How do I reverse a trip?

  • Updated

Coming home is part of the adventure too.

You’ve planned the perfect trip: scenic stops, great campgrounds, maybe a roadside diner or two. Now you need to get home. You don’t have to plan the drive back one stop at a time. RV LIFE Trip Wizard can do it for you with the Round Trip Option.

Heads up: Round Trip Options only appears after you’ve added at least one stop after your starting location.

How to Get There

  1. Scroll to the bottom of your stops list in the Trip Planner and click “Round Trip Options.”

  3. Click “Update Trip” to add your return route to the trip.

Your Options:

1. Mirror Stops back to Start Point
Retraces your trip in reverse, but only includes your overnight stops, the places where you’re staying the night.

2. Mirror Stops back to Start Point + Include Travel Day Stops
Select the Include Travel Day Stops box to bring back everything. That adds your daytime stops too, like points of interest, diners, and quick breaks along the way.

3. Direct Route Back to Start Point
Skips the stops and gives you one uninterrupted route straight home.
