  1. I replaced our hybrid travel trailer's OEM bathroom exhaust fan with a Fan Vent, the Fan-Tastic Vent 3-Speed. This fan is strong enough to pull the headboards off the bed, making closing the door much easier. Very quiet on 300 & 600cfm, 55 and 60 dB respectively. 900 cfm at 65 db, a bit bigger, but still not bad. Overall, a great fan at a reasonable price.
  2. The TS-30 Transfer Switch is part of our travel trailer project, which also involved the installation of a 3,000-watt inverter. With this switch, there is no momentary power loss when switching between primary and secondary or return power sources. It's pre-wired so all I had to do was plug everything in. The purpose of the ATS is to cut back to the "Grid" power in the event the inverter drains battery power and/or if the solar array creates an overvoltage condition that forces the inverter to shut down.
  3. we bought three RV step covers from Camco for our 5th wheel because the three steps have no coating on them. We usually track in the mud and wet, muddy feet. These rugs effectively prevent that. They attach using coil springs that fit into one of two "groomed" holes (for different width steps) at the bottom of the step. Installation is pretty easy and these mats are actually pretty sturdy and won't move much, even in heavy traffic. The options for colors are nice. We ordered 18" long rugs and they were perfect for our RV.
  4. After reading many reviews about the backup camera from Furrion, I decided to buy it. It is supposed to be plug-n-play. My 2019 Coleman RV was built with rear camera wiring already installed. I downloaded the user manual online which gave me more information on how to set up this camera. I think one of its strongest features is the 4.3-inch anti-glare screen, which is effective at automatically adjusting contrast, brightness, and color day or night.
  5. We recently returned from our first camping trip after installing our RV Sliding Toppers. I ordered the Solera awning from Amazon. It arrived in good condition with all parts. It scrolls in and out as it should. During our camping trip, we encountered heavy rain and thunderstorm that lasted 45 minutes. The water was poured out efficiently and no water got past the whore's seal. Before installing the awning, we had what was essentially a waterfall inside the camp as a large amount of rain fell on top of the whore, unfortunately, it was on a slight incline that allowed the water to flow. towards the seals. So far we are very satisfied with the awning.
  6. I bought 4 RV batteries for Boondocking from Battle Born for a solar project, these batteries are amazing and will work well with any acid. And last 3000 cycles or more. I run 400 to 800 watts all night with no problems. The battery charges very quickly even when it's cloudy. Additionally, it can supply between 14.4 and 14.6 volts, which is enough power to run most RV devices. I can totally use this battery as a backup power source because it is so versatile and reliable.
  7. This RV breaker box helped my car stay safe when I switch from onshore power to RV power. To wire a breaker box, I need a 50-amp breaker, a circuit breaker box, and several tools, such as a wire stripper, drill and bits, a screwdriver, and a craft knife. First, I choose where to place the breaker box reasonably. Position the breaker box on the wall and secure it with screws. Loosen the fastener securing the breaker box’s dead-front panel. Remove this section and touch the leads with a voltage meter to confirm there is no current.
  8. I purchased an RV thermostat from Dometic when the factory one in my RV started going out. It replaced my old one perfectly and has been functioning very well for a month now. I love that this thermostat connects to both the air conditioner and the furnace. As you probably know, some models only link to the furnace, which isn’t ideal for someone like me who values convenience.
  9. If you are worried about oxidizing in your RV like me, I will share with you how to remove oxidation from RV fiberglass. I recommend parking your motorcycle in a shaded area. Putting it in direct sunlight dries the polish and wax quickly, making it difficult to polish. Then wash it with a warm soapy solution. Apply a buffering compound to the fiberglass of your motorhome using an applicator. Spread the polish on a 2.5cm-sized portion and start polishing the backing. Take the yellow sponge and apply the polishing compound. Use the orbital polisher to spread the polish in small 22 inch square sections, combining up and down with right and left movements. Finally, waxing is an essential step for the complete restoration of RV fiberglass.
  10. I have three slips, and it's a pain to drive my trailer to the dump once a week. So I did some research on some of the best macerator pumps for RV, and decided on the Flojet 18555-000A. Now I just pump into a portable storage tank and drive my pickup to the dump. It provides 30 second dry run protection in case I forget to turn it off after the waste stops flowing from the waste outlet. And it has a reasonable price that doesn't affect the bank account too much. In fact, it falls right below the $200 average for an RV catalytic pump, which is perfect given the number of times I plan to use the pump I've chosen.
  11. These were the best accessories I ever put on my 30 ft RV, which is the Camco Cyclone Rotating Sewer Vent. This product uses surrounding air to ensure foul odors get vented out because this model follows the wind’s movement through rotating an incredible 360 degrees. This cyclone RV vent has an easy installation process. I can instead attach this product using a sealant. I was thrilled to see this product offer some choices concerning its color scheme. It ensures buyers can choose an option capable of meshing with their rig’s roof without issues.
