Things we have added to our camper

We bought our camper last summer and have been slowly adding things that make our camping trips more enjoyable . I keep a running list in my phone that I add to when we are camping and think of something that would be nice to have in the camper.
Door window blinds
Our camper did not come with a blind on the main door. This let in a lot of light in the morning and I found the kids waking up earlier due to the sun rising. This blind is blackout so when it is down it blocks the majority of the light.
Hiking backpacks
I picked up these super lightweight backpacks for everyone in our family. They are on the smaller side and fold up into a small bag. I found that bringing one big backpack with everyone’s waters, towels, water shoes , and lunches was a bit cumbersome for the parent that ended up lugging it around. This way each kid is in charge of their own belongings and gave them responsibility of packing and taking care of the things they needed for our outings. Each person has their own color and I found individual camping themed patches that a sewed on the kids bags. These bags are also waterproof so if you had a wet towel after exploring some waterfalls or swimming you would not get wet with it on your back.
Kids clocks
The kids bunks have usb plug ins. I purchased them all individual clocks so they can know what time it is and keep sleeping until it is time to wake up.
Tension Rods
The last time we were camping I realized we did not have a great place to hang up swim suits, and wet towels. We usually hang up a close line outside but when the weather unexpectedly rains in the middle of the night in the morning you wake up to wet towels. I got these tension rods to hang in the shower for the rainy days. While not in use they store easily under our sink vanity.
Laundry bags
I keep a pop up laundry basket in the camper. For the longer trips I found we were filling this up and had extra dirty laundry. These laundry bags are easy to store for the longer trips where we have more dirty laundry.
Closet organizer
These are great for our large walk in closet. There is enough room for everyone of us to store multiple pairs of shoes. This avoids a big pile of shoes on the floor in the walkway.
