Embarking on an RV adventure requires a
specific set of gear to ensure comfort, convenience, and peace of mind. Based on
countless miles and real-world experiences, here’s our Top 10 essential buying
guide for the camping products we simply can’t live without when we’re out on the open
road in our RV.
1.
Blu Technology AR3 Premium Water Filter: Safe drinking water is
paramount. A high-quality multi-stage water filter system (not just the basic
hose filter) is essential for removing sediment, chlorine, and heavy metals,
vastly improving the taste and safety of your water supply, regardless of the
campground source. The Blu Tech AR3 stands out as the superior market choice. This three-stage system begins with a 5-micron filter to remove large sediment like rust. The second stage utilizes a highly effective 0.2-micron filter to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and microplastics while the final stage employs a coconut charcoal filter for improved taste and odor. Featuring a high-quality stainless steel design and quick connects, setup is effortless.
2.
Power Watchdog Portable Gen 2 Smart Surge Protector: An electrical surge or low-voltage power can instantly fry your RV's
sensitive electronics and appliances. A 30 or 50-amp RV-specific portable surge
protector is non-negotiable insurance to safeguard your rig from power pedestal
mishaps. The Gen 2 Power Watchdog offers superior electrical protection for your RV. Key features include a waterproof design, an Emergency Power Off function, and a replaceable surge module, eliminating the need to buy a new unit after a surge event. It also introduces industry-first Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring you receive continuous updates about your RV's electrical status. For users seeking ultimate electrical management, the new
Watchdog Power Station is the market's premier voltage booster and surge protector equipped with Emergency Power Off.
3.
Magma Beach Fire Grills: Enjoying great food with your family is easy with outdoor RV grilling, which also helps keep the inside of your RV smelling fresh. The Magma Beach Fire Grill is the perfect size for any RVer, yet it's large enough to handle family meals. This stainless steel propane grill is available in five colors and can be completely disassembled for thorough cleaning.
4.
Blue Ox Flat Tow Bars: We missed out for years by not towing a vehicle behind our motorhome, but the Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar changed that, giving us the freedom to explore. Rated to tow vehicles up to 10,000 lbs, the Avail allows for safe and easy flat towing. For the ultimate combination of safety and convenience, pair it with the
Patriot Brake to complete your towing package. To commemorate America's 250th anniversary, Blue Ox created a red, white and blue tow bar for us.
5.
Kuma Outdoor Gear: Elevate your campfire experience with comfortable camping furniture from Kuma. Specializing in chairs, tables, and accessories—including items for your dog—Kuma was the pioneer in creating heated buddy chairs, available in various colors for couples. All Kuma gear is designed for easy transport and storage, folding neatly into custom bags that fit perfectly in your RV hatches. Whether you need an outdoor speaker lantern, a dog leash, or bowls, Kuma offers everything you need to complete your campground setup.
6.
Pinnacle Appliances: For RVers, maximizing limited space is essential, making the right portable appliances a genuine luxury. We enhance our RV experience, making it easier, cleaner, and more enjoyable with Pinnacle appliances like Combo Washer & Dryers, Portable Induction Cooktops, Wine Chillers, and Wet/Dry Vacuums.
7.
Orion Safety Equipment: It is surprising that RVing does not have the same safety requirements as boating. We strongly recommend that all RV travelers carry an Orion RV safety kit. Since breakdowns can occur unexpectedly, a critical component of this kit is a set of DOT-certified safety triangles to effectively warn other motorists. Additionally, a first-aid kit and safety vests are valuable for various roadside emergencies.
8.
Star Brite Cleaning Supplies: Maintaining the pristine condition of your RV's many surfaces can be a challenge, requiring a diverse selection of cleaning products. Star Brite offers a comprehensive "quiver" of solutions to handle every task. Tested in the most challenging conditions, Star Brite products consistently deliver exceptional results. From the roof and awning to the slide-outs and windshield, Star Brite has a specialized product for every area. Their innovative new
Ceramic line of cleaners is designed to restore that original showroom shine. With hundreds of products available, Star Brite ensures your RV looks fantastic and smells fresh.
9.
PowerMax Power Accessories: We consider the Powermax Lithium Jump Starter an absolute essential; we truly don't leave home without it. It's an indispensable piece of equipment that every driver—whether operating a daily commuter, a weekend boat, or a long-haul RV—should keep readily accessible. Its reliability has proven invaluable, particularly for our flat-towed vehicle. When embarking on extended road trips, the continuous movement and wear and tear inevitably drain the car's battery over a long distance. In such scenarios, the
Powermax Jump Starter is a necessity, providing the instant boost required to start the engine reliably and get us back on the road without delay or the need to flag down a stranger. We often have other vehicles parked at home for extended periods. To maintain the health and readiness of those batteries, we rely on the
Powermax Trickle Charger. This device is perfect for the home garage, ensuring that when we return from a trip, we can easily connect and charge up the batteries of our stationary vehicles. This proactive charging ensures they are always topped off and ready for use, preventing the frustration and inconvenience of a dead battery right in our own driveway.
10.
Cofair Quick Roof Extreme: Because your RV roof is arguably its most critical component, we always carry a Quick Roof Extreme Patch Kit as a precaution. Water damage from a punctured roof—say, from a fallen tree branch—can quickly devastate your home on wheels. A Cofair 4" x 6" patch adhesive on hand is essential for protecting you and your RV from the elements.
