Your RV door is an important component of your home-on-wheels. Not only does it secure all of the belongings you carry with you in your home/travel vehicle, but it plays a significant role in keeping you and your family safe as well. The RV door is also one of the most-used components of an RV, …

Since we recently covered the topic of hooking up and disconnecting an RV tow bar, today we’re taking a look at the best vehicle to tow behind your RV. Because we know that most RVers enjoy exploring well beyond the campground as we do, bringing along a towed vehicle is a given. When your home-on-wheels …
During the dog days of summer, RV boondocking, or limited power at a hook-up, can be a challenge if you want to stay cool. As you probably know by now, boondocking is our favorite way to camp. So how do we stay cool? We use a product called the Micro-Air EasyStart and in today’s post, …
Keeping perishable foods at safe temperatures is incredibly important to all RVers. For this reason, most RVs have a fully-functioning refrigerator, whether it’s a 12V fridge, a 2-way (propane or electric) or 3-way (propane, 120V AC, or 12V DC) unit, or an RV residential refrigerator. A working fridge keeps foods, beverages, and even medications safe. …
There’s no greater nemesis to an RV owner than a leak. We consider an ounce of prevention as being well worth any amount of effort, which is why we regularly inspect all areas where sealant has been applied to our RV. In appropriate areas, we’ve chosen to use a product called EternaBond tape, and we’ve …
We’ve flat towed our Honda CR-V behind our motorhome for over 18 years now, so we’re well aware of the benefits of flat towing. We’ve also had plenty of time and experience to determine which is the best tow bar for flat towing, or “4-down” towing. When you choose to flat tow your vehicle behind …
Some RV owners may question whether RV tire covers are worth using. You may not even think about using RV tire covers until you see someone else in the campground putting them on. During our 18+ years of full-time RVing, we’ve used our RV tire covers as often as possible, and our tires have benefitted …
To say that the showerhead is one of the first places manufacturers skimp on RV builds would be an understatement. They’re typically not worth the plastic from which they’re made. As a result, you may be looking for a replacement and wondering which is the best RV shower head. If you love boondocking like we …
Flat towing, 4 wheels down, is the preferred method of towing a vehicle for many RVers, and it’s not hard to see why. Compared with other options, it’s very fast to both connect and disconnect, and the equipment involved takes us very little space. But there is one major catch: you can’t flat tow most …
One of RVing’s most common questions, particularly from those considering off-grid camping, is “Are RV Lithium Batteries worth it?” Even experienced RVers have had a tough time determining whether the investment will pay off. “Should I just stick with the lead-acid batteries that came with the rig, or will it be a meaningful upgrade to …
RV window awnings are a great addition to RVs that spend any time in the sun, and that’s likely to be… well… all RVs! While we love the sun and appreciate the warmth and light it brings, we also know that keeping an RV’s windows shaded when parked in full sun is important for keeping …
One of the benefits of traveling in an RV is having an available supply of water in your RV’s fresh water tank. If you’re car or tent camping, you’re more limited in the amount of water you can bring along. Having a fresh water in your tank provides all the water you need for drinking, …
If you’ve been RVing for a while, you’ve probably encountered your fair share of very unlevel RV sites. If you haven’t yet, trust us, you will eventually. Trying to sleep, work, or even just walk around your RV when it’s sloped can be a huge nuisance. It also isn’t good for your RV to spend …
No matter what type of motorhome you have, you’ll find one accessory to be an absolute necessity for the protection of your investment: an RV windshield cover. Even if you have a towable RV, a windshield screen for your tow car or truck will protect the interior. While a windshield cover may not be as …
An RV is a nice cozy place to hang out and relax while camping. But the last thing you want is for your RV to be a nice cozy place for mice! Not only is having mice in your RV gross, but they also have the potential to do serious damage to your rig. As …
