RV Accessories You Can Use

By: Jerry Grossman

What do you think of when you hear the word "RV?" If you can remember 30 or 40 years ago, you might be thinking of a smallish, cramped tin can on wheels. Those were the days - the bad days! But of course, today's RV's are nothing like that. They are sleek, stylish, roomy, and you can get them equipped with just about every creature-comfort possible. And what we want to do in this brief article is briefly mention some of the ways that you can outfit your RV.

What should be the first thing on your list? Here's my number one recommendation: an RV air conditioner. Yes, I know they are expensive, but they are worth it. They will keep you cool and comfy in the hottest of weather - and that's no small feat if you are traveling in the south this summer! I repeat: make the purchase of a good RV air conditioner the first thing on your shopping list.

Next should be an RV backup camera. Why do you need this? Do you really need to ask? Haven't you had enough frustration trying to park your rig, not being able to see what you are doing? With an RV backup camera, you will be able to see exactly what is in back of you, and you will be able to navigate blind spots and tight corners with ease. If you have damaged your rig while backing up, you know that the repairs can be costly - save yourself that expense, as well as all of the frustration; get an RV backup camera.

Want a more down-to-earth recommendation? Well, what about investing in a new RV holding tank? The holding tank is the tank that holds all your family's 'human waste' (you know what that is, don't you?) until your load can be dumped (sorry about the pun) at your local campsite dumping station. Get yours checked regularly, especially for leaks - and if necessary, get one installed.

While we're at it, you might as well inspect and install the latest water tanks (for holding fresh water while you are on the road), as well as a good-quality RV water pump. With these 2 items, you will be assured of having no problems with your fresh water supply when you are on vacation.

Here's some further recommendations: Bring along a good quality TV set. Why bother, you ask? Aren't we supposed to be on vacation? Well, what if you want to see the big game? What if it's raining outside and the kids have nothing to do? You know you need it, so bring it along.

And to go with your TV? Well, a RV satellite antenna. Without that, you might as well just leave your TV at home, because you won't be able to pull in any broadcast signals. If you don't want to stare at a black TV screen, you are going to need an RV satellite TV antenna.

Well, those are my recommendations. Vacationing this year in your RV can be a tremendously wonderful experience, but after all we need some comforts out there, don't we? See you on the road this summer!
