There are a lot of things you need to bring to the table when planning an RV trip or a conversion into the RV lifestyle. Patience, organization, and a love for the open road are all must-haves when you’re out there traveling in your home-on-wheels. However, the most useful trick for RV planning is a classic concept—the list. Putting together a checklist of everything you’ll need for the trip depending on the length of the trip, how far from home you’re going, and how many people are coming along for the ride is a sure-fire way to make for easy preparation. Wholesale Warranties is a big fan of the to-do list, we use it in the office and when we’re out on the road, so we put together a pretty basic compilation of camping needs. These generic necessities range from what you’ll need in a deluxe motorhome to a simple tent, so be sure to add items that are more specific to your situation.
The hardest part of making and completing the list is distinguishing between “wants” and “needs”. We all know that the weight of your RV is one of the most important safety components, so the lighter you can pack the better. However, it’s hard to leave behind every comfort of home, especially if you’re hitting the road for an extended vacation. Be practical with what you bring, leave keepsakes and less commonly used items behind, and always opt for lightweight materials.
One thing you’ll definitely want to check off your RV list is an RV Extended Warranty! Nothing can slow down your camping fun quicker than a mechanical breakdown, and if the worst should happen and a large part such as an engine or transmission should fail, it could stop your RVing fun forever. Don’t leave your motorhome, travel trailer or 5th wheel unprotected. We at Wholesale Warranties offer tons of different programs to suit every vehicle and need, at prices you can afford. So request an RV Warranty quote today and cross “worrying about repair bills” off of your checklist for good!
What is on your RV Camping checklist?
I was on the road for several years. My planinng strategies were similar to yous. When ever we could we would stick to what you call the red roads , the state highways. At one point we wanted to see if we could hit the entire lower 48. The rule we set for our selves was that we had to have a meal in each state for it to count. In 39 days we hit all the lower 48. Of coarse that put a desire in us to see Alaska. We never did drive to Hawaii.
