There are RV necessities and then there are RV accessories that will make your life a little easier and more fun while on the go. Whether you are a professional or a novice RV person, there are ways to make your life on the road just a little bit easier and more comfortable with these RV accessories. Sure you maybe don’t need a cute flag, but you do need a mat to wipe your feet on and your body will thank you for the extra mattress padding.
RV Accessories That Are Really Necessities
RV accessories are not only limited to the fun, decoration-type items you might be thinking of. The world of RV accessories is that and so much more, a lot of the RV accessories are necessities to make your life on the road more comfortable and convenient. A high-quality mattress pad is a necessary item for any RV or travel trailer. Most RV mattresses are a bit thinner and not nearly as comfortable as most mattresses you will find in homes and you will appreciate that extra layer of comfort.
Showering in an RV is really only ideal for children, as most RV showers are quite small, to say the least, which is fine if you only sporadically travel in your RV. For those that are always on the road, a shower extender is a necessity, helpful for those who want to freely bathe daily or are a little bit bigger than the shower itself. In addition, it can’t help to upgrade your shower head at the same time to enhance your showering experience.
Most everyone has some sort of GPS on their phone these days, some RVs have them built-in or you can conveniently get a portable one for your RV. That being said a good ole’ fashion Road Atlas map is important to have as the rest of the list of RV accessories. A map is not something that you would have to use often with today’s technology and accessibility to navigation, and it is defiantly not something you would want to be without if the time came when you really did need a map. If you are looking for all of the RV accessories to build out your RV, RV Parts Country, has everything you need for a successful journey.

The RV Accessories That Make Your Life Easier
Life in an RV doesn’t mean letting go of the organization and the comforts of not having your home on wheels. Items in the cupboard can shift easily and have a plate stacker, spring-loaded cupboard bars, portable trash bag holder, and shatterproof wine glasses. While on the kitchen items, get a good quality cast iron pan, as it can be used on the stovetop, in the oven, and even in the campfire, literally the most versatile cooking item you can have and when well taken care of it can last a lifetime. Also, a collapsible kitchen sink drainer is a safe saver and much needed when you just would rather look at the stars than hand dry the dishes.
Most RV’ers spend a considerable amount of time outside, but that doesn’t mean that you want to take the outdoors inside your home. A good quality mat that will keep the dirt outside is a vital RV accessory, even better if it is a sand-free mat, which deters sand from sticking to it, in turn, less sand and dirt tracked into your living space. Comfortable chairs, a good dustpan, a small handheld vacuum, an awning for shade, and all of the outdoor cooking items are needed for the best outdoor experiences.
