Now, I am kinda new to this, but have quickly realized the top 5 things to bring.

1. $1 bills
2. $5 bills
3 $10 bills
4 $20 bills
5 Credit Cards

anything non-perishable is (hopefully) packed in the camper
toss in a cooler of food/beverages
stop for ice and firewood on the way

I will also add can opener. Although one always stays in the fiver, my wife took it out for some reason a while back and did not put it back. A couple of weeks ago while boondocking we discovered this problem. Of course I laughed while I opened a can of beans with a pair of wire cutters, but my wife did not see the humor. Of course she still did not laugh when I told her that forgetting the can opener when camping is the same thing they used to make cartoons about.

Over the years, I have forgotten so much stuff at various times. I have on occasion fried eggs in a hub cap, and eaten them out of a dixie cup. That was one more excellent reason for upsizing and keeping a separate set of everything in the RV. Now, I think beside TP and can opener as necessities, the credit card covers about everything else. (along with a handy Wallyworld) Smooth travels and have fun.

Money

We have kept our rig stocked with everything but the clothes and medicine we will need. Everything else is left in the MH and replenished as needed when we stop for a few hours rest at a Wal*Mart.

I used to unload the camper when we got back , clean and resupply a big box and go throw in back in the camper door, RIGHT THEN,, that way we could pull out on short notice.
How about the EpiPen for your allergies! I have two and one is always on me but I'm allergic to tree nuts (NOT peanuts).
