What are the Coolest RV Camping Gadgets?

One of the things avid RV travelers love about this hobby is the many gadgets they can collect. There are tons of gadgets available in the RV camping gear category, some focused on practicality and others that are just plain fun. Whether you are a long-time RVer or are hoping to soon purchase your first rig, collecting gadgets is an enjoyable part of the adventure.

At Out of Doors Mart in Colfax, NC, RV owners can find the gadgets and parts they need to keep their rig working all throughout the travel season. Of course, if you need to buy a new RV, Out of Doors Mart would be the perfect stop for that purchase, as well.

The Practical Side

Some of the best RV gadgets aren’t necessarily fun – but they do make life in an RV a lot easier. These are items that take some of the tasks that come along with being an RV owner and transform them into simple, no-hassle chores. Let’s look at some of the highlights in this category:

• Clear sewer tank rinser. It’s hard to find an RV owner who claims to love rinsing out the sewer tank, but it’s a job that needs to be done. With this gadget, it’s easy to hook up a water supply to wash out the tank – and you’ll be able to see when the tank is clean.
• 90* hose elbow. This one certainly isn’t exciting, but it can eliminate a frustrating problem in your RV. If you’ve had trouble with your water hose crimping as it hangs off the connection, add a brass 90* elbow to get things lined up properly.
• Heater water hose. RV trips aren’t always warm, so using a headed hose is an effective way to keep your line from freezing up in the middle of the night.

Adding Some Comfort

The whole idea of RV travel is to create an experience that is more comfortable than sleeping in a tent, while still bringing you closer to the outdoors. So, this next category of gadgets has to do with making things a little more comfortable.

• A leveling kit. It’s hard to sleep well when your RV is tilted badly to one side or the other. Keep a leveling kit on board to flatten things quickly and easily out when you find your camp spot.
• Mobile hotspot. You can get a hotspot from your wireless carrier to set up and serve your RV with internet coverage. This is only going to work in locations where you have cellular coverage, of course, but it should come in handy regularly.
• A simple cable. This isn’t an RV gadget per se – but it should have a spot on your rig for most trips. If the RV park you visit has cable service available, you’ll need to have a physical cable to connect to the source. Cables are inexpensive, but make sure you carry a long one so you can reach the source even in awkward spots.

Customize Your Equipment

The lists above should give you some shopping ideas, but RV gadgets are about finding those little things that make your life on the road more fun. Pay attention to the things you struggle with while traveling in an RV and look around at Out of Doors Mart for any RV camping gear that may solve those pain points. And most importantly, have fun.
