A Surge Protector

RV campgrounds can sometimes have intense currents that could damage your camper's electrical system. This can generate a host of safety issues, not to mention an expensive repair bill. All you need to prevent this is a surge protector.

A Water Pressure Regulator

RV campgrounds can also have a water pressure that's too high for your camper's pipe system. This can also lead to damage and safety situations. Get a water pressure regulator to help keep this scenario from happening.

Communication Devices

Your cell phone shouldn't be your only tool for communication. Signals can be spotty out in remote natural areas anyway. If a sudden storm or power outage occurs, the cell phone could become useless.

You'll need two types of communication devices. First, you'll want something to keep you informed. A battery powered or hand crank radio will be a useful asset. It can provide valuable safety information even when the power is out.

Second, you'll want something for communicating to others. For example, maybe you went hiking alone and suffered an injury preventing you from returning to camp. Consider flare guns, flashlights, and other such attention-grabbing devices. Of course, it's best to avoid solo adventures on your RV trip—when possible, be sure to adventure with a buddy.

First Aid Supplies

Many minor health issues can arise on an RV trip, such as bug bites, cuts, sunburns, and headaches. A first aid kit will carry the essential ointments, pills, bandages, and other items for addressing health situations. If a more severe health accident happens, the first aid kit supplies could help tie you over until medical professionals arrive or you reach the doctor.

Fire Safety Supplies

Don't underestimate the risk of fire in an RV! Camper fires do happen and it's important to be prepared.

Start by equipping every room with a smoke alarm. If you are asleep or outside the RV when a fire starts up, the smoke detector can alert you to the situation.

It's also crucial to stock your RV with fire extinguishers. Place one in the kitchen, one near the front door, and one in an outside storage compartment.
