Trip Planning Software/App?

Since planning is half the fun, give me your best suggestion for trip planning software or app. I've been using the free version of Roadtrippers and now of course I've hit the limit of what it will do for free. Any other favorites I should consider before I open my wallet and buy a subscription? Tha...

Re: Our First Trip Under our Belts

She was named when we bought her. Yes, after the movie. Just inside the door, where the furnace used to be, is a reproduction of the movie poster. I promised the previous owner we wouldn’t change her name. It suits her.

Initially bought it to park at our weekend property for extra sleeping quarters. But when I realized what great shape it was in I just had to ...

My tail, signal, and brake lights work. My summer trip won't have us driving at night so I don't expect my clearance lights to ever ...

Re: Break Away Switch

Thanks for the link Silverloaf. Given the weight of my trailer (<3000lbs) I may not be required to have one. But I guess I’ll research what it would involve to wire one in.
