There’s an app for the whole lot proper? Nearly it appears. Now clearly I’m not suggesting you have to be looking at your telephone whereas driving, however your co-pilot may enable you take advantage of out of your time on the highway with some highway journey apps designed particularly for the highways and byways in America.
Beneath is the checklist of apps we now have used or at present use on the highway and why:
- RVParky – Most likely the perfect app we now have come throughout up to now for utilizing whereas on the highway. Its bought a map with icons for the closest truck stops, Walmart (if there’s a Walmart, there’s different issues in that city) gasoline stations, cracker barrels and camp grounds.
- Motel 6 – After we have been highway tripping in our suburban, this was our Go To for a fast nights relaxation. Its not an all inclusive resort, however that’s not what you’re in search of. Its a cheap place to catch some sleep earlier than hitting the highway for the subsequent leg of your journey.
- KOA – This tends to be the place we keep alongside the highways after we are happening lengthy journeys. The KOA system is damaged down into three totally different courses of campgrounds, which I’ll develop on in a second; Journey, Vacation and Resort. KOA is a favourite amongst vacationers as a result of there are particular facilities which might be required to fly the KOA flag like showers, laundry providers and so forth. KOA Journey is comparatively near the freeway for a fast pull off, relaxation up, and again on the highway. KOA Vacation has expanded facilities, RV websites with patios, and deluxe cabins for the auto highway tripper to take an prolonged relaxation within the nice outdoor. KOA Resort is designed to be the vacation spot, with leisure services, workers led actions, and a resort type pool for once you wish to get away and simply go tenting for the weekend or longer.
- Geocaching – In case you don’t know what geocaching is, effectively, I can’t let you know. It’s like a primary rule of struggle membership factor… What I can let you know is you could geocache actually in every single place. It’s a nice app to have to boost any cease alongside your route with a purpose to get out of the automotive and stretch your legs with some nice household pleasant enjoyable nearly each single place you possibly can consider.
- Fuel Buddy – We used this so much after we have been utilizing the suburban. Its an ideal one to have once you aren’t certain the place the subsequent gasoline station out within the Midwest. There are occasions it might be hours earlier than you go one other one. Together with displaying the closest gasoline you possibly can examine costs and see if its price ready for the second station as a substitute of pulling in to the primary one you see
- Pilot/Flying J – It is a nice on in case you are utilizing an RV. Once you pull in to your first Pilot or Flying J, go inside and join the rewards card. The rewards card can prevent just a few cents a gallon on gas, in addition to get you reductions and combo offers on issues within the retailer. One other wonderful thing about this app, you possibly can see the place the subsequent Flying J alongside your route is. Flying J has an RV Island with the whole lot you want. A dump station, contemporary water fill, gasoline and diesel pumps and a black tank flush. The opposite good factor is you possibly can take a bathe right here. I do know ya could also be pondering “bathe at a truck cease? Are you nuts?” However I can let you know we have been pleasantly shocked by how clear they have been. Now we have actually showered at campgrounds that have been WAY worse.
- MyRadar – That is an app that I take advantage of on a regular basis. It’s a no frills dwell radar feed so you possibly can see how lengthy the rain or snow goes to final and if its price pushing by way of it or discovering a spot to tug off for the evening.
When you have any apps that we must always add to the checklist, or counsel we add to our repertoire then tell us! We love including to our instruments to boost our journeys and stops and would love to listen to from you!
