RV Accessories For The Modern Family - By: Jerry Grossman, Posted on: 2007-08-02

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.

The first thing you should make sure that you have installed in your RV is a good-quality RV air conditioner. If you are traveling during the summertime, or to any of the southern states in the U.S., then an RV air conditioner is essential -- it is NOT a luxury item. Heat exhaustion is a killer of many people each summer - don't you be one of them. Of course, no air conditioner is cheap, but I GUARANTEE that you will never regret buying one for your RV. Make that the number one purchase on your list.

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.

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?

So, there you are -- some GREAT accessories for your RV, accessories for modern families, that is. So, get down to your local RV dealership and get some of this stuff. We'll see you on the road this summer!
