Camping in an RV presents endless opportunities for people to have unique journeys around the globe. There are different levels of camping and adventures, but each requires a baseline of essentials to ensure that you and your group are always safe. Having critical camping gear or a camping “kit” is the best way to go!
Having emergency / essential supplies provides peace of mind and security to any travel environment. Most adventures require you to rely on yourself in some capacity, so having these essentials empowers you to take control of your situation and survive no matter what.
Some essentials can be carried with you, while others are tools, systems, or components that work with your RV. There are survival levels, so it is important to be ready for all of them, even if it is just fixing an AC on a hot day. Essential is essential.
Tools of the (Camping) Trade

A toolbox composed of electrical tape, wrenches, screwdrivers, superglue, self-tapping screws, tinsnips/wire cutters, white lithium or lubricant, and a carpenters knife will cover most jobs that may arise.
Ensure that your tools fit the bolts or screws in your RV, and you will be ready to tackle most jobs. Come to expect minor repairs. For example, lights fall, jackets rip, and leaf springs rattle loose. Good preventative maintenance is one of your best defenses against a crisis or significant problem.
