planning

Wife and I have decided to full-time RV once our youngest graduates. That doesn't happen for 3 years, so we have plenty of time to plan. We've decided to do a fifth wheel rather than a motorhome because I think it'll be better to use our TV rather than towing an extra vehicle, and because most...

Hello , I recently have been looking at trip apps. I’m looking for any recommendations you might have , obviously free would be great but I’m not limiting myself to just those. I am currently using a garmin 770LMT gps which does a good job from keeping me away from low bridges etc . Can any of...

Hey all I’m from SC and really want to build a Squaredrop. Thinking of using a Northern Tool 5x8 trail that I will weld up and change wheels. I’d like to keep the cost around the 3500$ mark. If possible lol. Must have shore power capability because I use a cpap. Squaredrop will end up being 5x9...

I’m glad to join the group. I have followed RV discussions for a while and I finally decided to register so I can learn and take part. I travel with family a few times each year, and I want to get more confident with trip planning and campground etiquette. I am especially interested in...

Hi everyone, I’m working on a 10kW electrical system for my Imagine 2920 BB and I’m in the planning stage right now. I want to draw everything out to make sure I have enough space and to get a clear idea of where all the components will be installed. When I look online, I see a lot of layouts...

I apologize up front because this topic SURELY has been discussed before. If so, please refer me to the threads. I have entered the world of mid-length travel trailers (32ft) and gasoline fuel stops. I like to have custom routes too. You guessed it - I need a resource that allows that to...

Good morning and thank you for letting me join. This spring I will hopefully realize my 20+ year dream of buying an RV. I have participated in SCCA road racing for 30 years and plan to use the RV primarily for towing the race car to/from tracks and living in the RV during race trips. I'm...

First time poster, hopefully in the correct place for information. Hoping to find others looking to put together a trip to South America. I’d be driving from Central Oregon and would like to drive to Tierra Del Fuego and back. Mostly just to site see, but would love to get some fly fishing as...

First off, I thank all who replied to my UP thread last year, it was fantastic and totally recommend the Copper Harbor area. The mosquitos my main concern were negligible. Now I am planning this year's journey, Sarasota Fl. to Nova Scotia. I am lookin at 6-8 weeks traveling no more than 350...

Trying to plan spring trip to Las Vegas with stops in Dallas, Amarillo, Santa Fe and Sedona. Looking for best routing site.

I am planning a new residence in Alabama with an enclosed RV garage. I'm planning plenty of length, width, height, etc, my question has to do with full hookups. How have others handled the water & sewer hookup inside the building? Did you include a drain for a possible oops on water leak? Is the...

We are planning our longest trip yet. Leaving the southeast and traveling to Bamff via national parks. Then dropping south through salt lake, lake Powell, Bryce Canyon and back through big bend . Any advice, especially on the Bamff portion, would be great. We plan to leave Florida mid August.

Hello, my name is Loribeth and I'm in South Eastern Pennsylvania. I'm here to learn as much as I can about Skoolie life. Our goal is to retire in a situation where our monthly bills will be as low as possible. Our youngest is in 10th grade so we'll be empty nesters before we know it. We also...

Hey there! Thought I would hop on an introduce myself and get some thoughts on my current floor plan. We started planning out a rough floor plan first because we had some super niche needs and wanted to make sure we would be able to make it work before diving in head first! I know it will likely...

We live in New York. We plan on selling our house and just leaving. I am not sure what would be considered my domicile. From what I see if I don't spend any time in New York, I don't have to pay taxes. Just trying to figure out things.

Short and sweet post - and its been a LONG LONG time coming!! We ordered our new 5.0 from Escape today!! :) We are so excited!! :)

I'm still getting used to the RV Life app, I feel like there is so much to learn. I've been participating in a Winnebago Forum for a little while, but I want to expand a little here. We bought a 2018 Minnie Winnie 25B that was/is in excellent shape back in May 2025. After a Summer of short...

Wife and I are now fully retired and ready for more extended trips. Alaska is #1 on our list. Tell us about your Alaska trip. What areas did you visit? What route did you take? Go alone or with a group? Favorite places or camping areas? Favorite excursions? Any dry camping or boondocking? etc...

We retire in about 3 years and the other day the wife says that we should sell everything, buy a motorhome and travel the country for a couple of years. Sounds like fun, and hoping to learn where to start. I am in the RV retail industry, so I know what they are, so there's that. I'm thinking an...

We are on our way home from Sacramento to Calgary, Alberta. It is mid November and finding a a route home through the mountains during earlier winter is a challenge. We were introduced to a program called RV Weather and it has proven to be an invaluable tool for trip planning. Using the...
