Trip planner

Build the trip plan around the likely limiter.

Answer the questions that actually change an off-grid RV stay: rig, people, nights, hookups, climate, work needs, biggest concern, existing equipment, and budget. The planner turns that into one first constraint and the next useful resources.

Guided inputs

Answer the trip variables that usually change the plan.

01 · RigWhat rig do you have?

Pick the closest rig type so the plan accounts for tank size, payload, roof space, and storage.

02 · CrewHow many people?

Crew size changes water, waste, daily loads, storage, and how quickly small annoyances become trip-ending.

03 · StayHow many nights?

Trip length determines whether the answer is a simple checklist or a real reserve/recharge plan.

04 · SiteHookups or no hookups?

Hookups change which system has to carry the trip by itself.

05 · WeatherClimate?

Heat, freezing nights, wind, and shoulder-season clouds change both comfort and system sizing.

06 · WorkWork/internet needs?

A trip with mandatory work calls needs a different backup stack than a casual browsing weekend.

07 · ConcernBiggest concern?

This tells the planner which risk should break ties when several systems look close.

08 · EquipmentExisting equipment?

Choose the closest current setup. The plan should respect what is already installed before adding more.

09 · BudgetBudget?

Budget changes whether the right first move is math, habits, a worksheet, or a staged upgrade path.

How to use this

Use Start Here for a quick door. Use the trip planner when the stay is real.

The three-question Start Here sorter is still the fastest way to pick a first article. This planner is deeper: it weighs trip length, crew size, weather, work needs, equipment, and budget so the result looks more like an actual pre-trip planning brief.
