In the meantime we have added more features that are, hopefully, of good use for RVers coming to the North. Ones you are up here you can find

• gas stations
• free wifi hot spots
• rv parks
• campgrounds
• dump stations
• attractions

near your current location. Just type www.rvnorth.com into the browsers address bar (as you would do to access any other website) and you are good to go. Hope that helps.
See you soon in the North.

Stephan, another suggestion is to add a list of "scheduled" road construction areas in BC and the Yukon. Current driving conditions help but for trip planning it would be nice to know areas to avoid if at all possible. Your road conditions tab is also helpful but doesn't let you know that they are planning to tear up a certain area next month.

I'm not exactly sure where that information is but I was told it's available online somewhere. And since you usually have to go through BC to get to the Yukon adding a tab for scheduled construction in BC would kind of be appropriate.

Recently we were camping in Florida by to a lady cg host from AK and she was telling us how her brother came up to see her one year and was stuck in road construction where he went 40 miles in 18 hours. If he had checked the scheduled road construction he could have avoided that area.

Just a suggestion. Thanks

Hi Jim & Yvonne,

great idea. I will add this as soon as the 2014 schedules are available for the Yukon, so highway travellers have one convenient place to look up all the information they are interested in.

Regarding BC:

rvnorth.com was just released in January 2014. So for this year we will cover only the Yukon and see how much interest is in using our app. The future plan is to cover the entire North.

Thanks for you interest and feedback
