Accessories For Your RV

I remember when my uncle Bert bought one of the very first RV's ever made, many years ago. Boy oh boy, things have sure changed. Back then you could hardly walk around in those things, and sitting at the tablewell, let's just say that your deodorant had better be working. But that's the past -- today's RV's are spacious and more comfortable than ever. I thought that in this article I would give you my recommendations for some useful RV accessories.

First off, let me tell you what I think is one of the GREATEST accessories you can get for your RV - RV air conditioners. Why do so many people think that this is some sort of a 'luxury' item? Really, it isn't. I see it as a necessity. A good RV air conditioner will keep you nice and cool even if it's 90 degrees outside. And if you are traveling to any of the southern states of the U.S., having a good air conditioner is an essential! They are not cheap, but you will never regret buying one -- I guarantee it.

The next item: an RV backup camera. If you own a rig you don't need me to tell you about the hassle parking your rig can be - especially if you have to back that monster up. RV backup cameras eliminate most of that hassle by transmitting an image of the back end of your rig on a display monitor, so you can see just what is going on back there. You can even get units which display the screen image on one half of a specially-designed rearview mirror. Talk about high-tech!

Want a more mundane recommendation? Well, how's your RV holding tank? You know, the big tank under your rig that holds all thewell, you know. Have you ever had one LEAK on you? Not a pretty sight, I can tell you (or a pretty smell, either). So get yours inspected, and if necessary, get a new one installed.

And since you're at it, you might as well have your fresh water tank inspected as well, as this is the tank that you will draw your fresh water from while you are on the road, away from any campsite. And when you get that inspected, make sure that your water pump is inspected as well - this device maintains adequate water pressure throughout your RV fresh water system. If your RV water pump goes belly-up, you will be left high and dry.

Want some more recommendations? Well, how about a good quality TV? Conventional wisdom says you're not supposed to be watching TV when you are out, but let's face it - everyone does. And if the wife wants to watch her favorite soap opera, she'll thank you that you brought one along.

But you'll end up staring at a blank TV screen if you don't invest in this next item: an RV satellite antenna. You will need this if you want to watch TV, as you will need a way to capture the TV signals with you are on the road - and after all, you can't hook up to a neighbor's cable box when you're out there, can you?

Well, there you have it: some of my RV accessory recommendations for today's families. Why don't you pick up the phone and call your local RV dealer to see what goodies they have in stock? I'll see you on the road!
