Embracing technology
In a world that’s increasingly reliant on technology, we can either shun it or embrace it. While technology can be a source of endless entertainment, there are also many ways in which it can be used to help us, especially when we’re RVing. While there are a lot of apps to choose from, some of them stand out in offering the best benefits for those on the road.
Campgrounds galore
Never wonder where campgrounds are again! With the Allstays Camp and RV app, you can find a place to feel at home wherever you are. The app works whether you’re connected to the internet or not, and it gives you many browsing options depending on what’s most important to you in a stay. It does cost money, but it’s a small fee for a powerful database of campsites!
Checking your list
Actually, with RV Checklist, you won’t need to make a list. This app has travel lists already made for you, and you can tailor them depending on what you want to bring and what you don’t. You won’t have to spend hours creating a packing list because this app already has one made for you. It guarantees you won’t forget to add something to your list, and when you head out, you won’t have to stop at a store to pick up what you’ve forgotten.
More than a GPS
Roadtrippers is made for those who want to experience excitement along their route. The app helps you find new ways to get to your destination and even plan stops at locations, events, and side destinations you want to see on your way. It makes traveling easier and a lot more fun!
Knowing what you’re in for
Waze is sourced by all the travelers on the road who use the app. If there’s a construction zone, it’s often depicted on the map by a traveler ahead of you, so you’ll know it’s coming up. If there’s debris in the road, someone has probably already pinged it on the map so you can keep an eye out. Whether someone is broken down on the side of the road, there’s a huge pothole, or you’re looking for the cheapest gas nearby, this app will keep you informed. If you find that any information is incorrect or something marked on the map has been cleared up, you can remove it so travelers behind you will know there’s nothing to look out for!
A history lover’s dream
Don’t spend a bunch of time on search engines looking for historical locations nearby. History Here has what you’re looking for. Based on your location, you can use this app to find a lot of interesting historical locations wherever you are. Simply open the app, look for something that interests you, and head off to add some history to your adventure!
When the tanks are full
The Sanidumps RV Dump Station locator will lead you to the closest dump station if you’re on the road and find out that your tanks are full. Directions can easily be followed through an integration with Google Maps, and you can even save locations you drive through often. There’s a search feature that allows you to look up the stations you’re going to, so if the tanks aren’t full yet but you know they will be, you can plan a stop just before your destination.
Hiking with ease
While AllTrails won’t make your hiking, biking, or jogging easier, it will help you find places to go to get your hike on. Using your location, this app will scan nearby areas to let you know about the closest trails that you can use for fitness or just to unwind from a long day on the road. Don’t worry about getting out at a truck stop and stretching your legs; this app will have you on a trail in no time!
