuel-can badge on their Road log and Year recap.
Your support page
If you've chipped in, /supporter lists every contribution, shows whether monthly support is running, and prints a supporter badge you can keep. Monthly supporters can cancel, update their card, or review receipts any time from there.
Your account
Your account page holds your display name and photo, how you sign in (with a password change if you use one), whether you'd like occasional emails, a text-size control that makes the whole app easier to read, and a plain way to close your account and remove everything you've saved.
Your own public road page
Turn on a page of your own — your route, your next stop and the photos you choose — with a web address you can share. Every photo you mark public also lands in your own photo gallery at /road/…/photos, captions and all. There's also a small card you can paste onto your own website, and a picture card ready to post on social.
Route library
Publish a saved template to the public route library at /templates, or copy another member's route into your own trips in one click. Only the route, stop names and rig type are shown.
Discover road pages
Browse the road pages members have turned on, at /roads — real trips, next stops and chosen photos in one gallery. Yours appears there the moment you flip the switch.
