A trip to an RV campground can be an exciting adventure, but it's important to make sure you pack the right items to ensure an enjoyable and stress-free trip. Making a comprehensive list of all the supplies you'll need can help make sure you don't forget anything. Here are a few categories of items to consider when packing for a trip in an RV.

What Should You Pack for an RV Trip?

1. Toiletries

Toiletries are essential for any trip and you'll want to bring items like shampoo, conditioner, soap, and toothpaste. If you plan to explore the great outdoors, consider bringing along items like insect repellent, sunscreen, and aloe vera gel. Make sure to bring enough of each item to last the duration of your trip and store them in a convenient location. Many RV campgrounds have laundry facilities, so it’s a good idea to pack detergent as well.

2. Kitchen Goods

An RV kitchen can be just as functional as a home kitchen, so you'll want to make sure you have all the necessary items for meal preparation and cleanup. Basics like pots and pans, plates, cups, and utensils are a must, but you may also want to bring along additional items like a coffee maker, a cutting board, and storage containers. Don't forget small appliances like a toaster or microwave and other kitchen necessities such as dish soap, dish towels, and cleaning supplies.

3. Clothing

When packing clothing for an RV trip, keep the weather and the activities you have planned in mind. If you plan to do any hiking or swimming, bring along the appropriate attire and shoes. Bring layers in case the temperature changes and don't forget rain gear if thunderstorms are in the forecast. You'll also want to bring along some comfortable clothes for lounging in the RV and pajamas for sleeping.
