Reverse RV  Flush Valve

Okay, Murphy's Law dictates that sometime, somewhere the black tank discharge is going to become plugged  in the middle of nowhere, right? (Especially with the kids along!)
     
Stabilizer Jack Pads

Okay, I admit to making and carrying around the 9" x 9" wooden blocks for a long, long time. I finally made the switch and really am glad I did. They do work and look better and they won't split!
Wheel Covers 4-pak

Think they are just for looks? No Sir, they shield those pricey tires from the harmful UV rays not good for our skin nor that of your tires. Helps delay the weather cracks that always mean it's time to spend some big money.

No more broken pickle jars! Adjustable (from 16" to 28") spring loaded bars that keep items in place in an RV refrigerator. We found we do not need the "double" bar they also offer.
Coleman Fold N Go Grill

Perfect for 2 people. We have had ours 3 years and never had a grill so stingy with propane adjustable 6,000 BTU.. Easy to clean removable grease tray. It does a good job for us!

Hornet & Wasp Spray

We Velcro a can above the front door. It shoots a fairly accurate 27-foot jet spray. Kills wasps, yellow jackets, tent caterpillars and scorpions. Can also be a deterrent for uninvited intruders - man or beast.

Tire Monitoring System

It gives me and my Navigator, Niki, greater peace of mind as we have had tires blow/shred in the past. Now with a warning there is time to get off the highway. A good system with good people backing it up.

25'x5/8"

Usually a 25' hose is long enough for most modern campgrounds. We carry two 25's for those times that we need the extra distance. It's a good idea to change to a new hose every couple of years.

Water Hose


Sometimes needed for a Seasonal site in an older campground.
White or blue hoses are for potable drinking water only.
