Packing Essentials
Pack for the unexpected. Along with your usual travel items, include outdoor gear, a first-aid kit, and some basic tools for the RV. You will also want to pack for some quick and easy RV meals. Don't forget cozy blankets and ingredients for s'mores!
Planning Your Route
Research your destinations, but leave room for spontaneity. Consider downloading RV apps to make the planning process simpler. Part of the RV adventure is discovering hidden gems along the way.
