10 RV Travel Essentials for Women

1. Dry Shampoo

Let’s face it, if you’re planning on living on the road full-time you may not always have the option to wash your hair as frequently as you would like. Dry shampoo can come into great use for the days that your hair needs an extra lift and a less greasy look. I have tried several different brands and my favorite has been Batiste Dry Shampoo. It not only smells great, but it also comes in various shades to match your hair color- this way if you have dark hair it won’t look like you have bad dandruff after applying the spray!

2. Cleansing Wipes

Not only will dry shampoo come in handy during no shower days, but if you like feeling clean you will definitely want some cleansing wipes. Not only did these come in handy on days that we were boondocking and trying to conserve water, but they also come in handy if you go backpacking or camping outside of the RV overnight. You can easily pack just a couple in a baggy and into you bag for a long day of travel on the trails.

3. Moisturizer/Lotion

If you fall into the large category of women who love hot showers, you will want to make sure you have lotion. Hot showers really dry your skin out-so when you get the chance to have a long hot shower, be sure to use lotion afterwards. Depending on where you are traveling to, you may hit some dry climates that your skin isn’t used to. Be sure to always have moisturizer and lotion in the RV, your skin will thank you.

4. Hydration Pack Backpack

What’s more important than hydrating the outside of you body? Hydrating the inside! Whether you’re heading out on a long hike, or just a day out exploring a new place-a hydration pack is the perfect way to stay hydrated and also carry all your snacks, spare socks, a jacket, headlamp, and all the little knick-knacks you may need.

5. Polarized Sunglasses

No matter what season it is, polarized sunglasses are must have while traveling. These awesome sunglasses come in many different colors and designs, so you can find the perfect pair to fit your style.

6. Hiking Socks

Something every adventurer needs is a great pair of hiking socks….or maybe several pairs. For a traveler who loves to hike and may not have laundry accessible often, multiple pairs of hiking socks will come in great use. They help keep your feet dry, warm, and cushioned. You won’t regret having several pairs of these!

7. Outdoor Hiking Boots

Whether you’re hitting the trails in winter or summer, outdoor shoes will become your best friend. It’s important to find a pair that keeps your feet dry and warm, especially if you’re hiking through snow or rain.

8. Yoga Pants

Every woman knows that yoga pants aren’t just made for doing yoga. These pants are perfect for airplane rides, hiking, lounging, and nights spent hanging out by a campfire. They also come in a selection of colors, so you can find a different pair for every occasion. If you’re traveling in the winter season check out the fleece lined leggings, I loved mine and wore them every time we went hiking in the snow.

9. Stainless Steel Insulated water Bottle

It’s always good to have water on hand where ever you are traveling too. This water bottle will keep you drinks cold for hours. It can also be used to store hot liquids, it came in great use during early cold mornings when we would go watch the sunrise and want a cup of hot coffee!

10. Waist Pack

It’s true, waist packs (a.k.a fanny packs) are back in style. They are also the perfect size to fit your phone, ID, chapstick, and headphones with you any where you go! I loved using mine when I would go for a run or a short hike where I didn’t need to bring an entire day pack with me.
