20 RV and Camper Travel Hacks

Camping is the ultimate way to get into nature and doing so with a camper or RV makes it easier (and more comfortable!) than ever before. That is, if you set your camper or RV up for success before hitting the road. To get you started, we've put together our top 20 camper and RV travel hacks, including everything from camper storage ideas to ways to make your camper more secure to how to ensure you actually make it to your destination.

Campers and RVs all have one thing in common: They're cramped. In this revamped vintage Chinook RV, stylist and decorator Courtney Favini Lichty designed the table with folding hairpin legs, which allows it to drop down when not in use, transforming the area into a long, solid seating space with plenty of room to walk around.

Buying a used camper is a lot like buying someone else's house. You wouldn't ask them to leave their bed for you to sleep on, right? So, why would you sleep on used mattresses and cushions in a camper? Clean up dingy used camper cushions by removing the old cover and making new covers out of your favorite fabric.

To prevent loose items from rolling around the inside of an RV while traveling, it's simple: use storage bins. They keep items in their place and organized whether you're driving or camping, while easy-to-read labels help you to know where everything is at a glance.
