Rv trip wizard

Learned today that RV Trip Wizard does not control their routing engine. So therefore, double check all their routing recommendations. When set on "RV" settings it routes me 90 miles down and up the same interstate. Wonder if it's going to catch low over passes?

I called and spoke with them about their routing a year or so ago. Although I don't completely understand why, they said that their online planning tool, RV Trip Wizard, does not use the same routing logic as their RV Life mobile app. I was told that I need to view the route in the RV Life mobile app to get a final route that includes all of the safety stuff like low overpasses.

Although I really like RVTW for my planning I am disappointed that my planned routes and times could be off by quite a bit in real life application. RVTW could route me right through a low overpass that the mobile app would route me around. That seems like it is something that they should be able to fix

This is good information to know. I use rvparky and have played around with RVTW. I noticed they sometimes produce different routes. I have a Rand McNally Truckers Atlas and double check my routes .
