For your roadtrips - I built a trip planner specifically for motorhome trips because nothing handled dogs, daily km limits, and multi-stop routes properly

Found this sub-reddit and decided to share what I've been working on over the last few months.

roamary.app might be useful for anyone planning their roadtrips with their campervans and their motorhome.

As a web-app you can do the heavy planning at home on a big screen with way too many tabs open, and then just pull up the same trip on your phone once you're actually on the road.

Background: I travel a few times a year with my family, our dogs, and a motorhome, mostly in Austria and neighboring countries. Every time we planned a trip, it was the same mess: tabs full of campsite reviews, POI lists in Google Maps that didn't survive the actual trip, and zero tools that understood that a motorhome trip isn't "fly somewhere, book a hotel." It's stations, driving distances you actually want to limit, places that allow dogs, and a structure that holds up across multiple stops.

So I built Roamary.
The whole point of the app is that it collects your POIs, and structures them into a trip.

Whether you plan yourself, get in a recommendation from a fellow traveler or want to get the help of AI - this is up to you. You can "mix-and-match", and of course you can freely edit everything.

You can also build your trip interactively in your favorite ChatBot, and have it export it in my public import scheme. What used to be a wall of text you'd have to manually rewrite every time a stop changed becomes a trip where you can just add, remove, or reorder stops directly.

Happy to answer anything, how it works, what's still rough, why I made certain decisions. Also genuinely curious if others here plan motorhome/campervan trips and what's missing for you.
