General Essentials to Pack in an RV

Electrical hookup cords
Sewer hose
Auxiliary cable for TV connection
Mobile hotspot for reliable WiFi or other signal boost equipment
Emergency kit, just in case — better safe than sorry. This might include simple tools to help on the roadside should you suddenly get a flat tire, but also road flares, warning triangles, and first aid supplies.
Tool Kit — Even if you don’t consider yourself especially handy, having a few basic tools on board might help you fix small things in a pinch. A pocket knife, hammer, wrench, and pair of screwdrivers are a good starting point. Duct tape and WD-40 may come in handy as well.
RVMinders are a simple, affordable slap-bracelet-style accessory that will keep you from ever driving off without pulling up the leveling blocks or sewer hose again. Talk about a life saver!

RV Living Essentials

Clothing for every weather condition (bathing suits, shirts/tanks, sweatshirts, cargos, etc.)
Running/ hiking shoes, sandals
Bedding including sheets, covers, pillows, and blankets. Sleeping bags can also be beneficial to bring.
Window coverings, if your rig doesn’t come with them
DVDs, books, or other indoor entertainment items
Personal electronics, like laptops and cell phones, cameras, and their chargers
Cleaning supplies including sponges, trash bags, hand vacuum, wet mop, etc
Space heater or fan

RV Kitchen Essentials

Dishes
Cups
Silverware
Bottle opener/ Corkscrew

Cooking utensils and vessels — large spoons, pots, roasting pans, cookie sheets, metal skewers for the campfire (this will depend on what you’re planning to prepare; here are some easy RV-friendly recipes)
Cutting board and knives
Dish Towels
Paper towels and napkins
Coffee mugs and coffee
Reusable water bottles
Extra drinking water — even if you’re going to be camping in a site with full hookups, it’s never a bad idea to have extra potable water on board
Other food items, although it can be beneficial to wait until you get to your destination to go shopping. We recommend bringing some non-perishables such as cereal, canned goods, breakfast bars, beef jerky, nuts, and instant cook foods (mashed potatoes, oatmeal, etc)

RV Bathroom Essentials

Toiletries — (Hair brush/ ties, toothpaste/ toothbrush, shampoo/ conditioner, body wash, lotion, razor)
Prescription and preventative medications; facial tissues
Bath and hand towels/ wash cloths
RV-friendly toilet paper — Regular toilet paper can easily gum up your RV’s delicate sewer system, resulting in a mess you don’t want to have to clean up.
RV toilet chemicals
