But, there are a few other things that will help make your road trip a whole lot more enjoyable, so we thought we\u2019d share them here!<\/p>\n<h3>1. Annual National Parks Pass<\/h3>\n<p>At just $80 USD, this pass is your vehicles golden ticket to every single National Park in the United States for a year. With average single-entry park fees being $20-30USD, you\u2019ll have gotten your money\u2019s worth after seeing just three or four National Parks. Available at the Escape depots,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/store.usgs.gov\/pass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online<\/a>, and at most National Park entrance stations, make this your first big purchase of your road trip and save a lot of money.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Firewood<\/h3>\n<p>Nothing tops off an epic day of adventures than a campfire \u2013 whether it\u2019s for thawing out cold extremities, cooking food, roasting marshmallows or just to stare at, they\u2019re a multi-purpose soul soothing past time loved by young and old, regardless of the season.<\/p>\n<h3>3. A Decent Backpack<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you carry a lot of camera gear with you or not, you need a versatile, comfortable pack if you\u2019re going to be exploring in the outdoors often. Something small enough to sit on the seat next to you, ready to grab and go, but big enough to fit all of the important things. We use this\u00a0large Canon DLSR backpack\u00a0when traveling. It has cushioned sections for different bodies and lenses, a laptop sleeve, rain cover, and smaller compartments for SD cards and other accessories. And after all that, there\u2019s still always extra space for some snacks, water, and a jacket. It\u2019s fully adjustable and well suited to longer hikes, despite looking pretty indoorsy. We took this bad boy with us across the whole south-west with no complaints.<\/p>\n<h3>4. A Reusable Water Bottle<\/h3>\n<p>Preferably insulated and BPA free. Plastic water bottles are toxic, wasteful, destructive and unfortunately \u2013 prolific. Not to mention just downright unnecessary! Unless you\u2019re in a crisis and at risk of dehydrating, there should be no need to purchase a plastic bottle of water. There are so many reusable bottles on the market these days that are insulated, aesthetically pleasing, and virtually indestructible. Seriously, if you don\u2019t already have one \u2013 what are you doing? We have a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hydroflask.com\/32-oz-wide-mouth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">black 32oz. Hydroflask<\/a>, a wood style insulated bottle from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thesourcebulkfoods.com.au\/shop\/coffee-tea\/the-source-water-bottle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Source Bulk Foods<\/a>, as well as a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/zionpark.org\/product\/zion-nalgene-water-bottle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nalgene<\/a>\u00a0that we purchased at Zion National Park.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Snacks<\/h3>\n<p>Does anyone else get hungry in the first half an hour of a long drive, regardless of when your last meal was? No? There\u2019s just something about being on the road that makes us hungry. So we always have snacks handy. Our favorites are fresh fruit like grapes and bananas because they don\u2019t require much preparation. But there\u2019s also a couple of non-fresh snacks that we treat ourselves to on road trips like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clifbar.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clif Bars<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cobspopcorn.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cobs slightly salty\/slightly sweet Popcorn<\/a>. Remember, keep all of your soft plastic waste and drop it off at the local\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcycle.net.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REDcycle<\/a>\u00a0bin or equivalent!<\/p>\n<h3>6. Good Music<\/h3>\n<p>Define good, you ask? In my experience, this just translates to variety. If you\u2019re anything like us, you like a wide spectrum of styles and genres, and your preferences vary greatly depending on your mood, the weather, the scenery, how much sleep you\u2019ve had, when your last meal was, THE LIST GOES ON. So just be prepared. The easy answer here is obviously\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>. Make your own playlists, follow their pre-made playlists, follow your friend\u2019s playlists, learn a language, listen to poetry or choose their pandora style radio option. I have a playlist for every mood, you can follow me\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/user\/jasmineburgan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Wipes<\/h3>\n<p>Instant reaction: Yuck. Even the word is gross. I\u2019m not a \u2018wipes\u2019 person\u2026. I prefer to submerge myself in some kind of water to bathe whether it be the ocean, a creek, river etc. or just a good old shower. But unfortunately, these resources are not always available when on a road trip! In fact, from our experience, more than half the time we had absolutely NO IDEA when our next opportunity to bathe would be. Honestly, I think that we only properly showered perhaps four times in the two weeks we were on the road. Glamorous? No. Real? Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Now wipes are definitely not the most eco-friendly product. They are disposable and come in plastic. So don\u2019t make a habit of buying these in your everyday life, don\u2019t waste them, and definitely shop around for the best possible option. We bought the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.seventhgeneration.com\/baby-wipes-hypoallergenic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">seventh generation<\/a>\u2018 brand from Whole Foods because they\u2019re made from wood fiber they don\u2019t contain any harmful chemicals, and the packaging is made from 25% recycled plastic.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Dry Shampoo<\/h3>\n<p>This kind of goes along with the whole wipes\/rare bathing situation. This stuff will make your hair look freshly washed in less than a minute. I only discovered the joys of dry shampoo about a year ago, and it\u2019s now one of my favorite things in the world. Even more so since we\u2019ve been living in a van full time. My hair tends to get oily within 24hours of washing it, even if it\u2019s not \u2018dirty.\u2019 I\u2019ve never been one of those girls who can get away with washing their hair once every three or four days. Instead, I spent twenty or so years of my life washing my hair every. single. day\u2026. yay!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batistehair.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Batiste<\/a>\u00a0is my favorite brand, it\u2019s cruelty-free and priced pretty well, and I always have a can on hand. When you\u2019re on a road trip and unsure when you can wash your hair next, this will save you.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Suitable Clothing for All Climates<\/h3>\n<p>This probably seems obvious, but make sure you check the weather for all of the regions that you\u2019re visiting and pack accordingly. We didn\u2019t realize how drastically the weather can change in a short distance, and also didn\u2019t take altitude into consideration, so we found ourselves in the mountains of Colorado with barely enough warm clothes, particularly John. Luckily enough we found a TJ Maxx and he purchased a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenorthface.com\/shop\/mens-millerton-jacket-nf0a33q6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Face jacket<\/a>\u00a0that saved his life, even if I stole it half the time. Lesson learned.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":7635,"id":7635,"title":"Escape Camper Vans Road Trip Essentials","filename":"escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials.jpg","filesize":99074,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/en-gb\/blog\/road-trip-essentials\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials\/","alt":"Escape Camper Vans Road Trip Essentials","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":7633,"date":"2018-12-13 17:32:23","modified":"2018-12-13 17:32:49","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":975,"height":650,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials-1024x683.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials.jpg","1536x1536-width":975,"1536x1536-height":650,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials.jpg","2048x2048-width":975,"2048x2048-height":650,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials-1200x800.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":1200,"post-thumbnail-height":800,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":200,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":267,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/escape-campervans-road-trip-essentials.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":400}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_3 et_pb_column_0 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_2 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><em>What road trip essentials would you add to the list?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/contact-us\/\">Tell us<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n"}],"sub_title":"","title_tag":false,"override_global_post_advertising":"no"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.2 (Yoast SEO v25.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Guest Blog: USA Road Trip Essentials - Escape Camper Vans<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our friends John and Jasmine from Australia recently explored the American Southwest in an Escape Campervan.
