Resource starter packs

Copy-ready calculator blocks for better resource pages.

These starter packs combine a prefilled calculator link, supporting resources, and attribution text. They are built for RV clubs, newsletters, podcasts, forum answers, and editors who want a useful link block without rewriting the context from scratch.

How to use them

Give readers a starting lane, not a universal answer.

Each pack names its audience and best placement so the block fits naturally into a page. The prefilled calculator values should be treated as an example, then adjusted by the reader for their rig, climate, route, and comfort habits.

Copy-ready blocks

Pick the block that matches the page you are improving.

Markdown is usually best for newsletters, docs, and GitHub-style resource pages. HTML is useful for site owners who want a quick sidebar or resource box.

Developer resource

RV Calculator API Resource Block

OffGridRVHub publishes read-only calculator endpoints and structured resource metadata so other sites can cite or import planning tools without scraping pages.

Best audience
Developer notes, data/resource pages, internal club tools, AI answer references, and editorial teams that want machine-readable calculator metadata.
Best placement
Place this on resource pages where a static link is useful but a JSON endpoint or data export is more reusable.

Primary link

Open the RV calculator JSON API documentation

Read-only endpoints for solar, solar payback, roof fit, solar tilt and shade, solar string sizing, battery, lithium upgrade value, recharge, DC-DC charger sizing, generator size, generator runtime, propane runtime, furnace battery drain, AC runtime, fridge solar, inverter size, wire size, payload, tire load, campsite score, internet data usage, boondocking cost, water, and stay-length estimates with assumptions links included in each response.

Need a narrower version?

Use the link builder when the starter pack is close but not exact.

Starter packs are intentionally conservative. If you need a different crew size, watt-hour load, tank size, or stay target, build a custom prefilled URL and pair it with the same attribution posture.
