Improve RV driving days with these 5 helpful travel gadgets

By Gail Marsh
Here are some helpful gadgets that will improve RV travel days, without a doubt. Order your favorites today so you’ll be ready the next time the open road calls!

Ceramic coasters

Hate cleaning the bottom of those sticky cup holders for your driver and passenger seats? Me too! These ceramic and cork coasters absorb spills and are easily removable so that you can thoroughly hand wash them at the day’s end. The coasters come in a four-pack, all with varying (and beautiful) designs. You can see for yourself here. That design not your style? There are thousands (yep) more designs that can be found here.

Seat cushion

I originally purchased this orthopedic seat cushion for my office chair. Recently, while packing for a road trip, I happened to toss the cushion into the truck. It was a game-changer! The cushion was very comfortable, kept my back aligned, and relieved pressure on my hips. I didn’t feel so exhausted after a long day of traveling, so I ordered one for my husband, too. Get one before your next long driving day and see what a difference it makes!

First aid kit

We recently bought a different truck, and I inadvertently left our first aid kit in the old truck. So, I ordered this one as a replacement. Even if you already carry a first aid kit inside your vehicle, always check (and refill) it before heading out on your next adventure. Also, make sure you understand and can properly use each item inside the kit.

Conversation starters

Someone I like, Travis Hellstrom, has written several books to get the conversation going. 52 Questions for Friends or one of his other books will help pass the time as you travel and help you learn more about your travel partner, too. There are also these Talking Point cards that contain 200 conversation starters.

Car trash receptacle

We finally graduated from the plastic grocery bag! For years we struggled to keep our travel trash contained inside the flimsy plastic bags. No more! This waterproof car trash receptacle fits well strapped to our center truck console or around the headrest for backseat travelers. A hook and loop closure keeps trash secure until you’re ready to empty it and the plastic liner is easy to wipe clean. This container also features side pockets and a zippered pocket for travel wipes and other take-along items.
