RV Accessories You Can Use

By: Jerry Grossman

I remember when my uncle Bert bought one of the very first RV's ever made, many years ago. Boy oh boy, things have sure changed. Back then you could hardly walk around in those things, and sitting at the tablewell, let's just say that your deodorant had better be working. But that's the past -- today's RV's are spacious and more comfortable than ever. I thought that in this article I would give you my recommendations for some useful RV accessories.

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 item for your shopping cart? An RV backup camera. Attached near the business end of your RV, the camera will transmit a very clear image on a display screen for you to use when you are backing up your rig. This is also an essential - why risk injuring someone, or damaging your rig? You can get them with embedded microphones (for communicating with the outside world) -- you can even get units that display the picture right in your rearview mirror - you'll think that you're James Bond (and your neighbors will be SO envious).

Here's a more mundane recommendation: Make sure that your rig is outfitted with the proper size and type of RV holding tanks. These tanks hold all the nasty 'waste' from the you-know-where (ugh!), until you get a chance to empty it at your favorite campsite. You had better inspect yours -- have you ever been in an RV with a leaking holding tank? Pee-yuu!

And since you're at it, you might as well have your fresh water tank inspected as well, as this is the tank that you will draw your fresh water from while you are on the road, away from any campsite. And when you get that inspected, make sure that your water pump is inspected as well - this device maintains adequate water pressure throughout your RV fresh water system. If your RV water pump goes belly-up, you will be left high and dry.

Want some more recommendations? Well, how about a good quality TV? Conventional wisdom says you're not supposed to be watching TV when you are out, but let's face it - everyone does. And if the wife wants to watch her favorite soap opera, she'll thank you that you brought one 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, there you have it: some of my RV accessory recommendations for today's families. Why don't you pick up the phone and call your local RV dealer to see what goodies they have in stock? I'll see you on the road!
