Notes:

We travel with a Teardrop Trailer that has a queen-sized bed in the cabin and a galley in the back. In our galley we have a freezer that we use to freeze ice packs for the coolers that we keep in the car, allowing us to have the best of both worlds! Our propane stove has its own drawer, and when I’m ready to cook I simply pull it out onto the counter and hook it up to the 5-gallon tank that rides on the side of our TT.

 

Having a regular bed in the cabin allows us to stay warm and cozy inside. And by regular bed I mean that it has a 6” mattress with a 2” memory foam topper and bamboo waterproof cover. I use regular sheets and bedding. The longer the trip, the more important it is to have a comfortable bed!

 

Generally, I use the “One Per” rule. At least one of each for everyone in your party (human or non-human!) But you might want to use “2 per” for towels, one for swimming and one for showering.

 

Vary your list according to your needs.
