    It’s crazy I’m watching this from my first Motorhome! I love it already. The build quality is great for the money. I got a 2016 Coachman By Forrest River Encounter 37SA. So much space, my dog loves it.
    My first tip: If you have a front shade buy a Projector! It’s expanded my screen size so much from my tv’s. I love it!

    You may have hit on it and I missed it but one of the things we also use it for is the tips. Tips on things to see or places to eat or finding good ICE CREAM! Hum maybe we should start a Trip Wizard for ice cream places

    Great video. Got Trip Wizard a year ago on your recommendation. Used it for a couple of times, sold my trailer and a year later bought a motor home was pleased to see how easy it was to update and how intuitive it is. After I updated, I had trouble logging it on my phone, contacted them directly and got great read pines and follow ups. It turned out I needed to log in on my phone even though it looked like I was easy peazy. My point, at midnight CMT, I got the help I needed within 10 minutes. Wow!

    THANK YOU!!! This has been on my list. The Universe is AWESOME!!! I open CZcams and there you are on my feed. I can’t thank you enough for the discount code❣️ Still haven’t taken our fist trip. I did not anticipate the expense associated with everything I needed to buy. Nonetheless, I’m grateful and know we will be safe when we get on the road. Stacy, may I ask a favor? I’m currently researching hydraulic pneumatic jacks. We have a small coach (Class C 24’). I have two daughters with special needs. Accordingly, I need to be able to change a tire, if necessary. Any recommendations??? If y’all have uploaded a previous video, please provide link. I haven’t found anything to date. Thanks again for sharing and helping me on this journey!!! Sending y’all love & light!!! 💖 Safe travels, Penny

    Thank you Stacy for pointing me to your guys blog. Planning a "lap-around-America" using this planning wizard. Learned a few things from your video which are a huge help. Your blog is a really insightful way to approach building future trips. Thanks again, Beat Army!

  • @Rob0319
    @Rob0319 Před 2 lety +3

    Another great video. One other feature that I think is useful is if you enter your RVs mileage and fuel tank capacity it will show you when your fuel level is getting low. Then you can know when to plan a fuel stop on the route.

    Just purchased my first RV (Entegra Vision XL) after about five years of over researching. I am now going back and rewatching all you how-to videos to get ready. We pick up the rig in about two weeks and hope to moving out of our house in about 6-8 weeks. I am retiring form the army (27 years) in January and this is the first step in our new life plan. Trying not to buy everything I see for the RV. Just the necessities right now. And now I see I probably need to spend a few bucks on memberships. Good thing we have been saving for this transition for the past 15 years. Excited to get on the road, but nervous to be moving on. This will be the first time in my life that no one is telling me where I have to go. I guess Trip Wizard will be my new guide.

    RVTW is essential! It has such a depth of planning tools and you've done a great job showing them all with this tutorial. I've been using it for a year but I learned a few good tips from your presentation. Almost bought an RV atlas but the GPS routing app is the way to go! Your vid inspired me to go into my archived trips and add comments about our experience at particular CG's.

    Now a $65.00 annual subscription. A bit pricey for the weekender and the Trip Wizard forums (Keystone) can leave a lot to be desired. We are RV full timers, nearing 25,000 travel miles, and subscriber to Trip Wizard, since 2018 now looking at other trip planners.
    Enjoyed the video, the presentation is excellent, as always.

    I wished you could merge trips with friends so you could see both routes on the map and see where they meet. Making it easier to plan routes to meet up with friends then continue in separate ways. Awesome video.....

  • @peacefullivingorganics7504

    Thank you for the video. We got Trip Wizard about 6 months ago at your recommendation. We had a TT but upgraded to a Class A this year. I am currently planning our first long trip from SW FL to TX then to Charlotte NC (grand baby) then back to SW FL with many adventures along the way. Thank you for the additional training. Well done. Be safe and enjoy the adventure.....

  • @qaylan9367
    @qaylan9367 Před 2 lety

    Truly outstanding job of demonstrating the Trip Planning and general functionality of RVTW. I signed up for RVTW this past February and have been using it to plan out our trips since. Overall, I really like it but the GPS is terrible, the worst I've ever used. You also have to pay close attention to the routing as it will map some weird out of the way routes when quicker safe routes are available. Additionally, when you drag the route as you showed in your demo you need to look closely at where you drop it because the software isn't intuitive enough to snap the route to a major road but will drop it wherever you let off the mouse which causes strange loops or unintended reroutes. Zoom in on the route map and you'll see it. The GPS also gives strange road names when Google Maps will just give the route number like I40. The GPS also struggles with telling the next turn until you get right up on it which most times causes last second scrambling to switch lanes which is the last thing you need when driving an RV. Each trip we make we use the RVTW GPS and Google Maps at the same time to compare the routes and usually stick to Google Maps as the default. I'm going to buy the Garmin RV 890 with hopes we can get the GPS functionality we need for our RV routes.

    @dennycappetta2035 Před 2 lety

    Stacy, you're the best. Just got back home from a trip to DC. Did the Million Nurse's March there. Used RVTripWizard for all our planning. One wish list I would have liked on the RV Safe GPS app is elevation as we go. Coming through the Appalachian Mountains all of a sudden there was a huge red warning sign alerting a steep mountain decline grade with speed limit of 10 mph. Handled it OK but I might have chosen a different route.

    Been following you for about a year, and some of this you may have covered. we have been full time for two months. that said, for people out west or if they are headed out west. I just wanted to point out Moab UT. We just spent 9 days their and could have stayed another week. with Arches and Canyons National Parks. be sure to check out timed entry permits . not needed at Canyons. lots of short walks and hikes in Arches. A world of off road jeering, guided or not at all levels. this is a bucket destination. And people can use the RV Wisard to get their.

    @markbowles623 Před 2 lety

    I have planned a trip with Wizard or shall I say over planned it. It has every night reserved out for 6 weeks. I just can not free wheel and hope to get a spot. It is very expensive as I have not planned any boondocking at all. I think I need an intervention to help me with less planning and more boondocking. Next trip I will try another approach (I just joined boondockers welcome) We will see.

    Stacy, my wife and I think you are awesome!! Phil too. :) This training was spectacularly helpful. We are coming off of 5 years full time traveling on a motor yacht and now learning the Motorhome world as we're going full time in January. I like RV Trip Wizard but unless I'm doing something wrong, it does not show alternative routes like the Co Pilot app does. Is that a setting and if not, have you used Co-Pilot? Thanks so much for the huge library of CZcams greatness. God bless!

      Trip Wizard gives you an estimated route. If you want to use RV Life's RV safe GPS you will need to download the app. It will have more of what you are looking for. It is a part of the bundle. Log in using the same login and password. Then download your route.

    Great video w/solid tutorial. However, not sure I saw what i would prefer. Instead of building trip one stop at a time, I want to give the Trip Wiz my starting point and my ultimate destination - say, Kansas City to Grand Canyon - and have it provide me the best route for my RV. Then fill in the stops along the way. Does this program offer that?

    Stacy, you make it look easy. I’ve tried Trip Wizard several times and JUST CAN’T GET IT TO WORK! Frustrated.

      Yes. We use the Garmin 890 for our navigation on the road. Stacy uses RV Trip Wizard for all route planning.
