ADVENTURE GEAR

• BACKPACK – When it’s time to head up to the mountain or down to the beach, having a sturdy backpack with multiple pockets will come in handy.
• WATER BOTTLE – You are gonna get thirsty walking around all day or sitting in the sun. I have a Camelbak water bottle I really love, but it became very moldy & it often leaks. I suggest a bottle with a tight fitting lid. Please suggest your favorite water bottle.
• THERMACELL / OFF – There is a great new invention called a Thermacell Portable Mosquito Repeller. You can lay it on the ground to fend off unwanted bugs or some clip to your belt. There is also a lantern. If you don’t have time to get one of these, don’t forget your OFF.
• CAMERA – You want to remember these exciting times. Unless you have a really amazing cell phone camera, I suggest a point & shoot camera or a DLSR w/ different lenses.
• HAMMOCK – You just don’t know when you will need a nap so be sure to bring along your trusty hammock. We LOVE our ENO Hammocks which stuff into a small pocket the perfect size to fit in your backpack
• BEAR SPRAY – If you will be in bear country, it’s a good idea to bring some bear spray.
• WATERPROOF BOX – Rafting down the river, getting rained on in the mountains, sunning at the beach…a waterproof box will save all your electronics from water& sand.
• CAMPING CHAIRS – There are often picnic tables at RV sites, but a good camping chair will come in handy.
• WALKIE TALKIES – Your phone might not work in some locations. Long range walkie talkies will be useful in the wild & they also come in handy when backing up, parking or leveling the RV.
• BINOCULARS – It’s always fun to look at a beautiful landscape with binoculars so you can soak in all the small details or zoom in on the wildlife.
• SUNSCREEN – Spray, stick, rub on…whatever does the trick for you. Get a high SPF.
• FLASHLIGHT & LANTERN – Even thought your RV might have outdoor lights, a flashlight and/or lantern will always come in handy. I really love my Etekcity Ultra Bright Portable LED Camping Lantern. It’s provides mellow light for inside the RV or sitting outside at night.

PETS

• EXTRA  FOOD & TREATS – You can’t always be sure your pet’s food or treats will be available in your adventure area. Bring extra. Consider storing it all in a plastic container. Don’t forget their food & water bowl.
• MEDICATION – Don’t forget the flea treatment, heartworm meds, etc.
• BED OR BLANKET – If you plan to sit outside a lot, bring your pet’s bed & maybe a blanket to keep them warm or keep off bugs.
• POO BAGS – Lot’s of RV & camping sites ask you to scoop the poop. While some places offer free bags, it doesn’t hurt to bring some extra.
• COAT – If your pet has short hair or your will be taking them to a climate significantly cooler, get a coat.
• LONG LEASH – Even if your pet is good without a lease, campgrounds are full of wild animals & other pets. Best to keep your pet near & give them a little extra room to roam.
