36 Camping Essentials for Your RV, Trailer, or Badass Camper Van

If your form of camping has long included a camper or rooftop tent, you know what some newbies, compelled by the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, are just figuring out: You don’t have to rough it just because you’re sleeping under the stars. No matter where you’re counting sheep, some items on your packing list won’t change (looking at you, s’mores supplies). But RVs, trailers, and RTTs require a few extras for maximum comfort. Whether you’re parking at a campground or going off the grid, this is the gear you’ll want to bring with you.

Be sure to check local regulations at your destination before your trip. Reservations are required at many campgrounds, and some buildings and amenities remain closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. While you’re there, protect yourself by social distancing, wearing a mask, and washing your hands (or using hand sanitizer) regularly. And consider saving trips to popular trails or other attractions for future visits to avoid crowds.
