Welcome to Tuesday fellow travelers,
Yes, an RV can be a money pit, and in many cases, it is. Buying and maintaining an RV comes with a lot of expenses that can dig deeper and deeper into your bank account.
However, by being aware of common wallet-gouging costs, you can budget accordingly. Or, bet yet, you can avoid or minimize many of them.

You asked. We built it. The Trip Dashboard just got a major upgrade.
When we launched the RV Lifestyle Trip Planner Dashboard a few months back, I honestly wasn't sure how it would land. Jen and I knew we needed something like it — we were tired of juggling spreadsheets, sticky notes, three browser tabs, and a glove box stuffed with confirmation emails every time we hit the road.
Turns out, a lot of you were tired of the same thing.
The response has been incredible. Many of you have picked it up, and the emails, comments, and suggestions have been pouring in nonstop. So we listened. Over the last few weeks we've rolled out a serious round of upgrades — almost every one of them coming straight from your requests.
Here's what's new:
- Campground search that actually finds the good stuff. Public lands, state parks, COE, BLM, Recreation.gov sites, and the major commercial parks — KOA, Jellystone, Thousand Trails, Sun, Encore, Good Sam parks. Distance, amenities, phone numbers, AI-summarized reviews, and a one-click button to drop it right into your trip.
- Find Stops on the road. Rest areas, dump stations, propane refills, truck stops, and overnight-friendly parking like Walmart, Cabela's, Cracker Barrel, and BLM dispersed camping — all searchable by city or landmark with a radius slider.
- Morning Brief. Tap a button and get a read-aloud summary of your day's drive, stops, and campground. Pour the coffee, listen up, turn the key.
- Trip Templates. Famous routes — Route 66, Pacific Coast Highway, the Smokies, and more — pre-loaded and ready to customize.
- Rig Profile. Enter your height, length, MPG, and fuel type once. We use it to flag low clearances along your route and estimate fuel costs for every trip after that.
- Cloud sync across every device. Plan on your laptop at home. Pull it up on your phone in the rig. It's all there, automatically.
- Export to PDF and GPX. Print one for the glove box. Load the route into your Garmin. Share the link with whoever's traveling with you.
And here's the thing - I've looked. There is nothing else on the market that puts your driving days, campgrounds, stops, route map, fuel estimates, budget, checklist, meal plan, and emergency info in one place, on every device, that syncs as you type.
Most planners do one piece. The RV Trip Planner Dashboard does the whole trip.
If you've already got it — thank you. Sign in and the new features are waiting for you. Nothing to update, nothing to install. You get every update automatically. Free.
If you haven't grabbed it yet, now's the time. We are very proud of this one. One-time access, $39, yours forever.
