There are so many things to know and consider after your RV,Trailer or Caravan purchase. As a New RV owner you’re probably a little overwhelmed. I can promise you that it all gets better really quickly. Hopefully this helps you. The trick for us was how to prioritize our budget so so we got the most important items first, and when we could afford them get the more luxury convenience items.

We have tried to get us much as we could so there is as little pre-packing involved. The idea being that in very little time we’d be able to hook up and leave without having to move stuff from the house to the trailer and back again once we get home. While this isn’t a big deal it is very comforting to know that we have everything we need prior to leaving.
We hope you find this helpful.
Safe Travels Everyone.
