Travel First Aid Kit
Tweezers (A GOOD pair, not the cheap useless ones that come with a kit)
Small pair of scissors
Ibuprofen (child & adult)
Insect Repellent (home-made and commercial)
Tylenol (child and adult)
Children's earache drops
Cold Medicine (child)
Home-made vapo-rub
Home-made muscle salve
A quick read thermometer (plus extra batteries)
Allergy medication/Benadryl
Bandaids (various sizes)
Neosporin
Butterfly bandages (I have a VERY active crew)
Cortizone Cream
Calamine Lotion
Sunscreen
Lip Balm
*When our freezer isn't PACKED to the brim with food, I also throw our gel ice pack in there. When it is, I just figure I will use frozen veggies or some of our ice in case of emergency.
I keep another kit under the rv bed, where it is always kept, even when we're not traveling. If someone were to get a serious injury/illness when we were traveling, we would most-likely cut our trip short, and drive home. But this kit will help to keep the person patched up until we arrived!
I just use a plastic container with lid for this secondary kit. Something this size works well for ours:
Big Kahuna First Aid Kit (always remains in rv)
Ace Bandages and clips
Ankle brace
Wrist brace
Knee brace
Sling
Larger bandages/sterile gauze
Medical tape
Sewing kit with needles (I just threw one from a hotel in there)
Finger splint (I already had one, and it seemed useful)
Wound prep wipes
