So I'm sure this has been asked before...and I'd search for the answer if I could come up with an easy way to "describe the search" (i.e., ask the question). But I can't.
SO HERE GOES:
If I wanted to plan a trip from say Portland to Chicago and let RVTripWiz auto-suggest the most logical places to stop for the night using both its built-in intelligence and my preferences, is there a way for it to do that? IOW I'm not concerned with exactly where yet I'd be staying or any of those (RVPark) niceties...I just want it to figure out if I want to drive say 5 hours a day, more-or-less driving straight-thru without site-seeing, here are the most logical places to stop for the night along the way (and ALSO sort of default to the next closest location with some sort of place to spend the night, maybe using the criteria I've entered like Cracker Barrels, Cabella's, State Rest Stops, etc., and not just suggest the "side-of-the-road".

Yes, I know I can do it more or less manually using the concentric rings or the newer intelligent rings, but I want something more than that and having not used RVTW in 8 months I wondered if I'm missing something that's been added or improved? Thanks!

It would have been nice if you could have posted your answer to this thread on the forum as I (and I'm sure others) would like to know the answer to this question...

You asked it here after I answered you. You can post my answer if you want.

Sorry, I don’t follow. You answered me where? I did not initiate this thread. I saw the original post and commented that it would have been nice to post your answer on this thread instead of sending the original poster a DM, as others would undoubtedly be interested in seeing your reply.

That was to the OP who sent in a help desk ticket and posted here a bit later.

As a new RV Trip Wizard subscriber, I have found the service to be confusing and completely non-intuitive. I have the same question as the OP, as do many others, I'd bet.

Yet, instead of sharing the answer with the forum, you chose to be less-than-helpful and somewhat evasive as if, as a subscriber, we don't have the right to know such information.

Maybe I'm all wet on this but here, on this forum, could you answer my question without involving any PMs?

I too would be interested in the answer to the OP.

By using the rings and the filters available campgrounds that meet your criteria can be displayed. It is up to you to select which campground you prefer. The rings can be set for time or distance.

This is not the Help Desk but a user forum so that all can help with answers.

Thanks for pointing out the videos. I hadn’t seen these before and I don’t recall being told about them in the RVTripWizard demo. They should be prominently displayed to new RVTripWizard users.
