Topic: What "stuff" do you have in your R-Pod? Posted: 21 Jul 2010 at 12:13pm |
I am new to RV'ing & just picked up my new 177. I am trying to both figure out everything from trailering to how to set up. My dealer, Richmond RV Center in Richmond, MN did a great job with a 90 min. walk through & answered all my dumb questions...I'll admit I'm compulsive. What I need help with is a list (if anyone has one) of renewable & non-renewable stuff that you need to buy that is not included with the trailer such as food, cooking supplies, cleaning supplies but also other things like does anyone feel the need to carry a currency analyzer or does the RV's electrical safety system prevent damage or injury from poorly wired campgrounds? Thanks in advance.

Food: Mostly I leave food out until we are ready for a trip, then I fill up the fridge. Staples that stay in the pod all the time is coffee, sweet n low and coffee creamer, I store all these in air tight containers. The rest of our food I usually pack in our vehicle (mostly so it doesn't get too hot (items like bread, chips etc)
Kitchen Items:
skillet,
griddle
big serving bowls
small sauce pan w/lid
large sauce pan w/lid
colander
liquid measuring cup
silverware tray loaded with silverware and steak knives
cooking utensils (large spoon, spatula, corn on the cob skewers).
can opener
measuring cups
clips that can be used to hang towels, clothes or whatever
chip clips
2 coffeemakers-1 electric and one that I can use with the stove in case we dry camp. Potholders
Pam Spray.
Silicone Spray for the R-dome
Bug Spray
paper plates,
paper coffee cups
plastic cups.
cheap plastic plates
plastic silverware
plastic bowls
plastic wine glasses.
Napkins and Paper Towels.
small container with various spices
Alumninum foil
saran wrap
lysol disinfect wipes
baby wipes (not just for babies)
dish soap
hand santizer
dish towels
wash towels
dish drainer
a big tub in case I do dishes outside of the camper.
I have found that another tub comes in handy for carrying items in and out of the camper (if you are going to eat outside).
I have a small container that holds ziploc baggies, big and small, and trash bags, big and small.
Rubber gloves for handling the yukky sewer drain job.
Broom/dustpan
All our bathroom items live in the camper (just buy things to keep in there)
towels enough for 3 or 4 days worth of camping (more if you re-use your towels more than 1 day or use a laundromat).
Small container for a first aid kit, bandaids, neosporin, sunscreen, ice pack, aspirin, rolaids, gauze pads, moleskin, scissors, etc.
Whew, I'm sure I left something out. Keep a pad and pen handy in case you forget something on the road or need to re-stock when you get home.
Good luck!

Add WD-40.
If it doesn't move and it should, WD-40 it.
If it does move and it shouldn't, duck it.
If WD-40 or duck tape doesn't fix it, $%^& it.

I got some of the stick on chalk board, put it on the bathroom door(outside of course) and chalk up the things I have to remember to put aboard next time. There is ALWAYS something. While the above list LOOKS large, amazing how much room to store all.
