Packing For The RV Road Trip

The eternal question for any trip regardless of how far or how long it is: What to Pack? 

Living an RV during a road trip isn’t much different than living in your home; Of course you will need the usual vacation items. You will also need items specific to an RV. 

Now, remember we are only planning a weekend to week-long trip, so what would you take if you stayed in a hotel?  We have created an RV Road Trip checklist for you! 

Depending on where you are going you might want to fill your fresh water tank at least to half if not full. Be sure to check that your grey and black holding tanks are empty with about 5 gallons of fresh water in each along with some downy to help clean the tanks while driving.

Where To Go Around Houston

Houston Museum of Natural Science

The Houston Museum of Natural Science is a great stop. Visit the world renowned museum of science. See exhibits and explore tropical rainforests to galaxies far far away. Go back in time and walk with the dinosaurs and into the future to see what new technologies are making our world better. 

Caddo Lake

Caddo Lake is a must visit. A sprawling labyrinth of lush bayous and wetlands,with Spanish moss casing thick cypress trees, this lake is one of the most overlooked jewels in the Lone Star; and it’s just begging to be kayaked. One of the only naturally formed lakes in Texas.

Caverns of Sonora

Where the Texas Hill Country meets the Chihuahuan Dessert sits thousands of acres of limestone rich ranch country. Just west of the small city of Sonora (which, FYI, is about halfway between San Antonio and Big Bend), this massive cave carved itself into Cretaceous-period limestone about 1-1.5 million years ago. It boasts one of the heaviest collections of calcite crystal formations, most especially helictites, in the world.

Medina River

Anyone who’s anyone has been floating the Guadalupe, but this less-crowded 116-mile-long river, starting in northwest Bandera County and ending just southeast of San Antonio — is equally as enjoyable. Lined with cedar, live oak, and limestone bluffs, the spring-fed rapids make it a kayaker’s dream. Don’t miss Chamblee Falls on the North Prong, where a 10-foot waterfall and baby 4-foot waterfall provide some pretty blissful scenery.

Boondocking around Houston

Dry camping without electricity, water, or sewer hookups around Houston offers few options. The thing about Boondocking is that you are out in the wilderness away from everything, unless ya go to a shopping center parking lot. So these sites aren’t advertised and ya just gotta find your own private spot. There are a couple of parks that have dry camping available though. There is Spring Creek Park which is Northeast of the city and to the west of the city is Hugo Point Park, sitting on the beach with access to the ocean in Cove Texas.
