We can’t believe it has been 5 years since we moved into our RV to live and travel full-time! We celebrated this occasion by giving away a few of our favorite things.

We randomly selected five different winners. Each won one of the following prizes:

TST Tire Pressure Monitoring System

We purchased this TST Tire Pressure Monitoring System from TechnoRV, and it saved us twice within a year of purchase. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System warns you of tire pressure and heat issues, which are the leading indicators of future tire failure. If you can be warned of issues that are beginning to develop, then you will have time to get off the road and check out the problem.

Eric and Tami Johnson, the owners of TechnoRV, are full time RVers, and personally test and use all the products offered on their site. We’ve met them personally and wholeheartedly endorse them!

Read our full review of the TPMS here.

RV SnapPad® Permanent RV Jackpad Solution

We love our RV SnapPads! In fact, when we change RVS, the SnapPads came with us! This small, family owned business developed the SnapPad as a revolutionary way to level your rig.

You install them directly onto your RV’s jacks, and they provide increased stability in addition to protecting your jackpots and the concrete beneath them.

Read our full review of our RV SnapPads here.

Fix It Yourself RV Maintenance Course

One thing we all know about RVs is that they require a lot of upkeep. To help reduce the time and money it takes to have routine maintenance, our friends Ed & Liz Wilcox have created the Fix it Yourself RV Maintenance Course.

Fix It Yourself is a journey that takes you from not knowing much about your RV (if anything) to knowing all the systems in your RV and teaching you how to repair and service them. The course is broken into 9 modules including generators, water systems, roof maintenance, tires, electrical & batteries, AC & furnace, propane, slides, and refrigerators.

Smart Travel Super Bundle

This bundle of travel resources is full of ebooks, courses, and printables. Here are just a few of the highlights:

  • Our friends Lindsay & Dan’s course: Finance Your Detour: A Budgeting Program to Help You Travel More
  • Our friends Amanda & Andrew’s course: How To Make and Save Money While Traveling
  • Our friend Liz & Ed’s course: Fix It Yourself: RV Maintenance
  • Our friend Grainne’s bundle of RV planning printables: Ultimate RV Campers Bundle
  • And 26 other AMAZING products all designed to to help you!

$50 Amazon Gift Card

RVers love Amazon! They have so many of the daily supplies we use at a great price! And of course it doesn’t hurt that you can get your order delivered quickly at your campground or local Amazon locker.

Check out our list of 17 Essential RV Items here.

So sorry you missed it! The prizes have been awarded.

    Hi folks,
    Is it only open to US residents, or can anyone enter? We are Canadian but a lot of US giveaways are only for US residents.

    Thanks!
    Rob

      Canadian citizens can enter. I’m using a company to manage it and their rules say: The Sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes”) is open to all humans age 21 or older at time of entry. Residents of Taiwan, South Korea, Portugal, Italy, Austria, China, Russia, Hong Kong, Greece, France, Japan, Spain, and Czech Republic are not eligible to enter or win.

    And here’s to the next 5 years. How many miles have you clocked so far? Eric is great with TecnoRV.

      16,221 miles and 21 states so far. We’ve traveled from California to Florida across the southern US. On the east coast we’ve gone as far north as Delaware. So we definitely need more time!
