HitchReady is the purpose-built checklist app for RV travelers. Rig-aware, offline-first, and designed to prevent the mistakes that cost thousands of dollars.
Apple Reminders doesn't know what a slideout is. It doesn't know you have a gooseneck hitch, a residential fridge, or two dogs in the cab. We do.
Driving away with a retractable TV antenna up is the single most common expensive mistake in RV life. One distracted departure and it's gone — or worse, it takes part of the roof with it.
$300–$1,200 repairPulling a 50-amp cord out from under the rig's wheels. Leaving a sewer hose connected. Moving with the steps extended. These aren't beginner mistakes — they happen to experienced RVers too.
$200–$3,000 repairA 5th wheel kingpin not fully seated. A gooseneck coupler latch not locked. A breakaway cable not clipped. These aren't checklists items — they're life-safety items. And stress makes you skip them.
Catastrophic riskEvery feature was designed by full-time RVers who have made these mistakes — and built the app they wished they'd had.
Tell HitchReady your rig type, hitch, slideout count, and equipment. It removes every item that doesn't apply to you. A Class B van never sees a slideout step. A fifth wheel never sees safety chain items.
13 rig configurationsBefore you can mark pre-departure complete, HitchReady shows you every critical item and requires deliberate confirmation. You can't accidentally drive away — you have to consciously say "I've verified this."
Safety-first designCampgrounds have terrible cell service. HitchReady works completely offline — no internet required, ever. Your data lives on your device. Your checklists are always available when you need them most.
No connection neededDon't know how to do a step? Tap the "How" button on any item and watch a 60-second Short showing exactly how it's done. New RVers get a built-in tutorial for every unfamiliar task.
Learn while you doEvery completed list is logged with a timestamp, item count, and pass/skip status. Track your streak. Know when you last ran your pre-departure list. Build confidence over time.
Peace of mindAdd your own checklist items for your specific setup. Hide items that don't apply to you. Long-press any item to access details, descriptions, and management options. It's your checklist.
Fully customizableA quick 5-step setup captures your rig type, hitch, slideouts, and equipment. 90 seconds, done once.
Pre-Departure, Arrival Setup, and In-Transit checklists — filtered to show only what applies to you.
Big tappable checkboxes. Critical items flagged in red. Progress bar at the top. Works offline, always.
The Can't-Leave Gate confirms every critical item before you move. Then it's time to roll.
After two years of full-time RV travel, Ben and Anna of Noteworthy Nomads had made enough expensive mistakes to know that a generic checklist app wasn't cutting it. The antenna that got left up. The shore power cord that got driven over. The moment of genuine panic wondering if the hitch was actually locked.
So Ben built HitchReady — a checklist app that actually understands what a fifth wheel is, knows the difference between a kingpin and a coupler, and won't let you drive away without confirming the critical stuff. Every item in every list came from real experience on the road.
