Top 10 RV Toys and Accessories That Make RVing Better
TL;DR: Must-have RV accessories for enhanced road trips include a dash cam for safety, a quiet generator, an Apple TV connector for streaming, a cell signal booster, a cordless vacuum, a portable propane fire pit, a rapid egg cooker, a compact coffee maker, an offbeat attractions book, and a Harvest Hosts membership for unique stays.
When my wife and I set out to RV through all of the Lower 48, we had virtually no idea what we were doing, or what products and accessories to buy. We just wanted to hit the open road and let life happen! It was a grand experiment in a Grand Design.
Six years, 48 States, tens of thousands of miles and 2 RVs later, we are still madly in love with RVing, and grow more fond of the lifestyle every day.
On a particularly long and flat day of driving through Nebraska recently, I was thinking about everything we’ve learned over the years that has made our modern-day RV adventures so much easier and more pleasurable than when we started out. Among the many invaluable intangibles (friends, experiences, favorite Harvest Hosts locations), there are also plenty of products that have added to the experience. Sometimes things can provide happiness! Here is our list of RV must-haves.

1. AUKEY Dash Cam
- Why we like it: A very small price for peace of mind. It’s nice knowing that everything is being recorded in the case of a crash or an alien sighting. If you are in a collision, the camera detects and automatically saves the footage. Otherwise, it records on a continuous loop, re-writing older footage once the SD card gets full.
- Recommended Dash Cam (this was actually Amazon’s top recommendation and we agree): AUKEY Dash Cam, 1080P Dashboard Camera Recorder, 6-Lane 170 Degree Wide Angle Lens, Supercapacitor, G-Sensor and Clear Nighttime Recording
- Price: $69.99 (with 978 positive reviews on Amazon!)
