Ask any RVer and they'll tell you that owning a rig is great fun. But there's also work involved, and many items to pack on your checklist. To help you gather everything you need, we've created a handy guide of RV essentials. Use this list during your next vacation to check off all the items you should have while RVing!
Your RV should come with a power cord, but you may need an adapter depending on the electric service available at your resort. As a reminder, a 30-amp power cord has three prongs, while a 50-amp cord has four prongs.
Accidents and breakdowns can derail even the best planned trips. Be prepared on your next adventure with an emergency kit, which should include basic maintenance supplies, flares, and a flashlight. You might also consider packing a winter driving kit for the cooler months, or unexpected weather conditions.
Additionally, you should never travel without a spare tire for your RV. Be sure your spare tire is full and free of leaks before every trip.
Whether for swimming, showering, or simply washing your hands, towels come in handy. While RVing, pack at least two bath towels per person. Additionally, be sure to bring other RV essentials including beach towels, hand towels, and dish towels.
For trash, storage, or many other uses, keep plenty of trash bags stocked in your RV. Trust us, you'll use them more often than you expect!
The best offense is a good defense, right? Pack plenty of sunscreen and bug repellent to protect yourself from two outdoor annoyances while camping.
Last but certainly not least is the humble doormat. Often overlooked, a doormat is quite important for keeping your RV clean. Place doormats outside and inside your RV, so that you can take off your shoes without tracking in dirt. With these RV essentials, you're equipped to take on your next adventure with ease.
