and I'm going RVing. Probably starting at Outer Banks NC seashore, then maybe Gettysburg, Washington DC, then who knows. On this type of trip gear is life. Please help newbie get it right. It probably only me but possibly one companion. No pets no kids. Would like to pull with my Jeep GC but will prob use my 95 Suburban as it more suited for travel

We also have a "breakdown" list printed on a pretty paper in a wooden frame that hangs just above the door. This is so I don't forget something before leaving the camp site (steps in, TV ant down, water pump off, etc)
See ya out there

Now..maybe you have to get it all in there. If you can pare it down to what you 'need' and then a few things you 'want'..you'll be a much happier camper. In all my years..I never needed all the wrenches, screw-drivers, jacks, pots-pans, plates, clothing, boots, sweaters,..I still drag around with me.

Having these items isn't much help if you don't know how and have experience using them. Practice changing a tire in your driveway just to confirm that you can do it quickly and safely as the side of the interstate is no place to linger.

Fortunately if you are in a busy CG there is somebody nearby who has what you need
Yes me, because I do not like going door to door asking for a pair of pliers to tighten my hose. 😄

Just about anything else can be bought at thrift stores, or dollar stores. Clothes, pots and pans, etc. Don't worry about tools as you can use my idea, every CG has someone with the correct tool, just ask when you need something.

Be sure to include a medium jacket and some long pants. You hopefully won't need them in the summer, but you never know - and you don't want to try to find a coat at the beach in summer.

Foul weather clothes. Clothes for working on the RV. A small collection of office supplies - pens, markers, envelopes, some postage, note pads.
Extra phone chargers, list of passwords for accounts and websites, important phone numbers not in your phones.
A credit card or LOC that you could put $10K on in an emergency.
