Traveling In An RV Fulltime Is Hard! We Had To Make A BIG Change! | Fulltime RV Living!

- We did a video awhile back, where we briefly touched on how we plan our trips and what all that process entails. It is the thing we hate most about fulltime RV life, because it requires so much research, planning, and waiting for the RV parks to call us back to check their availability for the dates we need. The past two years, it has taken a minimum of one full day to plan one month of travel, which may not sound like a lot, but when you plan months at a time, it requires a lot of time.
Based on user recommendations from our viewers, we decided to look at using RV LIFE Trip Wizard for our 10-month journey to Maine, this year. It was highly recommended to us, and almost sounded too good to be true. We go through the process of how the program works and what we like most about using it! Let’s just say, we will never go back to planning our trips without RV LIFE Trip Wizard! We were able to plan all 10-months in three days, and have a much more organized way of storing our trip plans by using this program!

We really enjoy and appreciate your videos! We purchased/subscribed to the trip wizard and are interested in their RV LIFE MAINTENANCE. Are you familiar with it and do you have a connected discount for it? We are leaving Florida and heading for the Lake of the Ozarks soon, so we will be giving TRIPWIZARD a little workout.
Great video!
Thanks!
Awesome !!! Thank you !!!
Thank you for watching!
WOW!!! That app sounds incredible…. Thanks for this info😊❤️🙏
Thank you! It is a great app!
Got my cup i ordered I love it i just wish it were bigger.
We hope you enjoy it!
Safe travels. Weather has been crazy everywhere.
Thank you! It has been very crazy lately!
Kevin, I liked the way you filmed this very interesting. I think I will use RV Trip Wizard from now on. I see you will be in CT. the end of May. My birthday is the 30th , maybe we can meet up. I do competition BBQ, would like your opinion.
Thank you! We have been trying different ways to film videos and transition between scenes with out just standing and talking about something! We feel this is more entertaining and fun for us! We will be around mystic that time and never turn down BBQ!
That’s pretty slick, I’m going to look into that program
I was skeptical at first, and it took me a day to decide if I liked it! But there is no way I could go back to the old way now!
Wow....amazing what you can do on the internet....glad you found an easier way for you!! More fun time!!!!
Yes, we used to spend so much time planning, it got overwhelming and felt like you would never get it done! Now we can do everything we used to do in a fraction of the time!
Gooood morning family besafe.
Goooood Mornin!
😊 I love this video!! Good job! Great ideas! ❤️ thanks for showing RV Life Trip Wizard works, I watch hundreds of Rv channels no one ever showed this!!
Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed the video!
@@PavingNewPaths yes will definitely get it now that I’ve watched your video.
I really liked the way you filmed this with the camera angles and back drops. Very cool! That app looks very interesting. I especially like the way it lets you see the low clearances, and toggle the features on and off to the level of what specific stations you want to see.
Thank you! This was me trying some new things for videos we have coming up! I just don't like to sit in one place and talk about things, this way seems more interesting! So far we love the app, our trip is planned now all we have to do is follow the plan!
I agree... Way more interesting... I think it would make editing easier....great job
Glad you like it, we are working on filming like this and other ways going forward to keep it more engaging and fun!
I hope we are ok after falling off the dumpster…. Lol
Good job!
I believe you guys were all ok after the fall!
I created a folder in my inbox for all reservation confirmations. I also copy and paste confirmation number in the notes area on RV Trip Wizard 😊
Yes we do all that as well but when you have 10 months to a year in advance at all times it becomes very unorganized! Since we confirm and pay in full our stays Rv trip wizard has basically done everything we used to do in one convenient place at a fraction of the time!
Kevin, we are originally from Rhode Island, and have been in Florida since last September. We will be heading to Indiana this week for some RV service at the factory and we will be back in Connecticut and Rhode Island in May and June . Will have to find where you will be and we will get together to say hello. TP
Reach out to us on facebook or instagram and we would love to meet up with you when we are in the area!
@@PavingNewPaths Kevin, unfortunately we do not use Facebook or instagram so I guess we will have to find another way to contact you, or we will have to sit on the side of I 95 at the RI CT state line and wait for you to come by.😂 TP
You can also email us at Hello@pavingnewpaths.com
@@PavingNewPaths Thank You Kevin, we can do that. TP
Very interesting!! Just might have to look into this!! Well, I guess i missed y'all when you were in West Virginia!! Maybe the next trip this way!! Stay safe out there!!
We just left there a few days ago! It is a great tool especially for those that have bigger trips planned!
That's one awesome app!
We think so as well!
What a great video and great information. Thank you and safe travels.
Thank you!
Awe, we just missed ya’ll in WV. 😥
We just left!
Great video... So Michigan in September mmmm where about in Michigan? Hope we can meet up when you are in Michigan.
We will barley be considered Michigan, will be in the Ann Arbor area! We are saving all of Michigan for another trip!
Ok maybe catch you then thanks.
I used this trip last year to go down to FL from PA. Made the trip less stressful knowing fuel and rest stops a head of time.
It really is nice knowing you have your trip planned and you no longer worry about the details, now all you have to do is follow your plan!
Great info. Thanks.
Thank you!
Can't wait to watch your northeast adventures near my neck of the woods stay safe God bless 🙏
We are excited to get up there and explore all of New England!
Morning, Guys
Goooood Mornin!
Love trip wizard! Sitting two sites from where you were in CreekFire. Love the camping resort! Safe travels! Love you all!
We loved Creekfire! Might be the best place we have ever stayed in our entire journey!
Kevin, welcome to the RV LIFE Trip Wizard family. Shelley and I have been using it for a couple of years now. Thank you for sharing. Peace and Safe Travels
Thanks Craig! We had our own way of doing things and that worked for 2 years! But man is this way easier and more efficient! Especially since we make our plans usually a year at a time!
Awesome
Thank you!
The way you showed on your laptop it looks super easy. My wife tried to do the planning in the app and had a difficult time, we actually let our membership expire but after your presentation it looks worth giving it another go. Thanks for the discount code.
That had to be a bit of work with all the camera repositioning.
Using the app on the phone is not as easy to me when using the desktop version! It was also not easy at first, after about a day of learning it and playing around with all the settings I really began to like this way more than anything else we had done before! The way I filmed this was actually easier and more fun than just sitting in front of the camera and trying to do one giant speech!
Wishing you ALL wonderful & safe travels! Thanks for sharing your journey and how you plan your travels. Cheers!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the info. Really enjoy your videos. Off topic…we noticed curtains in your video. Did you add those? Do you still have blinds behind? Thx. Loved the slide ski video you just made also. Cheers
Thank you so much! Alecia and her mom added those, we use tension rods to hold them up, and we still have the black out shades on the windows!
Your going to want to come back to NC one week is not enough to see this state. Wish I could get up with you all but at this point don't think I will be able to make it. I don't even know where you are in the state
We agree NC is a great state, and we will have to come back! We are near Asheville this week!
I'm watching backwards. I missed you in IL. I hope to meet you guys some day. Thank you for all the videos.
We are so glad you enjoy the videos! Honestly we try to make them where it doesn't matter to much if you watch out of order!
We love RV TripWizard! Great video!
Thank you! It has been great for us!
I'm in NC right now (until the end of April). Would be cool to meet the crew.
We are in Asheville area the rest of the week!
@@PavingNewPaths, I'm an hour away in Valdese. I'll shoot you an email and see if it works out to meet up.
We have been using RV Trip Wizard for a few years now. It's a game changer. Also part of the RV Pro subscription is the RV Maintenance tracker which I am starting to dabble in a little.
Our old way we thought was good! But it was all over the place and very unorganized! Now we have everything we used to do with several apps, and websites all in one place!
lol I've got to go through upper management also. I get overruled half the time
I tell people I am the VP of Procurement, Logistics and Maintenance, the rest is handled by upper management!
What a great video, Kevin! Thank you! That is the best description of Trip Whizzard that I have seen. And I like the changing up of camera angles/locations. Well done!
Thank you! We have been working on changing the way we film to make it more than just talking in one location! We like the idea of changing scenes/locations and using creative ways to transition between the scenes!
The app is what’s hard to understand . Can you show how your get it to start navigating your “trip” from the app? I can see my trips but idk how to make that trip navigate…
when you open the app you hit the GPS tab at the bottom and enter your starting and ending positions and thats how that works!
@@PavingNewPaths ohh .. hmmm I’ve been clicking on the trip then gps .. and of course nothing happens. Thanks
It is not going to automatically know your trip! When you select GPS you will have two addresses you have to enter, your starting and arrival destinations, and then you select start navigating!
Where are yall going to be in VA? We live in VA and would love to meet yall in person. We watch yalls channel all the time.
Williamsburg, will be there next week for two weeks!
WOW! You have a busy year ahead! We are using TripWizard to plan too. Sending prayers for a happy, healthy and safe year of adventures for you all!
It really made things so much easier for us! It seems busy, but remember we are not going home after every stay just moving on to the next place! We have slowed down though and most stays are 10-14 days with only a few being a week!
We use this app also and it's not yet let us down.
So far we love everything about this app! We thought our original way was easy, but it was just all over the place and the many apps and pages you had to use to do the job! Now it's all there in one place and is easy to manage!
Do you guys ever come thru southeast kansas? It would be great to meet you guys.
We have been there near Topeka two years ago and we go to Branson area every Thanksgiving!
What part of Kentucky in October will ya’ll be? We are close to the state line. Maybe we can meet up with ya’ll there!😊
We will be in Lexington, Louisville and cave city! in that order
Great travel info. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thank you!
@@PavingNewPaths You are welcome.
Where abouts are you going to be in Vermont and ny during your trip we are on the boarder of the 2 states
We will be in Battleboro Vermont, and then Watkins Glen NY and Niagara Falls NY!
This is cool. I'm not a RVer, but enjoy your adventures!
Thank you! We think it is very cool and made our way of traveling way easier!
Would love to know more about your Michigan stop in September. Love your channel and your adventures.
We will be near Ann Arbor!
One of your best videos yet! My wife and I are planning a long journey and the trip and route planning is most daunting. We have been using Allstasy PRO with a lot of success. However, most of those trips have been within WI MN, and U.P Michigan. St Augustine is the target now and will take a lot more planning with the consolidation of resources, Looks like RV Trip Wizzard may be just the ticket. I am using the 7-day trial now and may continue with an annual subscription.
I took advantage of the 25% reduction with your promo code too. Thanks!!
Ron
Thank you! We used to use so many different resources to plan our trips and it took so much time and effort! I went from taking one day to plan a month of travel to planning 10 months of travel in just 3 days!
Not sure where your going in Ohio in October but by the Dayton area is Fairborn Ohio & in October this small town goes all out for Halloween. They have lots of little shops, big animatronic figures out. Plus Wight Patterson AFB museum is so interesting, we go at least once a year.
We will be near Cincinnati in October, Cleveland in September!
Great video
Thank you!
What part of Delaware? We are in Lower Delaware.
Rehoboth bay is where we wil be in Delaware!
@@PavingNewPaths Thank you.
You taking the ferry to New Jersey?
@@ksphoebus No plans to ferry as of now!
@@PavingNewPaths CapeMay Lewes Ferry is a nice big ferry. And really close to Rehobeth.
Thank you for this vid.. We're just getting back into RVg... after 15 years... eeks where did the time go.. this is very helpful!
Your very welcome! This is a great way to plan your trips!
I use that often to plan the trips. Currently have a trip built to Key west and Wyoming/Colorado/New Mexico. Free time though is my enemy.
It changed everything for us! We used to waste so much time planning, It still takes time but is much faster and efficient now!
where are you going to be in Kentucky?
Lexington, Louisville and cave city
@@PavingNewPaths I'm in somerset. I may drop in the say hello
Thanks
Welcome to RVTW, glad you find it useful!! We are on our 3rd season using it and I love it. Are you planing the trips in sections or just one big 'trip' for the year? I like how it can warn me on fuel ranges since sometimes I am trying to avoid higher priced areas (we still stop, just skip the fuel prices there and pay less further down the road).
We plan the whole year at one time! So having it all in one place is great! What would have taken me 10 days the old way we did things was done in 3 days on Trip Wizard!
@@PavingNewPaths that is a fun map to see. Love when people share them. See others break it into month/quarter so the trip is less busy.
Should make for a great trip! We are excited and we booked some resort places along the way when the weather gets good!
Excellent Video
Thank you!
We were about 45 mins away from y’all yesterday.
Right now we are in North Carolina!
I try to avoid having to pay (RV Parks). Is this a hood app for boondockers like me?
I am full-time RV life as well.
You could use this to make plans for however you travel! As long as it is a place that has a resevation site then you can use it! We always stay at parks as we need the fun stuff for the kids!
Change is always good... as long as the change is for the good...🤔😆 keep rolling to 40.
I don't like change unless it is to make things easier! Planning is the things a dread the most about traveling fulltime! It's still not fun, but now it's easier and more efficient!
Thanks for all this info. How long does a 300 mile trip take you, assuming you have to stop more than normal due to all your family needs.
300 miles for us is around 6 -7 hours with our stops!
I noticed you had seat covers do those work well with the cooling feature on your seats? Where about in NY will you be? Another good video a lot of great info thanks
They work great with the heating and cooling seats! you can check them out here amzn.to/40CtI1f
We will be in Watkins Glen, and Niagara Falls!
@Paving New Paths the gorge at watkins glen is amazing if you can check it out. The finger lakes area of New York is beautiful country. Thanks for the link!
As a truck driver I avoid TA truck stops whenever possible. TA truck stops are soo trashy these days. I greatly prefer pilot/Flying J to TA. Loves is fine though.
We use all the truck stops, but will go to TA or Petro's first as they have the biggest discount in our fuel program we are on! Next up is Loves and our last choice is Pilot/Flying J, but only because they don't accept my fuel card there, so I have to take extra time by going inside to get the pump turned on! Since I don't like taking a space at the fuel Island I avoid those places unless there is no other choice!
@@PavingNewPaths for strictly fueling purposes I don't mind the TA but if I wanted to go inside and use the facilities I just wouldn't use the TA.
We hardly ever go inside any of the truck stops, we are there for fuel, and to take a break in the RV! We do occasionally grab food and we look for Loves when we want to get food!
Traveling as a vender at shows all over the country 90-2005 i foind the same thing worst was Pa
Come to Wisconsin
We will but that will have to be another trip!
What are your thoughts on the RV Link app?
I have never used it before, so I don't have an opinion of it! Is it the one that links RV techs with people, it seems like a good idea, however it really comes down to if your going to get the right tech for the job!
@@PavingNewPaths Yep, the one that works like Uber. It's actually called RV TechLink.
Ummm, did I just watch a 19 minute 17 second commercial?🤔
You watched a video about how we used to plan vs. how we plan now! We also did a short "how to" on the new way so that others can see how the app works!
We love trip wizard. Planning trips is our least favorite part of rving!
I absolutely hate planning, but it is also something you need to do if you want to ensure you get the experience your looking for!
First
I feel like I have made it when you finally get people that want to be the first comment on your video! Thanks
@@PavingNewPaths where in pa will you be in august ? We live on the eastern side of Pa
Around Harrisville PA!
