Help & Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using RV Path.

RV Search & Discovery

Find your perfect rig with our advanced filtering system. You can search by weight, sleeping capacity, brand, and more. Use the 'Compare' tool to view specs side-by-side. Save your top picks to 'Favorites' for easy access later.

Trip & Adventure Planning

Plan your route with confidence. Create a new trip, add stops, and let our AI suggest optimal routes based on your RV's size and preferences. Pro users get access to 'Adventure Mode' which suggests scenic stops and activities along the way.

Smart Checklists

Never forget a thing. Use our pre-built specialized checklists for Departure, Arrival, and Winterization. You can fully customize these lists or create your own from scratch to match your specific camping style.

Tow Check & Safety

Safety first. Input your tow vehicle's VIN or manual specs (Payload, Towing Capacity, GCWR). When you view an RV, we instantly calculate if it's safe to tow, factoring in passengers and cargo. Green means go, Red means unsafe.

Common Questions

Is RV Path free to use?

Yes! The core features like campsite searching and checklist management are free. We offer a Pro subscription for advanced features like offline maps, RV-specific routing, and weather alerts.

Does navigation work offline?

Yes, Pro users can download maps for entire regions. This allows you to search for campsites and navigate turn-by-turn even when you have zero cell service.

How accurate is the low clearance data?

We use commercial-grade trucking and RV mapping data, updated weekly. However, we always recommend paying attention to road signs, as construction or repaving can change clearances.

How do I know if my truck can tow my trailer?

It's not just about the "Tow Rating." You also need to consider payload, tongue weight, and GVWR. Check out our in-depth Towing & Payload Guide for a detailed breakdown and math examples.

Can I plan a trip on my computer?

Currently, RV Path is a mobile-first experience for iOS and Android. A web planner is on our roadmap for late 2026!
