Finding convenient places to stop while traveling in an RV can be challenging, especially when you’re driving a large motorhome or towing a trailer. Today’s guest will tell us about an app he personally designed to make it easier to find important stops.

Stephen Ayers is a longtime RVer and software developer who created an iPhone app called RV Trip Pilot to make traveling easier, safer and more enjoyable.

The app helps RVers locate fuel stations, restaurants, rest areas, campgrounds and overnight parking options along their routes.

It can even display fuel prices, suggest interesting attractions and alert drivers to changing weather conditions ahead.

RV Trip Pilot works with Apple CarPlay and Apple Watch, and it costs just $9.99 as a one-time purchase, without ongoing subscription fees.

Stephen explains how his own RVing experiences inspired the app and how Workampers can use it to simplify their journeys between assignments.

One thing I appreciate about RV Trip Pilot is that Stephen developed it to solve problems he encountered while traveling in his own motorhome.

For Workampers heading to their next assignment or out exploring the area they are visiting, the app can help identify convenient fuel stops, compare available fuel prices and locate campgrounds near where they expect to finish driving for the day.

It can also help RVers avoid unnecessary detours by finding services ahead of them rather than suggesting places they’ve already passed.

The weather forecasting feature is especially useful because it shows anticipated conditions along the route when travelers expect to arrive. That gives RVers an opportunity to adjust their schedules to avoid storms.

When Workampers have time off to explore, the app can suggest interesting attractions and provide fun facts about places they might otherwise overlook.

RV Trip Pilot isn’t designed to replace specialized RV navigation software that accounts for vehicle height and weight restrictions. Instead, it complements those programs by making it easier to find useful stops along the way.
