 | Wand - For cleaning out your black water tank. It does a great
job and a few years down the road you'll be glad you used it. |
 | Folding Shovel - Self explanatory, and you'll need one some day. |
 | Axe - Again, self explanatory. |
 | Sewer Hose Support - You can travel without one, but they help a lot when
dumping. |
 | Awning Tie-Downs - Great for those slightly windy days. In a storm,
however, it's best to close up your awning. |
 | Regular Extension Cord - A 25-foot length of extension cord, rated at least
20-amp. Use an appropriate gauge cord, at least a 12-guage. |
 | Garden Hose Mending Fittings - They are cheap and could come in handy. |
 | Duct Tape - Who doesn't use duct tape ? |
 | Electrician Tape - Another goodie when needed. |
 | Bungee Cords - You can purchase a package that includes various sizes. |
 | Another Flashlight - Or two, with extra batteries. |
 | Trash Can - For the interior, so you don't have to put things in a free-standing
plastic bag. |
 | More Tools - If you seriously consider this item, you are mechanically-inclined
and won't need to be told what to include here. |
 | Co-Ax Cable - For Cable TV. If you're carrying a TV in your
RV, you'll need this to avoid renting a cable from the campground, for those sites that have cable TV hookups. |
 | Telephone and Telephone Wire - Some campgrounds have free local phone service,
and it's nice to have a phone to call local attractions for more info, make reservations at a local eatery and these types
of calls. If you don't have a phone, you can always rent one from the campground. |
 | Electrical Tester - For those times when you need to check the campground
electrical service. Remember, this is in the nice to have category. |
 | Lubricating Oil - A can of WD-40 will do just fine. |
 | Vacuum Cleaner - A small model, maybe even a 12-volt portable for
those clean-up times. |
 | Broom and Dust Pan - Again, small and as portable as you can get. |
 | Ant Spray and Ant Traps - Because you will get ants at some
point in your RVing experiences. |
 | Swiss Army Knife - Just a nice item to have when you really could use one.
|
 | Rope and/or String - For those emergencies when you need to tie up, or down,
something at your site. |
 | Carpet or Fake Grass - to put down in front of the door; it really helps
keep the area cleaner and also helps to keep from tracking all kinds of dirt into your RV. |
 | Extra Mirror - just like at home, both of you are going to need the bathroom
mirror at the same time. Consider this an "argument-saver". |
