One Week Summer Road Trip RV Camping Checklist
Packing for an RV road trip can be overwhelming at first! Not only do you need to remember your clothes and toiletries, you also need to pack the entire kitchen, remember your outdoor equipment, and make room for RV-specific items such as the sewer hose.
Fortunately, we’re here to help reduce your stress by providing some packing tips and a convenient basic road trip checklist! This can serve as a foundation for all of your RV packing needs.
Packing Tips for a One-Week Road Trip
Before we dive into our RV packing list, here are a few tips to help your trip go more smoothly. These will help make packing, unpacking, and finding what you need a little easier. They’ll also ensure that you remember important essentials that are often forgotten.
If Renting, Find Out What’s Included
Will you be renting an RV for your getaway? If so, it’s a good idea to find out what’s included with your rental. Sometimes things like linens and dishes are included. Other times, you might pay for the RV to come stocked with these things. This will help make packing easier and is especially nice if you’ll be flying to pick up the rig.
Own Your RV? Consider Keeping It Stocked
If you own your own RV, you can save yourself time whenever you go camping by keeping things like dishes and linens—as well as entertainment items and outdoor gear—in your RV all the time. This makes packing for a road trip much easier and is something you’re sure to thank yourself for later.
Go Lightweight
When packing an RV, it’s important to keep in mind the fact that every RV has weight limits. For safety, you must stay within these limits. For this reason, we recommend choosing lightweight items such as plastic dishes rather than porcelain or stoneware. You’ll also want to avoid packing too much in order to ensure you stay within the limits of your RV.
Give Yourself Time
Because there are so many things to be taken on an RV trip, it’s always a good idea to give yourself plenty of time to pack. Not only will trying to pack everything just before your trip be stressful, it’s also more likely you’ll forget something. You can always get a head start by packing the night before leaving.
Keep Important Papers Safe and Handy
Important documents such as rental and reservation confirmations, pet vaccination papers, and passports should be kept handy and in a safe spot. We recommend a waterproof bag for all of these things. From there, find a spot that is hidden away but not hard to get to, and stash your papers.
Use Packing Cubes
Packing cubes are convenient for any kind of trip, including RV trips! Packing cubes help organize a suitcase by giving you small cubes for each set of items. They’re great for RVing because the cubes can easily be moved from a suitcase or tote into RV drawers without unpacking each individual item.
Pack Sun and Bug Protection
If you’re going camping, you’ll likely be spending time outdoors. It’s important that you pack sun protection and bug protection! Sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, bug spray, and citronella candles are all good options.
Be Prepared for Weather Changes
You’ll also want to be prepared for changes in weather. Yes, you’ll be traveling during the summer, but many popular RV destinations can get chilly at night. Additionally, you never know when a thunderstorm might roll in, making things wet and changing the temperature. Pack a jacket, ponchos, an umbrella, rain boots, and long pants.
Meal Prep at Home
Fitting enough food for an entire week into an RV fridge and pantry is a challenge, to say the least. Meal prepping can help by removing excess packaging and paring down what you actually need to bring. It’s also helpful because it means you can spend less time trying to work in the tiny RV kitchen and more time having fun.
Put Foods in Stackable Containers
In addition to prepping meals at home, it can be helpful to put all food into stackable containers. This includes the foods you prep as well as pantry foods. Being able to stack all of your food will reduce wasted space, making the most of your teeny tiny RV pantry and fridge.
Use a Hanging Toiletry Bag
Toiletries are must-have items, but packing them can be tricky. We recommend investing in a hanging toiletry bag.
These are awesome because they’re waterproof, they hold all of your bathroom needs in one easy-to-carry bag, and the bag can be unfolded to hang in the bathroom, giving you easy access to your toiletries while in the RV. You can even fold the whole thing back up for trips to the bathhouse!
Pack Waterproof Bags for Dirty Clothes
You’re going camping. You’ll have wet, muddy, and dirty clothes. Make sure you’re prepared for this by packing waterproof bags to hold these clothes. This will make packing everything back up a lot easier.
Carry a Plastic Container with a Lid for Dirty Shoes
Finally, we find that leaving shoes outside of the RV tends to be the best option for keeping floors clean during a camping trip. However, you obviously don’t want to leave your footwear outside in the elements. A plastic tub with a lid is the perfect solution, giving you a place to store shoes outside of the RV while still protecting them from excessive sunshine, rain, and curious animals.

What to Pack for Boondocking Road Trip Essentials
Boondocking might seem overwhelming at first! After all, camping without the conveniences of fresh water, a way to get rid of dirty water, and electric hookups requires a bit of planning. But if you do plan and use a good boondocking RV camping checklist, you should be able to camp off-grid without sacrificing comfort.
Packing for a Boondocking Trip: Electricity and Water
The most challenging part of boondocking is finding a way to stay comfortable while making your electricity and water last.
Fortunately, there are a lot of options! Here are some suggestions:
Invest in Good Batteries
Batteries are incredibly important when dry camping. After all, your batteries hold all of the electricity you’ll be using throughout the trip. Invest in a good battery—or even a whole bank of batteries—so you can get through your getaway without running out of power.
Have a Way to Recharge
You will almost certainly need to recharge your batteries at some point during your trip, so you’ll want to plan a way to do this.
Some people prefer a generator, and many RVs come equipped with onboard generators. Solar panels are a nice option because they don’t require any fuel. However, most people who use solar panels still keep a generator around as a backup in case sunlight is in short supply.
Change Your Lightbulbs
Oddly enough, lights in RVs can be huge energy hogs, draining your batteries very quickly if you aren’t careful. To help solve this problem, you might consider switching to LED light bulbs in your RV. These bulbs are more expensive, but they last much longer, use less power, and don’t get as hot.
Light Your Site
Speaking of lights, because you’ll probably be boondocking in the middle of nowhere, you will want to have some way to light your site at night. You could, of course, use the exterior light on your RV, but this will use some of your precious electricity. Instead, we recommend solar lights to keep your campsite illuminated without draining your battery.
Install 12-Volt Fans
Fans and vents are important for keeping your RV cool and comfortable. Most RVs come equipped with at least one 12-volt fan, but they tend to be pretty weak. We recommend replacing the factory fan with a FanTastic Fan or MaxxAir Fan, adding a second fan if possible, and adding vent covers that allow air through without letting sunlight and rain in.
Bring a Way to Dump Your Tanks
Black and gray tanks fill more quickly than most people realize. For this reason, it is incredibly important to use water wisely and put only what you have to down the drain.
That said, even when taking these precautions, you will almost certainly need to dump if you are out for more than a few days. For this reason, we recommend a portable dump tank and a macerator pump to get the dirty water from your tanks and into the portable tank in your truck bed. This will allow you to take the water to a dump station without moving your entire rig (which could cause you to lose your nice camping spot, depending on where you’re boondocking).
Keep Refill Jugs Handy
Watching water usage is also important because it’s very easy to run out of fresh water. In order to avoid running out, we highly recommend keeping two 5-gallon jugs on hand. Carry them in your vehicle if you can, and fill them up anytime you see a place to do so. You can then transfer the jugs to your fresh tank as needed.
Get Clean with Less Water
One way to conserve water is by reducing the amount you use when showering. You can do this in a couple of ways. The first is to put off showering for a day or two by using something like Venture Wipes to clean up. The second? Changing to a low-flow aerated showerhead such as those made by Oxygenics.
Wash Dishes in a Tub
Another great water conservation tip is to wash dishes in a tub. Filling the tub with soapy water uses less running water as you wash. You can also save the water to flush with later, getting more than one use out of it and saving space in your gray tank!
Skip the RV Furnace
RV furnaces are notorious for being inefficient. To save the electricity used to run the fan, and to save fuel as well, consider investing in a propane space heater such as the Mr. Buddy to use instead of the RV furnace. These use no electricity, and because they run more efficiently, they use less propane as well. Just be sure to read all operating instructions and crack open a window nearby.
More Tips for Off-Grid Camping
Once you figure out how you will conserve water and electricity while on a trip, you’re pretty well set. That said, there are a few other tips you might want to keep in mind when building your boondocking packing list.
Carry Extra Fuel
We mentioned propane above, which you need to keep warm in your RV in winter. You also need it to use your gas stove and oven as well as your gas water heater. Therefore, you will want to make sure you go in with full tanks.
Additionally, you will want a gas can so you can refill your vehicle should you accidentally run out of fuel.
Be Prepared for Emergencies
You never know what might happen on a boondocking trip, and when you’re off-grid, there may not be people around to help. You’ll want to be prepared to help yourself as much as possible. Carrying a well-stocked first aid kit and tool kit will allow you to take care of most issues on your own.
Carry a Road Atlas
Many boondocking locations don’t have cell reception, making it impossible to use a GPS. Make sure you have a paper road atlas so you can find your way around. Downloading maps of certain areas to your phone or GPS can also be helpful.
What to Pack for a Self-Contained RV Trip: RV Camping Checklist
Obviously, when packing for a boondocking trip, you will need all the usual things you pack for an RV camping getaway. But you’ll also want several other key items as well. Here are other things you’ll want for a successful trip.
Electrical Items
- An RV-ready generator
- Solar panel(s) — optional
- RV battery or batteries
- LED light bulbs
- Solar-powered outdoor lighting
- 12-volt fans
Water Related Items

What to Pack for a Music Festival Road Trip
Musci festivals are tons of fun, and camping at these events only adds to that excitement. You can park right in the middle of the celebration and take it all in from morning ’til night. Whether you plan to attend Coachella, Burning Man, Bonnaroo, or another festival, you’re sure to have a blast!
All that said, there are certain considerations when you’re preparing for a festival camping trip. No matter how much experience you have packing an RV, you’re going to have some new things to figure out when figuring out what to bring to a festival the first time you go.
Sleeping Space
There are a few things that are super important and should be at the top of your packing list. A place to sleep, for instance, is something you’ll want to consider before booking your campsite. Many festival-goers choose to camp in a tent, but if the festival allows it, we highly recommend taking an RV. Even if RVs aren’t allowed, you may be able to take a van in some cases.
RVs and campervans provide better shade, protection from the dust, and even sometimes access to running water and electricity. Many of the best festival camping setups begin with an RV or van!
Restrictions and Banned Items
Before you begin packing for your trip, be sure to check the festival website for a list of prohibited items and restrictions on items that are allowed. Some examples of common restrictions bans on generators (or set hours when they can run), a ban on wood fires or fire pits, and rules about how big chairs can be.
Knowing these rules and following them as you pack will help you avoid disappointment when you arrive.
Power Source
Most festival campgrounds don’t have any sort of hookups. This means you’re responsible for managing your power consumption and finding a source of power if you need. Some people will pack solar chargers, while others have solar panel setups on their RVs. Still other campers bring generators to recharge their RV batteries.
Whatever you choose, make sure it is allowed and will be enough power to get you through the event.
Water Source
In addition to not having electric hookups, most festival campsites don’t come equipped with a water spigot. While many of these places do have water onsite somewhere, filling your tanks can be an annoying process involving moving your RV or carrying jugs back and forth until the tank is full.
Because you never know what the water at a festival might be like, it’s a good idea to fill your freshwater tank and bring in plenty of jugs of water for drinking. A good rule of thumb is to bring in one gallon of drinking water per person per day.
Dumping Tanks
All of the water you use in your RV while camping goes into holding tanks. It’s up to you to ensure you don’t overfill your tanks. While most people can get through a festival without filling their tanks—meaning they can dump at a dump station after the festival ends—those who choose to shower daily inside their RV likely won’t make it that long. In this case, a “blue boy” portable dump tank is a must-have.
Keeping Clean
Because conserving water and waste tank space is so important, many choose not to shower in their rigs when dry camping at a festival. Instead, they may bring a solar shower or use something like Venture Wipes to clean up for the few days of the event.
Keeping Comfortable
Temperatures at festivals can get really, really hot. Since you’ll be outside all day during the event, it’s important to find ways to keep cool and comfortable.
When choosing which clothes to pack, make sure to grab breathable, moisture-wicking clothing that is light in color. Plenty of water, cooling towels, personal fans, a hat for shade, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes are also must-haves.
While daytime temperatures can soar, you might also see some chilly nights. Be sure to pack long pants, jackets, sweatshirts, and some kind of shoes besides sandals so you can keep warm when the sun goes down.
Easy Foods
Finally, we should discuss food. Yes, most festivals have food stalls. However, most of this food is overpriced, the lines for these stands can get incredibly long, and often what’s sold at festivals is junk food.
Sure, you can treat yourself to a few festival snacks, but you’ll also want to pack plenty of quick and easy healthy snacks and meals that you can pull out when you’re hungry. This will save you time and money and help you feel better throughout the event.

RV Camping Checklist for an Adventure Road Trip
Whether you prefer hiking, four-wheeling, or kayaking, there are some awesome campsites for you out there, and owning an RV allows you to take full advantage of them!
Of course, you’ll want to make sure you’re well prepared for your adventure road trip, especially if you plan on more intense camping. You will need everything you’d normally need for an RV camping trip, plus all your adventure and safety gear.
Waterproof Bags
First, we highly recommend investing in some waterproof bags and containers. You never know what the weather might be like, and adventure camping can be particularly wet and muddy.
Waterproof boxes and bags for your clothes can be a lifesaver, and a waterproof backpack will work perfectly as an adventure day bag. Lastly, we highly recommend a waterproof container to carry your phone so you can have it with you without worry.
Water
Yes, you will want to prevent your things from getting wet, but that doesn’t mean you’ll want to avoid water entirely! In fact, staying hydrated is incredibly important and can be easy to forget when having a blast. On top of that, it’s not hard to become dehydrated when you’re outside in sunny weather.
Make sure you always carry a full water bottle, and ensure you have a gallon of water per day per person on hand.
First Aid Kit
Outdoor adventures often go hand in hand with injuries. Most of these injuries are minor and can be taken care of without a trip to the doctor. That said, you will want a fully stocked first aid kit in order to properly treat minor injuries at your campsite. Be sure to check your kit before every trip and make sure you have all the essentials.
Permits
You’ll also want to research the rules that apply to your destination. Make sure you understand what is expected of you as a visitor, and acquire any licenses or permits you may need beforehand, if possible, so you can start having fun right away.
Prepare for the Unexpected
When it comes to RVing, you never know what kinds of surprises might pop up. This is even more true when going on an adventure road trip.
For this reason, it’s always a good idea to prepare for the worst-case scenario and be ready to roll with the punches. Pack extra clothes and supplies, anticipate equipment breaking and pack repair kits if possible, and go in with a positive attitude.
If everything goes according to plan, that’s great! If it doesn’t, that’s okay too, and you’ll still have a good time.
Prepped Snacks
Lastly, because adventure activities require so much energy, you will definitely want to have healthy, filling, and energizing snacks on hand while out and about. Because you won’t want to waste precious vacation time getting those snacks together, it’s best to prep your snacks in advance, packaging them individually so you can grab and go as you’re headed out the door.

Packing for a Last Minute Trip
One of the great things about having an RV is the ability to get up and go on an adventure at the drop of a hat. That said, in order to do this, you really need to be able to pack efficiently. This means always being prepared, knowing exactly what you need, and learning a few packing tips to help you out.
Last-Minute RV Travel Tips
Let’s begin with some quick tips that’ll make last-minute RV travel much, much easier:
- Having two sets of things like dishes, towels, and cleaning supplies—and leaving one set in the RV at all times—will make packing before each trip a whole lot easier. Of course, you can also leave the typical RV supplies in your rig year-round.
- There are some things you can’t leave in your RV. For instance, you will probably need to pack clothes before each trip. Keeping a list of what you should be putting in your suitcase each time can be enormously helpful. A checklist for food can also be made to help improve your packing efficiency.
- If you will be packing a suitcase regularly, it is helpful to know the best way to pack a suitcase. We really like this video which shows you the ideal way to pack in an organized and efficient manner.
- Will you be renting an RV to go on your last-minute trip? If so, you obviously can’t keep your RV pre-stocked with most items. That said, there are many RV owners that will stock their rigs before renting them out for a fee. If you’re in a hurry, be sure to ask about this service.
Organizing RV Camping Supplies
Keeping everything in your RV well organized will help you quickly and easily make sure you have everything on your RV packing list. This means having a specific spot for everything and storing things in the outdoor bays in clearly labeled boxes.
Will you be packing everything up for the first time? If so, keep all items in labeled bins which are categorized by room. This will make the “moving in” process go much more smoothly, and by storing things in reusable bins, you’ll make “moving out” just as efficient.
One of the most important parts of “moving in” is knowing exactly how to pack an RV. While organizing and finding places for all of your supplies, keep in mind that you will need to distribute the weight of your things evenly across the camper. This ensures no one area is bearing the majority of the weight, something that can cause your rig to go out of control (among other things)
How to Pack Light for an RV Trip
Besides making sure the weight of your items is evenly distributed, you’ll also need to keep the cargo capacity of your RV—and your tow vehicle, if applicable—in mind. In many cases, this means packing lighter than you might have if no weight restrictions were imposed.
In order to pack light you’ll want to avoid unnecessary items such as bulky toys and one-use kitchen appliances. Stick to multi-functional, small, and lightweight items whenever possible and only bring the most essential things on your RV trip packing list.
Here are some things you’ll want to AVOID packing in your RV.
Excessive Kitchen Gear
Utensils, glass containers, and margarita makers all make for a well-stocked kitchen, but when packing your RV, these items just get in the way. Glass breaks and is heavy. Most utensils go unused. Margarita makers rarely get used.
Bring the bare essentials. You’ll be amazed at how creative you can get when faced with a less-than-gourmet kitchen.
Too Much Entertainment
Do you really need your iPad, computer, video games, DVDs, and a closet full of games? Probably not.
If you are going to bring entertainment, stick with two main items. If your iPad can double as a computer, map, and e-reader, then choose it and forget the additional laptop, GPS, and set of paperback novels. If you plan to play board games, bring your favorite instead of a series of games.
When it comes to entertainment, less is more.
An Extra Wardrobe
Bring clothes you can layer and mix and match for multiple days. You do not need a new outfit twice a day. Bring two pairs of shoes and no more. You probably won’t ever get out of your flip-flops or hiking shoes anyway. If you discover you’re cold, buy a souvenir sweatshirt.
In addition, pare back on the beauty treatments. Bring the basics and make sure the family can share all the items. Believe it or not, baby shampoo works on all types of hair. Eliminate one of each and only bring what you need. Packing your RV is simple. Make a list and then cut it in half.
Too Much Food
Make a list of meals and bring the ingredients you will need…plus two alternatives. You do not need a full pantry for a weekend trip. You will not need baking supplies and a pile of canned goods.
Plan ahead. If you need produce, stop and get only what you need along the way. Too many RVers pack for an army and then end up eating out anyway. Don’t let this be you. Plan your meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You will have more than enough left over for snacks.
Full Water Tanks
If you are still pushing the weight limit even after cutting back on what you’ll bring, consider traveling with empty water tanks. Water is heavy, and you can usually fill the fresh tank once you arrive at your destination if need be.
In the end, your RV trip is an adventure. Expect to have a great time. The lighter you pack the less stress you’ll encounter. Besides, if you forget something…well, you are camping, aren’t you? You can probably do without for a few nights.
