    22 Things You Need For Your RV Or Van This Camping Season

    ๐Ÿš™ <-- me zooming to the campsite.

    1. A window tent for your car door, so you can still let in some fresh air without getting eaten alive by mosquitos. The awning will prevent rain from dripping in the window, or you can just zip it up completely.

    2. A warm wool blanket that'll keep you toasty, even when the temperatures drop overnight. Itโ€™s slightly weighted (about four pounds), so itโ€™ll feel extra comforting.

    3. A roll of glow-in-the-dark tape for your RV steps, so you won't take a tumble when you're walking in and out of your vehicle at night. You can also tape it on switches or doors to see them without flicking on all the lights.

    4. This handy foldable mat that you can lay out in front of your vehicle when you're eating or hanging out. It also folds into a handy portable bag, so you can bring it with you to the beach or park, too!

    5. This paper plate dispenser that'll help you quickly grab some meal vessels for your hungry family or friends. It'll make cleaning up meals quicker and more convenient than using actual dishware, meaning you have more time to enjoy the great outdoors.

    6. And a matching paper towel dispenser, because spills and messes are inevitable at the camp. Since there's no tube that goes through the paper towel roll, you can just pop the whole roll off when you need to bring it somewhere.

    7. A pair of back seat organizers that'll keep all your miscellaneous doodads in order. They feature bottle holders, tablet slots, a tissue box, and a ton of other useful pockets and hooks, so your backseat buddies will have everything they need.

    8. This SUV mattress that'll turn your entire car into a comfy bed. It has five individual air chambers, so you can adjust how firm the mattress is in different areas.

    9. A pair of wheel chocks that'll help prevent your vehicle from rolling away. It's more a preventative measure for sure, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Just make sure you remember to take them off before you drive away ๐Ÿ˜‰.

    10. This brilliant tray that'll attach to your steering wheel so you can eat or work when your car is parked. One side is meant for eating (it has a cupholder!), while the other side is flatter and will hold your laptop and a pen.

    11. A pair of RV bumper caps that'll keep bugs away from nesting in your bumper. The squeeze grip makes them easy to insert and remove without having to pry them off.

    12. A slim garbage bin that'll actually fit in your tiny RV bathroom. Reviewers who bought it for their RV love how it fits a plastic grocery bag perfectly and they no longer have to carry trash to the kitchen anymore.

    13. Or a trash bin that'll help you keep your car clean. It's waterproof on the inside, so you won't have to worry about that last sip of soda getting all over your seats. Thereโ€™s even a tissue holder and a pocket to keep some cleaning supplies on hand.

    14. A pair of towels that only speak the truth (that life is better at the campsite). They're ultra absorbent and are a must-have for your rig's kitchen or bathroom.

    15. A rechargeable fan that can keep you cool for up to 40 hours before you need to plug it back in. It also has a built-in lamp with three brightness levels, so you can use it to see your surroundings at night.

    16. A cupboard bar that'll help prevent everything you own from falling out after you've been on the road. Itโ€™s extendible, so itโ€™ll fit any space in your fridge or your cupboards.

    17. A four-bike rack, if cycling is part of the itinerary. It'll fit right into the hitch of your car and can be folded down flat when you're not using it.

    18. A car fridge that'll keep your produce and drinks cold in just a matter of minutes. It's even powerful enough to function as a freezer, if you need to keep things like meat or fruit frozen.

    19. A water filter that'll convert campground water into safe, drinkable water with a carbon filter and KDF. Think of it as a heavy-duty Brita that'll last you an entire season.

    20. A wraparound step rug for your RV steps, so you won't burn your bare feet or bang your shin on your way up. They'll also catch some of the dirt and debris from your shoes, so you don't trek it into your rig.

    21. A pack of sewer hose levellers that'll make the least glamorous part of owning an RV a little easier. It might not be the most exciting product, but you wonโ€™t have to hold the tube yourself while it drains, so if that doesnโ€™t make you want it, IDK what will.

    22. And lastly, this adorable hitch cover that'll prevent your hitch from getting rusty and dirty. Congrats! Your camper had a little baby!
