directions

I use the RV trip wizard which will take you a preferred 'rv route' way by avoiding low bridges, etc... It has worked well for me.

360 now that you mentioned it I did cross the country in a 1936 Plymouth pick up once. You do remember those I'm sure. Today I use a modern DP with a diesel in the back that got $3600 worth of damage going into Pigeon Forge because DW insisted on using her GPS thing and it took us down a near dirt road.

If you check your brain at the door, neither map nor GPS can help you.

@ferndaleflyer, my response was not directed at your post at all. It was directed at the OPs question. Cheers

360 now that you mentioned it I did cross the country in a 1936 Plymouth pick up once. You do remember those I'm sure.

Oh and I have lived and worked in 23 countries before Google and got there and back each and every time. I also don't use face book. Old school but it works for me and having read your posts on here for years I should not dispute your grasp of modern technology and its effects on the world. Carry on

The OPs question begs the question of overall minimum competence to travel.
If you’re really OCD you could plug in the same destination in Waze Google and Apple and a half dozen others likely and see where they all take you.
Hint, it’s gonna be about the same. Or exactly the same.
How did you look up directions before thinking about directions with a RV? (Presume you’re not 50-60’ long and looking for truck routes only or something obscure.)

Road maps have taken me all over this country for something like 67 years so see no need to change besides after all these years most of the time I need nothing but recall. But that is just me.

This is like saying you traveled all over the country in a 1950's vintage carburated british Mini.

Yeah, you can do it but it's a heck of a lot easier and more reliable to use a modern truck with fuel injection.

I use a erasable truckers road atlas. Mark my route and x the number of miles I will drive, then look at rest or camping areas where I am stopping for night. I use Harvest Hosts. Passport America put an x on the map,

I prefer Waze and as of yet I do not know how to put waze on my PC for a rolling big screen use.

Hi,

I use the trip planner from https://freecampsites.net/#!&query=TripPlanner

I use Google maps for directions and I also use street view to plan my fuel stops. I like to find stations with easy access for longer trips. I'll plan my route on my computer, then mirror on my cell phone.

I use a paid subscription for TomTom on my phone. On the TomTom website I can tell it I put it in RV mode where I have entered my setup deails, length, width and heighth. It will then plan routes using that information. I can then study and tweak the route as needed. Once I am happy it saves the route and the app can synch to my phone.

Couple years ago I did not do this and went on a trip in the Smokey Mountains, the GPS put me on roads I had no business being on towing a TT. Afterwards I discovered the TomTom feature I described above and experimented. For the Smokey Mountains trip I would switch between car and rv and it would change the route. When using the RV settings it avoided the road I should not have taken.
