Rig Set Up
A lot of these items are install-once-then-don't-mess-with-again items. Some we set up and tear down every time we land or leave.
These last about a year of full-time travel in the RV. We buy a new lube plate about once a year or so.
CURT 16721 5th Wheel Hitch Lube Plate, 10"
We have two of these - one for each propane tank.
GasStop - Propane Tank Gauge with Leak Detector
This is great when landing to make sure we're close enough to level. My only issue is that I'm too distracted and keep forgetting to turn it off after we land, then I have to replace the (button-cell) batteries more often. :( Oh, well. Batteries are ...
LevelMatePRO Wireless RV Leveling System
Checking The Air In My Tires All The Time - That's Full-Time RV Life.
VIAIR 400P-RV 40047 Tire Inflator Portable Compressor
This is so durable. The only issue is that the plastic dangly chain has worn and broken half way down, so that it's slightly less visible. But the lock itself is hardy and still going strong with no issues in over three years.
BOYISEN 5th Wheel King Pin Lock for RVs & Trailers
I use this to check the propane levels from the app to see if it's time to refill or not.
Mopeka Pro Check Wireless Propane Tank Sensor
Leveling Blocks: I have three sets of these on board for setting up to help the jacks with leveling the rig.
Camco RV Leveling Blocks with Zippered Bag
Definitely need a quality adjustable water pressure regulator to save my plumbing. This goes on every single time I hook up to water.
Camco Adjustable RV/Marine Brass Water Regulator
This Sand Free Mat Keeps Some Of The Dirt, Dust And Debris Out Of The Rig.
CGEAR Sand-Free Outdoor Rug Camping Mat
These Quick Connects Make Water Hose Hook Up and Tear Down So Much Easier
ESSENTIAL WASHER Garden Hose Quick Connect Set
Sewer Dumping Is No Fun In The First Place. But I Love the Rhino Flex Sewer Hose Set Ups Because They Are So Durable And Easy To Deal With.
Camco RhinoFLEX 20-Ft RV Sewer Hose Kit
There are times when I just can't reach… This stepstool is ideal because it folds up out of the way when not in use, but it's easy to use and sturdy when I need to be climbing up and around.
Rubbermaid 3-Step Steel Ladder, 200 lb Capacity
Bought this when we first got the rig and have never regretted it. It helps the sewer hose to drain well, and it's easy to accordion out and fold back up again.
Camco Sidewinder 30-Ft RV Sewer Hose Support
These have been sturdy, durable and excellent. They are solid and I never have to worry about them cracking like the plastic ones.
MAXXHAUL Solid Rubber Heavy Duty Wheel Chock 2-Pack
SMARTEST Thing EVER!! This may be the best investment I made when we got the truck and fifth wheel. I can reach in to the bed of the truck to latch the hitch and unhitch. I use this every single time, because I can't reach otherwise.
Powerbuilt Heavy Duty Adjustable Tire Step
If you have to hitch by yourself - which I do - these are magical! Again, I use these every single time I have to hitch up.
Camco Magnetic Hitch Alignment Kit
RV Appliances And The Like
Appliances and Things
The main bathroom in our RV had a teeny tiny (think back of your computer) 4 inch fan that did basically nothing to move the air, or remove the humidity when showering. So we replaced it with this one and it has been a total game-changer. Love the re...
Fan-Tastic Vent RV Roof Vent with Thermostat
This has stayed on the wall traveling down the road in the RV for the entire 3+ years we've been bumping along. It's so much more convenient than managing all the bottles.
Better Living Euro TRIO 3-Chamber Dispenser
We use this literally every single day in our RV. It has performed perfectly for hte past three years.
Furrion FMSN09-BL RV Microwave-0.9 cu. ft
Our Stereo

Victron MultiPlus-II 2X Pure Sine Inverter Charger
We have six of these on-board. Love them.
Lion Energy UT1300 BT LiFePO4 Battery 105Ah 12.8V
This is for when we just need a little more length to reach the power pedestal. We don't use it all the time, but when we need it, we're sure glad we've got it.
RVGUARD 50 Amp 15 Ft RV/EV Extension Cord
Surge Protector That I Use Before We Plug Into Any Park Pedestal…
Power Watchdog PWD50EPO, 50A Bluetooth Surge
This Will Revolutionize the Way You Monitor Your Power
Victron Energy System Monitoring Display Screen
I use this and a chain to lock my Power Watchdog (Surge Suppressor/Power Manager) to the pedestal because someone tried to walk away with it one time.
Master Lock Combination Padlock, Gym Locker
I like this right angle adapter for the power cord so that it takes some of the pressure off of the cord itself.
ParkPower 50A Locking Male to Female Adapter
