I ask that you submit your request at least 72 hours prior to your scheduled departure. That gives time to consider any recommendations that may impact the beginning of your trip.

Mother Nature does not always cooperate when we want to take our RV from ‘Point A’ to ‘Point B’. With some planning, knowlege, patience and flexibility though, we can still get to our destination and do it safely. The graphic above shows both some of the recent routes I’ve routed fellow RV’ers on this past winter, along with some of the weather we all encountered.

Based on the U.S. Navy’s ‘Optimum Track Ship Routing‘ concepts, we can combine the use of time, distance, a detailed knowledge of the future weather, towing or driving abilities, and likely road and RV characteristics, all leavened with real-word RV experience, to devise a plan that both keeps you safe and gets you to your destination, albeit occasionally on a slightly modified route or schedule.

Currently, I am able to provide Routing for the Lower 48 states.

Required Inputs

• Starting point
• Destination
• Any waypoints to visit and desired dates
• Starting date
• Desired arrival date
• Type of rig you are driving and/or towing
• Preferred method of communication

How it Works (the short version):

• Submit your Route Request using this link at least three days in advance of your trip, if possible.
• I will let you know if I have capacity to support the route. I will invoice you shortly before the start of your trip. I request payment before the start of the journey.
• Three days prior to your departure, I will send you a Preliminary Route Forecast, including any initial route or timing recommendations.
• Starting the evening prior to your trip, I will send you a forecast for the trip and any recommendations. This forecast and communication is updated every day.
• Please keep me apprised of any deviations from or changes to our agreed-upon route so I can provide you with the most relevant recommendations and advice.

How it Works (the details):

Once I have your inputs, I will send you an acknowledgement that I received your request. You are ‘in the cue’! After Monday 6 November, this link will take you to the Page where you can pay for the service, then give me the information stated above.

Three days prior to your departure, I will give you a ‘Preliminary Route Forecast (PRF). Sometimes I will do a PRF earlier or later, but I’ve found three days is a good balance between forecast accuracy and being useful to shape plans in advance. This is also a good time to confirm the route, the first few planned stops, and our method of communication.

Once we agree upon a route, I will send you a quick short-term update the night before your departure. I ask that when you stop for the evening, you let me know where you are, and where you hope to get to by the next day. I’ll give you an update either that evening or early morning. If the forecast changes (sometimes that happens!), I’ll make sure you know and we’ll figure out “Plan ‘B'” … or sometimes “Plan ‘C'”.

I try and tailor the support to individual needs. Everyone is a bit different. Not only different rigs, but different styles of travel, different daily mileages, and different appetites for risk. Some RV’ers are looking for detailed an continuous support, while others just would like a one-time overview and check of their route. Different styles for different folks. I will work with you on how best to support these different needs.

I’ve found communication is best with text or email. I prefer text as it’s usually more immediate, but support both methods.

How Much does this Service Cost?

Route Duration	Pricing

4-7 Days	$49.99
8-15 Days	$79.99
16-30 Days	$109.99
31-45 Days	$139.99
46-60 Days	$179.99
61-90 Days	$229.99
91-120 Days	$279.99

I will require full payment prior to the start of the trip and issuing my Preliminary Route Forecast.

The route counts the number of days you are on the road. For example if you depart on the 15th and arrive on the 18th, that is a 4-day route. I do not count weather delays, medical emergencies, mechanical breakdowns, etc. that may lengthen your trip. So if you were scheduled for a 3-day trip, but snow or winds delayed you two extra days, I still only charge you for a 3-day trip.

I am capacity-limited, so if you know you want this service and you know the dates you are traveling, get your request in sooner rather than later.
