Camper Supplies and Parts you'll need for your Emergency Kit

You’re probably already aware of the fact that you need to pack an emergency kit whenever you are traveling, especially during the winter. When that travel involves an RV, you’ll need a few extra items that wouldn’t be necessary if you were traveling by automobile. Here are some camper supplies and parts that should be included in your RV emergency kit in order to ensure you are prepared for any situation that arises.

Basic Necessities

Your emergency kit should contain some of the basic items that would be needed in your car. A few of these things include:

• Drinking water
• Non-perishable food
• Manual can opener
• Flashlight with extra batteries or a lantern.
• Warning triangles/road flares
• Fully charged cell phone, the PowerQube is a great way to make sure your phone is always charged. 
• Waterproof matches for starting a fire to keep warm.
• Fire extinguisher
• Blankets and extra clothing, an emergency blanket would also work great.
• Kitty litter or sand for traction if you get stuck somewhere. 
• Folding shovel
• First-Aid kit 

RV Repair Items

You’ll also need some extra items on hand in order to make performing simple repairs on your recreational vehicle easy to do. A few things you should have readily available include:

• Wheel chocks to keep your RV from rolling away.
• Hose repair kit with tape
• Emergency tire repair kit, like fix a flat or plugs. 
• Jumper cables or mPower Jumpstarter
• Duct and electrical tape
• Extra fuses
• Basic tools including lug wrench, hammer, screw driver, etc...
• High lift jack
• Tow chain or strap

Although not required, you may want to have some additional items on hand just in case you find yourself needing an extended stay at an RV park while waiting for parts to arrive or waiting on a tow truck on the side of the road. For example, having a few lanterns and some games, like dominos on hand can help you pass the time while you are waiting.
