If you’re new to the RV camping lifestyle, there are some things you might not be doing yet that could make your packing process much easier. We have created a checklist for you to follow when preparing for your next long road trip.
Plan the Packing
Packing RVs is tricky because you have to be careful with weight distribution. You can’t just throw everything in wherever it seems convenient because the weight has to be balanced across the axles.
To do this right, first take note of where the heavy appliances are located. If the fridge, water heater, and range are all near the nose of the trailer, you’ll probably need to put a lot of extra weight on the tail to counter those appliances.
Make sure you balance from front to back and side to side.
Bring What You Need
Along with planning out your weight distribution, you need to figure out what you should take and leave behind.
Remember, when driving or towing an RV, everything is weight, which is important to keep in mind because an extra hundred pounds could drastically affect the vehicle’s handling during the road trip. Because of this, you’ll want to do proper planning beforehand so you can leave behind unnecessary items.
Pack for Comfort
Bedrooms in RVs might be small, but you’ll still want to bring everything you need to be comfortable.
You don’t need to bring three sets of sheets and comforters but don’t skimp on cozy blankets, pillows, and clothes. We recommend bringing just a few pairs of clothes that can be mixed and matched easily.
Packing for an RV road trip is simple – you just have to load the weight properly and learn to leave behind unnecessary items. With practice, you’ll learn how to pack for the perfect RV vacation!
