The Long Haul
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Long Haul is a do-everything, jack-of-all-trades trailer/RV/camping app for BC campers — it won't change your life, but it'll probably remember your wheel bearing service interval better than you do. Track mileage, maintenance schedules, and service history. Plan upcoming trips with reservation details, pre-trip checklists, and live weather forecasts. Explore BC Parks campsites on an interactive map, drop your own custom pins, and log ratings and reviews for every spot you've stayed. Keep your trailer's full specs, notes, and photos all in one place — synced across your devices via iCloud, because losing your data on a logging road is nobody's idea of a good time. Not perfect. But pretty handy.
