Long trip planning
Having recently retired, we are heading out in the not to distant future and won't come back to MN until the snow is gone next spring. Or so we hope. Just wondering if anyone has a list, or suggestion...

Most years, we take the RV on a road trip of one or two months. The obvious stuff to bring includes extra prescription glasses, plenty of prescription drugs, a stash of cash etc.
Some other misc. things I like to bring are front & back copies of our credit cards and insurance cards, copies of passports along with the originals if you might cross a border. Copy of home insurance policy info & agent contact. Copies of the dog’s records especially rabies certificate (had to produce it at a NY State Park once).
I once lost a tooth crown in the middle of nowhere, and since then I carry a little container of temporary glue goop from Walgreens. Also eye drops and an over the counter eye ointment my eye doc recommended after a minor eye scratch. A little kit to repair eyeglasses. A thermometer and common over the counter meds like cough medicine, laxative, anti-diarrheal, chapstick, NSAID, etc.
Extra drinking water filter for your RV if you use one - we have encountered some bad local water with sediment and off taste, and bottled drinking water jugs for places with boil-water advisories.
Extra DEF for diesel people. A lot of the stuff listed can be purchased but we like to stay in state and national parks which are in the boonies sometimes. I smile when I recall the clerk at a Walgreens pharmacy back home who told me I didn’t need a 90 day supply, I could just go to the Walgreens in Yellowstone.
