RV Life Price Increase

[Neal]

I used Allstays Pro prior to RV Trip Wizard. Maybe I need to look at them again as well as RV Parky which I’ve not tried yet.

I only use RVTW for CG finding. Not routing other than the big picture.

Normally a good faith company will email you prior to a price increase to let you know your next bill will be something different than before allowing you the option to continue or cancel. A 62% price increase should not be just drafted from customers as if they are a blank check to whatever a company wants to take from you on a recurring subscription.

Mine renewed in June at $49 as it has since 2021

Yes. I got the same surprise last month.

That suggests you let your subscription lapse somewhere between 2021 and 2024 - if you keep it active it keeps the same price. If that is not the case then an email to their support team is in order.

I used RV Parky on our trip to Alaska and back. Very helpful on finding places to stay. I used the free version.

It was never inactive. The response from RVlife said the following: At the end of that one year subscription, you received a FREE 2 year subscription based on your long time use and helpful posts over at iRV2.com (our sister site). That 2 year account reward has finally ended.

That is another possibility that has occured a few times - glad to see they took care of you when you reported it!

I have never let it lapse. I've had it since it first came out in 2018. It was initially called RV Trip Wizard and I wonder if this free 2 year subscription came about when they changed it to RV Life Trip Wizard. I have contacted them and am waiting for a response. We shall see.

I have also been a member since 2018 and just sent a message asking for details about renewal and any price increases. Let's see what happens.

Below is my correspondence with RV Life, beginning with my inquiry at the bottom.
*********************************************************************
Thank you for your response. However, I am now an unhappy, soon-to-be former customer. In your response, you state that I am locked in at my initial rate of $65/yr. You may want to check your records, as my initial price was $29.25, though that was before you added PRO to your name, which brought me no added benefit. You slipped one by me with the last billing in March, which I am also unhappy about. Trip Wizard has obviously grown, but I’m thinking you may have grown too big for your britches.

You may also want to check on RVForums.com, where many of your former iRV2 customers have moved to, and check the comments regarding your unannounced price increases. I am posting these comments to that site. Oh well, as we all know these days, businesses come and go. I’ll continue to wish you the best as I search for the latest new and improved trip planning site.
