Taking road trips is a popular spring and summer pastime for many people. Now is the perfect time to start thinking of ways to get your recreational vehicle ready for the next adventure. Here are a few items to invest in for more comfortable traveling.

What Do I Need for My Next RV Trip?

1. Air Compressor

The maximum pressure is stamped on the sidewall of your recreational vehicle's tires. Periodically check the pressure during your road trip to ensure it's at the appropriate levels. If the temperature drops considerably overnight, the tire pressure can also go down. Service stations might not have air compressors with pressure ratings high enough to fill an RV's tires, so it's worth investing in an individual unit with this capability.

2. Camping Supplies

If you plan to visit a campsite, bring along folding chairs for comfortable outdoor seating. You can also bring charcoal to take advantage of a grill or fire pit and ingredients for campfire foods, like hot dogs, foil-roasted vegetables, and s'mores for dessert. Purchase a set of pots and pans to store in the recreational vehicle, as well as dish soap to wash up after. Most importantly, pack comfortable sleeping bags to spend a night under the stars.  

3. Signal Boosters

There are often fewer cell phone and Wi-Fi towers in remote areas, which means you might have a weak connection during your road trip. You can purchase boosters to amplify the signals to ensure you can still receive calls and texts, use navigation equipment, and access entertainment.
