Add-On Accessories to Make RVing Easier

RV’s alone are awesome. Endless floor plan options and the debate of new or used (there’s no wrong answer by the way), makes shopping for an RV a ton of fun. But the real fun comes afterward. Accessorizing your RV with cool upgrades and useful gear is when camping gets kicked up a notch. Once the RV is officially yours, there is a multitude of add-on accessories to make RVing easier… and more fun. What’s not to love about that?

Sway Bars and Hitches

Towing your RV should never be a stressful experience. In fact, it should be one of the simplest tasks involved with RVing. Explore a variety of sway bars and weight distribution hitches. Sway bars and weight distribution aren’t necessarily a necessity, but they’re sure are nice to have. Ask any veteran RVer and they’ll tell you this upgrade is some of the best money they’ve ever spent. These hitch additions may seem intimidating, but you don’t have to worry about installation or assembly if you don’t want to–sway bars and weight distribution hitches can be installed before the RV ever leaves the lot! Since the bars or hitches need to be fitted to the vehicle towing the RV, Camping World service centers provide installation for worry-free towing once you’re on the road.

Stabilizer bars help with road sway and “fishtailing.”

Leveling Blocks

When leveling your RV, leveling blocks quickly become your best friend. No one likes walking around a lopsided RV. Unique designs now make stacking and fastening a breeze, plus many have handles that retract while in use but pull out for easy transport and storage. In the past, leveling your RV or trailer was a chore that required a combination of guessing and luck, but not anymore! We’ve come so far in the world of leveling blocks. Leveling on the first try is now possible, plus leveling blocks are tougher and stronger than ever and are built to last. It’s an accessory worth investing in. So go ahead–level up.

Leveling blocks make leveling your trailer or RV easy and quick.

Entertainment Add-Ons

It’s easy to get caught up in the destination instead of the journey when RVing, but it’s important to enjoy every second of the ride. Installing a quality television truly gives your RV that home-away-from-home feeling we all crave. Throw in a DVD player or an articulating mounting system for easy viewing. The entertainment customizations are endless. You could even install a TV on the outside of your RV for movie nights under the stars. Some RVs are already prepped for the addition, simply add the TV. But even if yours doesn’t, adding this feature is straightforward enough that you’ll be glad you looked into it.

WiFi-4G Boosters

Being off-grid doesn’t have to mean offline. Stay connected by investing in a quality WiFi system and/or a cell phone booster. Whether you’re working remotely during the day, streaming movies at night, or playing video games with the kids, having a dependable WiFi connection could mean the difference between a dream trip or a headache. Mobile internet is only getting more accessible for RVers, particularly with initiatives like Starlink internet. This add-on accessory is a necessity for any modern camper.

Using a WiFi booster means lightning fast internet almost anywhere.

Walkie Talkies and Back-Up Cameras

Looking to revisit your inner child? Get yourself a set of Walkie Talkies and feel like a kid again when communicating. The Walkie Talkies out today are heavy-duty two-way radios, that are handy in more ways than one. Use them for fun when playing around at the campsite or use them for function when backing in or out of tight campsites. Speaking of backing up, most RVs come prepped for backup cameras. Eliminate the stress of backing up entirely by investing in a backup camera that makes setting up camp faster and much easier.

Putting your RV in reverse has never been easier thanks to backup camera technology.

GPS Units

Without a doubt, RVing is easier with a solid GPS unit. In a world where our cell phones and tablets come equipped with their own navigation options, RV-specific GPS navigators provide insight about the roads you plan to drive, whether they’re popular or those less taken. Focus on the adventure ahead and let your GPS inform you of tunnels to avoid with low clearance, and unfavorable roads to use under construction. No need to weigh yourself down with research before the trip. Let a GPS automate all of that for you.

RV-specific GPS units have paved the way for worry-free traveling.

Water Filters

Hopping from campsite to campsite is bound to make anyone parched. Quench your thirst with clean drinking water and the peace of mind you’ll gain from using an RV water filter. It’s not a must-have accessory, by any means, but it’s definitely a nice-to-have accessory that everyone will quickly come to love and appreciate. If you’re curious about how to get clean drinking water in your RV, consult our thorough guide. Whether you’re looking to install a filter inside or outside of the RV, explore which option is best for your setup and ensure your drinking water is clear, crisp, and waiting for your next sip… or gulp. It’s hot out there.

Water filters ensure clean drinking water is available on the grid and off.

Interior Organization Accessories

Any RV enthusiast will tell you the main reason for having an RV is to relax, chill, and soak in your ever-changing surroundings. However, a messy camper will derail that goal entirely. Give every item a place to call home by stocking up on a few interior organization accessories. Think baskets and bins and car seat organizers to corral items in their respective groups. Think cup holders or center consoles to hold drinks and snacks securely while on the road. Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a seasonal topic; a system that promotes cleanliness year-round will result in more time for exploring once you get to camp.

Baskets and bins keep supplies stowed away so the RV doesn’t feel cluttered.

New Furniture

While we’re on the topic of a clean and organized interior, let’s make the inside of your RV feel like home. New RV furniture can really elevate your RV experience. A more comfortable and customized look is more accessible than ever thanks to custom designs and Camping World renovation centers that work together to bring your vision to life. Whether it’s a chair or a couch or a media center for a new TV, make sure your home on the road reflects the same comforts of your permanent home. The whole family will feel comfortable and be begging for the next family RV trip.

RV furniture pieces take your RV from “on the road again” to “home sweet home”.

New RV Mattress

Let’s face it, there’s a reason why most people upgrade from sleeping on the ground, in tents, to sleeping on a bed inside an RV. Sleep! We all love it and we all need it, especially after a long day on the road or exploring the surroundings of a new campground. Stock mattresses that come with an RV are fine, but who wants a night of just fine sleep? Upgrade your mattress or get a mattress topper and have night after night of great sleep that fuels epic adventures.

A quality mattress always leads to a night of quality sleep.

Less is more, we get it, but sometimes more is simply more fun. While these accessories aren’t essential to the success of your next RV adventure, they sure are nice to have. Choose one or several add-on accessories to make RVing easier and you’ll wonder why you didn’t do so sooner.
