Summer Essentials for RVing

Before we dig into creating your perfect summer situation, there are some essentials that every RVer can use as the weather warms up! Below are a few must-haves – head to this post for more ways to stock your RV for summertime.

  • Sunscreen — Nobody likes to be sunburned on vacation. Therefore, sunscreen may seem like a small thing, but it isn’t something you want to forget.
  • Hat and Sunglasses — Dealing with the sun in your eyes is almost as bad as getting sunburned. Fortunately, a simple hat and sunglasses combo will take care of that issue.
  • Beach Supplies — Whether you’re headed to the ocean, the lake, or just a campground with a pool, you won’t want to forget the bathing suits, beach towels, sand and water play toys, and of course, those really cute beach bags to hold it all.
  • Refillable Water Bottle — Sure, you could buy a pack of disposable water bottles. However, a refillable bottle is much better for the environment.

Poolside Dream

If you don’t want to share a pool with others on the campground, consider adding on to your site! With an inflatable pool, you can easily pack away or bring it out whenever you want to go for a dip or float for the afternoon.
