Rig Intelligence

Your vehicle profile — the brains behind every calculation.

Set up your rig once and Ready2Roam uses those specs throughout the entire app to make every estimate accurate.

→
Vehicle Type & Dimensions Enter vehicle type (motorhome, tow vehicle + caravan, campervan, etc.), overall length, width, and height.
→
Fuel Economy Enter your rig's consumption in L/100km. Towing reduces economy — enter your realistic towing rate for accurate fuel cost estimates on every leg.
→
Weights (Explorer+) Enter GVM, ATM, GCM, and tow ball weight. The app uses these for rig fit checks and weight warnings.
→
Multiple Vehicles Own more than one rig? Add them all. Switch the active vehicle from your Rig Profile screen at any time.
💡

Pro tip: Not sure of your exact towing consumption? Start with your manufacturer's figure and adjust it over your first few fuel stops using real fill-up data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Yes. Ready2Roam is offline-first. All your data is saved locally on your device. Expenses, trip edits, and plan changes all work without a signal. When you regain connectivity, everything syncs automatically to the cloud. The map itself requires internet to load tiles — but Explorer and Nomad Pro subscribers can pre-download map regions for offline use before heading off-grid.
Tap the Roam tab and you'll see all your trips listed. Tap any trip to view it, or tap the three-dot menu to set it as your active trip. The Dashboard always reflects your currently active trip.
Ready2Roam supports 150+ currencies. Your home currency is set during onboarding and used for all budgets and reports. You can log individual expenses in a different currency (useful when crossing into New Zealand or heading overseas) and the app converts them automatically.
All tiers include automatic cloud sync via your account. Your data is backed up to secure Australian cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud Sydney). If you get a new phone, simply sign in to your account and your data will restore. You can also request an export of your data at any time from Profile → Privacy.
The Journey Health Score (0–100) is calculated from your Trip Plan. It weighs your monthly budget vs your income, your savings runway, and how your planned costs compare to your baseline. A score above 70 means you're in good shape. Below 50 is a warning sign to revisit your budget or income plan before committing to a departure date.
Yes. Subscriptions are managed through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). You can cancel at any time and you'll retain access until the end of your current billing period. Your data is never deleted when you downgrade — it simply becomes read-only if it exceeds the Free tier limits.
