Documents and Important Information
Many campers get so busy packing everything else that the thought of gathering important documents and pieces of information doesn’t cross their minds. Don’t let this happen to you. You can keep all the documents in a folder for easy access, or you can even download an app that stores your important RV and travel information in your profile.
Make sure the following documents are included:
- Your vehicle registration.
- Campground reservations.
- Roadside assistance contact information.
- Any relevant medical documents.
- Driver’s license.
- RV manual.
- Map.
Adapter, Chargers, and Lights
You might be surprised at the number of travelers that forget their chargers and adapters at home. And we all know how disappointing and frustrating that is. This goes for your phones, tablets, and computers.
Also, bring along high voltage amp adapters and cords for shore power, a digital voltmeter/multimeter to check your battery, and a digital line monitor to test faulty wiring and to monitor your AC voltage and generator frequency. It’s a good idea to pack a surge protector and extra fuses as well.
Flashlights, headlamps, lanterns, and any extra lighting for inside and outside should also be on your checklist. Adequate lighting is not just a convenience, it is a basic safety measure and a necessity when camping. Don’t forget those extra batteries and a charger for rechargeables, too.
Handy Tools
You’ll need a toolbox to fix repairs on the go. This is where you will keep all of the essential tools you need to maintain your RV on the road. Make sure to include the following basic and most useful tools, among others:
- Hammer.
- Screwdriver.
- Duct tape.
- Jumper cable.
- Tire pressure gauge.
- Leveling blocks.
- Wheel chocks.
- Roof patches.
- Sealant.
