Straight answers about what TrailSync does, what it costs, and where its data comes from.
What is TrailSync?
TrailSync is an expedition-travel planner built around your rig. Give it a start, a destination and dates, and it returns a day-by-day itinerary — camps, fuel, water, trails and weather — filtered by your vehicle's length, weight and clearance. It also shows live battery, solar and tank data if your rig is connected.
Is it free?
Planning is free forever, with up to 2 saved trips. Pro is $11.99/month or $99/year and includes a 7-day trial: unlimited saved trips, live rig telemetry and the AI trip concierge. See Pricing for the full comparison.
Where does the campsite data come from?
Federal and provincial open data — US Forest Service, BLM, Recreation.gov and Recreation Sites & Trails BC — plus sites added by the community. Community sites stay marked unverified until other travelers confirm them. Treat every listing as a starting point and verify current conditions, fees and legality with the land manager before you go.
How does the wildfire safety check work?
TrailSync scans live incident data from NIFC for fires within a 50-mile corridor of every planned route, and shows air quality and smoke conditions on the Weather page. This is decision support, not an official source. Always verify closures, evacuation orders and fire restrictions with the responsible agency.
What does live rig data require?
A Victron system, connected either through an RREV Hub on the vehicle or through your Victron VRM cloud account with an API token. Once linked, you get battery, solar, tank and inverter readings, 24-hour trend charts and a 5-day solar forecast tuned to your actual array. Live data is a Pro feature.
Does it work offline?
Yes, within limits. TrailSync installs as an app (PWA), and saved trips stay readable at camp with no signal. Anything live — new route generation, weather refreshes, fire incidents, telemetry — needs a connection. Save the trip before you lose bars.
Is there an Android app?
Yes — TrailSync is in open testing on Google Play. You can also install the web app directly from the browser if you'd rather skip the store.
What about iPhone?
Open mytrailsync.com in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. It runs full screen like a native app, with offline access to saved trips.
How does billing and cancellation work?
Payments run through Stripe. Cancel anytime from your account — Pro stays active through the end of the period you already paid for, then reverts to the free plan. Monthly plans are not prorated on cancellation.
What happens to my trips if I downgrade?
Nothing is deleted. Your trips stay in your account; on the free plan you can keep 2 of them active for editing. Resubscribe and everything is available again.
What do you do with my location and data?
Location is used to show weather and search near you, and stays on your device unless you deliberately save a place or add a campsite. We don't sell your data. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
How accurate are the fuel and water estimates?
They come from the tank size, MPG and margins you enter in your rig profile, applied to the actual route distance. That makes them far better than a generic assumption, but terrain, load, weather and driving style all move the real number. Carry reserve.
How do I report a bad campsite listing?
Open the site and use the report or downvote control. Reports and votes feed directly into ranking, so a site that no longer exists — or was never legal to camp at — drops out of planning results for everyone.
How do I contribute a site?
Tap the map where you camped, name it, set access difficulty and add a photo. It takes under a minute. Confirmations from other travelers push good sites higher in everyone's route planning.
