Travel Planning Apps

Any recommendations for a travel planning app. I search and did not find a post. Any help would be appreciated.

There may be some, but if one knows what one wants, it's mainly a matter of time versus distance.

50-mph for all miles

300-miles per day

15" break every two hours or 100-miles

60" break after four hours.

I prefer to combine the 60" minute break with fuel and lunch. I also prefer to start and end the day early (but no more than a half hour before dawn).

With a travel speed of 58-62/mph the days travel is over soon enough. It's not ever a race.

Safety is first (the above is close to rules for professional drivers).

Thus to arrive at a particular time, work backwards from that destination using the above. Plan the rest area breaks plus lunch and fuel the night before. This has worked pretty well for us the past fifty years.

As to campsites, RV Park Review, Allstays, etc, are a start. See also threads about states or Parks you want to visit. Plenty there.

Good luck

We have been on what amounts to a8000 mile trip this summer/fall. I have been using the trip planner on theGood Sam site. I especially like the button for oddities along your route. We would have totally missed some very cool things. The Gas Buddy app is also a good thing to have although our new gps gives us station locations but not current prices.

RV Park Reviews
Allstays
Campendium, and a new one we like:
Ultimate Campgrounds
Google maps
Bing maps

Some sites like Good Sam promote subscribers and don't list many UTR campgrounds like city and county parks.
