RV Trip Wizard and RV Life Pro
We’ve been part-time RVing for years in a few different RV’s, and now in our 35-foot, 13-foot-6-inch fifth wheel. I know that is not as big as some of you are pulling, but the height can be a challenge. Nothing has transformed how we plan and drive like RV LIFE Pro’s Trip Wizard and RV Safe GPS. Whether we’re charting a cross-country route or navigating twisty mountain passes, these tools give us peace of mind that our rig’s size and weight are always accounted for.
Why Use an RV Trip Planner App?
Before discovering Trip Wizard, we spent countless hours juggling spreadsheets, campground websites, and Google Maps only to realize at the last minute that our planned stops weren’t RV-friendly. An RV trip planner app centralizes everything in one place: campgrounds, gas stops, mileage estimates, cost projections, and safe routing based on your rig’s specifications. That means no more surprises about low bridges, tight turns, or unsanctioned RV parks—and more time enjoying the journey.
When it comes to choosing the perfect campsite, the “Campground Reviews” section is our go-to resource. We sift through the user-submitted ratings and photos to highlight the best aspects of each park—everything from site layouts and hookups to restroom cleanliness and nearby attractions. We also look for campgrounds we have memberships to (Coast to Coast and Good Sam) in order to save some money.
Because we’ve stayed in many of these spots ourselves, you’ll also find our personal tips on which loops offer the quietest nights, where to snag the best sunset views, and how to score a premium site near the water. Whether you’re towing a 35-foot fifth wheel or camping in a compact trailer, these honest, firsthand reviews help you pick the right campground for your needs and avoid any unwelcome surprises once you arrive.
Easy Trip Planning With RV Trip Wizard
With the RV Trip Wizard dashboard, we can plot multi-day itineraries in minutes. Simply drop pins on our must-see destinations, then refine driving segments by adjusting daily mileage or hours behind the wheel. The built-in campground database includes user-submitted reviews and membership rates (Good Sam, Escapees, Passport America, RPI and dozens more), so our budget stays on track. As we tweak our route—adding or removing stops, changing our length of stay, etc —gas and campground cost estimates update in real time, helping us gauge our travel expenses before we even leave.
Campground Reviews in RV Trip Wizard

It is a great resource to determine where to stay.

Planning Safe RV Routes with RV Safe GPS
Once our route is set, the RV Safe GPS app takes over with turn-by-turn directions tailored to our fifth wheel’s height, weight, and length. The voice-guided navigation warns us about steep grades, low-clearance bridges, propane-restricted tunnels, and weight-limit zones. However, those are also in the planning, so I try to avoid those.
Although our planner gives us the routes taking into account our rig specs, the GPS is great when we need to make any type of detour. Even when cell service drops out, offline maps and downloaded routing data keep us on track. We’ve navigated mountain passes in California to the backroads of Arkansas without a single reroute or scary episode.
RV Trip Wizard Planner App Features
Beyond basic routing and cost estimates, Trip Wizard offers:
- Driving Radius Tool: Visual “rings” or actual road-distance overlays show how far you can travel in a set time frame, helping us discover hidden gems within a day’s drive. You set your limits and it helps you determine your days drive.
- Map Layers: Filter by campgrounds, points of interest, low clearances, park types, park ratings and reviews, and more.
- Route Sharing: Export our itinerary as a shareable link, so friends and family can follow along.
- Weather Integration: See forecasted conditions along our route to avoid storms or plan scenic stops around fair-weather windows.
These features turn RV trip planning from a chore into a creative process. We’ll often spend an evening experimenting with different routes just to see what new campsites or attractions pop up.
How Much Does RV LIFE Pro Cost?
RV LIFE Pro, which unlocks both Trip Wizard and RV Safe GPS, is priced at $19.99 per month or $65 per year. The monthly plan is perfect for infrequent travelers or those who prefer short-term access; the annual plan breaks down to about $5.42 per month and offers substantial savings if you’re an active RVer. Do note, the $19.99/month plan does not include a free trial period.

Yes—new subscribers get a 7-day free trial of RV LIFE Pro if you choose the annual subscription, so you can explore Trip Wizard’s trip planner app features and RV Safe GPS routing before committing. During the trial, you have full access to campground research, cost estimates, driving-radius overlays, and RV-specific GPS navigation. If you decide it’s not for you, simply cancel before the end of the trial.
Getting the Most Out of Your RV Trip Wizard Planner
To maximize your RV trip planner experience:
- Customize Your Rig Profile: Enter your exact height, weight, and propane setup so RV Safe GPS routes you on legally accessible roads.
- Rank Your Memberships: Prioritize discount clubs (what you are a member of) in Trip Wizard to always find the best deals.
- Download Offline Data: Before heading into remote areas, download your itinerary and maps to avoid being without guidance.
- Leverage Community Reviews: Read fellow RVers’ campground feedback to steer clear of noisy sites or under-maintained facilities.
- Re-evaluate Mid-Trip: If weather or breakdowns occur, simply drag your route to a repair facility or alternate campground—and cost estimates adjust on the fly.
These small steps have saved us hours of stress and hundreds of dollars in unexpected fees.
Why RV Wizard Planner from RV Life Is A Must Have Tool
RV Life Pro is a must have for us to help plan our trips. I can choose my route by how many hours I want to travel a day, put in how many days I’m staying at each stop in the planner, search to find the options for campgrounds, go directly to those campground’s websites to make reservations, and make notes in the app.
I can also put in costs, it helps calculate fuel, and I have an idea of how much the trip will cost. You can lock in your days – my trick so I know when I’ve made reservations to not move around the dates. And also I can search for points of interest so we don’t miss anything worth seeing on our trip. It really is a must have tool!
