The Essentials

Now that you’ve decided to purchase an RV, it’s time to think about all the other things you’ll need to ensure a safe, smooth and fun camping trip.

Not everything on this list is a must right up front; over time you’ll find what your needs require. The list below is compiled from all the videos I’ve watched so am pretty sure you’ll need them at some point.

This list isn’t a comprehensive list, but will get you started in the right direction.

I am not an Amazon affiliate so don’t make money from these links. If you like to buy from other retailers please do. Walmart also has a nice RV section in their stores; or at least the one near me and have bought quite a bit from them.

Most people will say never use glass in your camper so these products are ones I've come across while watching videos. Not extensive list, but will add more as I continue my research.

This list should get you started to ensuring your camper is safe and secure. Though thieves can get through most locks, the more you have the better chance they will move on.

A lot of the newer campers will come with good solar packages so purchasing portable solar isn't required. But for those who have an older camper or one that didn't have solar installed, these are great options to power your camper. Even if you're not a camper person, but only use a tent, these could be great options for you too.

I'm adding in the brands I've come across that seem to get good reviews so you'll need to figure which one will be right for you.

There are a lot of brands on the market today and a lot coming in from China and those models will be a lot cheaper. Things to look out for is the type of battery used and how many charge cycles can you get.

To me, these are the top options, but also on the higher end of the cost scale. Do your research and READ THE REVIEWS

As of the writing of this, newer modals will have come out.
