The Ultimate RV Camping Checklists for 2024 [9 Free Printable PDFs]

If you just bought an RV and are now looking for a checklist of everything you need to go camping, you might be a little intimidated… but don’t worry! I’ll break down everything you need to get to camping!

Not going to lie, this RV checklist can seem pretty big, but the good news is that once you get everything in place, you shouldn’t need to buy new things for your RV very often!

We personally bought ALOT of stuff used. This helped us save a lot of money on the basics such as kitchen and organizational items. That way we could have more for travel or for buying the things that were important to us or more of a “luxury”.

I will include my premade RV camping checklist you can print as well as each list item. That way you can copy and paste what you want and make your own RV camping lists!

9/5/21 NEW “RED-y” RV Checklist Set (see picture below!) available now

Before we start – here’s a fun way to use your checklists!

If you’re someone who likes to keep organized in all aspects of your RV life, then you may be interested in creating and binding your own custom camp journal – complete with a layout design planner to make things easier!

Not only are there the standard RV checklists, but also options to add in things like journal entries, travel logs, maintenance, milage logs and more!

P.S. If you’re tent camping, I created a tent camping specific checklist packet here !

Trailer Hook-Ups RV Checklist

This is probably the only checklist RV owners will have to buy new, and pretty darn quick – a lot of these items are necessary for RV travel.

• ⬜ Sewer hose
• ⬜ Freshwater hose
• ⬜ Power cord adapter
• ⬜ Black/dark color hose for black tank
• ⬜ Rv Manual (You won’t have internet access everywhere should you have a question!)
• ⬜ Water pressure regulator
• ⬜ Wheel chocks
• ⬜ Rubber gloves
• ⬜ Water filter
• ⬜ Wye fitting for hoses
• ⬜ Emergency brake cable
• ⬜ A connector to reduce 50 amp to 30 amp and vice versa
• ⬜ Jack and/or ramp
• ⬜ Tire iron
• ⬜ Tire Gauge
• ⬜ Leveling Blocks
• ⬜ Spray bottle with bleach water (for hooking up to fresh water)

RV Tools to Keep on Hand

Probably one of the most important RV checklists that you won’t realize the importance of until something breaks! This is especially true if you plan on full-timing or traveling long distances since there isn’t always cell service or a repair place nearby (that won’t cost you an arm and a leg!)

Check out this article to see all of our exact RV tool recommendations (with links!) We have three little kids, so we definitely are sure to be very safe and prepared in the tool department!

• ⬜ Screwdriver w/multiple tip sizes and types
• ⬜ Needle nose pliers
• ⬜ Electrical tape
• ⬜ Duct tape
• ⬜ Hammer/saw/hatchet
• ⬜ Bungee cords/ratchet straps
• ⬜ Folding shovel
• ⬜ Small step stool/ladder
• ⬜ Extra extension cords
• ⬜ Torque wrench
• ⬜ Tire plug kit/rv tire jack
• ⬜ Flashlights
• ⬜ Extra hitch pin
• ⬜ Extra fresh water tank cap

Outdoors Camp Gear

All you really need are some chairs and a way to start a fire… but these are all nice to have if you want to slowly add on to your collection!

I compiled a list of RV outdoor gear upgrades here if you want to see some deluxe stuff!

• ⬜ Entry mat
• ⬜ Camp Chairs
• ⬜ Charcoal/lighter fluid/lighter
• ⬜ Bug Spray
• ⬜ Citronella Candles/Insect Repellent
• ⬜ Patio Lights
• ⬜ Outdoor extension cord
• ⬜ Portable grill
• ⬜ Sunscreen

RV Kitchen Checklist

• ⬜ Crock pot or Insta pot
• ⬜ Cast iron
• ⬜ Coffee pot
• ⬜ Trash bags
• ⬜ Dish soap
• ⬜ Ice chest
• ⬜ Food/Drinks
• ⬜ Can opener
• ⬜ Pots/Pans
• ⬜ Silverware
• ⬜ Dish towels/Dish Rags
• ⬜ Plates/Bowls/Cups
• ⬜ Paper plates
• ⬜ Picnic table cloth
• ⬜ Small trash can
• ⬜ Paper towels/napkins
• ⬜ Foil/Ziplock bags
• ⬜ Wine bottle opener
• ⬜ Bottle/can opener
• ⬜ Can/bottle koozies

RV Bathroom Checklist

Depending on how far you’re going and if you’re going to use the shower in your RV, this RV camping checklist should be pretty easy!

We don’t often use our shower for short camping trips, and on long trips we try to pepper in some hotel showers as an excuse to explore town. If you plan on using yours often though, make sure you got the basics (+ some medical items!)

• ⬜ Toilet Paper
• ⬜ Toiletries
• ⬜ Sun screen
• ⬜ Band Aids
• ⬜ Eye Drops
• ⬜ First Aid Kit (make sure to include Benadryl)
• ⬜ Feminine Hygiene Products
• ⬜ Extra hair ties / pony holders
• ⬜ Any personal medications
• ⬜ Copy of insurance cards
• ⬜ Tote to carry items to shower

RV Bedroom Checklist

• ⬜ Clothes/pajamas
• ⬜ Outdoor clothes/hiking boots
• ⬜ Water shoes
• ⬜ Swimsuits
• ⬜ Beach towels
• ⬜ Hats/Sunglasses
• ⬜ Flip flops for shower

Other RV Needs

Here are some miscellaneous things to think about bringing to your camper!

Two things I want to point out – the surge protector you’ll need for your RV when hooking up to campsites is NOT the one you use at home! RV Surge Protectors like this are built for RVs that often plug into new power sources. They monitor for spikes and will auto shut off if they detect something dangerous!

Secondly – Always bring a checkbook! A lot of campgrounds don’t accept credit cards (especially the ones out of cell service) and you never know if you’ll be out of cash (ATM machines are hit or miss in small towns). We have used it as a last resort a couple of times when our other methods of payment fell through!

• ⬜ Surge protectors
• ⬜ Batteries – various sizes
• ⬜ Extra Plastic Bags
• ⬜ Card/Board Games
• ⬜ Small laundry soap/dryer sheets
• ⬜ Paper/Pen
• ⬜ Broom / dust pan
• ⬜ Throw rugs
• ⬜ Checkbook (in case campgrounds don’t take cards and you don’t have cash)
• ⬜ Copy of insurance papers
• ⬜ Rope/clothes pins
• ⬜ Command strips
• ⬜ Extra fuses
• ⬜ Spare bulbs indoor & out

RVing with Babies/Toddlers

There’s going to be way more gear now than when they get older, but it’s worth it to still go out and adventure! At the time of writing this, I have a four year old and two year old twins!

Try to keep in mind that there’s a minimal amount of baby stuff you need to bring on a camping trip with young kids. But you can usually pack a few extra items that will make camp life waaaaay easier with your young child!

All you REALLY need are the meds + diapers and wipes… but after camping with three babies now, I will say that all the stuff below that helps ALOT!

Here we go!

• ⬜ Diapers and Wipes
• ⬜ Rash Cream
• ⬜ PJS / Daytime Clothes
• ⬜ Thermometer
• ⬜ Infant Tylenol
• ⬜ Safe Sleep Situation (Bassinet, cosleeper etc)
• ⬜ Favorite toy or lovie
• ⬜ White Noise Machine
• ⬜ Bottles and/or Formula
• ⬜ Bottle Cleaning Gear
• ⬜ Hat and/or Sunglasses
• ⬜ Potty Chair if applicable
• ⬜ Camp Highchair
• ⬜ Camp Bouncer
• ⬜ Camp Pack N Play / Containment Area

RVing with Pets Checklist

We don’t have any, but have camped with A LOT of dogs! Here’s a list of things you don’t want to forget if you want a successful camp trip with the pets!

• ⬜ Stakes/lead
• ⬜ Poop bags
• ⬜ Food/water bowl
• ⬜ ID tags/Vaccination tags
• ⬜ Copies of vacs records
• ⬜ Fencing/gates

Leave in the comments any items you think I should add to these checklists!

We are seasoned camper / boon dockers. We camp for weekends, or vacations.

One of these days I will make a list of my own. I would like to shorten our loading time by being a little more organized and save time. Maybe we can take a long vacation after I retire in a few years. Maybe a snow bird one winter. I did enjoy your writing and lists. .

I would love to have your checklists! On the page for the PETS, it would be good to have recent good photos of your pet in case it runs away. and gets lost. Make sure your pet has a tag with phone number on it as well.

• The Checklist Every First Time RVer Needs

Sitting behind the wheel of your new RV comes with a lot of elation and anticipation. The open road is in front of you, and with all of the national parks and wild spaces available to explore in the U.S., there is nearly endless adventure ahead.

But of course, you’ll have to make sure you are prepared before any big trip. Having the right gear ensures safety, and will save you money and time in the long run. You don’t want to have to go out hunting for niche pieces of gear or be worried about getting lost during your journey.

We’ve created first-time RV checklist for you to read and use while packing up your RV for the first time. This list isn’t exhaustive, but should provide you with the basic items, and a few extras, for your trip.

RV Essentials

You’ll need some essential, mechanical gear that will help you stay safe on the road. Depending on the type of RV, you may need to add a few items or ignore others on this RV-first-time checklist.

• Drinking Water Hose
• Surge Protector
• Electrical Adapters
• Water Pressure Regulator
• Tire Pressure Gauge
• Emergency Road Kit
• Extra Motor Oil and Transmission Fluid
• Fire Extinguisher
• Closed bag for documents like registration, insurance, reservations, etc.

Clothing Items:

You’ll know which clothing items are best for you, but when on the road, it’s best to keep it simple and not overpack.  We’ve put together a list of clothing items that work well in the RV as well as on adventures like hiking or backpacking. Make sure to choose clothing items that are comfortable, made of high quality materials to keep you warm or cool, and are suitable for both adventure and relaxation.

• Sun protective hat
• Shoes: Chacos or Tevas, hiking boots, running shoes, etc.
• Bathing suit
• Down Jacket
• Short and long sleeve shirts
• Base layers (if backpacking)

Bedroom Items:

These bedroom items will be obvious to bring along, but it’s easy to get wrapped up in all the things you’ll need to fill your RV. These are some must-haves for your bedroom that you wont want to forget.

• Bed and sheets
• Clothes hangers

Camping Gear and Technology

Your camping and outdoor gear should reflect how you spend your days outside. Think about your favorite outdoor activities and make your gear list. Below are some basic items that apply to a variety of activities.

• Camping chair
• Outdoor grill or cook station
• Walkie talkie
• Fishing gear
• Hatchet and wood
• Small backpack for day hikes
• The Dyrt PRO
• NOAA weather radio

Games/Leisure:

After a long day of hiking or biking, you may want to spend some time relaxing and having fun with friends or family inside or outside the RV. Bring indoor and outdoor games for just that.

• Yard games (corn hole, horseshoes, etc.)

Kitchen and Cooking Supplies:

You’ll probably be spending a lot of time in the kitchen between hiking, biking or even surfing. Cooking is a great way to bring the people in your RV together. You’ll want to make sure you have the right supplies to cook and bake the things you love.

• Cutting Board
• Utensils and Cutting Knives
• Matches or a lighter
• Dish Towels
• Garbage Bags
• Paper Towels
• Camping griddle
• Pot Holders
• Reusable storage bags
• Sponge and other cleaning utensils
• Disinfecting wipes

Complete RV Checklists That Works! (For Beginners)

Checklists are the greatest, aren’t they?  They make packing and setting up before, during, and after a trip much easier.

In this post, we’ll give you 3 separate checklists.

• One for packing
• one for setting up,
• and one that lists the absolute essentials needed for a successful RV trip.

Table of Contents

Packing List Details Before We Start…

There are many items you’ll need to consider taking when packing for an RV trip.  Some of these items are RV or vehicle specific and others are just a part of everyday life.  Other items are purely for fun but are still a very necessary part of packing up for an RV trip.

I organized the RV checklists by category so you can go through each checklist in order to make sure you have everything you need.

The Vehicle and Trailer Checklist

The first checklist has all of the items you’ll definitely want to have for taking care of your vehicle and your camper.  This list includes emergency roadside items like air compressors and battery jumpers as well as the tools you’ll need to complete these tasks.

It also includes the items you’ll need to successfully set up your RV on-site and while on the road.  Forget any of these items and you may not be able to get all of the functionality from your RV.  These items include things like leveling blocks, drinking hoses, and electrical adapters.

The adapters you need will vary depending on what type of RV you have.  For example, people with a 50-amp electrical system may want to bring a 50-amp to 30-amp plug and people with a 30-amp electrical system may want to bring a 30-amp to 50-amp plug.  You may even want to bring a converter that converts these plugs to standard 15-amp electrical outlets.

Daily RV Life Checklist

The next checklist goes over the items that you’ll need on a day-to-day basis.  These items include food, water, clothing, medicine, personal hygiene items, and anything else you might use while living in your RV.

I went over the basics with these items and listed items out generically but you should make them more specific to your needs when applicable.  For example, if you take two types of medicines each day, instead of listing them as medicine, you might want to write out the name of each specific medicine so you won’t forget either one.

The same idea applies to personal hygiene items as well.  If you know you need a WaterPik or some other personal cleaning item then you’ll want to write it in under personal hygiene.  I’ll add some of these items under the Daily RV Life Checklist to give you some inspiration.

Fun RV Checklist

Not all places end up being fun.  This is especially true when it rains.  Just because you end up stopping someplace where there aren’t a lot of fun activities, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun.

I created a short RV checklist of fun items that you might want to bring to keep yourself occupied during short stays at locations without much to do or during prolonged periods of being stuck in the rain.

If you have specific games you like to play then you might want to add them underneath of games.  I’ll add some camping equipment suggestions but you may want to add your own specific camping equipment as well.

Checklist for Setting Up

The checklist for setting up will give you a step-by-step guide to setting up your RV.  It is a printable RV checklist that you can take with you to help you get set up quickly and easily.  Use it at the campsite or even while stopping for a few hours while out on the road.

Do the checklist in reverse when you want to break camp.  This checklist is short enough that you can print it out and tape it to the inside of your RV door to use as a reference.

RV Essentials Checklist

The RV essentials checklist lays out the bare minimum you need to have a successful RV trip.  Take these items and you’ll at least be able to get to your destination and set up without any trouble.

This checklist includes RV-specific items like leveling blocks, water hoses, and sewer hoses.  It also includes the very basics of everyday living like food, water, and medicine.  These are all of the items that you’ll want to double-check to make sure you have before you leave for your destination.

How to Pack for Your Next RV Trip

These lists wouldn’t be any good if you didn’t know how to pack all of the items that we just listed.  In this section, I’ll give you detailed information on how to pack everything up.  Here is what we’ll cover.

• Where to put your belongings.
• How to store your belongings.
• Securing your items.

Where to Store Your Belongings

An RV needs to be loaded appropriately for it to be safe.  For most trailers, this means that 60% of the weight should be in the front half of the RV and about 10% of this weight should be on or near the tongue of the trailer.

Because of this fact, you need to be careful where you put your gear and other items.  For example, many people store their batteries and propane tanks on the tongue of their camper.  This may not be a great idea as you might end up going over the 10% weight limit for your tongue.

To find out how much weight you have on your tongue, it may be a good idea to buy a hitch scale.  These scales help you determine how much weight you actually have loaded up at the tongue.

You have to be careful how you load your camper from side-to-side as well.  Too much weight placed on one side of the camper will increase trailer sway.  This is true for people with motorhomes as well.  You don’t want to drive a motorhome with all of the cargo loaded into one side of it.

For rear-wheel drive motorhomes, you’ll want to place the weight centered on or just in front of the rear axle.  This will help give you more traction and will improve your motorhome’s handling.

See my post on “ How to Keep Your RV from Swaying “.

How to Store Your Belongings

One great tip for storing belongings in RVs and anywhere else is to use clear containers.  Clear plastic bins give you the ability to see what’s in the bin at a glance.  Even better, if the lid for the clear bin is also clear.

You can even place smaller clear bins inside of larger ones to help keep everything organized and in one place.  I’ve even seen some larger clear bins with built-in wheels and a handle.  Bring along a thick sheet of plywood and you’ll have a ramp to roll your wheeled bin down.

Items placed in the refrigerator may need to be padded.  Soft fruits and vegetables might roll around in an RV refrigerator and we all know that bruised fruit spoils faster and doesn’t taste nearly as good as fruit that was well cared for.  Wrap your fruits and veggies in paper towels and place them securely in bags so that they don’t move around while in transit.

Securing Your Items

An item placed inside of a camper or motorhome must be properly secured.  This is especially true for dangerous kitchen items as well as fragile appliances, dishware, and camping gear.

For starters, make sure everything is in a cabinet, drawer, or bin.  Make sure items in drawers and cabinets don’t have a lot of room to move around and secure them inside when necessary.  You wouldn’t want to get to your destination only to have everything fall out of your cabinet as soon as you open it would you?

Once everything is securely in place, make sure that the drawers and cabinets will stay shut during transit.  In some cases, this may mean you have to tie the cabinets up or place straps around the drawers.  Keep them from opening up while driving and you won’t have a mess to clean up when you get to your campsite.

Other Considerations to Think About When Packing

• Dual-purpose items.

Weight Limits

Campers and motorhomes literally allow us to bring everything, including the kitchen sink.  However, there weight limits to consider when packing for an RV trip.

Your camper or motorhome will have a GVWR number that you’ll need to abide by.  This number includes the weight of your trailer or motorhome so keep this in mind as you tally up final weights to see what you can bring.

Also, keep in mind that every ounce of weight you add to your camper or motorhome will reduce your gas mileage and make your RV more difficult to travel with.  Reduce the total weight of your RV and you’ll save money as well as the environment.

Size Restrictions

An RV doesn’t have an unlimited amount of space.  Overpack and you may find yourself walking around objects in your RV all day long.  This can quickly get frustrating and it can make it more difficult for you to get to the items you actually need.

Only bring the items you’ll actually need for your trip and leave the rest at home.  Doing so will save you time, money, and a lot of frustration.  After all, you’re on vacation, why not take a break from some of your stuff?

Dual-Purpose Items

A great way to reduce the amount of gear you need to bring with you is to buy items that can serve more than one purpose.  On a very basic level, this could be a can opener that also works as a bottle opener.  Or a fork that also works as a spoon.

On a more advanced level, you might get a convection oven instead of a toaster and a microwave.  An appliance like this will save a lot of space as you’ll be able to completely eliminate the need to have two appliances.

If you need inspiration, look at ultra-light camping gear.  I have seen radios that also act as emergency beacons as well as handheld flashlights.  A tool like this turns three different pieces of gear into one.

Dual-purpose items save space, reduce weight, and reduce the total number of items you have to pack – it’s a triple win.

What NOT to Bring On Your Next RV Trip

We talked about what to bring when taking an RV trip but there are also items that you shouldn’t bring as well.  Here is a quick list of items for you to consider leaving behind.  I’ll explain the list in more detail afterward.

• Kitchen equipment.
• Pepper-spray.
• Recreational drugs.

When you first look at this list it might seem crazy not to bring food, water, and other essential items.  However, if you’re traveling across borders you may not be able to transport some of these items.  Even food needs to be discarded when traveling from the United States into Canada.

Some items can’t even legally be transported across state lines.  For example, it is technically illegal to bring alcohol purchased in one state into another state.  While you’re unlikely to get in trouble for doing so it is something you might want to consider.

If you’re traveling to another state or country, pick up your food, alcohol, and tobacco products when you get there.

Some items may not even be legal to use in some areas.  For example, people living in Colorado can legally use marijuana.  In other states, you can get put in jail for having too much of this substance on your person.  The same holds true for pepper-spray.  It is perfectly legal to carry pepper spray around with you in Pennsylvania but it is illegal to do so in New York.  If you’re traveling through New York, it might be a good idea to buy pepper spray when you get closer to your final destination.

In most cases, you’ll want to leave most of your water tank empty as well.  Driving with a full water tank puts additional strain on the holding tank and adds significantly to your RV’s weight.  Put about 5 gallons of water in each of your tanks and fill the rest up when you get close to your destination.  In most cases, you’ll be able to fill-up on-site anyway.

Finally, decide what you’re going to eat before you head out on your trip.  This will eliminate the need to take kitchen appliances and utensils that you know you will not be using on your trip.

So now you know what to bring on your next RV trip and what not to bring on your next RV trip.  Use these checklists as a guideline and refine them to meet the particular needs of your family and you’ll never forget anything again.

Understanding Your RV

The first step in packing is understanding what equipment and amenities are already built into your RV. This will determine what additional items you need to provide for cooking, sleeping, bathing and living while on the road.

If you are renting an RV, request a list of included gear from the rental company. If you own the RV, inspect all storage compartments, cabinets, closets and onboard systems to see what is available. Make sure all factory-installed equipment like stoves, refrigerators, beds, sinks, pumps, generators, and electronics are functioning properly. Identify any gaps you need to fill with your own supplies.

Being familiar with your RV model helps maximize limited storage and prevent overpacking.

Essential RV Equipment

While RVs contain many built-in systems, there is still some basic equipment every traveler needs to provide for themselves. Here are some RV essentials to include on your packing list:

• Leveling blocks  – Provides stability and prevents shifting while parked.
• Wheel chocks  – Place behind tires to prevent rolling.
• Hose and nozzle  – For hooking up to water sources and rinsing the RV exterior.
• Sewer hoses  – Needed to connect to dump stations for waste removal.
• Extension cords  – Power hookups if you’ll be without a campsite electrical supply.
• Power strip  – Wide outlets for plugging in multiple devices.
• Drinking water hose  – Food grade hose for direct potable water line hookups.
• Water pressure regulator  – Helps adjust psi levels from external water sources.
• Hitch lock  – Deter theft and stabilize trailer connection when parked.
• Covers  – Protect tires, windows, vents, and windshield from sun damage and weather.

Having this basic RV gear means you’ll be fully equipped when pulling into any campsite or boondocking location.

Packing Tips for Newbies

Packing up an RV for the first time can seem like a daunting task. It’s challenging to know how much to bring and how to organize a smaller living space on wheels. Fortunately, there are some key packing methods and tips RV veterans use to load their rigs that new RV owners can also apply for a smooth packing process. Follow this expert guidance to master RV trip preparation:

Create Detailed Packing Checklists – Make separate master packing lists for each area of the RV such as kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, storage bay, etc. Break down categories into sublists for critical gear like safety items, food, tools, first aid, clothing, bedding, entertainment and so on. Check off items as you pack. Thorough sublists help prevent forgetting something important.

Assign Designated Storage Areas – Decide what items will go in which cabinet, closet, bin or compartment. Assign kitchen goods to galley cabinets, toiletries to the bathroom, tools to the storage bay, etc. Have storage spots mapped out ahead of time for each category on your packing checklist to help load methodically.

Label All Gear – Use masking tape, sticky labels, or permanent marker to identify boxes, bags and bins holding different types of items. Write what category it contains and which RV compartment it should go in. Labels reduce unpacking confusion later when trying to find things.

Use Organizers and Packing Aids – Space is limited in an RV, so use every square inch efficiently. Pack items in organizer cubes, shelves, hanging bags and multipurpose containers to save space. Compress off-season clothing into vacuum bags. Use padded organizers to prevent shifting. Take full advantage of all storage nooks.

Load Heavy Items Low – Pack the heaviest gear like tools, canned goods, books, etc. in low cabinets, bins and floor compartments. Avoid putting heavy weights on upper shelves or in overhead areas. Concentrate heavy items in the center rather than far front or rear. Proper weight distribution contributes to RV stability.

Distribute Weight Evenly – Balancing loading evenly from side to side and front to back is crucial. Split weight concentrations across multiple bays and locations to prevent uneven lean or sway while driving. Heavier items on one side can affect handling. Check each compartment to aim for evenly balanced loads.

Keep Emergency Gear Handy – Flashlights, first aid kits, fire extinguishers and other critical emergency gear should be readily accessible, not packed away in rear compartments. Store them in quick-reach areas like beneath seats or in the front cab area. You want to be able to access emergency equipment immediately if needed, without having to unpack the entire RV.

Pack Most-Used Items Conveniently – Position items you’ll need most often during camping like cookware, outdoor chairs, tools, hiking shoes, firestarter, games, etc. right inside the doorway or in slide-outs for easy access. Less used items can go in harder-to-reach corners. Think about grab-and-go convenience when deciding where to place different supplies.

Inspect Container Securement – Make sure all gear bags, plastic bins, coolers and tubs are securely closed, latched and leakproof. Look for split seams, broken zippers and loose lids. Strap down or secure sliding items. Absorbent pads can protect against spills. Loose items rolling around while driving are dangerous projectiles.

Empty Tanks Before Departure – Drain gray and black water tanks before an extended trip to increase cargo capacity and reduce vehicle weight. Every gallon adds 8 pounds. Traveling with empty tanks allows you to pack more gear and supplies. Just locate dump stations along your route to empty tanks when needed.

Do Pre-Departure Safety Walkthrough – Before moving the RV, do a final walkthrough of the entire interior and exterior to ensure all doors, hatches, slide-outs, cabinets, drawers and compartments are securely closed and locked. Check that all appliances are off and the fridge is secured. Verify external valves and ports are closed andcapped. Doing safety checks avoids costly damage if a door swings open or any equipment shifts in transit.

Unpacking and Setting Up Checklist

You’ve reached your campsite or destination after an exciting RV road trip. Now it’s time to transition your home on wheels from travel mode to fully immersive living quarters. Setting up camp properly takes some time and steps. Follow this comprehensive RV setup checklist when arriving and parking to create the ideal mobile retreat:

Position and Level RV – Identify the ideal parking spot at your site for RV access, views, shade, etc and pull in safely. Engage the parking brake and transmission lockout for security. Evaluate terrain and use leveling jacks and blocks to stabilize and eliminate sagging. Leveling is essential for appliances to operate properly. Test levels in different spots. Proper positioning and leveling prevents shifting, swaying or rolling once parked.

Extend Slideouts – Once parked, securely extend any slide-out sections on your RV to maximize living space. Make sure exterior awnings are retracted during this process. Inspect slideout function and ensure there are no obstacles blocking full extension. Secure any slide locks once opened fully. Open windows and roof vents as well for fresh air.

Connect Utilities – After parking, hook up to site electricity, water supply, and sewer or waste connections if available. Use campground cables, your own hoses and power cords to access utilities. Connect fresh water lines and monitor tank levels. Ensure tight seals to prevent leaks. Plug into electrical supply and test outlets. Inspect utility hookups regularly during your stay.

Unpack Gear – With RV parked, unpacked camping equipment needed for the site. Set up any tents, mats, portable furniture like chairs and tables. Position grills, outdoor cookware, and other living items where desired around the site to create your ideal living area. Inflate air beds and make sure tents and shades are securely staked and anchored.

Remove Interior Securement Items – Once parked, remove any interior bins, straps, blocks or bracing used to limit shifting during travel. Reorganize any items that may have moved around. Inspect for any new interior damage that may have occurred in transit and address immediately.

Install Bath Supplies – Hang up or unpack bath towels, mats, robes and personal hygiene supplies in the bathroom/shower area so they will be handy when needed. Check under all sinks for any leaks or plumbing issues. Restock toilet paper as needed.

Make Up Beds – No need to rely on hotel linens! Make RV beds cozy and welcoming by adding your own sheets, blankets, pillows and mattress toppers packed from home. Having familiar bedding helps everyone settle in comfortably.

Pre-Cool Refrigerator – To maximize refrigerator efficiency, pre-cool the unit prior to loading with food. Turn it on early to get the interior chilled down, then load refrigerated items as the last step after everything else is set up. Group similar items together for easy access.

Connect Entertainment Systems – After parking, set up TVs, speakers, WiFi hotspots, gaming consoles and any other electronics you packed for entertainment during downtime. Position speakers, test reception, connect to campground WiFi and tune TV channels from the new location so your gadgets are ready to enjoy.

Unpack Remaining Items – With the major setup steps finished, unpack and distribute remaining clothing, food, and personal supplies into corresponding RV cabinets, closets and storage compartments. Upload any apps or digital content needed for the trip like local maps or destination guides.

Do a Walkthrough – Finally, perform an RV systems check by turning on lights, testing power outlets, running water, flushing toilets, checking appliance functions, inspecting vents etc. Look for any issues arising after transit. Do a security check ensuring windows and doors are locked. Verify external access points are closed up.

Relax and Enjoy! – Grab a beverage and relax outside to soak in the views! You’ve completed setup and transformed the RV into a comfortable home away from home. Now the real adventure begins!

Post-Trip RV Care – Steps to Reset Your Rig After a Road Trip

Completing a fabulous RV adventure doesn’t mean the work is done! Some important steps should be taken after returning home from a road trip to reset your rig for the next journey ahead. Follow this essential RV post-trip maintenance checklist:

Dump Waste Tanks – One of the first priorities is emptying the gray and black water tanks at an RV dump station after concluding your trip. This allows you to unload waste, maximize cargo capacity for the trip home, and help prevent clogs or odors in tanks. Locate nearby dump stations along your return route.

Clean Top to Bottom – Thoroughly clean the RV inside and out after a trip when it’s easier to spot any new dirt, leaks or damage. Wash the exterior, including roof, windows, wheels, and internal storage compartments. Vacuum, mop, and wipe down the entire interior from ceilings to floors. Deodorize carpets and fabrics. Throw out any leftover food and empty the fridge.

Replenish Supplies – Check inventory and restock pantry items, paper goods, cleaners, non-perishables and other supplies that got depleted on your trip. Make a list to help remember odds and ends that need replacing. Stock up on fresh items like food, water, and ice before the next excursion.

Replace Batteries – Swap out any drained batteries in smoke alarms, CO detectors, safety devices and electronics. Check battery expiration dates and swap out any that are expired, even if still working. Test detectors to confirm they are operational.

Address Mechanical Issues – Deal with any mechanical problems, equipment malfunctions or part failures that occurred on your last trip immediately to prevent bigger issues later on. Consult your owner’s manual – you may be able to fix minor items yourself. Have an RV technician inspect any problems you couldn’t address on the road.

Check Systems and Seals – Give all appliances, roof components, windows, vents, seals, doors, outlets etc a thorough inspection and test. Clean fridge coils. Inspect slide-outs for damage. Look for any water intrusion or insulation issues. Identify any parts needing replacement now to avoid having problems arise mid-trip next time.

Monitor Tires – Check tire pressure and tread depth. Look for uneven wear, cupping, cracks or damage. Rotate tires if needed. Replace tires that are beyond 5-7 years old from the manufacture date regardless of tread. Keeping tires in optimal shape is vital for safety.

Update Checklists – Review packing lists, maintenance logs, and itineraries to see if any changes are needed based on lessons learned from your last adventure. Make notes so everything is up to date for your next trip.

Organize Gear for Storage – Clean, inventory, and organize all RV equipment and belongings before stowing until needed again. Use storage bins to prevent water damage, pests or mildew during storage. Charge electronics.Performing thorough post-trip care makes preparation much smoother when exciting new adventures summon you to hit the road again soon!

• Hitch RV to the Tow Vehicle : If you have a towable RV, secure the hitch connection between your RV and tow vehicle.
• Connect the Breakaway Cable : The breakaway cable is a safety feature that activates your RV’s brakes if it ever detaches from the tow vehicle. Make sure this cable is properly connected.
• Connect the Power Cord : Ensure that the electrical cord from your RV to your tow vehicle is connected. This typically powers the RV’s brake lights and turn signals.
• Raise Stabilizer Jacks : If your RV uses stabilizer jacks, make sure to raise them off the ground before you begin moving.
• Store Leveling Blocks : If you used leveling blocks during your stay, make sure to collect them and store them in their designated location.
• Remove Wheel Chocks & Store : Remove any wheel chocks you used to prevent the RV from moving at the campsite, and store them properly.
• Check Lights on RV & Tow Vehicle : Perform a final check of all lights on both your RV and tow vehicle to ensure they’re functioning properly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid During RV Teardown

Mistakes during an RV teardown can lead to unnecessary stress and even costly repairs. Being aware of these common missteps can help you avoid them, making the process much smoother.

Rushing the Process

One of the most common mistakes RVers make is rushing through the teardown process. Speed can lead to oversights, such as leaving gear behind or failing to properly secure items inside your RV. Remember, an efficient teardown isn’t about speed; it’s about thoroughness.

Skipping the Checklist

No matter how experienced you are, forgoing a checklist is risky. It’s easy to forget a step, especially when you’re eager to hit the road. Your checklist is designed to ensure you’ve covered all bases. Use it.

Ignoring Small Repairs

Small repairs, if ignored, can turn into significant problems down the line. Address minor issues, such as leaks or even something as small as a loose screw, as part of your teardown process.

Neglecting Safety Checks

Failing to carry out essential safety checks can be dangerous. This includes not only the physical condition of your RV but also your surrounding environment. Always ensure that your campsite is left clean and you’ve extinguished any fires completely.

Tips for Efficient RV Teardown

Making your RV teardown process efficient is about more than just speed. Here are some tips to help you streamline the process without compromising safety or thoroughness.

Start Early

Giving yourself plenty of time is crucial. Starting early can reduce stress and ensure you’re not rushed.

Delegate Tasks

If you’re traveling with others, make the teardown a team effort. Delegate tasks according to each person’s strengths and ensure everyone knows their responsibilities.

Have a Logical Flow

Follow a logical flow in your teardown process. Start from the inside of your RV, secure everything, and then move to the outside. This can help prevent you from missing anything.

Stay Organized

Keep everything in its designated place. This will make packing up easier and reduce the chances of losing items.

By following these tips and avoiding common mistakes, you can ensure your RV teardown is efficient, thorough, and stress-free.

RV Pre Trip Checklist + Essential List for Your Next Adventure

Whether you’re a seasoned RVer or you’re just starting out on your RVing adventures, inevitably something is missed in preparing for a trip. We have enjoyed camping and RVing for many years. I remember when it was overwhelming, especially as a newbie. To help you have a smooth and enjoyable journey, you need a RV pre trip checklist that covers all aspects of your trip, from pre-departure preparations to on-the-road essentials.

Post Contents

Checklists Overview & Details

I have 3 major checklists for you:

• RV Essential Checklist – The list includes all the bare-bones essentials you’ll want to consider having onboard if you’re just starting out RVing.
• Glamper Checklist – I previously published an exhaustive list of gear if you want to have every base covered in more detail. (I’m revising and combining and will update this post when the new list is available here.)
• RV Pre-Trip Checklist – A thorough checklist to run through every time, from the campsite to your next adventure. (includes steps needed to dump your holding tanks)

By following these checklist items, the hassle is removed from your RV camping experience and you can focus on making memories. So, buckle up, and let’s dive in!

RV Essential Checklist

If this is your first time using an RV, you might be unsure what to pack and expect. If you’re looking for a very thorough and extensive list, I shared my glamper checklist previously.

This first RV trip checklist will guide you through the essentials and help you make the most of your maiden voyage.

Here’s a list of essential gear every RVer should pack for their first trip:

• Drinking water hose & short non-potable water hose (for cleaning sewage)
• Sewer hose and sewer hose support
• Electrical adapters and surge protectors
• RV-friendly toilet paper ( HINT – it doesn’t have to be RV-specific ) and holding tank treatment
• Leveling blocks and wheel chocks
• Tire pressure gauge and lug wrench
• Basic tool kit (including a multi-tool, screwdrivers, pliers, and a hammer)
• Flashlights and spare batteries
• Fire extinguishers and smoke, carbon monoxide, and propane detectors

2. Personal Items and Clothing

When packing for your first RV trip, you’ll need to consider the weather, the length of your trip, and the activities you’ll be doing. Here are some essentials to include:

• Clothing suitable for the climate and activities (pack layers for variable weather)
• Comfortable shoes for walking, hiking, or other outdoor activities
• Toiletries (shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, etc.)
• Prescription medications and a basic first-aid kit
• Towels and washcloths
• Bedding and pillows
• Sunscreen and insect repellent

3. Kitchen and Cooking Supplies

Your RV’s kitchen is likely smaller than what you’re used to at home, so it’s essential to pack for effeciency. Here are some kitchen essentials to bring along:

• Pots, pans, and cooking utensils (cast iron is my favorite because it’s durable. I’d definitely avoid cheap cookware that cooks unevenly)
• Plates, bowls, cups, and silverware
• Food storage containers and bags
• Paper towels
• Dish soap, sponge, and dish towels
• Non-perishable food items and ingredients for planned meals

4. Outdoor & Recreation Gear

We LOVE sitting outside our camper and enjoying the outdoors. Be sure to pack the necessary gear for your favorite activities:

• Camping chairs and a fold-up table
• Outdoor rug or mat to keep dirt outside and camper clean.
• Grill or portable stove and cooking utensils
• Cooler and ice or ice packs
• Fishing, hiking, or other sporting equipment (bikes, one wheels, scooters, etc.)
• Board games, cards, e-reader (I love my Kindle Paperwhite), crafts, etc. (or other entertainment options if the weather is not friendly.)

Glamper Checklist

We are unashamedly glampers. I think we became high-maintenance after multiple trips to overpriced camp stores while we were RVing. Some of the items on this list are over the top but at least this exhaustive list will have you covered.

For now, you can access this checklist by clicking here . If you’d like to read the post associated with this glamper checklist, you can see that here . I will be revising that so check back to see the better-organized (and prettier checklist).

RV Pre-Trip Checklist

An RV pre-trip checklist is a life-saver in making sure you’re well-prepared before hitting the road. This list covers everything you need to inspect, secure, and stow away in your RV before departure. By following this checklist, you can avoid a mess on the road or cause costly damage to your RV. I cannot tell you the number of times we were partway down the road and something went awry. We’ve learned a thing or two over the years.

Mark and divide and conquer on these tasks. He takes some of our crew to complete the exterior checks while I tackle the interior with the rest of our kids. Here are some things you should check before you shift your RV into drive.

1. Interior Checks

Before setting off, it’s essential to inspect the interior of your RV thoroughly. Here are some essential tasks to complete:

• Turn off all lights, fans, heaters, and air conditioners.
• Close and secure all windows and vents.
• Turn off the water heater and water pump.
• Prepare the refrigerator for travel by securing its contents and locking the doors.
• Stow away or tie down loose items, such as televisions, computers, and other electronics.
• Latch all interior doors and cabinets to prevent them from swinging open during transit.
• Pull in and secure any slide-outs.
• Shut off the pilot light.
• Clear counters.
• Take out the trash.

2. Exterior Checks

Our exterior checks include:

• Pull in and secure the awning, (we use zip ties to reinforce).
• Stow all outside gear and lock compartments.
• Check tires for pressure, engine fluids, & belts.
• Turn off propane at the tank, ( RVTravel has a good write-up about this much-debated step ).
• Dump holding tanks and place chemicals in the toilet.
• Fill the water tank partially with fresh water for use during travel
• Unhook the electrical line from the breaker box.
• Remove and stow chocks and lift jacks.

3. Final Walk-Around

Perform a final walk-around of your RV, double-checking everything on your pre-trip checklist. This step is crucial in catching any overlooked items or potential issues before hitting the road.

Closing Thoughts on RVing Checklists

By following these RV trip checklists, you’ll be well-prepared for some amazing RV adventures. Customize the list to suit your specific RV and personal preferences, and always double-check everything before hitting the road.

I’d very much so appreciate it if you let me know if I missed anything glaringly obvious. Happy travels!

Sponsors help keep our quality content free!

The RV industry is one of the largest industries in North America. Camping enthusiasts from all over the world purchase RVs and trailers every year, which is why the industry is booming.

However, there are SO many different RV manufacturers that produce some of the best RVs ranging in different length or weight requirements. Wondering which RV brands are out there?

We’ve compiled a complete list of RV manufacturers, brands, and types in North America (there are too many to list in the world). Let’s dive in!

Table of Contents

1. class a motorhome manufacturers, 2. class b motorhome manufacturers, 3. class c motorhome manufacturers, 4. travel trailer manufacturers, 5. toy hauler manufacturers, 6. 5th wheel manufacturers, frequently asked questions, the dyrt camping app.

Some of the features include (but aren’t limited to):

• King size beds
• Washer/Dryer
• Multiple slide outs

Most Class A RVs also come with the ability to tow a car behind the camper with a car dolly. When making your purchase decision, it’s important to remember that Class A motorhomes offer a lot, but may be overwhelming first a time RVer.

Overall, class A motorhomes can be a camper’s dream RV type and can be the perfect recreational vehicle for you!

Average Size Range: 26-45 feet

Average Weight Range: 13,000- 30,000 pounds

Manufacturers Who Offer Class A RVs:

• American Coach
• Monaco Coach
• Coachmen RV
• Entegra Coach

• Forest River RV
• Holiday Rambler

Class B motorhomes, also known as camper vans , are some of the smallest motorhomes on the market. When it comes to amenities and options the class B campers can be very basic, but still offer what you need!

Almost all Class B RVs offer your basic needs, such as a bed and storage compartments (check out our guide on RV space saving ideas to fit more into your rig), but also can come with upgraded packages that include bathrooms and kitchens! Typically, these camper vans can sleep 2-6 people depending on the size and model that you have.

This type of RV provides smaller families all the room they could need at a much lower price compared to the Class A motorhome.

Average Size Range: 17-23 feet

Average Weight Range: 4,000-9,000 pounds

Manufacturers Who Offer Class B RVs:

• Panoramic RV
• Phoenix USA
• Pleasure-Way
• Coach house
• Renegade RV
• Safari Condo
• Leisure Travel
• Thor Industries
• Midwest Automotive Design

The C lass C motorhome is your standard mid-sized camper. They’re bigger than Class B camper vans but are smaller than Class A motorhomes.

Most class C campers come with a bathroom and kitchen and are the perfect fit for someone looking to get a large motorhome that reminds you of a Class A without paying the price. Class C motorhomes have a very long history of providing well-designed floor plans and bed layouts for amazing quality and luxury camping.

Overall, Class C motorhomes are perfect recreational vehicles and are a great fit for anyone looking to upgrade their current camping vehicle for a quality RV!

When it comes to having the largest variety of campers, look no further than a travel trailer ! These trailers range from 10-40 feet which is the largest size range of any of the campers we have talked about today.

If you opt for a smaller travel trailer , it can be pulled by smaller SUVs and cars (which is something that attracts a lot of attention from first-time camper buyers). Having the ability to hook up to and haul something with a car/SUV and not needing to also purchase a truck is an added benefit of these travel trailers! Most small travel trailers don’t come with slide-outs, though!

However, the larger the travel trailer, the more amenities you’ll have (especially if you pick from new models). The more weight you have in the camper, the more you’ll need a truck to pull it.

Travel trailers are some of the highest demanded campers within the camping industry and why they are the perfect recreational vehicles. If this rig is on your list, check out our guide on the best Travel Trailer insurance quotes !

Average Size Range: 10-40 feet

Average Weight Range: 1,100-12,000 pounds

Manufacturers Who Sell Travel Trailers:

• Allen Camper
• Braxton Creek
• CrossRoads RV
• Dutchmen RV

• Gulf Stream Coaches

• Roulottes Prolite
• Travel Lite RV

• DRV Luxury Suites
• Grand Design RV
• New Horizons RV
• The RV Factory
• Winnebago Industries

Fifth-wheel trailers are the largest trailers you can tow behind a vehicle. They’re called fifth wheels because the front of the trailer extends over the rear of the truck (however, they’re not quite small enough to be considered truck campers).

The truck bed contains a hitch mechanism to connect the trailer to the truck which can make fifth wheels easier to tow due to the location of the hitch. Fifth wheels offer the size and space of a Class A RV but they also require a heavy-duty pickup truck to pull the camper with (they’re not exactly lightweight travel trailers).

This type of RV is best for someone who wants all the amenities (such as bunk beds and slide-outs) and value of a large Class A, but also wants to be able to tow it and store it when not in use.

Overall fifth wheels trailers can be the perfect fit for any beginner or experienced camper looking for a large motorhome that is also towable.

Average Size Range: 22-40 feet

Average Weight Range: 7,000-20,000 pounds

Manufacturers Who Sell Fifth Wheel Trailers:

• Allen Campers
• DVR Luxury Suites
• Keystone RV Company
• VanLeigh RV

Here are a few common questions we’re asked about RV manufacturers:

It is hard to put an exact number to this question due to the constantly expanding RV Market. As of 2022, there are currently 114 Manufacturers in the United States. Many of these manufacturers are based out of Indiana, too ( a pretty cool fun fact to know!).

Each manufacturer produces thousands of RVs every year of all different styles and classes, which is why there are so many to choose from (this is perfect for those who have the specific length or weight requirements).

It’s important to take your time when looking for the perfect fit RV for you and your family, so make sure you take a look at the many options within the RV world!

The largest RV manufacturer in the united states heading into 2022 is Forest River Inc. The company has an estimated $2.41 Billion Dollars in yearly revenue which is the largest of all RV manufacturers.

Forest River got its start on January 26, 1996, based out of Indiana. On June 28, 2005, the company reached a deal with Berkshire Hathaway for the purchase of the company. The transaction was officially finalized on August 31, 2005, and ever since then Forest River Inc. continued to grow and eventually became one of the largest RV manufacturers in the United States!

When asked, most people refer to Jayco as the best RV manufacturer brand. They’re consistent, provide high-quality RVs, and have an excellent customer support team. Founded in 1968, Jayco is currently one of the largest manufacturers in the United States. Jayco’s main factory and headquarters are located in Middlebury, Indiana but there are tons of locations around the USA.

Overall, whichever RV manufacturer you choose you’re sure to get a high-quality motorhome.

Rv newbie: setup checklist.

When we’re between seasons, it’s the perfect time to focus on creating highly requested videos. Now that we have over 100,000 miles of RVing experience, it was time to update our RV Setup checklist. This video covers the RV basics of setting up in an RV site, but it’s not designed to cover every detail. Rather, we wanted to draw attention to the required steps that must be done in order to set up safely.

What I learned from the comments ????

We create these videos to be helpful and teach but as always, we learn so much from the community. Below are some recommendations that should have been mentioned. We’ll add more as we learn more!

• Check to make sure the electrical and water are working before disconnecting. That will save you from having to reconnect and move sites (good tip!)
• The chocks are the last things to take off and the first things to put on, so keep them at the door to make it harder to forget.
• After connecting the surge protector to the panel to ensure the proper lights, turn the panel off and connect the power cord to your RV. Then turn the panel back on. 
• Putting the filter on the RV side may filter any bacteria in the hose from sitting in the sun.
• I used to have a 90 degree elbow to connect the water and put less strain on the RV connection, but I haven’t replaced it yet. It’s a good thing to have.

**This checklist is designed for a travel trailer and may not be complete for your rig. Your RV may have other steps necessary to ensure the safety of you and your equipment.

Thank you for the list.

Thank You for Guidance. My wife and I are just now shopping for a trailer i have 2016 Ford Expedition, factory ready for towing. How can we learn about quality trailer manufacturers. There Are so many, some with major brand names, others we are not familiar with. We would like to have a quality unit. We prefer a unit within a interior the dimention of 25 to 30′ for the 2 of us with one to to slide outs. Your followers from Mesa, AZ

April 20, 2019 at 5:30 am

In our search (mainly my wife) we found that many manufactures have forums. We also went to independent travel trailer repair / supply stores and would inquire about different manufactures. We were fortunate to find an individual that refurbishes trailers and assisted us with our quest. We did purchase a used trailer similar to your requirements; 27RKSS which is 33.5′ total length. One warning! Although extremely pleased and blessed with our first trailer; we discovered that it is a little bit too much for our 1/2 ton (GMC Sierrra w/ heavy duty tow package). Although we were about 3500 shy of the GMC’s towing capacity; in the hills of the Ozarks we really felt the truck struggle. We are planning longer trips so out west so we upgraded to a 3/4 ton truck.

December 3, 2018 at 1:15 pm

Thank you for the newbie setup video. I really like the no kink 50′ hose. I don’t see that hose referenced on your Amazon list. Please share the brand of the hose Thanks Tom

November 15, 2019 at 4:13 am

Same! Could you share a link to the no kink hose?

November 17, 2019 at 6:19 pm

April 20, 2019 at 5:31 am

May 30, 2019 at 3:37 pm

We are first time RVers and your RV Newbie Set Up Video and Checklist are the best!

Question: can the regulator be attached to water source before the the y-splitter?

June 6, 2019 at 11:43 pm

My wife and I just bought our first RV a week ago. I stumbled across your videos on YouTube and I just wanted to say “Thank You” for all the great videos for newbies !!! You two Rock !!!

June 13, 2019 at 2:09 pm

Question! Is that hose good for drinking water?

September 18, 2019 at 5:23 pm

Hi there: This setup checklist is simple and perfect! Do you have one written for when it’s time to head out?

September 18, 2019 at 5:35 pm

Nevermind: I found it! Fantastic! I figured out to search using “tear down”. Thanks!

September 30, 2019 at 2:21 pm

I’m pretty sure you can download it on the blog. Link in the video description.

October 8, 2019 at 1:24 pm

Thank you for Newbie lists. Much appreciated.

February 23, 2020 at 5:36 am

My husband and I just found you all about two weeks ago and have become addicted as we watch you while shopping for a used rig on-line. Hope to gut an older model (we like that kind of thing…) and hit the road in 2021.

July 9, 2020 at 7:10 pm

what TPMS system do you recommend?

July 12, 2020 at 5:38 pm

we are waiting to get our Trailer. We have been scouring the Interwebs watching all sorts of Travel Trailer videos. We really enjoy and appreciate what you put out. Thank you

August 12, 2020 at 6:15 pm

I didn’t see any reference to the hot water heater on the setup checklist. Is that not an essential item?

January 6, 2021 at 12:18 am

shouldn’t you level the trailer side to side before disconnecting it? Thanks for the helpful videos.

January 6, 2021 at 12:24 am

Just a thought: 3A should be level the trailer side to side before un hooking. Thanks for the fantastic videos.

February 4, 2021 at 11:24 pm

We are renting our first trailer in 3 weeks. I saw you You Tube video for Newbies and have watched it twice; downloaded the checklist and made notes from the gear list. We are going from the Houston area to Big Bend State Park. Will let y’all know how we made out. we will rent for a year or so to be sure we want to buy our own, then if no catastrophes, we will probably buy. Thanks for your help.

February 14, 2021 at 5:41 pm

I really like your FB page, and find it very useful. Although I had a toyhauler TT a while back, I still consider myself a newby, especially since I will start full-timing in the near future.

I found this site because I was looking for a campground setup checklist. I really like the list you have, it helped immensely in building one for my use. I just so happen to have a gooseneck toyhauler, so modified it to meet what I hope are my specific needs. There are some things on here many will not need but Some may. I added checking the power pedestal as one of the first items. Wouldn’t want to backtrack too much it it’s jacked up. Feel free!

Upon Arrival Check to make sure you can reach the water & electrical connections Check to make sure slide(s) have enough room to clear obstacles Check for good, clean power at pedestal. Make sure circuit breaker is off, connect surge protector, and turn breaker on. If surge protector shows good, turn breaker off. If power is unacceptable, contact management Level RV side to side Chock tires Use landing gear to raise trailer from hitch. Watch for side to side shifting Disconnect 7-way connector from tow vehicle Disconnect camera cable from tow vehicle Disconnect safety chains Pull tow vehicle from under trailer Outside Setup Level trailer front to back Connect power cable to surge protector. Turn pedestal circuit breaker on Connect all filters and water hoses. Turn on spigot Connect sewer hose Inside Setup Check for obstacles before deploying slide(s) Deploy slide(s) Check for any loose items that may have been jostled during transit. CLEAN IT UP!

February 23, 2021 at 8:41 pm

We LOVE your videos! We are SUPER RV Newbies and your videos have been such a huge help to us! Thank you so much for your videos. Please keep them coming!

April 24, 2021 at 9:58 pm

we have our first RV Trailer after tent-camping for YEARS. IT is so overwhelming Still sitting in our driveway We hope to get over the first time jitters and actually take it out. Have to figure out how to de-winterize it first. ugh

May 18, 2021 at 12:35 am

Surfing the net looking for a simple set up checklist. And of course the one I immediately liked best was from you guys!!! Thanks for the list and for videos that make learning fun and inspirational. Safe travels and happy camping.

May 19, 2021 at 9:28 pm

We love your checklists and have used them faithfully for 2 years. However, we’ve found we need to add/change some things here & there. Is there any way your checklists can be edited?

August 21, 2022 at 11:29 pm

Export KYD List as a pdf and save to your computer. Open it in a pdf editor.. I like Adobe if you don’t have one (they allow you to modify almost any document, and fill and sign forms digitally!). Edit the list at will, save and print. Update it as often as you need.

July 9, 2023 at 2:54 pm

This is a great checklist for RV newbies!

July 11, 2023 at 10:28 am

April 18, 2024 at 10:54 am

If you’re looking for the freedom and sense of adventure that a motorhome provides but want the mobility of a car, then you should consider a camper van.

Camper vans are an attractive option given that they are compact, rugged, and can be as equipped as you need. You can go pretty much anywhere a car can go and get better gas mileage than bigger RVs.

They come in a variety of sizes and configurations depending on their purpose.

Some are designed for weekend travel, while others can accommodate simple full-time living. Some are for campgrounds, and others for boondocking. Some are cheap, and others are shockingly expensive!

(Curious what a $500,000 camper van entails? See at the end of the list!)

How Do You Choose the Right Camper Van?

Like other RV classes, there are many options for camper vans on the market. Perhaps too many. That's why we're highlighting the best ones.

Choosing the best camper van for you depends on your travel plans, as well as the following considerations:

• Your Budget
• Size to accommodate your gear and passengers
• Drivetrain (2-wheel, 4-wheel, or all-wheel drive)
• Diesel vs. gasoline
• Service history and mileage (if buying used)
• Weekender vs. Fulltime

The following list of 2024 best camper vans gives you a range of the above features.

The Best Camper Vans 2024

Based on our experience, many visits to RV shows, and other campers, we’ve compiled a list of the best camper vans for you to check out this year.

You'll find camper vans that are tried-and-true, as well as new models that are catching the attention of RVers everywhere.

The following are listed in no particular order, as the “best” depends on your individual needs and wants. But this shortlist will help you determine which camper van is best for you.

1. Grech STRADA-ion

The STRADA-ion is Grech's flagship Sprinter Motorhome. It's a luxury Class B with an advanced lithium-ion battery energy storage system. It provides a total of 1,260Ah, which will run the AC for up to 12 hours on battery power alone.

It has a 280-amp alternator that charges the lithium-ion batteries from idle , meaning you don't have to drive to charge your batteries. The battery management software pairs with its Fire Fly control system, which you can operate from your phone.

The 2024 Grech RV Strada is built on the all-new 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter AWD. with air suspension.

It's 24 feet long and sleeps 2. It comes in 2 floorplans, the Lounge Plan and Tour Plan. The biggest difference between the two is that the Lounge Plan seats up to 9, whereas the Tour Plan “only” seats 7. I put “only” in quotations because 7 is a lot of people!

And all seats have seat belts! Many campervans can “seat” several guests, but only provide seatbelts for 2-4. The Stradia provides a safer alternative for all of your travel companions.

MSRP starts at $259,900.

2. Embassy RV Dolphin SL

The Embassy Dolphin SL is known for its revolutionary floor plan that allows for two separate sleeping areas . That means a person can stay awake or wake up early and not disturb the person who's sleeping!

This separate sleeping arrangement also makes it popular among single parents, traveling friends, and traveling business partners. And, speaking of work, the rear bed platform converts into a table-height desk.

It's 22'2″ long and built on a Ford Transit Chassis. The kitchen and bathroom separate the front living/sleeping area from the rear bedroom. Your usable space can be extended with an optional rear porch with tent.

The Dolphin SL has a lithium-ion battery system. It doesn't come with solar, but the system can be fully charged by the engine. You can add a battery management system with Bluetooth™ connectivity as an option.

Unfortunately, Embassy doesn't list MSRP, but it likely starts in the $150,000 – $175,000 range. So, you have to call to get a quote for your desired floorplan and options.

The No Wood RV = Mold & Mildew Resistant (Video)

BUT! Perhaps the most NOTABLE FEATURE of the latest Dolphin SL RV Model is that it's a No Wood RV. It's made of composite material that makes it mold and mildew-resistant .

That's excellent news for RVers in wet or tropical climates. (Hear that Florida snowbirds?!)

3. Roadtrek Pivot

The Roadtrek Pivot is 20'9″ long and built on a RAM Promaster 3500 chassis. It comfortably seats 4 and sleeps 3 with an optional folding mattress.

It has two different bed setup options: two twin beds or one king bed. The optional single folding mattress can be laid across the front two captain seats.

A popular feature is its Duo Space bathroom , which comes standard. It has a pivoting wall that creates a separate showering area and keeps the other amenities dry. They market it as the “driest wet bath ever.”

It also has an outdoor shower and rear access doors. So, you can open the side sliding door and rear swing doors for an open indoor/outdoor setup.

It comes standard with a 13′ power awning, 600 AMP lithium battery system, generator, 300-watt solar panels, and 12/100 V power inverter.

MSRP starts at $183,386.

4. Roadtrek Chase

We've owned a couple Roadtreks, so it's no surprise another model makes it on the list. The Chase is one of the most affordable on the list with it's simple, efficient design.

The Chase is 20'9″ and built on the Ram ProMaster 3500 extended van chassis. It can seat 4 and sleep 3 with an optional folding mattress that lays over the cab seats.

It has a 300W solar panel and 600 amp lithium battery system. Some other nice standard features include a 13′ power awning, 11,000 BTU A/C, and heavy duty magnetic bug screens for rear and passenger sliding door.

MSRP is $176,386.

5. Coachmen Galleria Li3

The Coachmen Galleria is 24'3″ long and built on the award-winning 3500 Mercedes Sprinter extended platform. We toured it and took the above picture at the Florida RV SuperShow.

It has four floorplan options , including one option (24A) with a fixed bed and power incline storage underneath. Its kitchen is on the bigger side, including a 7.3 cu. ft. refrigerator with pull-out freezer in the 24A and 24FL floor plans.

Standard features include an Onan quiet generator, 330W solar, and a standard 330 Ah AGM battery with 2,000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter.

But you'll notice that we specifically listed the Galleria Li3 . This is an upgraded option for a 630 Ah Li3 lithium battery that we think makes it one of the best camper vans. (The model pictured above is an Li3).

Coachmen doesn't list the MSRP, but it likely starts around $250,000. You'd need to contact a local dealer to learn more.

6. Coachmen Beyond

Coachment earns another spot on the list with the Beyond. We toured it and took the above picture at the Florida RV SuperShow.

At 22'2 “, it's two feet shorter and gets 1 mpg better gas mileage than the Galleria. It's built on the Ford Transit AWD chassis with a 3.5L EcoBoost engine and 10-speed transmission.

The Beyond has three floorplan options , including the 22RB that has a rear wet bath with a flip-down sink and shower. This roomier bathroom makes it a popular choice.

Some standard features include a 2.8KW gasoline generator, 195W solar panel with dual charging capabilities, and a 2,000W Xantrex inverter with auto-gen start. Like the Galleria, you can opt for the Li3 Lithium Battery System, among other nice upgrade options.

Coachmen doesn't list the MSRP, but it likely starts around $200,000. You'd need to contact a local dealer to learn more.

7. Coachmen Nova

That's right, Coachmen has a third model that makes our list of the best camper vans. The Nova (as the name implies) is the newest member of the Coachmen Class B family.

The Nova is 20'11” and has three floorplans to choose from. Like the Beyond, it has a floorplan option with a rear bath (20RB).

It's built on the Ram Pro Master 3500 extended Chassis with a 3.6L V6 engine. It comes standard with 220W solar and 3 Group 31 115AH AGM Batteries.

Like the other two Coachmen on this list, you can opt for the Li3 Lithium Battery System. A unique option the Nova offers is a Pop Top with a 190W solar panel, skylight, and Thule awning.

Again, Coachmen doesn't list the MSRP, but it likely starts around $175,000. You'd need to contact a local dealer to learn more.

8. Thor Tellaro

The Tellaro from Thor is one of the most affordable camper vans on this list. It features many of the same functionalities as their Sequence model, except the Tellaro is available with a pop-top.

The Tellaro is 21′ long, and without the pop-top, sleeps two people. It's available in 4 floorplans, so you have lots of choices with this one. We particularly like the 20A floorplan that gives you a sky bunk option in addition to a rear bedroom.

Standard equipment includes a Thule bike rack, 190-watt solar panel, dual 100-Ah lithium house batteries, power awning, and a power-saver AC system. This model features the same generator you’ll find in the Solis, as well as a similar bathroom.

The Tellaro, however, does have a few advantages over the Winnebago Solis. For example, it has a bigger dining table and refrigerator, extended storage space, and a powered awning.

Tellaro MSRP starts at $140,560, depending on the floorplan you select. The 20A floorplan that we like starts at $144,760.

9. 4X4 Tiffin GH1

The GH1 is the new Tiffin 4×4 AWD vehicle, replacing the Tiffin Cahaba. It's a small but mighty camper van that seats 4 and sleeps 2.

The overall length is 19'6″ long and built on a Mercedes 2500 Sprinter chassis with a 3.0L turbo diesel engine.

It has on-board 200-watt solar panel, and a 540-Amp Hour Lithium-Ion Battery Kit with a 3,000-Watt Inverter. It's pre-wired for optional Starlink Pro and its 15,000-BTU A/C has soft-start and WirelessCapability.

The sleek design includes all-metal running boards, a fixed and side-mounted roof access ladder, and a powered awning. Another cool feature is its on-board air compressor.

Tiffin doesn't list the MSRP, but it likely starts around $180,000. Contact a local dealer to learn more.

10. Winnebago Travato

The Travato from Winnebago is one of the top-selling camper vans in North America. At 21’, it sleeps 2 and seats 4.

It has 2 floorplans, one with a single large Murphy+bed (59G) and the other with two single beds (59K). Both floor plans are available in either AGM batteries/generator or lithium with a second under-the-hood alternator (59GL and 59KL).

It's built on a Ram ProMaster chassis with a 3.6L V6 engine.

Roof and sidewall insulation, heated tanks and available dual-pane acrylic insulated windows extend the camping season. We love winter camping, and even wrote an ebook for those who want to give it a try.

The Travato features a Pure 3  Advanced Energy System that provides more than 9,000 useable watt-hours of power. You can boost that to over 12,000 with their optional 4-module energy pack.

The 4 floorplans range from $175,292 to $210,515.

Winnebago also offers a 4-sleeper floorplan with the Solix 59PX . It starts at $152,169.

11. Winnebago Revel

Winnebao earns another spot on the list with the Revel. It's now built on the AWD Mercedes-Benz® Sprinter chassis with a 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine.

The Revel is 19'7″, sleeps 2, and seats 4. It comes with one 320-amp hour LiFePO 4  battery you can monitor via Bluetooth. ®  Plus, a quiet, Hydronic Heating System.

The Revel's most notable feature that sets it apart from others is its power lift bed with large gear garage below. It gives you extra gear storage without sacrificing sleeping space. We also like the fold-down outside table.

MSRP is $223,495, which we think is reasonable for this compact RV that fits a lot of gear.

12. Pleasure-Way Plateau FL

The Plateau FL is 22'9″ long and built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 van chassis. It has a 3.0L V6 BlueTEC diesel engine.

It has two separate living areas with an electric sofa that coverts to a queen bed in the back and a lounge area in the front. This setup allows two people to easily enjoy “Me Time” with separate TVs and sitting areas.

The front lounge also has a multifunctional workstation. And the gallery kitchen has more counterspace than you often see in camper vans.

The Plateau FL has Dual 100Ah lithium batteries, a 2000-watt pure-sine wave inverter, and an Onan generator.

MSRP is $204,750.

13. Airstream Rangeline

The Airstream Rangeline is 21′ long and is built on the RAM ProMaster 3500 chassis. It has a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine.

It has a simple, efficient floorplan with a rear sleeping area for 2 and seat capacity for 4. You can expand the living and sleeping space with an optional pop-top.

It comes standard with a single 270Ah Deep Cycle Lithium Battle Born Battery (LiFePO4), 100 amp charger, a 2,000 watt power inverter, and a 200 watt solar panel.

It may not have as many bells and whistles as other camper vans, but it's very practical and comfortable. Plus, it's one of the most affordable options.

Pricing starts at $147,570.

14. Airstream Interstate

The Airstream Interstate comes in 6 models and two sizes: 19′ and 24′. You get lots of options, especially when it comes to how many people it can accommodate.

The 19-foot models sleep 2 and seat 4, but the 24-foot models can sleep two and seat up to 9 people! It's hard to go into detail about the features and floor plans, because you have so many options.

But Airstream lives up to its iconic name with all six models. So, they're worth checking out individually. The image above is the largest, most expensive of the bunch.

MSRP ranges from $178,640 to $246,351.

15. Entegra Coach Launch

The Entegra Coach Launch is 19'6″ long and is built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 4×4 van chassis. It has a 2.0L 4-cylinder diesel engine.

The interior includes a generous garage space in the rear with a drop-down bed. It can sleep 2 and seat 3 in a small yet functional living area.

On the exterior, it has a fold-down exterior table, a double roof rack, and a moveable roof ladder. New for 2024, is its integrated Starlink Satellite Internet System.

It comes standard with a 48V 210Ah smart lithium battery that provides 10KWh of power. It also has a 3,500W inverter and 200W solar panels.

The Entegra Coach website has a Build & Price feature, which shows the basic MSRP at $246,375.

16. Westfalia Wave

Twenty years after leaving the American market, the Italian RV company, Westfalia, returns to our shores. Westfalia campers are best known for their pop-up roofs, but they are also introducing a brand-new model called the Wave .

The Wave is 20′-9″ on a Dodge Promaster chassis. It has a complete bathroom, kitchen, and versatile sleeping options for up to 6 people. Yes, this campervan can sleep up to six people!

Their patented convertible passenger seating flips down over the driver's area to create a third bed. That's in addition to the pop-top bed that's perfect for kids and the larger bed options in the back. Of course, 6 adults would be pushing it, but it's a great option for families with small kids or teens.

Other notable features include:

• Modern natural tones
• Rear, under-bed trunk that can fit mountain bikes
• Pass-through storage that can fit long gear, like paddle boards
• Cassette toilet in wet bath (yes, it has a shower!)
• Propane cooktop, microwave oven, and Vitrifrigo Refrigerator
• 600-amp hours of lithium batteries & 3,000-watt inverter
• Firefly tablet-style multiplex system

We got to tour it at this year's RV SuperShow in Tampa, and were impressed. They list two Florida RV dealers on their American website and include MSRP, so it seems like they are officially available*!

The non-pop top Wave MSRP is $156,627. The Wave Pop Top MSRP is $167,616.

*It's rather common at RV shows for European models to be showcased and promoted as “coming to America” without any substance backing that up. They attract a lot of hype at RV shows , but then you never see these RVs actually make it onto American roads.

So, it's reassuring that Westfalia already has an established and growing dealership network. Pro Tip: Be sure to ask about FIRM delivery dates. If the best they can offer is “available soon,” consider holding off.

17. The Advanced RV Van

Rounding out our list of the best Cass B RVs for 2022 are the custom vans built by Advanced RV of Willoughby, Ohio.

They are not for everyone because of the cost. They even clearly state in their FAQs that “an ARV will cost 2-4 times more than a factory-built, class B motorhome purchased from a dealer.” They're very possibly the most expensive campervan on the market.

These vans – built on the Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis – are completely customized to the customer. Each one is built with features and a floor plan personally selected by the buyer after several days of planning with Advanced RV engineers and designers.

No two Advanced RV vans are alike, and each is named by the customer. From the time the order is submitted to the time it is delivered – usually a year-long process – it is referred to by that name and never a number. 

The vans typically have massive lithium battery power supplies, high-end, computer-controlled air suspension systems for smooth rides, handcrafted cabinetry, deluxe entertainment systems, and innovative components like recirculating water systems.

The vans start at about $340,000 and go up to around $500,000.

I told you these were not for everyone. But in a list of the best Class B RVs, Advanced RV has to be included. They truly are quality designs.

It is worth noting that they have Pre-Owned ARVs for sale on their website, as well. You don't get to fully customize it, but you do get a customized van at a better price.

Here's a video tour we did of the factory to give you an idea of the process.

Appreciate the recommendation. Let me try it out.

These are all great but I am telling you I own a 1998 Chinook and it just blows all of these out of the water. Just a lot more room. 4 people can comfortably play cards around the resturant like booth and table. My advise is buy a mint one for 20k and spend 10k updating all the electronics. Only downside is I am 5-9 200lbs, not very big, but I have trouble wiping my butt in the little wet bath. Hey, I didn’t buy it for the pooper anyway but it is good enough. Just dont eat a lot of donuts.

Mike, I was surprised you did not have the Pleasureway Ontour 2.0 and 2.2 in your list. These are some of the most sought after vans in the country. I have an Ontour 2.2 and this coach is amazing. From the Ford eco boost engine to the large bathroom it is close to the perfect B. This doesn’t take into account the customer service Pleasureway is known for. I am 6ft 4in and about 280lbs and it is the only B van than is comfortable for someone my size.

I own a Grech 2022 Turismo Ion RV and the Grech build is teriffic. All A1 construction. But you referred to the company as “Gretch.” There is no “T” in the name. The people at the factory are very friendly and they welcome you if you have any problems.

Oh no – thank you for pointing out this typo! Team RV Lifestyle

January 25, 2024at11:07 am , Warren Gress said:

Great summary! I did notice you mentioned the Travato has 4 floor plans. They have 4 trim levels, but only a G and K floor plan, available in either AGM batteries/generator or lithium with a second under the hood alternator.

January 25, 2024at4:20 pm , Team RV Lifestyle said:

Great catch – we clarified the copy – thanks, Warren! Team RV Lifestyle

Just an FYI: The Pleasure-Way Plateau is on a 3500 Mercedes Benz Sprinter van, not a 2500.

We own a 2018 Pleasure-Way XLTS, the larger B+ van, they currently don’t make them (too bad, it’s great!) and we love it! We looked at several others and felt the quality of Pleasure-Way was better than some on your list that you’ve rated higher, but that’s our opinion.

May 17, 2023at4:41 pm , Team RV Lifestyle said:

Pleasure-Way makes a great van, for sure! Team RV Lifestyle

Great list! I recently did 2 road trips, 1 in a Winnebago Solis in the States and 1 in a brand new VW T6.1 California in Portugal. The ‘Winnie’ was pretty good but it’s a big sloppy thing, driving it just isn’t much fun and we had a bunch of issues with it form the start… Not Ideal…

The 2nd trip was much different. Portugal is incredible and I was blown away by the level of quality in the VW camper. The fit and finish was really nice and tight. If anyone is heading out that way check out the company, Siesta Campers, I think they’re really onto something special there. Enjoy the ride.

Hi Roger, is this still available? Does it have a toilet? Thanks, Joel

July 10, 2021at11:06 pm , ROGER REINER said:

Yes, everything works, but the shower is not currently hooked up. That’s the way it was when we bought it, but we did have it checked out and it does work, but needs to be re-connected. We never needed it so have not done so yet.

June 15, 2021at2:48 am , Betty Brunson said:

Very interested in your van. Where are you located?

June 17, 2021at11:57 am , Roger said:

Western SD, near Rapid City, Sturgis, Mount Rushmore, etc.

February 15, 2021at10:11 am , ZX Macman said:

I understand the Winnebago Travato is the No. 1 selling camper van but you never mention it.

January 24, 2021at12:16 pm , alan schroepfer said:

Looking for a short 17′ solid high-top B motorhome like the old Roadtrek 170. Todays “short” advertised B’s .are at least 19′. Revel’s Mercedes is too expensive. I’ve called the major B manufacturers and as of January 2021 no USA builder plans to meet this market. Is there a European product like this being sold and available in the lower 48?

June 14, 2021at5:24 pm , ROGER REINER said:

We have a 1990 Ford E-250 fully self-contained. Shower works but is not hooked up. Few minor dings and repairs. We bought this as a basket case and then had nearly everything repaired so it all works fine now, I think. Has new Michelin tires, new computer, many other things. Microwave, fridge, TV, 2-burner stove, Onan 2800 generator, Comfortably sleeps 3 adults or maybe two adults, two children. Respond with ph# or email and I can provide pics and other details. We don’t need to sell but will as both of us are facing health issues. ~est. $20,000 or so.

June 14, 2021at5:42 pm , Roger said:

Forgot to mention this is a factory Ford 190 Falcon. Mileage is 99435. No leaks on vehicle or engine, trans, etc., all 3 new fuel pumps, both batteries replaced, tranny flushed, inverter plate replaced, full tune-up, manual awning works fine, AC/heater work good, plus several other minor things done and a few yet to be including a few cosmetic things. Currently winterized.

June 16, 2021at4:23 pm , ROGER REINER said:

Forgot to mention it has a heavy duty hitch as well. We debugged this a few years ago on a 3000 mile round trip to the Mojave desert in S. CA. — you can try to reach me at rushcard1 which is registered under yahoo.com using the at sign — the generator is actually a 2.8 KW Onan and looks new — thanks.

January 21, 2021at9:22 am , Maureen Collind said:

What about the Recon and Metris camper vans? How do you rate them?

January 19, 2021at12:41 pm , Mark said:

All units listed, except the Revel, have a Truma heating system onboard. Focus on reliability and comfort from these OEMs is clear from their selection of systems on board.

January 19, 2021at9:30 am , Doug said:

No AC or generator on the Solis 59P

January 19, 2021at2:34 pm , Amy Delpiere said:

You’re right Doug. I noticed that also. My understanding is that you need to upgrade to the PX to get enough space on the roof for an AC unit. The small bathroom size may be a deal-breaker for my husband, but I still like the Solis a lot.

January 19, 2021at9:02 am , Anne said:

After many years of searching, I found the Panoramic- built in Quebec Canada. As soon as I walked in, I knew it was the one. Quality is better than all others, in my opinion.

January 19, 2021at8:50 am , richard said:

Coach House Arriva. Same size as the Airstream, equally high-end finishes, and a dry bath!

January 19, 2021at8:49 am , Marsha said:

So sad you don’t even mention Roadtrek anymore….

January 19, 2021at12:34 pm , Pamela Forman said:

It is, isn’t it. Probably sorry they don’t have one anymore!

July 18, 2021at2:31 pm , Joni said:

Since I have one. Roadtrek would probably be my number 1 choice.
