Accessories For Your RV

What do you think of when you hear the word "RV?" If you can remember 30 or 40 years ago, you might be thinking of a smallish, cramped tin can on wheels. Those were the days - the bad days! But of course, today's RV's are nothing like that. They are sleek, stylish, roomy, and you can get them equipped with just about every creature-comfort possible. And what we want to do in this brief article is briefly mention some of the ways that you can outfit your RV.

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.

Next item for your shopping cart? An RV backup camera. Attached near the business end of your RV, the camera will transmit a very clear image on a display screen for you to use when you are backing up your rig. This is also an essential - why risk injuring someone, or damaging your rig? You can get them with embedded microphones (for communicating with the outside world) -- you can even get units that display the picture right in your rearview mirror - you'll think that you're James Bond (and your neighbors will be SO envious).

Here's a more mundane recommendation: Make sure that your rig is outfitted with the proper size and type of RV holding tanks. These tanks hold all the nasty 'waste' from the you-know-where (ugh!), until you get a chance to empty it at your favorite campsite. You had better inspect yours -- have you ever been in an RV with a leaking holding tank? Pee-yuu!

And while we're at it, you might as well let your dealer inspect your water tank (this is the tank that holds fresh water, so you have a water supply even when you are traveling). When they do this, have them also take a look at your RV water pump. If necessary, have a new one installed. These 2 items are necessary when you travel, because without them you will literally be high and dry.

Here's some further recommendations: Bring along a good quality TV set. Why bother, you ask? Aren't we supposed to be on vacation? Well, what if you want to see the big game? What if it's raining outside and the kids have nothing to do? You know you need it, so bring it 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, those are my recommendations. Vacationing this year in your RV can be a tremendously wonderful experience, but after all we need some comforts out there, don't we? See you on the road this summer!
