You’ve Arrived. See What’s Around You.
Smart Arrival™ brings VanLife Connect to life at every stop.
Automatically discover nearby services, community activity and fellow travellers relevant to where you’re staying.
Your Stay Starts When You Arrive.
Most travel apps help you decide where to go and where to stay. VanLife Connect takes over from there.
One Arrival. Three Connected Hubs.
Smart Arrival™ recognises your location and makes VanLife Connect relevant to where you are — bringing together the services, community activity and travellers around you.
Services
Find help nearby, or offer your own skills and earn while you travel.
Community
See local notices, meet-ups, traveller tips, requests for help and what’s happening around your stay.
Travel Mates
Connect with fellow travellers nearby, keep in touch with people you meet on the road and see who may be heading the same way.
How Smart Arrival Works
Smart Arrival™ takes the hassle out of connecting when you reach a new campsite. It detects your arrival, prompts you to confirm where you’re staying and for how long, then helps you discover relevant services, local community activity and your existing travel mates nearby.
Arrive
We detect when you arrive
Pull into a recognised campground or caravan park. With location permissions enabled, Smart Arrival detects when you’ve stopped and prompts you to check in.
Confirm Your Stay
Your location. Your choice.
Simply confirm your campsite and how long you’re staying. A quick check-in connects you to what’s relevant at your new location.
Discover
See what’s happening around you
Explore services offered nearby, local Community Noticeboard posts and travel mates you’ve already connected with, subject to their location-sharing settings.
You’re always in control. Smart Arrival requires location permissions, but check-in is never automatic. You also control how you share your location with your travel mates.
