These 10 RV accessories and upgrades are not must-haves but rather items that
if you did have you probably wouldn't want to live
without.
Hi, weekend warriors, I'm Randi and every Thursday I provide tips and
everything related to small campers so that we can make
every moment count because weekends are just too short.
Well coming up is a very diverse list of RV accessories!
Six of them I own and four I really really
want. One thing's for sure they will help make your RV life
better. Up first is my number one favorite RV
upgrade and that's the Froli Sleep System.
I installed the Froli Sleep System in my RV about one year ago
and it literally converted my RV mattress into a five star like hotel bed.
It's a modular spring system that really is easy to install.
The flexing movements of the springs create an airflow surface that keeps my
body cushioned and comfortably supported. Plus it fits
easily onto any bed shape. And because it lifts your
mattress off the hard surface and allows airflow
it also prevents mildew and mold from occurring from under your mattress.
And what's even better the Froli Sleep System company has given me a 15%
promo code that I can share with you. I will leave a link to that
in the video description below as well as
a link to the video that I did when I installed the Froli Sleep System
so you can see step by step how easy it was.
Okay up next is a grill that has been called
an outdoor culinary masterpiece and it's the Blackstone Griddle.
I love to cook outdoors to avoid having smelly odors inside my RV
and food just seems to taste better when it's cooked outdoors.
And if you're unfamiliar with a griddle grill
it has a flat smooth surface versus bars with openings in between
like a regular grill which means everything you can cook on a regular
grill you can cook on the Blackstone Griddle.
Plus things you couldn't such as pancakes
and eggs. One of the unique characteristics of the griddle
is it retains heat and cooks like cast iron
because the griddle top is a heavy piece of cold
rolled steel. Once the griddle top gets hot
it stays hot. Another big benefit it uses propane.
It can use the small canisters or hook up to your
RV propane tank. The Blackstone Griddle is a favorite RV
accessory amongst RVers. And after owning mine for almost a year
I now know why. I did an unboxing and a review video of
this portable gas grill and i'll leave a link to that video in
the video description below so you can get more details.
Stay till the end so you can let me know if I missed any of your favorite RV
accessories. You know the ones you don't want to live
without. Let me know because I am always on the hunt for new ideas. The
next RV accessory is one I do not own but is very popular amongst RVers and
that is a portable fire pit.
And more specifically the Solo Stove Bonfire.
RVers rave about them. There are three big benefits to the Solo Stove
Bonfire. First off is low smoke and fumes
compared to a regular campfire. Secondly, they're easy to light and
third they give off really good heat because of the holes
in the double wall structure that sucks the air from the bottom and feeds the
heated oxygen to the top resulting in a big flame with intense
heat. Gosh I've considered purchasing this
portable fire pit for a while now but I am such a lover of building
campfires I'm not sure I'd use it that often. I don't really know?
Let me know your thoughts. Are you team portable campfire or are you team
regular campfire? And coming up next is my
second favorite RV upgrade. An RV keyless door lock. And this lock is
made by RV Lock. It has a keypad that you set up
using your very own four digit code and it comes with a
remote fob. When locking or unlocking your RV
door you simply enter your four-digit code on the keypad.
Ee are constantly coming and going from our RV
so it's super convenient. I also learned most
RV keys are made with the same key. It's a universal key known as CH751.
So take a look at your RV door key and if it has
CH751 on it this means others with the same popular key can
open your RV door. Isn't it crazy to think probably
most people at a campground have a key to unlock your RV?
So along with being a huge convenience this RV hack
is a huge security RV upgrade. Plus it's really easy to install. I'll
leave a link to an installation video in the video description below
as well as step-by-step instructions. Number five on the RV accessory list
is a chair. But it's no ordinary chair.
When people see me rocking in mine they always come up and want to know more
about it and sit in it. It has a unique recline system. You just lean back and
find yourself in the perfect lounge position. And it swings fluidly
like a hammock. back and you are in the ultimate
camp recliner. And it's lightweight. Plus it folds up in a travel tote that
comes with it so it's super easy to carry anywhere you
go. And setup is really easy. The mesh
material is cool and allows airflow yet strong and conforms
perfectly to cradle your body. The aluminum suspension frame offers
great stability allowing you to swing on on level areas
and sandy beaches. And it's got a no-spill cup holder
and a stash pocket. This is an RV accessory that you almost
need to sit in to feel how comfortable it is. I haven't
done a review video on the Nemo Stargazing Recliner Chair yet but my
friend Patrick from Travels with Delaney has and he's got an
excellent review video for more details. I'll leave a link to that video in the
video description below. Up next is my newest RV accessory and
that is the Jackery Explorer 1000
Portable Power Station. This portable power station is going to
give me the freedom to do more boondocking or
off-grid camping or state campsites without electric hookups.
And look at all of these rechargeable ports. I can charge up to eight devices
at one time. And with this 1002 watt-hour lithium battery capacity this
portable power station has enough power to keep
us weekend warriors powered up. It's got input power ports,
DC power ports and AC power ports. There are four USB power
ports and that's phenomenal but here's what's even better.
Two of them are USB C ports and this was a feature
I was specifically looking for in a portable power station.
USB C ports charge devices significantly faster. I love that this
can power up to eight things at one time and
compared to a gas generator a battery power
generator it will operate without noise, fumes,
pollution, gasoline, and the need for oil changes.
I love this. And as the name suggests it is portable
weighing just 22 pounds. Also Jackery has a 240 and a 500 watt
hour portable power station. I did a video on the Jackery
1000 Portable Power Station last Thursday and I'll leave a link to that
video in the video description below. I do not
own the next RV accessory but I think it would be pretty
cool to have.
And that's a portable pizza oven. I'm talking about the Bertello
wood fire and gas outdoor pizza oven as seen on Shark Tank. How cool would it
be to make gourmet pizza while camping?
It uses charcoal, wood, pellets, or gas for authentic wood fire and gas
brick oven pizza. In addition to pizza you can cook
a variety of foods including meat, fish, vegetables, and dessert pizzas.
This pizza oven is lightweight and extremely portable being able to cook at
temperatures of over 900 degrees fahrenheit allows you
to achieve restaurant quality results and the
perfect crust. Plus it's got awesome Amazon reviews.
Wouldn't this be a fun thing to have up? Next
is the Clam Shelter and I really want this.
I have seen Clam Shelters at campgrounds and they looked
like a great way to have an outdoor room. Then last summer I met this nice couple
who showed me theirs and I was impressed. It's an outdoor
screen room. The Clam Shelter has 94 square feet of
usable area and it's great extra space to have
if you just want to get out of the sun. We get unwelcome guests. Yes, mosquitoes.
And they love me. What a great RV accessory that
would allow me to be outside when it's raining or the mosquitoes are
biting. Plus it's got a fine no see em mesh to keep
all bugs out even the tiny ones. And another benefit
it is one piece so it looks like it would be super
easy to put up and tear down with no extra pieces to assemble. And it's 90
inches at the center height so even tall people
can stand up in it. This is a great piece of RV camping
equipment to make RV life better. The next RV
accessory isn't technically an RV accessory but
it's a way for us to store and organize our RV accessories and it's a
truck toolbox. My husband Tom purchased and installed
the Decked Truck Rollout Toolbox last summer
to carry our RV accessories tools and other
gear that doesn't fit in our RV or in our RV storage area. It's an extra
storage system for our RV gear. Look at those handy pull out
drawers. These heavy heavy-duty drawers have lots
of space for all of our RV stuff. It also has
four bins with extra storage and with its low profile design
the Decked Storage System leaves plenty of room on top for even
more stuff and gives us more storage area for RV accessories and necessities.
it was easy to install plus they make different sizes for most trucks
I'll leave a link to a video that explains more about this Decked
Truck System in the video description below.
Next up let's talk about hammocks. I've been researching hammocks for a few
weeks now. Why would I want a hammock? if I have an
RV? I think there are so many ways a hammock could really be fun
to have. And it would be just a great place to
relax hang out or take a nap all while being outdoors.
I think having a hammock would extend our outdoor living space
and it takes up hardly any room to store. It could be an extra sleeping area for
guests and and probably the best reason is I could
sleep under the stars. They're definitely very comfortable to
sit in and it would add a comfortable extra seating spot. A
very comfortable way to hang outside.
6 out of 10 of these RV accessories and upgrades I personally own
and use and they're included in my favorite RV camping things list. This
list is available for free and you can download it by going to
