Accessing the New Trip Drawer

The Trip Drawer is the main workspace for managing your trip in RV LIFE Trip Wizard. From the Trip Drawer, you can access your trips and Trip Tools, manage your Trip Itinerary, add and reorder stops, view travel details, and make changes to your trip.

Accessing Your Trips

When first logging into your RV LIFE Trip Wizard, you'll be prompted to choose the Trip you want to work in. You can always go back to your Trip list by selecting Trips at the top of the Trip Drawer to open Your Trips, where you can create a new trip and view your existing trips. 

Your trips are organized into three tabs: Active, Tentative, and Archived. Click a tab to view the trips in that category.

• Active – Trips you are actively taking.
• Tentative – Trips you are planning.
• Archived – Trips you have archived and no longer need displayed with your current trips.

To learn more about creating a trip, see Create a New Trip.

Check the Archiving a Trip article to learn more about managing your trips.

Managing Your Trip

Changing the Trip Start Date

To change the start date for your trip:

• Click Start Date at the top of the Trip Itinerary.

• This opens up a calendar where you can select the new start date.

• RV LIFE Trip Wizard will update the dates in your Trip Itinerary based on the new start date.

   

Choosing Which Stops to Display

The Trip Itinerary view filter lets you choose between All Stops and Overnights Only.

All Stops displays both your overnight destinations and Travel Day Stops.

Overnights Only provides a simplified view by displaying only your overnight destinations. This can make longer trips easier to review without displaying every fuel stop, rest stop, or other Travel Day Stop.

Even in Overnights Only view, you can see which travel days include Travel Day Stops. The bubble between overnight stops displays the distance and estimated travel time for that portion of your trip. If Travel Day Stops have been added, it also displays the number of stops, such as 1 Stop or 2 Stops.

Adding Stops

To add a new stop after adding the starting location, click on either the Add Stop button or the + (plus) icon on the trip drawer.

You can also add a new stop from the map. 

• Click the campground or point of interest icon.
• Click Add to Trip.

Refer to Planning Your Trip to learn about adding stops in detail.

Reordering Stops

You can change the order of your stops directly in the Trip Drawer.

To move a stop, click and hold the drag handle to the left of the stop. This is the small column of dots beside the stop icon. Drag the stop up or down to the desired position, then release it.

Note: Your starting location cannot be reordered in the Trip Itinerary. If you need to change where your trip begins, click the starting location and select Replace.

Centering a Stop on the Map

To center a stop on the map:

• Hover your mouse over the stop name.
• Click on the target icon which appears to the left of the stop name.

Click an overnight stop in your Trip Itinerary to view detailed information about that stop and the travel to the next stop.

The stop details are divided into three sections:

• Arrival Day Travel
