10 Awesome Travel Products for Road Trips | Must Have Gear for RVs, VanLife, and Weekend Drives

[@PackHacker]

🚗💨 What’s your favorite road trip essential?

[@brimstone33]

A plastic adult bib with a pocket at the bottom to catch all those ketchup dribbles and sesame seeds. Also a little filler cushion to stop those fries from falling between the seat and the console.

[@heathenwolf4997]

Emergency pack for car emergencies and a portable phone charger (what you plug your phone to, battery pack)

[@KumarSingh-tf1sq]

My favourite would be a road i guess

[@griffinnathan476]

you prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf for the last months :)

[@ismaelalessandro7408]

@Griffin Nathan definitely, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D

[@andrewyip2967]

The RUX looks really cool, but it's hard to argue value-for-money compared to those IKEA blue bags...they even have a zippered one now

[@maxwellhallel]

Phone technician here: be careful with third party magnetic phone mounts that use metal plate things like the first one; they can really mess up your phone’s camera with prolonged use. We see it all the time on both iPhones and Androids, and Apple actually has an article about it on their support site (they’ve had that for years haha - it’s not just trying to force people to use MagSafe)

[@roderick.t]

Emergency, disposable urinal bags are a must-have for any road trip!

[@PackHacker]

Great shout, always best to be prepared! 😄 - Rebecca

[@sacramentallyill]

Or a gatorade bottle

[@lukepaulson3428]

I’m not sure what happened to Tom but this baby faced gear junkie did a great job. Thanks!

[@Timey]

For the love of god please pack a tourniquet into your car first aid kit. They are literally life savers

[@diywarren1776]

That Tom bin is exactly what I’ve been looking for to keep spare motor oil and my 12v inflator and whatnot

[@PackHacker]

🙌🙌🙌

[@sleepnclass]

That comment (in the video) is gold. Please do a video about vedc

[@marjiecleveland]

My favorite is the Carhartt organizer!

[@luminousbit]

That first aid kit is horrible - given the channel's penchant for organization, you should definitely be featuring a Surviveware kit or similar instead! That mess you showed gives me chills.

[@carolin3951]

In Germany we have to have a first aid kit in the car by law. It is triple the size of yours and holds real big patches/scissors and stuff to treat bigger wounds than a simple plaster could. The one shown in the video is rather the fancy version of what I take with me for my kids anyway (plaster+desinfectant) :D

[@PackHacker]

Ah that's interesting, Caro! Sounds like you're always going to be prepared then. 😆 - Rebecca

[@CraigJones191]

Agreed. A car first-aid kit needs to be "Trauma Capable" (aka. Stop the Bleed).

[@01cthompson]

I've witnessed magnetic phone mounts affecting the phone's compass. Not a big issue when using GPS on the highway. But, it's an issue when stopped ( or driving slowly) and the phone is trying to point you in the correct direction.

[@01cthompson]

@Rebecca Coates Yes. It was Steelie by Niteize.

[@PackHacker]

Thanks Chris! Super useful info, I'll pass this onto the team. 😊 - Rebecca

[@MitchKirkham]

I did a lot of research and I think that pairing the Spigen Mag Fit Phone Holder Car Mount with an Anker USB-C charger like you mentioned is a winning combo for MagSafe car charging! You have to supply your own MagSafe charging cord but by doing so you unlock 15w charging which is twice as fast compared to non OEM Apple chargers. I’ve had it for about a month now and absolutely love it!

[@PackHacker]

Thanks for sharing, Mitchell! Sounds like you've got a solid solution going on there. Glad to hear you've been able to find a system that works well for you. 😊 - Rebecca

[@RUXlife]

Thanks for sharing! Thrilled to be included in your road trip essentials list. RUX has been a blast to develop and test, especially lately now that 'multi sport' season and camping have kicked in here in BC.

[@PackHacker]

🙌🙌🙌

[@chrisroat380]

Great call on the Key Organizer. I personally use the Karl Friedrik brand which offers a little more concealment/personalization and stability

[@PackHacker]

That's awesome, Chris! Yep, once you've used a key organizer, it's hard to imagine life without one. 😄 - Rebecca

[@Chambros703]

I love the Mous phone cases. I have my phone in one and it protects it wonderfully. There are magnets in the case that fits the car mount perfectly, however no charging but plugging it in doesn't bother me as its positioned right above the outlet. Mous also has a phone wallet that utilizes the magnets and its pretty clutch to have so you don't have to dig around your bag for an ID and essential card. Mous products are incredible, also have their AirPod pro case. Love it.

[@megaira86]

As a fulltime traveller I love all of your videos, even without having a car... great work as always!

[@PackHacker]

That's awesome to hear, Petra! Thanks for reaching out. 😊🙌 - Rebecca

[@Glarf]

Great list. One thing is that it’s “Teh-va”. It’s named after the Hebrew word for “nature”.

[@refriedbeatss]

good to know!

[@chaosqueen20]

I got myself the anker duo when I finally got my license and a car. It was a no brainer and keeps my phone charged when I'm going somewhere and need google maps. Plus I listen to music when I drive so it comes in handy

[@PackHacker]

Sounds like a win-win there, VivaLaDolceVita14! These gadgets definitely come in super handy for when you're on the road. 🙌 - Rebecca

[@josholiverutubepage]

Made me miss my Pontiac Vibe, such a great car

[@XxCrankyMoosexX]

I like those Stasher Bags, but damn; they are on the expensive side.

[@DelToro7]

I drive the same car! Same colour too :D

[@cozyflannel]

What sadist packs peanuts in the shell for a car ride

[@vh6307]

😂

[@serguti]

Another great video!!...I guess you forgot about travelling with small kids, so I include in the back seats compostable trash bags for when the motion car sickness arrives ;)

[@gmt5664]

x-files! LOL! Dramamine. That's the only thing that makes road trips longer than an hour bearable. I live in Hawai'i. There be little road trippin' here. When I lived in Oregon, I didn't last 2 hours awake before downing dramamine. Good list though. I like that Tom Bihn organized bag.

[@Reddylion]

Good

[@luigiorfanelli]

Which shirt is he wearing?? Looks damn good 👍🏻

[@JeremyLMarquez]

[@learnshareevolve1842]

You may have 'oversimplified' RV living, just a bit. There's a lot to know if your renting sn RV for the first time; so do your research ahead of time, if that's your plan!

[@0FF537]

@ 9:09 .. nobody is attaching their keys to a Nite Ize S-Biner micro lock on a rear belt loop.

[@EverydayEnglishTipswithAmit]

First and biggest question is: when am I going to travel? 😂😀

[@itzcain81]

Whoa i didn't know Carhart was in Michigan or you guys. sorry im kinda new to your channel. lol but im in Michigan also

[@PackHacker]

We’re in Detroit! 😃 So is Carhartt! -Eric

[@TheDiverpro]

Ummm y’all need to review the hot logic mini!

[@KelticStingray]

That car organiser needs some form of cover to fasten over the contents.

[@silverhoney6969]

I just discovered your page today and I’ve already watched 5 videos and I feel like it’s going to change our travel lives. I want an RV so bad & this “Airbnb for RV” is amazing!!!

[@PackHacker]

Glad we could help introduce you to RVshare! Thanks for watching! - Austin

[@mjp79]

Mobile Wifi for the Kids.

[@PackHacker]

Great shout, Matt! 🙌 - Rebecca

[@dthedad7330]

Any suggestions for company?

[@gripperharris]

yep a must if you want peaceful stress free driving!

[@LukaDonesnitch]

Where you get those model skyscrapers from?

[@delphinelesterlost3285]

I need something to hold my phone to take road videos and read maps as well....

[@heathenwolf4997]

The rux, 70 liter, can it hold 5 days of clothes for a week vacation?

[@Ragt0p]

I’d think so, 70 liters is bigger than a regular suitcase.

[@heathenwolf4997]

@@Ragt0p Thank you

[@PaulHo]

Honestly, first aid and emergency kits really come off like fear mongering and insurance. People really be like must carry a splint and foil blanket walking down Times Square. Any wound that even is appropriate for a small band-aid isn't exactly life threatening, and 200/299 of that kit is bandages.

[@StarDarkAshes]

After month if you notice a tear in your shoes that means they’re garbage. Or maybe you should just wear them around the house like slippers.

[@moviewryter1985]

$80 slippers. Ok...
