Camper Essentials

Post by Raj »

Being a novice at both camping and and even more so camping in a camper..... what do I need? What do you guys stock your busses with when camping.

So far, I have;
beer.

There got to be more.....

In the detailed thread, entitled "Camping Essentials"
If this were TheSamba, you would be publicly shamed for not using the search. :lol:

Something's have been added and redacted since making the list. But, it's a good start.

Search on http://www.popupportal.com too. I bring tools, 2 means of cooking (and we still have poptarts or cheez-its for dinner sometimes), TP, paper towels, soap/shampoo, sun screen, bug spray, flashlights/batteries, deck of cards/card games, etc. I've also gone to Goodwill and bought a few board games that stay in the camper. It's been a while though, so Jenga and Truth or Crap are both getting old. Not sure how you feel about electronics while camping, that is to campers the equivalent of asking what oil to run in a VW. Also recommended is a weather band radio... the longer I sit here the more crap I think of to fill your bus.
