Table of Contents
Clothes
Traveling in an RV means you are probably going to be spending a lot of time outside. Take that into account when packing and know it means the kids are probably going to get dirty so don’t bring their fancy clothes. Instead bring outside clothes that they can run and around, play in and get dirty.
With being outside a lot it also means that you will probably want layers. Even if you travel in summer the nights can still get chilly and you will most likely be sitting around a campfire. Since the weather can get colder at night and the bugs can come out having long sleeves and pants for nighttime is a good idea.
Most RV parks do have a laundromat so keep that in mind when packing and know you can go and wash clothes if you need to. If this is a big part of your plan do confirm with the campground that they have a laundromat on site.
Here are the clothes we recommend for each person:
- A pair of shorts per day
- A t-shirt/tank top per day
- 2 pairs of underwear per day (good to have extra)
- 2 pairs of sweatpants
- 1 long sleeve shirt
- 1 sweatshirt
- Bathing Suit
- Towels
- Running/hiking shoes
- Sandals
Toiletries/Personal Items
You don’t want to forget all of your toiletries! You will be camping but the beauty of going in an RV means you probably have a shower in your rig. For these pack very similar to what you would if you were going to stay in a hotel:
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Soap
- Shaving Cream
- Razors
- Pony Tail Holders
- Lotion
- Q-tips
- Hair brush/comb
A few other items you don’t want to forget:

- Shower Towels (if you don’t want to use the beach ones)
- Feminine products if you will need those during your trip
Tools/Utility Items
Things in RV’s break . . . so it is always good to have a basic set of tools along with you. Here is a list of what we recommend having on hand. If you are planning a trip longer then a couple weeks there is definitely more that we would recommend. But for your basic RV road trip this should do.

Food/Cooking Utensils
A lot of the time rented RV’s come with all of this. If you are renting an RV you should ask them what they are providing and then you can use theirs or bring your own – whatever works for you! If you do bring your own I would recommend telling the RV owner so they can clear out their things from the cabinets.
You really don’t need a lot when it comes to cooking utensils. If you keep your meal planning simple then you only need a few things.
- Skillet

- Water Bottles – nice to have when you go hiking too
- Water Filter – we highly recommend the Berkey

- Toaster
- Cutting board
- Grill lighter – longer lighter for lighting the stove and firepit

- 1 plate per person
- 1 cup per person
- 1 set of silverware per person
- Coffee cups
- Wine Glasses
- Whiskey Tumbler
- Large mixing spoon
- Spatula
- Pizza cutter
