I don’t know about you, but it sometimes feels like a constant battle when we’re camping between the dirt and our patio mats… until we found these Gili Gear ones! If you like to boondock (or heck, if you like to prevent dust from getting in) you likely have some sort of patio mat already. We had gotten one from Amazon that did what it was supposed to – got most of the dirt off our shoes before we got in. The issue was, it STAYED on the mat. The … Read more

It’s no joke that while Amazon Prime has a TON of awesome camping stuff, not all of it is very good. A savings of $5 on $100+ items is barely worth mentioning (and certainly not when there’s items that are FORTY PERCENT OFF!) I’ve compiled the best prime day camping deals I’ve found, and alot of it was through various RV forums that are VERY in the know about where the savings are! I learn so much from these RV groups (here’s a couple of my fav threads I saved … Read more

If you’re looking to upgrade your mattress in your RV but aren’t sure where to go, then check out my experience with Mattress Insider! There are certainly some concerns at first – finding the right size mattress (since they aren’t often standard) and figuring out sheets for a custom bed were some of ours. We were especially concerned about cost and if a mattress meant for an rv could ever be as comfy as a “normal” one. Anyways, here are our thoughts regarding price, hassle, and comfort when it came … Read more

Do you pull an RV with a traditional 5th wheel hitch in the bed of your truck? If so, you probably hate the hassle of having to load the heavy 5th wheel hitch on the back of your truck every time you go camping.  Then you’ve got the mounting rails that permanently stay in the bed of your truck and make it impossible to slide anything in and out of the bed. So does that mean you should switch to a simple gooseneck hitch and get an adapter for your … Read more

The humble RV sewer hose, or as I like to call it… the stinky slinky. The RV sewer hose is the black sheep of the RV family, the dirty little cousin that nobody wants to play with. That is until things start filling up and you have no place to “go”. Then, the best RV sewer hose gallops in to save the day, instantly relieving the pressure you were starting to feel.  However, notice I said “the best RV sewer hose”. The wrong RV sewer hose can do just the … Read more

The best trailer backup cameras can save you a mountain of headaches! No one wants to start their camping trip by backing into a poor old oak tree at the edge of your campsite.  Why risk causing thousands of dollars of damage when you could just get a simple RV backup camera? A rear view camera will make it waaaay easier to park your rig without risking damage so you can start relaxing by the fire sooner! But trailer backup cameras come in all different varieties (CCD vs CMOS sensor, … Read more

Your RV steps take a lot of abuse. When you’re at your campsite, your RV steps are the gateway to a warm shower and some much-needed A/C. When you’re inside, your RV steps lead you to the great outdoors, that big world beyond, mother nature and all her… (maybe I got a little too dramatic there). Even without my outdoorsy poetic ramblings, the fact is… your RV steps are a humble, yet important part of your trailer which is why a lot of us add extra RV step covers.  So … Read more
