For RVers who are beginners or experienced, here are 13 essentials you should know. The following items are essential for every RVer, regardless of whether they are everyday necessities or not. Whenever you travel long distances or overnight, you must pack these essentials.
1. Levelling Blocks
When you set up camp, make sure your RV is level. Using levelling blocks will prevent your RV from suffering additional stress. Make sure the area where it is parked is as flat as possible.
2. Wheel Chocks
You should not let your home slip through your fingers. Invest some time in it!
3. Separate Hoses
Grey water is stored in one tank and drinking water is stored in the other. For a clear understanding of what each label is for, it’s best if they are colored differently and clearly labelled.
4. Electrical Adapters and Extension Cords
Each park will have a different number of electrical outlets. Since it converts 30 amps to 50 amps via an adapter, this adapter can be plugged into any outlet with a 50 amp outlet.
5. Regulators
Your electrical system will need surge protectors in the case of power fluctuations. To ensure a safe amount of water pressure coming into the RV, a water pressure regulator should also be installed.
6. RV-Friendly Toilet Paper
There is a significant difference between bathrooms on board and those at home, which makes them a bit difficult to use. Your RV toilet will not become clogged with RV-safe toilet paper due to its thinness and fast breakdown.
7. Water Filter
To ensure reliable and safe water in your RV, drink filtered water.
8. Tool Kit
It is inevitable that something will break at some point. A lack of basic tools makes things difficult. If you are not comfortable with bigger fixes, leave them to the professionals.
9. Flashlight / Headlamp
RVs can be left overnight if there is no electricity or there is a power outage. If you have an RV, keep one or two in storage so that you can easily access them.
10. Emergency Road Kit
You and your passengers should have an emergency kit that includes jumper cables, tire changing tools, reflective accessories, and other tools in case of a mechanical breakdown.
11. First Aid Kit
Be sure you have supplies such as bandages and antibiotics in your first aid kit. You may need additional treatments depending on your activity and location.
12. Bucket
It is necessary to have a bucket that holds 5 gallons. There is even a possibility of having two! There is no doubt that they are useful no matter what they are used for, whether it is transferring water, washing clothes or dishes or even using them as portable toilets. Each of these will be beneficial to you in some way.
13. Protected Documents
There will be a full array of documents available to you: all your registration information, insurance information, crucial numbers, reservations, as well as backup maps. A large gallon-sized storage bag designed to keep them dry is normally used to store them.
