Before building the route
Include rooftop equipment, antennas in travel position, mirrors, slide-outs retracted, tow vehicle and anything mounted at the rear.
Use the vehicle’s actual travel weight when known and never exceed manufacturer or legal ratings.
Published clearances can change with resurfacing, snow, construction, sag, lane position or measurement methods.
Mark unpaved-road and difficult-turn avoidance according to your rig and driving ability.
Review every planned route
- Inspect the full route line, not just the distance and travel time.
- Read every mapped warning and any notice whose location could not be placed precisely.
- Treat a standard alternate route as not RV-safety verified.
- Check current state, provincial, local, park and bridge authority information before departure.
- Recheck the saved trip shortly before leaving because closures, weather and restrictions change.
Understand what the colors mean
- Green campground: the entered RV length fits a published hard maximum known to the database.
- Blue campground: published or site-specific length evidence exists, but it is not necessarily a hard maximum.
- Orange or purple: conditions or missing evidence require direct confirmation.
- Red: a known conflict exists for the entered RV or selected criteria.
No color confirms campsite availability, reservation, entrance-road condition, turning room, tree clearance or every site’s dimensions.
Hazards, weather and borders
Hazard databases can omit restrictions or report them late. Weather forecasts and crossing status are snapshots. Border officers and road authorities make final decisions. Review official links, operating hours, documents, declarations, permits and restrictions directly before travel.
Fuel and overnight planning
Fuel checkpoints are calculated search areas—not verified fuel stops. Allow for wind, grades, towing, generator use, traffic and detours. Selecting a campground only adds it to the trip plan; it does not book a site. Confirm the campground directly.
While traveling
- Do not read, enter information or change routes while driving.
- Use a passenger or stop in a safe, legal location.
- Live Trip Tracking supplements—not replaces—attention, road signs and a dedicated navigation system.
- Never continue toward a suspected low clearance, weight restriction, closure or unsafe turn to “see if it fits.”
- For an emergency, call the appropriate emergency service; this app does not provide emergency response.
Report a problem
If a route warning, campground fact or location appears wrong, stop relying on that result and send the details to support@campgroundcompatibility.com. Include the route, direction, displayed message and an official source or photo when safely available.
