Have a trip for each year we have been on the road,would like to combine all 3 into one. Any ideas how to do it with out having to enter each stop again? Thanks

I am not aware of a function that will do that. Plus, typically trips start from the same location and end up returning to that same location. One trip might head north and the next one south. How would combining trips even work or be useful?

Not sure I understand. Are these trips in RVTW? Do you want to combine them into RVTW?

If they are in RVTW you could export each trip to Excel and combine them in Excel as a log of all the trips.

As far as I know, there is no way to import trips into RVTW. Seems like that might be a nice function.

I have been thinking about this some, and I guess it might make sense for full timers. They just go from place to place in one long continuous trip. So one trip would start where the last one ended. In that case, being able to combine trips would make sense. I don't believe RVTW was designed around that model though.

We have been on the road 3 years,traveling to all 48 states. I was trying to combine the years to show the route we have take to see them all.

Sorry, I just don't think it is possible to do that other that just putting them in manually.

I'm bumping this post as I have great uses for merging trips. "What if?" and managing long trips. Put the 2 together and it gets really hard!

We are planning a 3 month trip, sooooo many options. On a previous long trip I laid it out in sections, i.e. leg out, around the main area, return a different way. This let me work each portion with variations by making duplicates of just a section. The new trip has more sections and more options as it is longer and more flexible. Being able to merge sections together would make the process far easier.

Then there's the itineraries posted by 3rd parties. I'd love to import someone else's trip and modify it or add it one of mine.

Of course I'd also like to get rid of the little buggy things. I've been involved in software development. I get the tension between features and bugs, but please do more on bugs!

Combining trips is an interesting concept. I use to do it on Garmin's Homeport software. To my knowledge that option is not available on TW.

I've found that one long trip with many stops is just too hard to manage. Changing anything changes the dates on everything and if you have fixed date reservations you SOL. So I favor breaking long trips up into smaller segments, of not more than 10 stops, that start and end where I have fixed dates.
