Harvest Hosts + RV Life Partnership

One of the powerful upgrades in recent years is the Harvest Hosts integration.

Why It Matters

Even with modern rigs, waste management is real - and this app saves the headache of hunting down stations after a long day.

18. Overnight RV Parking (Web)

A great companion for quick parking when campgrounds aren't your goal.

Waze is the people's navigation app - and its real‑time, crowd‑driven updates make it a favorite among savvy RVers.

What It Offers:

• Traffic alerts

• Construction zones

What to Watch:

Waze doesn't have RV‑specific routing, so combine it with RV-aware routing apps (like RV LIFE Trip Wizard or Google Maps with RV route settings).

Best For: Traffic insights + live alerts.

20. Open Roads (iOS / Android)

Open Roads isn't a campground finder - instead, it's one of the best fuel‑focused apps for RVers, especially diesel rigs.

What It Does

• Shows participating stations offering discounted diesel prices nationwide.
• Works with an Open Roads fuel discount card that you swipe at the pump to get savings on diesel at major truck stops like Love's, TravelCenters of America, and Petro.
• Lets you view recent transactions and nearby discount locations from within the app.

Why RVers Like It

For rigs with large diesel tanks, fuel is one of the biggest ongoing costs of life on the road. Open Roads regularly offers savings of ~30-50¢ per gallon compared with standard prices - and being able to use the truck‑lane pumps makes fueling easier for larger RVs.

New: Harvest Hosts Members can now find Open Roads diesel discounts directly in the Harvest Hosts map.

Best For: Diesel RV owners looking to save money and time at the pump - especially on long highway stretches.
