Recreational vehicles are an ideal way to spend a summer vacation seeing new sights, while allowing campers to bring snug lodging anywhere they roam. Here are a few things that can make the experience even better.
The Safest Campfire
Outland Living Standard Fire PitCampfires and s’mores are traditional pastimes of RVers, but for the times when a traditional campfire might not be possible, this fire pit is the answer. Instead of all the time and effort needed to build a rock-ringed fire pit and gather wood, this 19-inch-diameter system is ready in minutes. Just set it in place, connect a propane fuel tank, open the valve, light it, and enjoy.
Bug-Free Outdoor Dining
Pamapic 12’x12’ Pop Up GazeboWith the RV serving as the sleeping quarters, this 12-by-12 gazebo that’s easy to set up provides the perfect place to relax and dine outside, protected from the sun and from buzzing insects. Hexagonally shaped for maximum interior volume, the screen sides allow a refreshing breeze, while the fabric provides UPF 50+ sun protection. The storage bag keeps it clean and out of the way between uses.
Take a Nap
Ozark Trail Hammock With CanopyHammocks are great for taking a nap or relaxing with a good book, but this one takes the worry out of where to attach the ends. The self-contained design unfolds in seconds and features a canopy to provide welcome shade. It supports up to 250 pounds yet weighs a mere seven pounds, making it very easy to move as desired, and it comes with a handy storage bag.
Bring the Bikes
Thule 4-Bike RV RackStorage space is at a premium even on the largest RVs, making this a great way to bring the bikes along. Built to provide many years of service, it attaches in minutes to the RV’s trailer hitch receiver, so it can be used on other vehicles, too. The arms rotate up to hold and lock up to four full-size bikes; it folds down out of the way when not in use.
When an RV arrives at a campsite, one of the first tasks is to connect to “shore power.” To add peace of mind, consider this small piece of equipment engineered to automatically protect the rig’s electronics, appliances, and electrical system from both over- and under-voltage fluctuations, power surges, and incorrectly wired electrical sources. The durable Lexan weatherproof casing houses high-tech microprocessors and displays current levels.
