The RV screen door slide is one aspect of most RVs that tends to crack or break over time. This is due to a combination of a few different factors. First, the RV screen door slider gets a lot of use. It’s also often exposed to extremes of heat and cold. And finally, those RV …
We all know the nuisance that bugs and rodents can pose to campers. But in this post, we’re not concerned with window & door insect screens that keep flying insects from entering your rig. The RV bug screens we’re referring to here are just as essential, if not more so… but they’re different. Today we’re …
Everyone knows that boats travel on water and RVs travel on land. But an amphibious camper or “camper boat” offers the ultimate way to explore by land or water in the same rig. Can you imagine having an RV where you can head to a boat ramp and drive right into the water to go …
If you’ve ever tried to park your travel trailer in a tight spot but struggled because your towing vehicle just couldn’t maneuver it in there, you’ll appreciate the Parkit360 electric trailer dolly.

We’ve been reading about an interesting product called the True Topper as a replacement for traditional slide toppers. Most RVs with slide-outs either have nothing at all over their slides, or they have fabric slide toppers. A slide with no topper means dealing with any water and/or debris on top before retracting them. Fabric slide …
Thet terms “RV converter” and “RV battery charger” are often used interchangeably, but what are the differences between an RV converter vs battery charger? The term “battery charger” is pretty self-explanatory. A battery charger charges your RV batteries. But there’s a bit more to it than that. Likewise, an RV converter charges your rig’s batteries, …

Unless your RV is pretty new, having a rusty propane tank is not all that unusual. But there’s rust… and then there’s RUST. A little bit of surface rust in non-critical areas of a propane tank can generally be repaired pretty easily. But the trick is to repair rust on a tank when it’s barely …
Should you wire RV batteries in series vs parallel? That’s a great question and knowing the correct answer is really important. If we had a dollar for every time we’ve been asked, “Are RV batteries wired in series or parallel?” we’d have enough to fill our diesel pusher’s fuel tank. But we can’t just give …
An RV bunk is a great place for a child or teen to sleep. They’ve got their own space, and you’ve got yours. But RV bunk beds can be much more useful than you may think. We’ve seen bunk beds in RV living spaces put to some great use in our two decades on the …
