Road Trip Must Haves
20
items These are items I have with me (or have with me when we have little ones) on basically any road trip, whether that’s 50 miles or 5,000 miles.
This impact resistant case works great to protect my phone, whether I’m hiking, road tripping or just carrying it in with the groceries.
CASETiFY: Show Your Colors
I’ve ordered this 4-5 times: when I change phones, or when I inevitably drop my phone and get a crack in the protector (not the screen). Well worth the money and easy to apply!
Ambison 2 Pack Matte Glass Screen Protector iPhone 16 Pro Max 6.9"
For a road trip, this Fintie case is a must-have! They have a great selection of patterns for every taste, but this library is my favorite. Prop it open with the stand, or slide your hand into the strap to hold it securely at any angle.
Fintie Stand Case for 6" All-New Kindle 11th Gen
While I usually have a cooler in the truck bed for my longer trips, my Dr Pepper Zero addiction insists that I have a smaller one inside the vehicle. Car or truck, this one is perfect! Plenty of space for drinks, ice packs to keep them cold, and dry...
EVERFUN Small Cooler Bag 24/48 Can Insulated Lunch Box
In the car, my phone is my navigator as well as my music (or audiobook) source, so a phone holder that will remain securely fastened to my windshield is important. This one is the best!
VANMASS Military-Grade Car Phone Holder
I use these in every vehicle I’ve had for years now. I use it to hang my handbag, a hardhat, coat, a shopping bag, or an umbrella. They’re so versatile!
Amooca Car Seat Headrest Hook 4 Pack
I always keep some in the car, just in case. But I also mount these with double-sided tape in the “basement” door closest to our black tank drain, to keep them handy!
Synsafe 4 Mil Blue Nitrile Exam Gloves
For the RV, I buy two of these. One gets mounted in the kitchen to keep them handy, and another next to the gloves on the closest basement door to the black water tank.
Bradshaw Good Cook Deluxe Paper Towel Holder
For the RV, I use one in the bathroom to organize bath items, and one in the main bedroom closet for t-shirts and sweaters. They work great to keep everything organized and handy (but don't forget to take them off before you move)!
Wall & Door Hanging Organizer with Mesh Pockets
I've tried others that have an opening you can reach inside of for your phone or change, but nothing seems to land in them, just falls off one end or the other. This will prevent the dreaded phone slipping between the seat and console, and make cleanup much easier and quicker!
Drop Stop Car Seat Gap Filler Set of 2 + Pad
I recently purchased two of these - one for each vehicle, and in the car (Acura), I actually put it on the passenger's visor facing me, so I can more easily see the map when I'm coming up to a turn, and it doesn't block my vision. Works perfectly!
Rotatable Retractable Car Phone Holder 1080
For the RV especially, this item is THE BEST! One or two quick sprays, and smells won't stand a chance against it.
Poo-Pourri Beach Bum Toilet Spray 2oz
For the car, these are great pick-me-ups during long summer road trips. For the RV, these are a great stop-gap measure for the boondocking night on a longer trip where access to the shower isn't available.
Body Wipes for Women, 50 XL + 4 Travel Size
A fun way for passengers to pass the time when you've heard the same song on the radio for the third time, or when you just need to challenge your brain!
WELL BALANCED Road Trip Mysteries Game
Any time space is at a premium, you have to get creative. These are great to hold snacks or a lunch/dinner on the road!
DYLEN Car Cup Holder Tray Expander Adapter
Sometimes the best games were pre-technology. We had these when I was a kid, and it was always fun to play!
Regal Games Finger-Tip Shutter Bingo Cards - 4 Packs
Great way to keep the littles happy. Organize their drinks, snacks, and activities to keep them entertained even on short trips!
PILLANI Kids Travel Tray w/ Activity Set
For the older kids, this is a great way to organize their snacks and activities! We used these with our twins and loved that it kept everything within arm’s reach, whether we were on road trips or waiting for older brother to finish up football prac...
Car Backseat Organizer with Table Tray 2-Pack
We had portable high chairs/boosters when the twins were little, but they were way bulkier than these. Great space saver, and way to ensure your little(s) have a high chair at your destination!
Bright Starts Pop 'N Sit Portable Booster Seat
We always trusted Graco pack n plays, and they’ve come a long way! We still have 2 of these in our closet for the grandbabies that are 5 now. Just waiting to use them for the next ones. 😄😄
