8 Supplies you Should Always Keep in your RV

Camping requires a lot of planning and strategic packing. Depending on how far out in the wilderness you’re planning to go, it may not be easy to go out and buy the things you forgot, and who wants to waste the money when you had the items at home? If you’re new to camping you may not know what you’ll need out in the woods. There are some staples that you should always keep in your RV that you’re likely to need on a regular basis. Keep your camper well-stocked with these items and you’ll have the basic necessities. If you’re thinking of purchasing your first camper, consider used RVs in Greensboro to save some money. Visit Out of Doors Mart to check out the current used inventory.  

1. First Aid Kit. This should be a no-brainer, yet you’d be surprised how many first time campers go out into the woods without even a Band-Aid. A proper first aid kit prepares you for those little scratches, scrapes, and cuts that can happen when you’re spending a lot of time outside.  
2. Bottled Water and Dry Snacks. Of course, you’ll plan meals and pack food and drinks. But just in case something goes wrong and you end up being away from civilization for longer than you intended, having an emergency supply of water and snacks is always wise and can be a literal lifesaver. 
3. Toilet Paper. Let’s be honest, this is an item that is absolutely crucial. Stock up on toilet paper for your RV so that there’s no chance of running out.  
4. Flashlights and Batteries. Most cell phones are equipped with flashlights these days, but in case your phone battery dies, and especially if you want a brighter beam, make sure you have flashlights that can stay in your RV and extra batteries.  
5. Tools. Having a basic set of tools on hand is a good idea. You never know when your RV may need basic repairs, along with any other items you brought along.  
6. Rain Gear. You hope you won’t need it, but there’s always a chance of rain. Be sure you have ponchos or raincoats for everyone as well as a few tarps to create dry areas outside of the RV to alleviate the cramped space.  
7. Lighter/Matches. Another crucial item if you want a campfire for cooking or ambiance. Unless you are skilled at rubbing two sticks together, you might want to keep a lighter and matches in your RV. 
8. Bottle/Can/Wine Opener. These tools are often forgotten, yet are so important. If you want to eat that can of beans or drink the beer or wine you brought along, you’ll be thankful you kept these items handy.
