RV Travel Trailer Forgotten Supplies Tips New Owners How to stock RV Travel Trailer SHTF
Camper Practical easily forgotten RV items hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper my dog Teddy
and i are out on our shakedown tour with the rv travel trailer that i bought so that i can spend
some more time in the Lower 48 visiting with my family and helping care for my grandchildren
anytime you get a new RV trailer or you're heading out for the first time in a long time it's best to
go close to home see how things go make sure all your RV trailer systems are operational
bring along paper and pencil so you can make a list of things you've forgotten things you
need to repair things you need to look up things you want to know i wanted to share with you 11
RV trailer supplies things that i had on my first list forgotten must have items for
my RV trailer shakedown tour that i needed to pick up the first opportunity i had the first thing
i discovered is that cell service is extremely limited some of the places that i go which that's
a problem i've dealt with most of my life because i tend to live and travel in somewhat remote areas
so if your cell service might be spotty make sure absolutely that you tell someone where
you're going i picked up a pair of Motorola walkie-talkies so i could communicate with my
family and Motorola walkie talkits have worked because they're still nearby this wouldn't be a
long-term solution for long distance but Motorola walkie talkie is a good way to keep in touch just
if you go around in a campground or if one of you wants to spot RV trailer while the other one is
backing up or setting up your RV trailer Motorola walkie talkie can help you communicate clearly
with your family if you're heading out on a hike even you can take one Motorola walkie talkie so
you can still have contact if you're in a remote area the next RV trailer forgotten must have item
is medicines if you take any over-the-counter or prescription medications make sure you have
a supply of them with you RV trailer if there are life-saving medications that you rely on you
need to make sure you have medications with you at all times you should have medications in your car
in your handbag in your Bug Out Bag and in your travel trailer or your rv you want to make sure
that you have the life sustaining medicines items that you require don't forget a few reusable
grocery bags in RV trailer reusable shopping bags are great for just rounding up all the stuff in
your RV trailer you can hang it out of the way whether it's laundry or excess RV trailer spaces
tend to be extremely small and so you want to have a way to get all the clutter out of the way
plus if you're traveling and you stop at a new area you want to head into the store a lot of
stores reusable shopping bags are required they don't give them out so it's especially important
to remember that if you live in an area where they do provide shopping grocery bags that many areas
don't anymore and this is going to be something that you want to have with you cleanup is still
vital RV trailer and you may not want to have all the sprays and cloths so get sanitizing wipes wet
wipes that you can use to clean up your surfaces sometimes we need to use a few disposables simply
because we don't have the room RV trailer and we can't carry all the weight of all of the excess
paraphernalia RV trailer that you might be able to have in your home personal cleanliness is next
have some baby wipes some wet wipes if for some reason you can't take a shower or your children
are with you and they have sticky hands these are going to make quick cleanup and there's no water
required i stocked up on kleenex because runny noses are a problem with my family plus you can
just grab one wipe up a mess if you need to never put these down the toilet in your home or your
RV trailer these are not meant to be flushed the only things that should be going down the toilet
or things that are coming out of you or something with toilet in the name like toilet paper
not paper towels not tissues those don't go in the toilet toilet paper is designed to dissolve
in water and tissues paper towels they're not like that wet wipes never flush anything
like that you will clog up your toilet whether you're in your RV trailer or you're in your home
when i have visitors RV trailer i make sure they understand we don't flush any kind of paper in
the to the toilet in the rv in the travel trailer it goes into the waste basket that's provided in
the bathroom you don't want to clog up your RV trailer holding tanks with paper tissues
i have a bottle of white vinegar because not only is white vinegar great for sanitizing it's great
for deodorizing and you can use it for all kinds of purposes white vinegar has so many uses that
it's earned a spot in my rv travel trailer the next four items are food items that i wanted
to have along and the first one is just add water Krusteaz pancake mix these are fantastic you just
add water fry it up in a pan and you have pancakes and i found that the Krusteaz pancake mix is
now making a protein rich pancake mix so that's something you might want to look for Krusteaz if
you don't want to bring sticky pancake syrup along you can always use peanut butter and one of the
things that i found are Jif to go peanut butter Jif to go cups they're not the most cost effective
way to have Jif peanut butter but because of the way the serving sizes are you always have fresh
peanut butter and if you're just using your RV trailer occasionally then you don't have to worry
about opening a jar peanut butter maybe you aren't using your RV trailer for a while you can dispose
of the cups that you used and the other Jif to go cups are still fresh and they're taking up
only the amount of space that is required to have those Jif to go cups of peanut butter are great
you can hand one to a kid to eat with a spoon you can spread it on your pancakes you can still make
a peanut butter sandwich it's a great little grab-and-go snack that's in a convenient size
and sometimes convenience and small spaces are what really matter next Bob's Red Mill muesli
which is like granola you can sprinkle Bob's Red Mill muesli over your yogurt or you could
even cook it a little bit like you would oatmeal and you can have a nice hot cereal
Kraft macaroni and cheese you can tell my grandchildren are along it's easy to make the
Kraft macaroni and cheese and you don't even have to add the butter and the milk if you don't have
it i've made Kraft mac and cheese many many times without those two items this is still going to be
fine it's been extremely cold weather on this RV trailer trip and it's been very cold in the slide
out dinette area so i measured the space and i ordered a rug on amazon it fits almost perfectly
it's really helping keep the trailer warmer if you're new to rving RV trailer or it's the first
time in a long time do a shakedown tour make sure that you understand all of your RV trailer systems
how to set up your rv your travel trailer how all the systems work everything from the water
to the sewer to the propane the the holding tanks make sure that you understand all of the systems
and you're ready to go if you're close to home it's a lot easier to get home or go find the
things you need at stores you're familiar with rather than heading out into the mountains and
then finding out you forgot a vital component or something doesn't work right RV trailer so
learn all you can about your RV trailer stock up on the things that you really want to have
remember that space is limited don't stock up with everything you would in your home because
there just isn't room in RV trailer and you don't need it all to go out and really enjoy your time
