Space is always a factor when you are RVing. It doesn’t matter if you have a tiny RV or a monstrous behemoth, all RVers struggle with the question of what to take and what to leave behind. Here are a few suggestions of things to make sure you have when traveling:
Roadside Assistance Card
When you need a tow, you’ll be thankful to have roadside assistance. We’ve had to use our membership three times in the past year and it has paid for itself at least 10 times over. There are many companies to choose from: Good Sam, Coach-Net, AAA, insurance carriers, etc.
Folding Table
You can purchase folding tables practically everywhere. What you won’t find everywhere is a table at your campsite. The nice thing is that folding tables are lightweight and can serve a variety of purposes. You’ll probably end up using your folding table at nearly every campsite, even if there’s already a table there. They are great for meals, games, hobbies and to help hold down your outdoor rug to boot.
Internet Connectivity
Whether you are working on the road or like to stream movies in our downtime, internet connection is important. But unlike conventional stick and brick homes, RVs don’t have the luxury of unlimited Internet. So if you want to stay connected on the go, sign up with a reputable carrier before you hit the road.
Brass Y Valve
Many campsites have a water connection with only one spigot. It’s easy to double the functionality of this connection with a brass Y valve. Whether you need an extra line for washing your hands, your rig, your car, or just too wet down your traveling partner for fun, this is an indispensable item!
A Great Vacuum
Remember that you are staying at campsites. This means dirt, mud, grass and bugs. So having a top-of-the-line vacuum is a must. But your vacuum should have a small footprint and be rechargeable and cordless for maximum functionality.
