## What is RigSense?

How many days can you stay? RigSense counts down water, power, propane, waste, and your legal stay limit together, and tells you which one sends you home first.

Public land, national parks, or backcountry overlanding. Same question every time.

KNOW HOW LONG YOU CAN STAY
The estimate starts from your rig profile and how you say you camp, then corrects itself against what you actually use as sensor data comes in. Nothing has to be exact on day one.

CONNECT YOUR HARDWARE
Pair Bluetooth sensors straight from your phone. Mopeka propane and water sensors, SeeLevel and LevelMate tank monitors, TireMinder and generic TPMS, Ruuvi environmental tags, EasyTouch thermostats, Power Watchdog, and Epoch and SOK battery systems all feed live data to your dashboard. Victron reads locally over Bluetooth or through VRM in the cloud, so it keeps working where there is no signal. Peplink adds connectivity monitoring. Starlink viability is scored for any coordinate so you can pick spots with sky access in advance.

DISCOVER AND EVALUATE CAMPSITES
BLM, USFS, NPS, State, and Corps of Engineers boundaries sit on the map, so you can tell a legal spot from a driveway before you drive out to it. RIDB campgrounds are checked site by site against your rig's dimensions. Tap a spot for fire restrictions, dark sky quality, weather, bug pressure, and cell signal.

WHAT'S IN SEASON
Seasonal Spotlight shows what's worth seeing near you: fall foliage, superbloom, wildflowers, aspen, meteor showers, aurora, and salmon runs, each with its peak-timing window.

PLAN YOUR ROUTE
RV-safe routing checks bridge clearances, road grades, and your rig's dimensions before you commit to a road. The fuel planner accounts for towing-adjusted economy and how far apart the stations are. Offline maps keep working when the signal doesn't.

SOLAR COMPASS AND DARK SKY
Four solar compass modes, compass, path, harvest window, and AR overlay, help you position panels and plan shade. Dark Sky Tonight rates your night sky by Bortle class, factoring moon phase, cloud cover, and conditions, with Milky Way visibility windows and celestial event alerts. Golden Hour forecasts sunset and sunrise color, offline.

ROLL WITH FRIENDS
Coordinate stays and travel days through the planning portal at plan.getrigsense.com. Once an event is set, everyone sees the same map, and you can flag a delay before it cascades down the line. Convoys dissolve when you arrive. No accounts, no lingering groups.

KEEP PETS SAFE
Breed-aware temperature models track interior heat rise and cold drop for each pet, and brachycephalic breeds get earlier warnings. In a multi-pet household the alerts follow whichever animal is most vulnerable.

TRACK YOUR JOURNEY
GPS traces capture approach roads for the community. Stay history logs every campsite with cumulative stats, and maintenance intervals track by miles, hours, and dates.

FREE AND CONNECTED TIERS
Core features are free with no account required: solar compass, tire pressure calculator, generator derating, manual resource tracking, public land overlays, weather alerts, and up to 10 saved spots. RigSense Connected unlocks live hardware integration, unlimited saves, community data, campground availability alerts, group coordination, and offline maps.

Built in Texas by an RVer who got tired of guessing.

RigSense was last updated on June 28, 2026, with version 1.0.2. This indicates a recent update, suggesting ongoing development and support for the application.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.10 — 2026-08-27

Public land stays on the map
Zoom in to pick a site and the BLM, Forest Service and park
boundaries no longer vanish right when you need them.

Weather and fire keep up
Search a new area and the alerts and perimeters follow. A
warning that has expired clears itself instead of sitting on
the map all night.

Steadier, and lighter on power
Odd sensor and forecast values no longer close the app, your
saved spots and stays are safer if it stumbles at startup, and
there is less background chatter while you are parked.

### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-18

How long you could stay
Location Insight shows the days you could stay at a spot and what runs out first. Add your daily driving miles and fuel joins the estimate.

Screens that say when they do not know
The fire card no longer reads as no restrictions where it has no coverage. The fire map legend says when it is still checking. Layers that fail to load retry
on their own.

Sensors
Epoch and other JBD batteries now report state of charge and cell voltages. Ruuvi fridge, freezer and water bay alerts fire. A solar charge controller is no
longer treated as a house battery. 22 more refrigerators.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-07

• Push alerts only registered on phones that had camped at a saved spot. Every phone registers now, so severe weather, flood, pet safety and tire alerts can reach you
• A tank set to 100% drew empty until you nudged the gauge. It reads what you entered
• Days remaining accounts for wind, rain and each day's own forecast, not just today's temperature
• Trucks and SUVs are in the vehicle picker, and a 4Runner no longer saves as diesel

Community spots now appear on the map, and you can edit a spot after saving it.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-30

Alerts now reach you when the app is closed. Tire sensors, air quality,
and connected Victron or Renogy gear can notify you, once per condition
rather than on repeat.

Tap any resource gauge to see its history over 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.

Trip journal: write a note at departure, read it back in Stay History.

Tire pressure alerts now use your rig's cold spec. Save it in the tire
pressure tool to switch them on.

Also: pack-up checklists keep their marks, widget tank readings match the
app, four map layers gained legends, and Ask RigSense says why an answer
failed.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-07-24

Ask RigSense is a new assistant that runs on your iPhone. Ask about your tanks, the weather, or the spot you're viewing and it answers from your own readings. Nothing leaves the phone. Requires an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone.

Storm warnings now draw on the map, color-coded by hazard. Tap one to read what the Weather Service says to do.

The dashboard is yours to arrange. Pick your cards and drag them into the order you want. Energy shows live flow and trends, and history survives a relaunch.

Epoch batteries now report the correct state of charge and temperature, EasyTouch readings reach the dashboard, and LP/120V absorption fridges are supported.

Support tickets show a status timeline and our reply.

Map layers draw without a pan, fire and flood overlays keep loading while you move around, and rig dimensions reject bad values.
