Top 6 "must have items" for motorhomes

Pedata RV Center, that specializes in nationwide online RV sales, released their Top 6 'Must Have Items' for motorhomes.

1. First Aid Kit (it doesn't have to be too extensive, but make sure the kit has the basics such as bandages, aspirin, anti-bacterial cleanse and more).
2. Blanket (no matter how short the trip...emergencies come up. Be warm while waiting out emergencies that delay departures or arrivals).
3. Map and Road Atlas (Remote destinations may cause "out of range" of service for digital devices. It's quite rare that a traveler is a victim of map or atlas theft. Maps are a terrific backup for when expensive electronic devices disappear due to theft).
4. Garbage bags (Garbage bags are a vital element of every road trip no matter how short or long).
5. Bottled water (a case is recommended, but have at least one at all times).
6. Spare tire (this needs no further discussion. There's no argument against it).

Gerard Pedata says of the list, "A lot of RVers who have been on the road off and on for years find that they get complacent if they don't make a concentrated effort to keep their motorhomes stocked with the essentials and they eventually regret it. New motorhome owners are almost more likely to be prepared with the basics! They're more prone to checking and re-checking and working off of a list."
