EXTERIOR ITEMS
We are not sponsored by any of the products below. However, we have used all these products during our camping adventures. Many of these products we still use today. Products that failed us will not be listed nor will we ever recommend them to you. All of these recommended products were purchased by us with our own personal funds.
These are great and work a lot better than wood. We I really like about these is that they store on your trailer tongue. The DOCK N STOW comes with plates to adjust to any type of trailer tongue, The strap holds it firmly in place while going down the highway. The top has a number of configurations even if you have a wheel on your tongue jack. We have two of them and they have worked great for us for many years.
If you have an electric tongue jack this cover will help to keep the light from fading and water from getting into it. We have had this same cover for well over 5 years and it still works great. Our tongue jack on our previous camper still looked new after several years of use.
Tired of tangled cords and messy storage? Introducing Electric Cord Reel! This innovative and compact device is the ultimate solution for your electric cord needs when camping. With its sturdy construction and user-friendly design, say goodbye to the hassle of untangling electric cords and stores easily.
Embrace a cleaner and more organized outdoor experience with this Pop-Up Garbage Can! Engineered for portability and efficiency, this innovative garbage can set’s up effortlessly, ready to collect all your waste with ease. Featuring a collapsible design, it conveniently folds down into a compact size, making it a breeze to carry along on your camping trips or beach outings. We purchased one of these about 5 years ago and only recently had to replace it after many, many camping adventures.
If you have black tank flush ports on your camper, you are going to want to use a separate hose. You never want to use your fresh water hose to flush out your black tank. We like the orange hoses because it helps to prevent you from mistaking your fresh water hose for you flush hose. We have two of these also for a total of 50 FT. And we have had to use both at times.
We highly recommend adding this adapter to your sewer hose kit. This will be the first attachment to your RV then attach your hose after. The reason is you will want to make sure that your tanks are draining properly. This simple clear adapter can save you a lot of headaches. This is especally nice when the sewer connection at the campsite is a good distance away from your camper.
Don’t waste your time or money on those cheap blue water filters they do not work. Trust us, we know lol. This is the best water filter that we have found for the money. We use the Dirt-guard in conjunction with the 1-micron Clear2O water filter and it has made a tremendous difference. You never know the quality of the water of the campsite that you are visiting so it’s good to be safe.
This is a true one piece solid 1-micron filter. You can use as a stand alone or with the Clear2O Dirt-guard. If you this filter in half (when your done with it of course) it does not have granules like all the other filters. Because of this water is forced through the filter. The Dirt-guard captures the larger debris, and the 1-micron catches the rest.
We love these and they save so much time and no more leaks. We have used these for a few years now and they have worked great. We also purchased some of the round seals which need to be replaced every now and then.
You would be surprised at how many times you need a ladder when camping. This one is telescopic and folds up nice and compact for easy storage.
Having a good inexpensive knife when camping comes in handy on many occasions. From making fire starter to cutting rope and good knife is always good to have. We have a few of these and they have lasted us a very long time.
This is the best camping mat that you will ever buy. It is reversible and different colors on each side. But the biggest advantage of this mat is it works great at keeping the sand out of the RV.
Furrion Wireless RV Backup camera. This is a must have and works fantastic. It has a really nice 7" monitor. This camera has made towing and changing lanes so much easier. It also easy to install. Most campers are already preset for this camera. All you have to do is take off the cover, plug it in and screw it back in to the back of your camper.
Our Furrion Wireless Camera did not come with a case. And when your moving gear around and storing items its easy for the monitor and accessories to get damaged. We purchase this case and it worked perfect. It has foam inside, that you can customize. We use this for our Furrion backup monitor and our TST Tire Monitor. Both monitors and all accessories fit nicely in this case. Its also very durable.
Tire gauge accuracy is a must when your towing around 10k pounds behind your truck or more. And proper tire inflation is extremely important. We like this one because you can connect it to your air compressor and inflate your tires to proper psi in just minutes. This one is one of the more accurate ones that we have have found. We prefer the digital ones over the gauges because they have been more accurate for us.
This is the best portable option that we have found that attaches to your RV battery. It is durable and reliable. It also has a total of 26 LF of cord between the power cord and air hose which has been plenty for us.
Yes, you need these. Wasps and other flying insects will make nest in your water heater and your furnace. It didn't take long for me to figure this one out after getting stung multiple times because of wasps making nests in my water heater. Its a painful admission.
We actually really like these. We have them on our travel trailer and they make them for any type of RV entry door that you have. We went with Latch It over some of the others out there because it has an all metal construction. We use it so much we forget to bring our camper keys most of the time. Its nice to provide access to others when they are camping with you.
Tired of not knowing how much propane you have in your tanks? Want a sensor that is accurate and tells you exactly how much propane you have. This product is one of the best products that we have purchased and its extremely accurate. I cannot think of not having it at this point. These sensors will work with any propane tank size.
The Mopeka propane tank sensors come with legs to for your propane tanks. However we use these rubber halo's to go on the bottom of our propane tanks. These help prevent rust on both the bottom of your tanks and your propane tank shelf. You will notice the rust over time. This little gadget have prevented that and it works on 20, 30 and 40 pound tanks.
Bob uses this item all the time. When draining our tanks to doing maintenance on our camper. Its very useful. We have had a few of these before and they all broke after a very short time. This one has lasted us well over a year now.
We try to keep our shoes outside verses bringing them into the camper. We typically wear crocks and we just set them outside on this shoe rack by our steps.
If you have have the old style flip out steps like we do, do yourself a favor. This is one of the best mods that we have done and what a difference it makes. It makes your steps solid. They are also fully adjustable for uneven ground or any terrain.
We have replaced these on every RV that we have owned. We simply do not trust the cheap ones provided by the manufacturers.
If you have a travel trailer with a weight distribution hitch, this thing will be your new best friend. This makes picking up and moving your hitch so much easier. Hitches are heavy and this gadget works fantastic.
There are a lot of weight distribution hitches out there. And there are a lot of very expensive ones out there too. We have used this one for years and it has done great. We really have not experienced a lot of sway with this hitch and feel it has done its job.
We cannot tell you how many times this little thing has come in handy. Mainly at resorts. Most resorts that we have stayed at do not provide fire pits or will rent one to you (yeah we experienced that too). This is a nice and compact fire pit that fits nicely in our storage bay.
These are ICON skylights that we have had good luck with over the years not only in our current RV but previous RV's also. We have also had several friends use these with the same success. They come in all of your standard colors. This is standard size for most Grand Design RV's. Make sure to measure your inside dimensions before purchasing. This one fits a 14" x 22" x 4" hole.
Have you ever had your propane tanks stolen? We haven’t either but we know of people that have unfortunately. We purchased this lock after hearing from two RV’ers that we know, both of which had their propane tanks stolen from their travel trailers. Yes, just like your batteries they are stealing propane tanks now. This is a deterrent for any would be thief and we can still say that our tanks have never been stolen.
So, travel trailer theft is common and cheap locks do not work. They can still your camper with the lock still on if your chains are hanging. They simply connect the chains and off they go. This is one of the best locks on the market that we have found. Its durable and has worked great.
