RV Camping Checklist
Having an RV camping checklist is crucial before campers set out on a road trip around the country. Before you do so, whip out that checklist to make sure you have all you need.
- Each one going on the road trip should carry an outline of the trip's agenda - be it with friends, relations or family; carry maps as well.
- Sufficient supply of money and individual debit / credit cards.
- Make sure everyone has cellphones, battery chargers and extra batteries in case anything should happen.
- Medicines / first aid kit, in case anyone should fall ill / get injured.
- Torchlights are an important piece of equipment, so stock up on extras, including batteries.
- If you're going to be out in the sun, it is advisable to carry a good supply of sunscreen.
- If you're planning on carrying a camera kit, make sure you have everything including battery chargers and extra batteries.
- Don't forget to carry a couple of bug spray tins - you wouldn't want mosquitoes and other creepy crawlies incessantly attacking you. Mosquito nets too are a must.
- Firewood when carried may seem like a better option to save time from cutting them up when you camp-out.
