10 Apps Every RV’er Must Have in 2020

Technology has changed the way we do almost everything, and RV camping is no different. For just about any task or problem that could arise when traveling in an RV, there’s an app for it. From finding the best gas prices to getting the most up to the minute weather forecasts, these 10 RV apps are some of the most helpful. Some are free and others are just a few dollars to download and install.

1. GPS CoPilot (Free). A good navigation app is absolutely crucial, especially one that works offline as well as on. If you like to get off the beaten path way out in the woods you may find that you won’t get a reliable cellular signal everywhere, so you need a navigation system that can still get you where you’re going. This one also includes points of interest.
2. GasBuddy (Free). This app helps you find the lowest gas prices along your route. When you’re filling up the tank on a large towing vehicle or motorhome, a few cents off per gallon can make a huge difference.
3. Sani Dumps (Free). When you need to empty your water tanks, this app helps you find the closest place to do so, legally of course.
4. Weather Radio (Free for the basic version, $4.99 for the enhanced version). This is more than just a weather app. This one shows an up to the minute detailed radar image of the area where you’re located so you can be extra careful to avoid severe weather.
5. Key Ring (Free). This app allows you to scan the barcodes on all of your reward or loyalty cards so that you don’t have to carry them all in your wallet or on your keychain. It also offers coupons for various retailers that you can redeem right from your phone in the store.
6. State Lines ($4.99). When you’re traveling from state to state it can be difficult to keep up with the different laws on and off the road. This app informs you of the laws of the current state you’re in from driving laws to taxes.
7. US Public Lands ($2.99). This app helps you find government owned land like state and national parks where you can boondock (dry camp) for free.
8. Camp and RV – Campgrounds Plus ($9.99). This one costs a little more than the average app, but it is a one-time download with free updates for life. This is the most comprehensive database of RV camping information from campgrounds to propane filling stations, and it works offline.
9. Coverage? ($2.99). Want to know where you can get call service and where you can’t? This app contains a map that shows the complete coverage of every cellular network across the US.
10. Trip Journal ($2.99). Want to have a record of your RV trips without having to take the time to write in an actual journal? Trip Journal collects information from your trip automatically and basically puts together a virtual scrap book of your travels.
