What to take with you on your RV trip

This one’s easy, since your RV packing list looks a lot like what you would pack for car camping or backpacking. Pack essentials like wicking, warmth, and rain-resistant layers of clothing and adventure gear like backpack, first aid kit, headlamp, and trail shoes. One of the best things about RVing is that you can pack some of those luxury items you usually leave at home, like toiletries and towels, favorite foods, camp chairs, and firewood. You’ll have more room to store things and spread out than you’re used to in a tent.

Eliminate frequent stops and the stress of parking and navigating restaurant parking lots and gas stations by packing a cooler. Include water and treats for pets, too, so everyone can eat on the road and limit breaks to truck stop fill-ups.
