We traveled in our motorhome for a year after selling our house but motorhome was home for total of 18 months after Covid-19 hit and delayed completion of our new townhouse. Even a big motorhome can get “small” so give each other some space from time to time. Insect and rodent prevention, especially those stink bugs, to put in and around perimeter of motorhome. Depending on where you are staying as to what you will need.

My FIL took up chip carving for a hobby. It was something he could do outside when they needed alone time, and the walls seemed to be closing in on them. His supplies didn't take up a lot of space. There are other things too, like leather tooling, etc.

Make sure you leave plenty of space and weight allowance. You will find things (by seeing neighbors with them!) and there will be a store or amazon that can get them to you. Definetly out door chairs, maybe a small table, outdoor rug. Look around and find out when you get there. You may end up with a mosquito tent or something similar and need space to take it with you. If you have bikes there are many areas where cycling is available. Also, kayaks, fishing equipment, etc., but remember to leave some room for new ideas!
Have fun!

We are pulling a 22 foot trailer with 2 bikes a Harley and utv. We will be staying in Sedona rv Park. Hopefully that will help to keep the walls from squeezing in on us

Stayed there for a week back in November 2019. Scenery was unbelievable! Lot different than our home state of Alabama.

Yeah I'll bet. We rode motorcycle thru there on a vacation once. Always wanted to go back

Pack some hiking shoes or bikes and patience.

Looking back there are two things I wouldn't be without:

A leaf blower. When you don't move locations leaves, twigs, sand, etc. tend to accumulate.

A compressor with enough pressure to keep your tires properly inflated.
