Packing Essentials for Your Next RV Trip

With summer in full swing, we have now officially entered the most popular RVing season of the year. This summer 2019 will see upwards of 155,000 RVs on the road, headed all over the US and Canada. These RVers encompass a wide variety of people, from older retired couples to solo travelers with pets, to young families with children and so many more.

These people will be headed towards all sorts of destinations, such as campgrounds, RV parks, national parks, Harvest Hosts, and more.

And while RV camping is a great way for so many people to spend their summer vacations, it involves quite a bit of planning and preparation. One of the best things about RV camping is that it allows travelers to bring along all the comforts of home.

When packing for a traditional vacation, most people just pack their clothing and toiletries. However, RVs serve as a vacation home on wheels, which means that packing an RV can look a lot like packing a small house. Clothing and toiletries are still essential, but so are cooking supplies, food, outdoor gear, and all the additional items that go along with RV usage and maintenance.

While preparing for a trip is often exciting, it can also be a bit overwhelming. Here, we’ve compiled a list of the most basic RV essentials to help when planning your next camping vacation.

Kitchen Items

Since most RVs come equipped with a full kitchen, many RVers plan to cook most of their own meals. This means that you will need to pack all the items that are required for cooking. Here is a basic list of the most common items needed to cook and eat most meals.

• cups and mugs
