The Basic Upgrades

A few essential aftermarket accessories you will want to install in your rig are a drinking hose and a sewer hose. Buy sufficient length to maintain your water system but ensure you invest in good quality products only. Poor-quality lines can kink and leak easily. In addition to these items, you can also consider getting a water filter to reduce contaminants in campground water.

Kitchen Accessories

Though there are various items to organize your kitchen area and make it more appealing, we have highlighted below a few to get you started.

Invest in reusable dishes in stackable sets to optimize the space in your RV kitchen. You can also buy collapsible bowls to make extra room in your cabinets. A cast-iron pan can be another valuable addition to your camper, as you can place this versatile accessory on the stove, keep it over a fire, or put it in the oven. Try to find space-saving designs that are easy to manage on your trips and look fantastic, too.

Safety

More importantly, you’ll want to make your rig safer for you and your passengers. Unfortunately, many RVs come with standard locks that you can open using keys of a similar model. Crafty thieves can make the most of this to get an easy entry into your rig. As a safety measure, consider changing out your camper’s locking system with a more robust and secured model. This can come in handy, especially when you’re boondocking.

Your RV’s tires also go a long way in keeping you safe during transit, which is why you’ll want to ensure they remain in tip-top shape. If your camper didn’t come with a tire pressure monitoring system, consider installing one before you leave home. This accessory helps you stay on top of your tires’ health, and you can use it to find out if a tire is losing air. Being aware of a problem is better than getting caught unexpectedly, as you can then apply the necessary fixes promptly.
