What are the RV essentials?
Now that you’ve bought your RV, it’s time to start accessorizing! If you are wanting to go nuts decking out your RV you are in the right place. It can be hard to know where to start, but thankfully we’re here to help.
This post includes an ultimate list of RV essentials or must-haves, PLUS RV accessories and supplies you’ll see other RVers use at the campground and beyond.
Firstly, with decking out your RV you’ll need to think about the essentials for daily life. This includes things like dishes, pots and pans, bedding, and towels. Secondly, you’ll need to stock up on food and drinks. Lastly, RV living isn’t all about fun and games – you’ll also need to be prepared for potential problems on the road.
This means stocking up on items like tools, and first-aid supplies. In addition, no RV is complete without a few fun adventure items. Things like bikes, kayaks, and hiking gear will help you make the most of your time on the open road. Ready to get started? Here are a few tips for you to go nuts decking out your RV!

Our goal is to provide recommend products which will save you time scouring the internet, and money by not making unnecessary purchases. (Something we wish we had available to us when we started on our RV journey.) We only recommend products that we use, or are closely comparable to our purchases. The products listed are based on our opinions and our experiences.
RV Essentials Explained
We have categorized the RV accessories to make them easier to locate. However, new RVers who are looking for just the RV essentials, or must-have items, will find them by locating the buttons in each category with the following color, in the example below.
Essentials will be defined differently from person to person depending on your preferred camping style, so we kept ‘Essentials’ as the fundamental RV accessories and supplies needed for your first camping trip, just to get you out on the road sooner rather than later.
The other RV accessories we have named PLUS items, you will find handy and could even add to your wish list. They may be for for extra safety, comfort, to make things easier, or just for fun.
Roll up your sleeves, let’s dive in.

RV Water Accessories
Our Best Choice for You

Looking for a high-quality drinking water hose for your RV? Look no further! This 50-foot option from Amazon, with it’s tough construction ensures lasting durability season after season. Plus, it’s available in a variety of lengths to suit your needs. It’s perfect for quickly and easily supplying fresh water to your rig.
Our Best Choice for You
Zero-G Drinking Water Hose
- 50% Lighter Weight than commercial vinyl hoses
- Kink-Free, Easy to Maneuver and Store
We used another brand similar in design to the Zero G. Although it wasn’t as durable as the blue hose mentioned previously. We listed this as a contender due to the fact this lightweight hose won’t get stiff in colder temperatures, so it is easy to coil up and store. More importantly, you don’t have to fight with it getting twisted.
Although, we experienced punctures with the other similar brand, the pros outweighed the con and we are willing to give the Zero G a whirl as it is popular within the RV community. We will provide an honest review in the future.
Meanwhile, look at the reviews on Amazon and see what you think.
Our Best Choice for You
Water Pressure Regulator Valve with Gauge
- ADJUSTABLE- It can be raised from 0-160 psi. You can protect your pipeline system through our regulator
When making the choice to buy this accessory, we highly recommend purchasing one with the gauge. This style you can adjust the psi, and others without the gauge are what we consider water restrictors. Absolutely not the same function.
Pro tip: Water pressure varies widely amongst campgrounds. When checking-in to a campground, asking what their water pressure is like is one of our first questions. So, for just a few dollars extra you will avoid damage to your water system in your RV.
Our Best Choice for You
Water Bandit
- Connects your standard water hose to various water sources
Along your travels you will find water sources at campgrounds which have stripped threads. This will cause you to not be able to attach your hose, or water pressure regulator.. For a minimal cost, this nifty device solves that, as the rubber end stretches over the water source. We give it two thumbs up.

Pro tip: Did you know a gallon of water weighs 8.3 lbs. ! Let’s do the math, for an RV water tank that holds 30 gallons, that’s 250 lbs. of extra weight.

The photo and video quality on this particular drone is just hands down amazing. It was worth the wait to use it.

Pro tip: Although long stakes are provided to keep this gazebo anchored down, also attach it to your RV with a sturdy cord. Winds do pick up when you least expect it. In addition, if the ground is wet the stakes may not hold. If it comes loose, at least you won’t be chasing after it.

Our Best Choice for You
Coleman Camping Chair
- Built to last: Strong steel frame supports up to 325 pounds
- Convenient features: Side pockets, mesh cup holder, adjustable arm heights
You will have many choices with camping chairs. While shopping around you’ll see the price tags can get upward of $100. Take it from us if you are just starting out grab a couple of this style for a few reasons.
- Most importantly they are light weight to carry to a beach or park.
- They are affordable
- They won’t take up storage space
Gravity chairs are popular, and we do own a couple, but they are not a multi-functional item that can easily be hauled around, they are awkward and not lightweight.
These are bulky, and not practical. If you purchase a gravity chair you will find yourself buying something like our recommended style chair above in addition, due to needing something more portable when venturing away from the campground.
