When you’re new to the RV lifestyle, preparations often involve a mix of anxiety and excitement. You want to bring along all the gear you want and need while minimizing the amount of stuff that will sit in its cabinet for the whole trip.

The following guide identifies a few items that you might not always think about, but never fail to come in handy. Bring some of these items along on your next trip for an improved camping experience.

Solar Device Charger 

A small solar charger can help you charge up a phone or radio in case of emergencies. Whether you’re in the middle of an off-the-grid camping trip or simply at a campground experiencing a power outage, one of these small tools will come in handy when you need it.

Extension Cables

If you do have an electrical grid to plug into, you might as well take advantage of it. Even the best RVs might not put an outlet exactly where you need it every time. Just think about all the places you use extension cords in your house and you’ll start to realize how helpful it is to have some extra extension cords around.

Lithium Jump Starter 

You don’t want to get stuck away from civilization due to a dead battery, so make sure to bring along a lithium jump starter. This device will give you a solid jump start for getting your tow vehicle or motorhome running in a jiffy.
