(The products you’d actually see if you walked into our RV right now.)

We’ve been doing this RV thing for quite a while now, and we’ve had the chance to try out a LOT of RV products along the way.  Some seem really cool at first, but then when we use them we discover some flaw we hadn’t thought of.  Or sometimes, we pack something and schlep it around and it never gets used. (That’s almost worse!)   But every once in a while, we land upon a product that just works for us and the way we RV. Those are the products I’m sharing in this list.

If we gave out a “Fit RV Seal of Approval”, these products would have it.  These are the things that we carry in the RV and really do use.  They’re the real deal – if you were to walk into our RV, you’d see them.  And if we ran an RV accessories store, we’d sell them.  I’ve limited this list to products that don’t have to be “modded in” to your RV.  The most you’ll have to do to use one of these products is turn a screwdriver – don’t worry if you’re not mechanically inclined!

So, if you have an RVing issue and you want to know if we’ve solved it with an off-the-shelf product – read on!  If you just got yourself a new RV and you’re wondering what else you need to get – this is your guide!  And if you know an RVer, and you want to get them a gift that won’t turn out to be junk – consider the products below.  This list is as close as we can get to an in-person, look you in the eye and shake your hand recommendation.  The links you see below are affiliate links, which won’t cost you anything extra, but will earn us a small commission.  Since we’re personally recommending these products, we’re OK with that.

Also, I intend to keep this list updated at least yearly.  So if you check back, you might see something new.  And without further ado, here we go!

 

Outdoor/Camping Products

These are products you don’t even need an RV to use.  Most of these would work for backpacking or car camping as well.

RV Products

These are the things that make using your RV easier, safer, and more convenient.  And that’s why we carry them.  You might be able to use some of them without an RV, but why would you do that?  Put these in your rig and hit the road.

Fitness Stuff

You’ll be surprised at how little we actually bring with us in the way of fitness products.  But that’s kind of our whole point about it – you don’t have to bring along an entire gym worth of stuff to take care of your fitness on the road!  So these are the few things we actually do take with us in the RV.  Every time.  If you want more details on them, Stef has written about them before.

Bike Stuff…  Well, RV Bike Stuff

I could go on for days about bike stuff, but most of that wouldn’t have anything to do with RVs, and you probably don’t really care what tubes we use, or which brands of power meters we run on what bikes.  So instead, I’m going to just look at products we keep in the RV that make cycling easier, safer, or more convenient.  You’ll find those here:

Galley Products

We’ve gone through several iterations of kitchen appliances/pots/pans/and gizmos over the years.  Some of them were cool for like 10 minutes, and some of them have managed to stay longer than that.  Our galley products have stayed constant for the last season, so we’ve pretty much settled on this set of things that always roll along with us.  Some of these won’t be a surprise, but maybe some of them will.

Bed and Bath Products

A lot of what you use in the bed and bath of your RV is pretty much the same stuff you would use in a “regular” home.  But there are a few things we’ve found over the years that make the day-to-day in the RV a little easier.  Here they are.

So there you have it!  Like I said, I plan to keep this list current, so as we adopt new things, and stop using old ones, you may see some changes.  If you have a favorite product you’d like to suggest to us, sound off in the comments below!  (Except don’t tell us about an Instant Pot.  We’ve heard enough about those.)
