The following article originally appeared on Bond. I love hitting the road in my RV. I like being able to stop when I want to enjoy the view at a scenic overlook or just sit and talk around a camp fire at night. However, the time I forgot to fill the LP tank and so didn’t have heat on a 20-degree night? Not a trip highlight. We’ve all forgotten something on a trip – whether it was a passport, sunscreen or cell phone charger.

To attract these folks, companies have progressively increased their social media presence, amplified their company benefits, and have become extremely brand conscience.
