[The RV Way]

Let’s be honest—half the fun of RVing is finding all the cool, quirky, and downright life-changing gadgets that make life on the road easier (or just more fun). I’ve tested my fair share of RV gear, from genius space-savers to tools that have saved my bacon more times than I’d like to admit. Some gadgets are must-haves, some are nice-to-haves, and some are why-did-I-even-buy-this-to-haves (looking at you, collapsible salad spinner).

So, I figured I’d kick off a list of my top 5 favorite RV gadgets and see what you all think. Got a game-changer I need to know about? Drop it in the comments!

My Top 5 Must-Have RV Gadgets

1. Renator RV Water Pressure Regulator 🚰
Ever had your RV’s plumbing hit with a water surge that made you wonder if you were about to experience an impromptu indoor water feature? That’s why a water pressure regulator is key. The Renator model is adjustable, well-built, and keeps my pipes happy (which keeps me happy). Bonus: it has a gauge so you can monitor the pressure like an RVing pro.

2. Camco TastePURE Inline Water Filter 💧
Let’s be real—campground water can be a mixed bag. This inline water filter has been a lifesaver, cutting down on weird-tasting water and keeping my coffee from tasting like I brewed it in a swimming pool. Easy to install and replace. Plus, it saves me from lugging around cases of bottled water.

3. LevelMatePRO+ Wireless Leveling System 📱
Leveling an RV can feel like a high-stakes game of trial and error. This little gadget syncs with your phone and shows you in real time exactly how to adjust your rig. It has saved me so much frustration (and saved my neighbors from watching me run in and out of the RV like a confused squirrel).

4. Jackery Explorer 500 Portable Power Station ⚡
A portable power station is a must, especially if you boondock. The Jackery 500 is my go-to—it’s got enough juice to keep my laptop, phone, and even my small appliances running. Plus, paired with a solar panel, it’s a great backup for those off-grid adventures (or when I forget to plug in at the campsite).

5. TireMinder Smart TPMS 🛞
A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) might not be the flashiest gadget, but trust me—it’s a lifesaver. Blowouts are no joke, and this system gives real-time updates on my tire pressure straight to my phone. Peace of mind = priceless.

The “How Did I Ever RV Without This?” Gadgets 🚐💡

You ever buy something for your RV, thinking “Eh, maybe I’ll use this once in a while,” and then BAM—you can’t live without it? That’s me with these gadgets.

Here are a few things that turned out to be absolute game-changers for me:

1. RVLOCK V4 Keyless Entry RV Lock 🔑
I used to be that person constantly double-checking if I locked the RV. Now? I just punch in my code and go. No more fumbling with keys, no more paranoia, and no more locking myself out in my pajamas. Bonus: it’s got a remote key fob, so I can lock/unlock from a distance like I’m James Bond.

2. Folding RV Step Stool 🪜
Why does every RV seem to have that one high cabinet that only a giraffe could reach? I got a lightweight, foldable step stool, and now I can actually grab my coffee mugs without climbing on the furniture like a raccoon.

3. Camco Olympian Wave-3 Catalytic Heater 🔥
If you do any cold-weather RVing, this little heater is a lifesaver. Runs on propane, puts out a nice dry heat, and doesn’t suck up power like an electric heater. Plus, it makes my RV feel super cozy—like a log cabin on wheels.

4. WeBoost Drive X RV Cell Signal Booster 📶
Tired of playing “Find the signal” with your phone? This cell booster has helped me stay connected, even in places where my phone usually turns into a glorified camera. Great for working on the road, or, you know, just Googling how to fix the thing you just broke.

5. iKammo RV Fridge Fan ❄️
Did you know that RV fridges can be notoriously bad at keeping cold air circulating? (I found out the hard way.) This tiny battery-powered fan pushes air around the fridge, making sure my drinks stay icy cold and my cheese doesn’t turn into a science experiment.

RV Gadgets That Save Time (So You Can Actually Relax) ⏳🚐

I love a good RV gadget—especially one that saves me time and frustration. Because let’s be real: the less time I spend wrestling with hoses, wires, and leveling blocks, the more time I have for campfire lounging and s’mores testing. 🍫🔥

Here are a few gadgets that make my life way easier:

1. Valterra Flush King Sewer Hose Rinser 💩🚿
Cleaning out the black tank isn’t exactly the highlight of RVing. (If it is for you… well, I have questions. 😆) This little hose attachment flushes out the gunk like a pro, meaning less stink, less mess, and less time spent dealing with my least favorite chore.

2. TST Max RV Toilet Drop-Ins 🌿🚽
Speaking of the black tank, let’s talk odor control. These enzyme-based drop-ins break down waste and keep things smelling fresh. No weird chemical smells, just a citrusy reminder that your bathroom doesn’t have to smell like… well, you know.

3. Lippert Flow Max Water Pump 🚰
Ever had weak water pressure that turns your “shower” into a sad trickle? This upgraded water pump gives steady, strong water flow—because let’s face it, I didn’t sign up for RV life to take sponge baths.

4. Andersen Camper Levelers 🏕️
Forget stacking leveling blocks like a game of Jenga. These ramp-style levelers let you drive on, adjust, and be done in seconds. They’re a back-saver, a time-saver, and probably the best upgrade I’ve made to my setup.

5. BougeRV Solar Trickle Charger ☀️🔋
If your RV sits for long periods, you need one of these. This little solar panel trickle charges your battery, keeping it from draining while your rig is parked. No more dead batteries, no more headaches.
