10 Must Have Apps for RVing

TRAVELING

The Gas Buddy app helps us find the best price for diesel in the area we are traveling.  It runs by knowing your location from your location sharing on your smart phone. It also has a feature where you can link your bank account to save money on your gas/diesel purchases.  It is a nice app to have when you RV.

We are always wanting to know what is on the exit of a highway to make the best choice of next meal or fuel options.  We love our THE NEXT EXIT books but this is very similar and right on your phone! This app will locate where you are and help you find the rest areas along the highway.  It will also identify the food, fuel and other options you might want to know getting off the road.  If you want to pay, it can also give you updated fuel pricing for the exit too.  This a great app for RVing.

Cost: FREE with in app purchase for fuel costs     

STAYING

Harvest Hosts is an overnight travelers dream.  You can find places to stay like wineries, breweries, golf courses, and farms.  Some have some type of hook-ups, others don't and you  would need to be self contained but staying is free!  Each of the locations have their own set of rules:  like running your generator, putting down your jacks or letting out your slides.

We tried our first Harvest Host experience at a brewery in Huntsville, Alabama.  Bryan called found out the info.  They told us what to do.  We arrived late afternoon, parked in their parking lot, let our our slides and went for pizza and beer!  It was a nice overnight stay and we probably would have bought dinner out that night anyway (we usually do when we travel) so staying was FREE!  We plan on taking advantage of all the many Harvest Hosts locations that occur in our travel plans. They have an app but you must sign up first on their website: Harvest Hosts.  Then download the app sign in and they have a cool map to start looking for places to stay!  App for IOS and Android.

AT YOUR DESTINATION

Weather App

Getting a good weather app can be tricky.  We always default to the Weather Channel one for daily use. It’s the one that comes on the widget with our mobile phones.  The other app we use is NOAA Weather Radar which will give us local notifications of tornadoes, hurricanes, wind, fire, flood and freezing wherever we are.  Along the way we discovered the Red Cross apps and have their emergency one too. See which of these is right for you! Recently, we were in an area that had a tornado watch.  The watch went to a warning and then we heard the local siren.  I was completely aware of what to do because the app had warned and updated me to what was going on in the area.  By the time the siren alerted, we were ready with the plan to move out of the RV into the club house to wait out the weather.   Cost:  Free

Compass App

A compass app can help your figure out your directions quickly and easily without having to find one in your RV or on the go.  Sometimes you just need to know your direction.  A compass can help!  There are a few free ones out there.  We us GPS Compass for Android.  If you have IOS, search compass and find one with good reviews. Cost: Usually Free  

Leveler App

An app that helps you see if you are level in your RV is a great thing to have!  We use Bubble Level but there are a number of free ones out there.  Try one out and you can tuck your big level away! Cost:  Free   The following apps for RVing were developed by fellow RVers Technomadia and The Mobile RV Internet Resource Center.  These apps are very useful!
