Roadtrippers Premium version, but FYI it's not (yet) compatible with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

Can't beat a paper back trucker atlas, batteries never die. Guaranteed never to be stolen out of the truck.

Get an RV GPS along with an expensive atlas (like GoodSam's or the Truckers Atlas). Something like a Garmin RV890. I doubt you will find any smartphone app that can compete with the Garmin RV GPS for ease of use, different routing aspects, size of RV, etc.

oh - don't be stingy - you spent 10s of thousands on a truck and trailer, a few hundred dollars more shouldn't break the bank (at least not much more than we're be paying for fuel these days).

Garmin RV GPS while driving. RV Life Trip Wizard for planning. The Mountain Directory (downloadable version) for grades and mountain situations.

Mountain directory is a good one for folks going to mountain grade country for the first time to get a little heads up before having a white knuckle situation.
