Six years ago my wife and I sold our house, packed up our two terriers, and moved into a 2011 Montana Mountaineer fifth wheel we call Little Ricky.
Our first trip ended with a tire blowout. The tire looked completely fine. What we didn’t know was that RV tires age out whether you drive on them or not, and ours had quietly crossed the line. A couple of years later I tore out and replaced the entire subfloor under our bedroom slideout after water got in through a seal I didn’t know needed regular attention. I did the work myself, which I’m proud of. But the whole thing was preventable. Nobody told me slideout seals fail silently, or that by the time you notice a problem the damage is already done.
So I built an app that tells you.
RVKeeper walks you through your specific RV during setup, builds a maintenance plan around what you actually own, and makes sure the small things don’t slip through the cracks. Not a generic checklist. Not a one-size-fits-all reminder system. Something that knows the difference between a 2011 fifth wheel and a Class A diesel pusher and treats them accordingly. And as you replace and modify what your RV came with from the factory, you can add those aftermarket components too, so the plan keeps matching the rig you actually own.
I’m a solo developer. I build apps for real-world niches that the “do everything” platforms overlook or don’t do well. RVKeeper is one of a small handful of apps I’ve released under Openroad Apps LLC, each built around a specific gap I or someone I know actually experienced.
We’re still out here full-timing. Little Ricky is still running. And the app keeps getting better because I still need it every day.
