Tap to open the fuel price sheet, update your baseline price, and check freshness. If your saved price is older than 14 days, a gentle amber warning nudges you to refresh.
🧭
Nearby Discovery Cards The Roam tab shows a horizontal scroll of nearby POIs based on your current GPS location. Cards update as you travel — showing a diverse mix of camps, fuel, water, toilets, and more (max 2 per category). Tap any card to jump to it on the map.

Safety warnings like “Clothing Optional” appear prominently at the top.
🌏
Region-Aware Categories POI categories adapt to where you are. Australia shows Public Toilet Map markers. The US shows Truck Stops and National Park campgrounds.

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 (or the equivalent in your locale). Towing reduces economy — enter your realistic towing rate for accurate fuel cost estimates on every leg.
→
Weights (Nomad Pro) Enter GVM, ATM, GCM, and tow ball weight. The app uses these for rig fit checks and weight warnings.
→
NZ Self-Containment If your vehicle is certified self-contained for New Zealand travel, toggle the self-containment flag so the app can surface relevant freedom camping sites.
→
Multiple Vehicles Own more than one rig? Add them all. Switch the active vehicle from your Rig Profile screen at any time.
→
Vehicle Spec Auto-Fill Start typing your make and model and Ready2Roam searches a database of 200+ popular caravans, motorhomes, and tow vehicles. Tap “Apply” to fill make, model, variant (e.g. Sport, Platinum), length, width, height, tare, ATM, GVM, and fuel economy in one go.
→
Share Your Specs Don’t see your rig in the database? After saving your vehicle with 4 or more spec fields filled, a “Share Your Specs” button appears. Tap it to submit your make, model, variant, and dimensions to the community database so other travellers can find and auto-fill their profiles. Free for all users. Track your submissions in My Library > My Contributions.
→
Driving Preferences Profile > Driving & Fuel opens a dedicated screen for your driving defaults: daily distance limit (100–800 km), maximum driving hours per day, rest day frequency, preferred road type (highway, scenic, shortest, avoid tolls), and your current fuel price with a freshness indicator. Tap “Check current prices” for live regional lookup. If your saved price is older than 14 days, an amber badge reminds you to refresh. All settings persist across sessions, sync between devices, and are used as defaults for new trips.
💡

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.

🔧

Maintenance Reminders

Never miss a registration or insurance renewal.

📅
Expiry Tracking Set expiry dates for vehicle registration, insurance, and roadside assist. The app warns you when renewals are approaching — Due Soon (amber) or Overdue (red) badges appear on your vehicle cards and dashboard.

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 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. Quick-switch chips at the top of the expense screen let you toggle between your home currency and common companions in a single tap.
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.
Absolutely. The app detects your region automatically and adapts terminology (e.g. "Holiday Park" instead of "Caravan Park"). New Zealand freedom camping sites are included, and you can flag your vehicle as self-contained so the app surfaces the right sites. Currency support for NZD is built in with quick-switch convenience.
Ready2Roam is built global-first. The map layer uses OpenStreetMap data which covers every country, so campsite and POI markers appear wherever OSM contributors have mapped them. The financial engine supports 150+ currencies with automatic conversion. Units adapt to your locale (metric or imperial). Over 110 preset routes span Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, and Europe — with more regions being added regularly. Whether you're crossing the Nullarbor, driving Route 66, touring the Scottish Highlands, or circling Iceland, the app works the same way.
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.
Open your trip, then tap Share Route. You’ll see a list of supported nav apps. Tap your preferred app and the full route (all waypoints) opens directly.

Yes. Nomad Pro subscribers can generate a branded PDF instruction sheet — either a full road book (with booking codes, directions, and stop details) or a one-page summary. Open your trip, tap Export Trip, and choose your format. Print it or save it to your device. Great for having a backup on the dash when your phone is charging.
Go to Profile → Export Data. Nomad Pro subscribers can export trips and expenses as CSV, branded XLSX spreadsheets, and PDF reports, with three detail levels for expenses: Category Summary, By Trip, or All Expenses. All exports include Ready2Roam branding and are formatted for easy reading in Excel or Google Sheets.
POIs on the map show wheelchair accessibility badges (full, limited, or none) where OpenStreetMap data is available. You can filter the map to show only accessible sites. POI detail sheets also display wheelchair-accessible toilets and disabled parking spaces when that info exists. You can record accessibility details on your trip stops too — useful for sharing info with travelling companions who need it.
