RV LIFE RESOURCES
Looking for practical RV resources that actually make life on the road easier?
After 6+ years of full-time RV travel, we’ve collected a lot of lessons the hard way.
So we’ve turned some of them into practical resources to help with everything from buying an RV and understanding towing numbers to budgeting for RV life and planning your next family road trip.
Some are completely free. Others are more detailed destination resources we’ve created to help you spend less time researching and more time exploring.
FREE RV RESOURCES
Start here. These are 100% free.
Whether you’re just getting into RVing or have been doing this awhile, these are tools we’ve built to make some of the confusing parts a little easier.
Wondering what RV life actually costs?
Our Free RV Monthly Budget Tracker helps you keep track of the expenses that come with RV life, from campground stays and fuel to propane, laundry, repairs and all the random stuff that adds up along the way.
We built it around the same categories we use to track our own full-time RV expenses.
Use it to:
Track monthly RV expenses
See where your money is actually going
Compare spending month to month
Build a more realistic RV-life budget
Don’t walk through an RV dealership without this.
There is a LOT to look at when you’re shopping for an RV, and it’s surprisingly easy to get distracted by the pretty countertops and completely forget the stuff that actually matters.
Our RV Buying Checklist gives you a simple list of things to look at, measure, check and think about before choosing your next RV.
Perfect whether you’re buying your first RV or your fifth.
GVWR. Payload. Pin weight. GCWR. What does any of it actually mean?
RV towing numbers can get confusing fast.
This free guide breaks down the numbers you’ll see on your truck and RV so you can better understand what they mean and how they work together.
Because figuring out whether your truck can tow your RV involves a little more than asking, “What’s the tow rating?”
The RV stuff we’d actually tell a friend to buy.
There are thousands of RV gadgets out there.
You definitely don’t need thousands of RV gadgets.
RV Gear 101 is our collection of the gear, tools and RV essentials we’ve found genuinely useful after years of living and traveling in an RV full-time.
No need to buy everything before your first trip. Start with what solves an actual problem.
