2. Lime squeezer - Margaritas anyone? 'nuff said.
3. Thermal mugs - keeps your coffee hot in the morning and beer cold in the evening. Unless you're like Andrew and you prefer to drink beer from the tin, then you're using a thermal sleeve.
4. Unbreakable wine glasses - obviously
5. Complete pancake mix - without an oven, one can suffer from baking withdrawal on the road. Bring some "just add water" pancake mix along and suddenly you can make a plethora of sweet and savoury "baked" goods in your frying pan.
6. Solar shower - not only for its intended purpose, a solar shower doubles as an extra water container when you need to stock up and heats up your dish water without taxing the hot water tank or propane.
7. Bucket - you never realize how handy the age-old simple pail is until you're living simply. Let your imagination run wild with that.
8. Inverter with solar panels - just because we're off-grid doesn't mean we're animals - we must keep our Sonicare and electric hair trimmer charged, and are binge-watching "Mad Men".
9. Scented candles - for when the interior of the RV gets, as my friend Sharon says, "foosty".
10. Battery-operated flameless candles - for when its too windy outside for the real thing.
11. Bleach - a teaspoon per 10 gallons will kill enough of the Mexican bugs to use the local water safely for cleaning purposes.
12. French press (or Bodum) - the easiest way to make delicious coffee with nothing more complicated than a kettle.
13. Baby wipes - there will be many a day you won't have access to a shower, and nothing is more conveniently refreshing than a cleansing wipe sans scents and chemicals in the (ahem) parts you need it the most.
And what you DON'T need:
You won't need any Vitamin C or D supplements as you'll be enjoying a lot of fresh lime margaritas in the sunshine. If you need a microwave, hair dryer, air conditioning, Kuerig, wide-screen TV, or a generator to power any such nonsense, can I respectfully suggest you just stay home.
