RV accessories list:
1. Awnings: Van awnings can extend your living space to the outside of your vehicle. You can sit here and enjoy the scenery while escaping the sun and rain. The awning can be fixedly mounted to the roof rack, the wall or the roof. You can look for an awning that is custom-made for your specific car model.
2. Bicycle rack: If you need to load multiple bicycles behind the RV, you can choose a bicycle rack specially designed for RVs. It doesn’t matter if your RV has its own garage to store the bike rack, or if you want to load the bike rack into the back of the vehicle.
3. Locks: You’ll likely keep a lot of valuables in your RV, so it’s important to keep your items safe. RV locks enhance security

4. Leveler: These tools are often overlooked, but they are very useful and can be used to level the vehicle. This may not seem important, but if your RV is parked on uneven ground, it can prevent you from sleeping, cooking, and your refrigerator may not work properly!
Be sure to choose the appropriate accessories based on your vehicle brand. For levelers, I recommend Aomosur. AOMOSUR is the world’s leading manufacturer of RV levelers. We aim to provide the best camper RV leveling systems & stabilization solutions for the RV travel enthusiasts.

Plan travel routes

1.Plan the overall route: Where is your final destination? Where would you like to pass along the way?

2.Book an overnight stay at a campground or RV park: Check user reviews on their website to make sure they can accommodate an RV of your size. It’s best to book in advance, otherwise finding a place to stay overnight will be a rush, and during peak demand periods, popular spots may be fully booked.

3.Find some backup spots along the way as a last resort: some chain stores or gas stations allow RVs to be parked overnight. Identify a few such places along your intended route in case you don’t arrive at your intended destination on time.

4.Plan the route according to the power situation: The power of the RV is not inexhaustible. You need to plan your route properly to ensure that you have enough power available before you reach the next charging station. If you’re in the middle of nowhere without electricity, you’ll want to conserve electricity.
