items Central Florida is a launchpad for amazing RV trips — from the springs and state parks to the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, all within a few hours of Kissimmee. After plenty of weekends on the road, these are the RV and camper gear essentials I rely on t...
The first thing I hook up at any campsite. This inline filter knocks out the funky taste and sediment from park water spigots, so your drinking and shower water stays clean. Cheap insurance for every trip.
Camco Tastepure RV Water Filter - GAC & KDF
Don't cheap out on your sewer setup. The RhinoFLEX kit has sturdy bayonet fittings and a clear elbow so you can see when the tank's done draining. It crushes down for storage and just works, trip after trip.
Rhinoflex Hose - Amazon.com
A dedicated, lead-free white hose just for drinking water — never use a garden hose. This Camco one is kink-resistant and safe for potable water, and the bright color keeps it from getting mixed up with the rinse hose.
Camco TastePURE 25-Ft RV Drinking Water Hose
Florida campsites are rarely perfectly flat. These interlocking Lego-style blocks stack to whatever height you need so your fridge runs right and you're not rolling out of bed. Light, cheap, and indestructible.
Camco 44505 Leveling Blocks 10 Count - Amazon.com
Florida's afternoon storms and iffy campground pedestals can fry your RV's electronics. This surge protector checks for wiring faults and shields your rig from spikes — a small price next to a new converter or AC unit.
Progressive Industries SSP-30X RV Smart Surge Protector
Keep your camper from creeping once you're parked. I slide a pair of these behind the tires before unhitching — they bite in and hold, and they pair perfectly with the leveling blocks for a rock-solid setup.
Camco Camper & RV Wheel Chock with Rope - 2-Pack
Not every site has the hookup your rig expects. This adapter lets a 30-amp camper plug into a 15/20-amp household outlet, and the molded grip handle means you're not yanking on the cord. A must in the storage bay.
Camco PowerGrip Dogbone RV Electrical Adapter
Some campground water pressure is high enough to blow a fitting or split a line. This brass regulator with a gauge lets you dial in a safe PSI so you protect your plumbing. The lead-free build means it's safe for drinking water too.
Renator RV Water Pressure Regulator Brass
In Florida heat, black tank odor is no joke. These toss-in drop-ins break down waste and tissue and actually keep things smelling fresh. No measuring messy liquids — just drop one in after each dump.
Camco TST MAX RV Toilet Treatment Drop-Ins
Regular TP can clog an RV system. This RV/marine tissue dissolves fast so it won't bind up your black tank or sensors. It's softer than you'd expect, and one less thing to stress about on the road.
Thetford Aqua-Soft Toilet Tissue 2-ply
A game-changer for Florida camping. This vent cover lets you leave the roof vent open for airflow even during those daily afternoon downpours, so the camper doesn't turn into a sauna. Cuts down on condensation too.
Maxxair Vent Cover - Amazon.com
Campfire vibes without the smoke, sparks, or fire-ban worries. This propane fire bowl runs off a standard tank, lights instantly, and is perfect for s'mores at sites where wood fires aren't allowed. Packs away clean.
Outland Living Firebowl UV Weather Resistant 761
When the campsite goes dark or a storm knocks out power, a good rechargeable lantern earns its keep. This one is bright, dimmable, and doubles as a power bank for your phone. I keep one in the camper and one in the car.
LE Rechargeable LED Lantern, Camping, 1000LM
Factory RV mattresses are notoriously thin and hard. A short-queen memory foam topper transforms sleep on the road — it's the single upgrade my whole family noticed most. Look for gel-infused foam to sleep cooler in Florida heat.
