Gear That Turns Any RV Trip Into a Smooth Adventure
Power You Can Trust
A quality surge protector or, better yet, a full EMS safeguards your RV from low voltage, miswired pedestals, and spikes. After a sudden storm in Kansas, ours saved our converter, proving this single device can rescue entire vacations and budgets.
Power You Can Trust
Carry dogbone adapters for 50A to 30A and 30A to 15A, plus a 10–12 gauge extension cord rated for RV loads. These simple pieces often determine whether you power everything safely or trip breakers all night at older campgrounds.
Drinking-Safe Hose and Inline Filtration
Use a certified drinking-water-safe hose to avoid plastic taste, and add a sediment plus carbon filter. We noticed fewer clogs in faucets and better coffee flavor instantly. Quick-connects make setups painless when arriving late after long, tiring travel days.
Adjustable Water Pressure Regulator
Campground water can swing wildly. An adjustable brass regulator, set around 45–55 PSI, protects PEX lines and seals. A small gauge immediately warns of dangerous spikes, giving peace of mind while kids shower or the dishwasher hums through dinner prep.
Level, Stable, and Sleep-Worthy
Stackable blocks and curved ramps help you dial in level on uneven pads. We learned on a sloped site outside Zion that inches matter; the absorption fridge disliked tilt, and blocks restored cooling, protected doors, and finally quieted cabinet rattles.
Level, Stable, and Sleep-Worthy
Rubber or X‑chocks are nonnegotiable. Chock before uncoupling to prevent roll. During a windy Utah night, stout chocks kept our trailer planted when gusts pushed hard against the awning. Your nerves, axles, and neighbors will all be grateful.
Safety First, Adventure Always
TPMS, Tire Gauge, and Air Compressor
A tire pressure monitoring system alerts you to slow leaks and dangerous heat. Pair it with a quality gauge and a portable compressor that reaches trailer valves easily. Early alerts saved our sidewall crossing Nevada, long before the tread shredded.
First-Aid Kit, Fire Extinguishers, and Detectors
Stock a real first-aid kit, not just bandages. Check ABC fire extinguishers, plus smoke and CO detectors, monthly. On a chilly morning, a cracked furnace exhaust tripped our CO alarm and probably prevented a far scarier story from unfolding.
Roadside Kit and Essential Tools
Reflective triangles, headlamps, gloves, fuses, duct tape, zip ties, and a compact tool roll handle dozens of fixes. A breaker bar for lugs and a torque wrench earn their keep after every tire rotation and before ambitious mountain passes.
Navigation and Campsite Comfort
An RV-aware GPS avoids low bridges and propane restrictions, while a backup camera prevents tense parking arguments. We once rerouted around a twelve-foot bridge just in time, saving roof vents, solar panels, and an entire weekend of repairs.
Connectivity and Rainy-Day Joy
A roof antenna with a booster feeds a dedicated hotspot and travel router, stabilizing streams and calls. It turned a marginal Montana valley into viable remote work for us, keeping deadlines intact while elk bugles echoed at dusk.
Connectivity and Rainy-Day Joy
NOAA weather radios and app alerts buy precious minutes in storms. Download offline maps before remote routes. One thunderhead over Texas pushed us to safer ground early, and dinner tasted better knowing hail stayed ten miles behind.
