🛠️ Crafted by RVers, for RVers: As RVers, we've experienced the limitations of car-based GPS apps and the frustration of needing an app to work when you are offline.

Designed specifically for RVers (sorry, tent campers), we've developed an RV-specific platform for researching, trip planning, navigation, maintenance tracking, and more. The most important features of our app, our campground directory, and map plus the GPS’ turn-by-turn directions function offline in remote locations with no internet.

🚍 Customized RV GPS Navigation and Safe Routes: Our GPS navigation, customized for your RV's height, length, and weight, ensures you avoid low clearances, hazardous mountain passes, and inappropriate guidance that comes from using car-based GPS services. Enjoy turn-by-turn, offline directions, voice navigation, lane guidance, and real-time traffic alerts.

🏕️ The Unrivaled Authority in RV Park Directories: For decades, we have been the go-to directory for RVers. Explore every RV campground, RV park, and RV resort, easily accessible through our intuitive map-based interface. With over ten million data points derived from firsthand insights from fellow RV travelers, we provide you with the highest quality data to ensure you are informed during your travels.

Our specialized RV park database offers in-depth information relevant to RVers, such as campground amenities, internet speeds for gauging cellular coverage, feedback on sewer and water connections, lot spacing, tow vehicle parking, etc.

Confidently navigate knowing you have access to world-class data crowdsourced by verified RVers. Gain insights, such as things to do, places to eat, and other advice, from fellow RVers who've journeyed there before you.

Our RV-focused filters simplify the process of finding well-rated, popular RV campgrounds. You can search by type (National Parks, KOAs, BLM, etc.) and RV discount (Good Sam, Passport America, AAA).

Ratings and reviews

Web app experience is good. Mobile app compatibility with Android auto falls short of expectations. If I stop all audio or music sources, the app navigation prompts work (can be heard in my car over the speakers). But with music or news or a podcast playing, the RV life app navigation prompts cannot be heard. It interrupts music but no audio prompt. Volume isn't the issue. Significantly undermines the value of the app. Also, speed limits are at least a decade out of date (aka useless).

Integration with here maps is nice but they've dropped the ball on some very basic functionality. Nice that it supports Android Auto! The most major issue is that if you use your phone to take a photo then go back to the app it will lose your directions every time and you have to go through the steps to start again. More minor issues: They don't show exit numbers. Often the directions state 'proceed to highlighted route' while you're on the route.

Bad Directions. This app has given myself and others in our camping party very inaccurate directions on more than one occasion. So bad, that a member of our group was lost for 2 hours once. I'm sure to cross reference this apps directions with Google maps directions from now on. Most the other aspects of this app are great. They just need to get the GPS and navigation sorted out.
