Your typical recreational vehicle comes chock-full of great features and amenities that will make you comfortable and serve you well on all of your journeys. But you can always improve upon what your RV offers with some thoughtful accessories that can make your camping experiences that much better.
RVs and Boats For Less in Chubbuck, Idaho, is your local camper dealer. Here are some of the top travel trailer accessories that can add benefit to your camping experiences.
General Necessities
There are, of course, some RV supplies that you’ll need out of practicality more than anything else. For example, drinking hoses and sewer hoses will allow you access to your water tanks, and a holding tank treatment will help you to clean those tanks when the time comes. Some thick rubber or disposable latex gloves won’t hurt, either, since it’s often a dirty task.
In order to level a towable, you’ll need some leveling blocks to keep everything in place while you work. Chocks can shore up the wheels to keep your RV from rolling off, which is especially useful if your camper has no automatic brake.
The hook-ups for water and power at campgrounds can be notoriously faulty and unreliable. In order to save your RV plumbing system from being overloaded—or to prevent your water from coming out at a trickle—you can install a water pressure regulating system. This will save your pipes and your sanity. And due to the brownouts and blackouts that can occur when a power grid is overloaded, your electrical system can short out. A surge protector will save you from this massive inconvenience, which can be rather costly to repair.
LED lighting is more economical and green than other types of lighting, as the bulbs will burn brighter and last longer. And a digital thermostat can help you to more accurately control the temperature within your RV. This is excellent for traveling to very hot or very cold climates.
Kitchen Accessories
Your RV kitchen is often well-stocked with great appliances, but it’s not terribly spacious, even in the biggest of rigs. Any steps you can take to save space will help you out. Stackable dish sets and collapsible bowls will give you more cabinet space. You could also install bungee-cord dish racks to shelve plates vertically if you prefer. Hanging baskets over the backs of closet doors and cabinets can let you store supplies like saran wrap and aluminum foil out of the way
In order to spare yourself from bringing a bunch of pots and pans that take up a lot of room, you should invest in a high-quality cast-iron pan for cooking your meals. You can cook a great variety of different foods in such a pan, and it’s easy to clean and will make your food taste better. Plus, you can use it in either the oven or the stove.
Safety Items
The standard-issue locks on your RV are not that unique and can be easily opened with other RV keys, so upgrading to stronger locks with a combination will keep your rig safer. And the tires on your RV should always be in good condition, so installing a tire pressure monitoring system can be helpful in allowing you to keep tabs on the condition and state of your tires. Finally, you’ll want to bring a set of tools with you wherever you go so that you can make small repairs on your rig as needed, in order to avoid the need for bigger repairs later.
