If you've got 2 cell phones, you don't really need walkie-talkies.

Walkie talkies bring back a primitive time for me when I didnt have to worry much about where I was, if they got wet, touch screen issues, and batteries. They stay

You don't need RV toilet paper, just septic safe. Angel soft has worked fine in both our trailers for the past 4 years.

Ok, Lindalees818, I am looking at your list, which is very similar to mine. Two questions. Noodle for awning? What do you use it for? Interested in flea collar for bees. Never heard of that one. How does it work? May have to use it for our front porch. Wasps build nests in the light fixtures.

I love this site.

lol If your awning braces are small enough, you can slice the pool noodle down the middle (but not all the way through) and slide it on the braces so no one gets hurt if they run into it. Click image for larger version

I read where you can put a flea collar in your underneath storage space to keep bees from nesting in there. Thought it would be worth a try.
I realized on my list that some of the words were missing too, any more questions feel free to ask!

I've found a plug in voltmeter indispensible for monitoring not only my load but, most importantly, what's available from the post in the CG. If you can't get 120 at the post in the heat of summer when everybody else is running AC you will run out of current quick

Man the list sure got long for a first time RVer and trip. I'd do a few trips with the essentials before I'd invest in all that has been listed. What happens you don't like to camp. Later RJD

Majority of the places we camp have no cell service. We don't use walkie-talkies either. I prefer visual contact with hand signals.

Good morning or day!

Since picking up the TT on Thursday, we have been enjoying the RV life! We have been meeting wonderful people and the staff here at park. Getting ready to start the load out and we will be heading down the highway! Thank you all for the great suggestions and tips. I'll post a more in-depth summation once we are home.
