An RV can make memorable family vacations easier or allow you to retire and travel the country. Regardless of how you plan to use your RV, you’ll need to equip it with the right gear and add-ons to make traveling and setting up easy. The guide below explains several must-have RV accessories.

A Guide to Essential RV Accessories 

1. Rhino Flex Sewer Hose Kit

Maybe the least pleasant part of owning an RV, emptying the sewage tank is a necessary part of RV maintenance. To prevent any sewage from escaping, you’ll want a long, flexible hose with a secure fitting. It should also have an adaptable head to match any dump site connection, like the one offered with the Rhino Flex Sewer Hose Kit.

2. RV Toilet Paper

Toilet paper is designed to break down easily, but sometimes your camper needs a specialized product. Specially designed toilet paper will dissolve more quickly, preventing clogs in the toilet and the holding tank. When you’re ready to pump the RV out, you’ll find it much easier.

3. Wastewater Chemicals

To keep your tank clean, break down waste, and prevent unpleasant odors from sullying your RV, you’ll need specialized chemical cleaners. You can find them in liquid, tablet, or pod form from your RV accessories provider. To use them, just fill the toilet tank with a few gallons of water, add the cleaner, and flush the toilet so the chemicals mix with the water.

4. Electrical Adapter

Your RV site will have a 30-amp or 50-amp electrical connection that allows you to plug-in and power devices in the RV. However, if you don’t have the right adapter, you may not be able to access power. Invest in a 50- to 30-amp converter to make your stay easier.

5. Wheel Chocks

To prevent rolling and keep your RV secure, you’ll need to chock the wheels when you have it parked at a campsite. You should have enough chocks to put under each wheel in front and in back; make this task a priority as you’re setting up so that no one is caught by a rolling wheel.

6. Director Chairs

Space is of the essence in an RV, so bringing full-size chairs is usually out of the question. Directors chairs that fold are a comfortable pick, and they’re easy to set up. Look for an option with a coated canvas to make cleaning easier.

7. RV Mats

In the fight against dirt in your RV, a mat is one of your best allies. Set one up in front of the door for storing shoes to limit mud and debris that may get tracked in otherwise. Look for one that folds easily for storage.
