An RV has two overlapping maintenance problems. There is the vehicle underneath, with tires, brakes, oil and bearings, and the living space above, with tanks, propane, roof seals and appliances. Then there is the practical problem of remembering what was checked, when it was done and what needs attention before the next drive. Rigly is built to put those jobs in one place on an iPhone.
It is an RV maintenance schedule and log for motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels and truck campers. The app groups chassis and house-system tasks together, then adds pre-trip checks and a record of service and travel. That makes it less like a general-purpose reminder list and more like a maintenance journal tied to a particular rig.
One schedule for vehicle and living space
Rigly starts with a schedule selected for the type of RV. The developer says its service intervals are drawn from owner’s manuals and community sources, rather than generated by AI. Chassis items include engine oil, coolant, brakes, tires, bearings and generator service. House items include tank care, propane, slide-outs, roof seals, batteries, water heaters and awnings.
On the home screen, the next due item is meant to be prominent, with safety-related jobs ranked ahead of convenience tasks. A new rig can begin with items marked as not yet logged, rather than being presented as overdue simply because it has no history in the app. Seasonal winterizing and de-winterizing tasks are part of the schedule, and Rigly also offers a monthly check-in reminder.
The useful idea is having both halves of the rig represented in one schedule. If someone has been keeping an engine service record in one place and house-system notes in another, Rigly gives them a common journal. A service entry can include the date, mileage, cost and notes. Photos and receipt scanning are paid features, according to the developer; the scanner is described as reading the date and amount from a receipt image.
Checks before and after a trip
The Trip Mode workflow covers the other predictable source of trouble: leaving something unsecured or forgetting what happened on the road. Its pre-trip checklist has two modes. “Leaving home” covers broader preparation, while “Breaking camp” is a shorter drive-away check for things such as an antenna, steps, awning or shore power cord. Afterward, a trip log can record destination, dates, miles and problems encountered.
That structure gives a checklist a purpose beyond ticking boxes. A repair discovered on a trip can be recorded alongside the trip, and the service log can hold the longer-term record. Rigly also includes saved places for campsites or other useful stops. The developer describes these as an on-device journal, not a place-finding service.
The app is designed to work offline and does not require an account or cloud sync. That suits travel through areas without a reliable connection, but it also means the data is not being kept in a synced cloud account. The landing page describes a backup and restore option using a file, which is a manual step rather than automatic syncing between devices.
A useful record, not the final authority
Rigly has a free plan with a paid upgrade. The free offering includes one rig, the preloaded schedule, a limited number of service log entries, seasonal tasks and the complete pre-trip checklist. The paid tier adds features such as more rigs and entries, custom checklist and service items, photos, receipt scanning and PDF export of the rig history. The app runs on iOS, so it is not an option for someone who needs to maintain records in a desktop or Android app.
There is a more important limit than platform coverage: a preloaded schedule cannot know the exact condition or configuration of every vehicle. Rigly itself describes its schedule as a starting point and advises owners to consult the vehicle manual and qualified service technicians. That caution matters. A community-informed interval can help organize maintenance, but it should not override manufacturer guidance for a specific chassis or an unusual modification.
Rigly is aimed at RV owners who want a single offline place for routine tasks, pre-trip checks and service history, especially if chassis and house maintenance currently live in separate notes. It is a poor fit for people who need cloud syncing, cross-platform access or a schedule that replaces the owner’s manual. The Rigly app is best understood as a structured field log, not an authority on what every rig needs.
