General Road Trip Resources
If you’re taking a road trip, these will help.
Get my road trip book – This is a book I wrote about planning a road trip. Planning An Epic Road Trip On Any Budget
Join our road trip planning Facebook Group – We started a Facebook Group to help you plan your trip. We are personally in there answering your questions. Full Time RVing and Road Trip Travel with Journey With The Gs
RV Specific Gear
If you’re in an RV, these are all of our recommendations.
RV GPS – This is the GPS that we use personally for every trip we take – the Garmin RV 785. We can put in the height, weight, and width of our RV so we don’t drive where we can’t.
TST 507 Tire Pressure Monitoring System – There are a lot of things that can go wrong with your tires on moving day. This system will let you know how your tire pressure and temperature are at any given moment.
RV Sticker Map Does it count if you don’t show it off? We love this map to show off where we’ve been in the RV throughout the US.
Scratch off road map We’ve used this map since 2015 and it’s such a cool way to see the highways we’ve driven on.
50A Portable Wireless Surge Guard There’s a lot of electricity running through the campgrounds and your RV, having a surge protector is an important tool to protect your rig!
Camping Journal & RV Travel Logbook Keeping track of where you’ve been, what you liked and didn’t like about a campground is so important. This is the journal I use on every trip.
Instant Pot I was never one to do a lot of cooking or baking, until I got an Instant Pot. This has been my best friend in the kitchen since we hit the road (and before!)
Air Compressor Having our own compressor has been a really nice addition to our “tool bag.” When we first got our truck, we had to fill up the tires and regular gas stations did NOT have a high enough PSI.
RV Memberships & Camping
Thousand Trails this has been THE best camping membership we’ve gotten. I did a whole post on how we use our membership here.
RV Life Pro I’ve used RV Life Trip Wizard to plan EVERY one of our trips and to find reviews of campgrounds.
Harvest Hosts This is a really fun camping membership that allows self contained RVs to stay on a business’ property. You could stay at a brewery one day, a church the next and a museum the day after that. Check out our experiences in the Northeast with Harvest Hosts.
Escapees – We use Escapees for a few things. First is our mail handling and forwarding. All of our mail goes to one of our two addresses (Texas for most things, Florida for important things like taxes or licenses). They’ll scan the envelopes and the contents if we ask. They keep our mail until we ask them to forward it to wherever we are. We also used them to get our domicile set up in Florida. It was a very easy process and it could be helpful to stay at their campground while you’re working on that.
Hipcamp – This is like Airbnb but with campsites. This link will save you $10 off your first stay! Some may be dry (no hook ups) and others, like one we visited in Central Florida, had full hook ups!
