10 Must Have RV Items For Your Next Trip

Ever wonder how some campers make camping look so easy? Sure camping is incredibly fun (we love it for a reason) but it is also a lot of work! It's really all in how prepared they are for the trip. Most of the time you'll forget something, but if you have these 10 items, your trip will be that much more relaxing and fun!

1. Micro Blender: For RVers short on storage space, a single-serve micro blender is a great addition to even the smallest RV galley. These powerful blenders perform a variety of kitchen tasks ranging from making breakfast smoothies to blending sauces.

2. Cast Iron Cookware: Cast iron pots are one of the most versatile kitchen tools around. They can be safely used on the stove, in the oven and over any campfire without damage. There are a ton of different recipes you can try with cast iron gear.

3. Folding Step Stool: If you had a nickel for every time something was out of reach then you would probably have enough nickels to purchase a folding step stool. These are great for reaching the high cabinets, washing the RV, messing with the awning, and countless other tasks.

4. Extra Hoses and Cords: Whether it is water hose, sewer hose, or a 30/50 amp extension cord, it is better to have too much then not enough

5. Portable Ice Cube Maker: Freezing cube in a RV can be a pain. Many folks end up making trips to the general store to keep coolers full of ice.

6. Mini Solar Device Charger: Power is always available when the sun is out, as long as you bring the right equipment. Keeping your gadgets charged has become an important part of our lives (or your kid's lives).

7. RV GPS: We know a few folks who still carry paper maps, but most RV'ers have converted to some form of GPS device. Some use their smartphones and tablets. Most decide on a standalone RV GPS unit that is purpose-built to find routes for you based on the height and weight restrictions of a RV.

8. Tire Pressure Monitoring System: a tire pressure monitoring system isn't cheap, but having a blowout while driving on the highway could be a lot more expensive (and dangerous). Many seasoned RV owners install an add-on system if their rig didn't come with tire pressure sensors.

9. Tank-less Air Compressor: A portable tank-less air compressor is handy for small jobs from filling bicycle tires to topping off a spare tire during a roadside emergency. Look for units that can pump to 150 psi and run on 12 volt and/or 120 volt. Tank-less compressors can also be used to winterize your RV.

10. Safety Stuff: When you are traveling and away from home enjoying the outdoors it is a "when" not "if" situation when it comes to safety and injury. This inspires many RV campers to carry a thorough first aid kit, life vests (for children primarily), and reflective vest (roadside emergency).

Happy Camping!
