What our customers think of us
★★★★★
We are full-time nomads and depend RV Weather to help us plan our next moves, and get ready for our stays. We check it every day. We’ve also taken Dave’s recommendations for building redundancy in our notification systems. His news letter, a working NOAA weather radio, and most recently adding HazardCall, the GPS based notification system that sends alerts specifically to where we are traveling. Thank you!

I am an older, solo traveler. I pull a 34′ travel trailer. The roads, winds, or weather get scary sometimes. Dave was outstanding! It felt so good to know someone was traveling with me in regards to the weather. I can only see so far ahead. But Dave understands the weather so much better. He gave me great advice and great information. I felt so much safer traveling knowing that he could forecast what type of wind and whether I was going to hit. Thank you so much Dave!

We use this weather report daily, not only to plan our travel and long-term route planning but also our daily activities. Knowing daily and long-term forecasts has kept us out of trouble — weatherwise, anyway — on our travels throughout Canada and the US for a year, now.

Co-founder and Managing Director of RV Weather Enterprises. I’m a retired US Navy Meteorologist with nearly 50 years of weather forecasting experience and 40,000 miles of experience living in and towing our Airstream. Along with my partners at Metron, our goal is to provide you with “intelligent guidance”: intuitive, accessible, accurate, and affordable trip planning decision aids that give you the knowledge to make better travel decisions faster.

How is SureRoute different from weather apps?
SureRoute first translates basic weather data from seven different types of weather into information about the impacts to driving conditions, tailored for RVers. SureRoute then takes that information along your travel preferences, and calculate a safer, and more enjoyable trip route. We make it easy to see where it is safe to drive, and where it is more risky.
How is SureRoute different from my GPS?
SureRoute is a planning tool, not a tracker in your vehicle. Our road database has been scrubbed to delete roads inappropriate for RVs and takes into account your vehicle size and weight restrictions when calculating a suggested route. Your GPS is best to provide turn by turn directions.
What do you mean by weather impact?
We use the term “weather impact” to describe the effect that weather conditions can have on driving performance, handling, and safety of high profile and towed RVs. Seven types of weather are considered when calculating the level of impact to driving conditions.
What weather model is used?
We use the US National Weather Service National Blend of Models, a blend of up to 171 national and international weather models is used in our forecast. Think of this as the ‘index investing’ approach to weather forecast vs. ‘stock picking’, or hoping you select the correct weather model in advance.
How do I use SureRoute?
Use SureRoute as a planning tool to find a route that avoids unsafe driving conditions. It takes into consideration your trip preferences such as driving speed, destination, and preferred weather impact level to drive in, and SureRoute will suggest a route for you, including overnight stops and possible weather delays. Already have your trip stops planned? Use SureRoute to alert you to possible weather impacts on your trip days before they become a problem.
What features will be added in the future?
We are working on adding providing multiple route options balancing time with impacts from weather; you can easily decide what trip route is best for you. We are also working on letting SureRoute advise you of upcoming weather impacts to a trip you have already planned out in advance, using AdventureGenie or another trip planner on the market.
Do I have to pay for a whole year?
Both monthly and annual subscriptions are available. You can pause your monthly subscription while you are not traveling, and only pay for the months you are on the road.
Can I use RV Weather in Canada?
You can use our driving weather impacts (WILMA) product that shows impacts out to 8 days in the future for much of southern Canada, at and below the latitude of Edmonton. Later in 2025, we intend to extend SureRoute into southern Canada.
Can I use RV Weather in Alaska?
Currently we do not cover Alaska.
Is there anything free?
Yes! A daily travel forecast highlighting weather that will impact driving calls out the roadways most affected is available on the web site, or sign up to have it emailed to you every morning. We also have a curated collection of the most helpful weather graphics from around the internet, making RV Weather the one place to easily find information on winds, hail, hurricanes, as well as weather Watches, Warning, and Advisories.
