RVR: Tools

Tools

The RV Repository Tools page is your growing hub of practical, RV-specific utilities designed to make travel, restoration, and everyday use of your recreational vehicle easier. Whether you’re a full-time traveler, a weekend adventurer, or a dedicated restorer of vintage rigs, our tools are built with your lifestyle in mind.

At the core of this page is our Dump Station Finder — a streamlined utility that helps you locate the nearest RV dump stations based on your location, route, or destination. It’s fast, mobile-friendly, and focused on giving you essential information like station type, access restrictions, fees, and user-submitted notes. Whether you’re planning ahead or in a pinch on the road, this tool ensures you’re never far from the services you need to keep rolling.

But the Tools page isn’t just about waste management — it’s the beginning of something bigger. RV living and renovation come with a wide variety of unique challenges, and we’re building solutions to match.

In future updates, this section will expand with tools geared toward vintage RV restoration, parts sourcing, and systems troubleshooting. We know that finding accurate information about older vehicles can be time-consuming and frustrating. Our upcoming tools aim to bridge that gap — from VIN decoders for identifying old chassis and engines, to cross-reference tools that help you match obsolete part numbers with modern equivalents.

We’re also planning community-powered features like wiring diagram overlays, material calculators, insulation estimators, and plumbing layout guides — tools that combine technical expertise with hands-on practicality. These utilities will be especially valuable to DIYers tackling interior rebuilds, solar conversions, or custom upgrades.

Beyond renovation, we’re exploring digital tools for trip planning, weight and load balancing, and even interior layout sketching. Whether you’re building out a shell or simply organizing a more efficient storage system, our goal is to give you interactive, easy-to-use solutions that support every part of your RV journey.

Each tool added to this page will follow the same principle: it should solve a real-world RV problem, save time, and require no technical learning curve. We design for simplicity, clarity, and relevance to actual RVers — not generic travel apps or one-size-fits-all guides.

We also welcome feedback and ideas from the community. If you’ve built your own spreadsheet, chart, or calculator that you think others would benefit from, we’d love to include it here (with full credit, of course). Our Contribute page includes a submission form where you can share tools, resources, or suggestions.

This is just the beginning. The RV lifestyle continues to evolve — and so will this page. Whether you’re fixing up a 1970s Winnebago, living full-time in a custom skoolie, or just planning your next trip to the woods, the RV Repository Tools page is here to help make your journey smoother, smarter, and more informed.
