There are many awesome resources out there to help make your journey a little bit easier. Between finding cheap gas or the perfect place to camp these are some of our tried tested and true apps and websites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gas Buddy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gas Buddy is our favorite and most used app and resource. It gives you information on fuel prices, gas station locations as well as what fuel types are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All data is user input so if you are in a small town or less populated area the price information may not be available. But it does tell you when the price was last updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another cool feature is the Pay with GasBuddy option. You can get a free account and save 5 cents a gallon or pay a monthly membership fee and save up to 20 cents per gallon! You just need to sign up and link your bank account and they will mail you a card to use at 95% of stations in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They even have a roadside assistance program though we haven’t used it so I’m not sure if it would extend to RVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check them out at https:\/\/www.gasbuddy.com\/<\/a> or download their app. (not an affiliate link just an app we always use when we need gas)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harvest Hosts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Harvest Hosts is a new venture which for a yearly membership lets you stay overnight for free with one of their partner wineries, breweries, farms, museums, golf courses, and other venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use our referral link and save 15% off your membership! Just click here to find out more about Harvest Hosts!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea is you call ahead and let the host know you will be coming, arrive during business hours so you can patron the business as a thank you for letting you stay then you get to stay overnight for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only catch is you must be self-contained. Meaning you need to have an indoor bathroom and kitchen as well as recapture all your black and greywater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who wouldn’t love buying some delicious wine and enjoying it overlooking the winery grounds! They even have a handy app! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freecampsites.net<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We used https:\/\/freecampsites.net<\/a> a lot on our cross-country trek. It’s not the most mobile-friendly website but there are many free places to stay that have been user added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s nice is it includes user reviews of campsites so you can find out what other people thought of the site and what sort of equipment they were using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also doesn’t include too many Walmart type sites since there are many other resources out there that lists the Walmarts that allow overnights. It also includes some sites that have a fee but it’s usually low cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campendium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ve been using Campendium <\/a>more and more lately. They have a nice app and include tons of different sites, from RV parks to free\/dispersed sites. Campendium is easy to use and has lots of information on facilities including cell service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also has user reviews so it makes it easier to get a feel for what people thought of a spot. It also lists nearby dumpsites so you can empty your tanks easily if you are on the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
