Fall RV Gadgets
TL;DR: Upgrade your RV trips with cool accessories like solar motion sensor lights, RV awning sunshades, outdoor rooms, solar ovens, portable fire pits, custom beds, fridge-cooling fans, and temperature monitoring systems. These gadgets and upgrades enhance security, comfort, and convenience, making your RVing experience even more enjoyable, whether you're boondocking, attending festivals, or staying at campgrounds.
2020 has been one of the biggest years for outdoor hobbies and RVing, in part due to the pandemic. Many travelers feel significantly safer road-tripping in an RV versus hotels or other rentals occupied by others. With any RV road trip, comes the need for accessories. You may already have the essentials, but what about upgrading to some newer versions or even getting some new gadgets all-together? We’ve compiled a list of some of the coolest RV accessories to spruce up your trips.
Solar Motion Sensor Light
These motion-detector lights are mounted right onto your RV in a spot of your choosing. They are solar-powered, which means less maintenance for the owner. Boondockers especially appreciate the extra level of safety these allow. We recommend buying one to go above each door of your RV and another for the back of the RV (especially if you tow a vehicle). A popular choice for RVers is the LITOM brand found on Amazon.
This four-pack is waterproof, LED, and provides a wide range for more coverage. They also have a flat profile which is necessary so as to not add any bulk to the outside of your RV. Each light comes with a separate mount that attaches to the RV, and then you can attach the light to the mount. If you are able to, we recommend screwing the mount in or using museum putty to adhere it.
RV Awning Sunshade
If you’ve ever wanted a little more privacy at a campground, then this is for you. This easy-to-install sunshade is an excellent upgrade to your current awning. It blocks UV rays, keeps the area under your awning cooler, and also helps block the wind. You’ll have it made in the shade with this accessory. Tentproinc sells a highly-reviewed sunshade on Amazon that comes in a large variety of sizes to match your awning.
