RV trip across america gear checklist

Gearing up for life on the road

Here is a rather exhaustive list of the gear that we saw fit to bring along on our RV trip across America.

After less than a week on the road, I can already tell that there are some things I left at home that I should have brought, and some things I brought I should have left at home.

I’ll provide some commentary on the must-haves and the should-leaves soon. I’ll also be converting this list into a gear checklist and weight calculator, similar to the one’s I’ve created for backpacking and cycling.
