Must-Have RV Accessories

While your recreational vehicle comes with a variety of amenities already, it’s good to invest in some versatile accessories to make traveling better. You may be stumped as to what you should install on your camper because there are so many different types of accessories that you may not know are essential to have for a good camping experience. Here are some of the most essential accessories that we think everyone should have.

Hose

Your plumbing system necessitates a drinking hose and a sewer hose in order for you to properly utilize your freshwater tank and drain your gray and black water tanks. You’ll also want to invest in holding tank treatment for cleaning out those dirty tanks! Make sure you bring disposable gloves for this messy process.

Levelers

RVs may not always be equipped with leveling systems, so you’ll have to have your own leveling blocks to help you make precise adjustments in order to get your trailer level. Chocks can prevent your trailer from rolling away if it’s not equipped with an automatic brake.

Water-Pressure Regulator

The water hookups at campgrounds can be notoriously unreliable, providing you with terrible water pressure in your shower and sinks. Installing a water-pressure regulator in your RV will fix this problem, though, since it will even out the pressure the campground’s hookup gives you so that your showers and dishwashing and other chores aren’t so tedious.

Surge Protector

Just like the water hookups, the power hookups at a campground are easily overwhelmed on a busy summer day, which means that anyone using them may suffer brownouts or blackouts without warning. These power outages can do real damage to your electronics without a surge protector, so this is a smart accessory to buy.
