This is a great way to support your sewer hose from your rig.  The best part about it is the compact design when you are traveling…space is at a premium and this one is a space-saver.

PRO hack: use vinyl gutters to route and protect your hose from the top and bottom!

This adjustable regulator has worked great for us!  If you are at the front of a park, the water pressure can be damaging to the plumbing in your RV, I have seen literal geysers coming from the ground where someone hit the water pole at their site! Don't risk it and use this to set the correct pressur...

Firstly, you need to know if you have a 30 amp or 50 amp RV. This one is for your 50 amp. We made the mistake first of getting a cord that was too short. We have found that a 25' will hook up just about anywhere. The 15' was not long enough. While i...

Would you drink from an old water hose? That is just what you are doing when you go to many RV and State parks. Water filters are an RV essential.  If you plan on full-time use, or are going to be in an area with problematic hard water, definitely get a 3-stage filter! Your pipes, shower walls, and sinks will thank you for it!

Are you going to be in cold weather? A heated hose is an absolute essential to keep your hose from freezing. This heated hose from Vevor comes in multiple different lengths, I do recommend at least a 25 or 30 footer since camping sites can vary.
