Top RV Gadgets & Accessories

Over the last five years of full-time RV travel, we’ve tried our share of gadgets and accessories to make life easier. In honor of our 5 year Nomadiversary we decided to list the top 5 that we absolutely can’t do without.

Watch the video below as we discuss our top 5 RV accessories or read below for a more in-depth explanation of each one. 

Electrical Management System

The Surge Guard is much more than a surge protector. It provides total electrical protection for your RV. The Surge Guard is also the only device on the market to protect line and load side electrical, and we learned the hard way how valuable it is. We had a surge take out our power transfer switch, and it cost more than this to fix it. We have the external one, but they also make one that can be hard wired. They also make a 30 amp system.

Click here for a free Electrical Information Guide to help you decide which protection system is best for you or watch this terrific video below where Eric explains what the Surge Guard will do for you.

TST Tire Pressure Monitoring Solution

This TST Tire Pressure Monitoring System saved us twice within a year of purchase. It doesn’t stop flat tires, but it can save you from a lot of damage to your RV in the event of a blow out by early warning.  It monitors both  tire pressure and heat, which are the leading indicators of tire failure.

Watch our install and review video below or click here to read our full in depth assessment.

We purchased both of the items above through Techno RV, which is owned by Full-Time RVers who test all the products themselves.

 

Battle Born Lithium Batteries

This is an investment in your RV that you will be grateful for again and again. Before we upgraded from lead acid to lithium batteries we were constantly worried about keeping our residential refrigerator powered overnight without damaging the batteries or

We choose Battle Born Batteries after we met the founders and some of their team at a rally last year. They are terrific folks and really care about their product and their customers.

Want to learn more about us & how how well Battle Born Batteries work for us? Check out this cool video they made!

Want to see Sean’s total power upgrade and DIY install ? Start here. He even includes a parts list and all the costs.

When we downsized our toy hauler to a 30′ fifth wheel earlier this year, we took our lithium batteries with us and upgraded the existing solar. Learn more about that DIY solar project here. 

RV SnapPad® Permanent RV Jackpad Solution

We love our RV SnapPads so much that we took them with us when we purchased a new RV.  They are easily installed directly onto your RV’s jacks to provide increased stability and protect your jackpads.

Watch the video review below or read our full review here.

DIY Water Filtration System

We’ve used several single canister water filters on our RV in the past, but our water lines still managed to gather particles that would slow or stop the water flow to our faucets. The problem was especially noticeable in the kitchen sink and the shower. Restoring full water flow required finding where the particles were lodged in the lines, and then cleaning them out.

If you'd like to ensure you have clean drinking water and want to protect your RV water lines, but don't want to pay a lot of money for a water filtration system, consider this DIY RV Water Filter system. Follow our easy steps to create your own.In addition, we found that most of the single canister filters are made with carbon filters. These filters are really only good for the taste and smell of the water, but do nothing to keep the water lines clear of sand, silt, scale, or rust particles. We choose to create our own DIY water filtration system with a series of 3 high flow canisters.

Click here to read the instructions and watch a video on construction of this DIY Water System. 

If you prefer a ready-made solution, check out the RV Water Filter Store. Managed by full-time RVers they have several plug-and-play options. The one most similar to ours is called the South of the Border.

Internet Connectivity

We’ve struggled with having reliable internet for our needs as Full-Time remote employees. Many freelancers are able to manage with a bit of connectivity here and there, but we need to video conference every weekday. We tried several different options on our first year on the road, and now have it dialed in. We’ve been using a Pepwave router, which also serves as a cellular signal and wifi booster, for three years now and we love it!

WeBoost Cellular Booster Review

One of our greatest challenges to living & traveling full-time in our RV was internet access. We’re working remotely and need a reliable internet solution. We also have family that we want to keep in contact with frequent phone calls and video chat.

This article is our personal review of the WeBoost Cellular signal booster. We are no longer using this booster, you can read why below. If you want to read about what has worked for us the last few years, click here to see our review of the Pepwave router.

Cellular Data for Internet Access

After about six months of struggling with unreliable campground WiFi to access the internet, we decided to get a couple of Verizon Jetpacks, which function as internet mobile hotspots using a cellular network. With a cellular company like Verizon, you can choose the amount of data you want to pay for. This was a definite improvement, as they work well when we have a strong cellular signal. The problem is when we don’t have a great signal.

Our friends at TechnoRV have a FREE Cellular Information Guide you can download to learn more. 

WeBoost Cellular Signal Booster

That’s where we turned to the WeBoost, a cellular signal booster. It is a 50 dB gain system, which is the most boost allowed by a cellular booster that can be used in motion. It has both an omni-directional outside and inside antenna. We decided to purchase it in a kit that comes with the following components:

  • WeBoost Amplifier
  • Omni-Directional Outside Antenna with Mounting Bracket
  • 20 Feet RG6 cable for outside antenna
  • Desktop Inside Antenna with 15-foot cable
  • AC and DC Power Supply
  • Mounting Hardware

This system makes it easy to set up when you arrive at a location or to permanently mount it.

Basic Details:

  • Omni-Directional Antenna
  • Boosts Voice and Data
  • Works with Smart Phones and Mobile Hot Spots
  • Works with the Major Cell Carriers in US and Canada

Installation

Installation was very simple. Sean used the brackets to mount the omni-directional antenna to our ladder on the roof of the RV. The outside antenna would also work great with the TechnoRV Suction Cup Mount.

Then he drilled a hole in the vent fan cover to run the cable through to the inside of the RV. Afterward, he applied some silicone sealant around the cable and hole to avoid any leaks. He used command hooks to run the cable along with the ceiling inside the RV to the back wall where we have a power outlet. Then he mounted the amplifier to the wall. Finally, we have a little ledge on a loft space in our RV where we put the interior antenna and keep our Jetpacks.

WeBoost Review

The WeBoost Cellular booster was a definite improvement. We used it for a year from the east coast to the west coast in numerous campgrounds (and boondocking). It did helped increase our signal on both our iPhones, as well as our Verizon Jetpacks.

We dry camped in northern Texas for 2 weeks and had NO cellular service outside of our RV. However, inside the RV with the WeBoost, we always had at least 2 bars.

The ladder-mounted exterior antenna stayed firmed in place over some seriously bumpy highways. The wall-mounted interior amplifier has stayed in place as well, BUT the soldering broke. We called WeBoost customer service when it quit working and did not get a good response. They acted like it was an operator error. Sean opened it and saw the breakage inside. Since it was past the warranty date, we did not send it back, but we also decided to look for a more sturdy option.

We switched to the Pepwave router and it has worked perfectly for us for three years now.

RV SnapPads Product Review

We’re always looking for ways to protect our RV investment, and we’ve found RV SnapPads to be the perfect leveling and stability solution for our Fifth Wheel. In this article we’ll discuss the installation, how they’ve held up to multiple moves, and the financial benefits of using them.

RV SnapPads Explained

Please note that the RV SnapPad link in this article is an affiliate link meaning we’ll receive a small commission if you purchase them. However, we promise that we will only provide an honest review of any product, including this one, to you.

RV SnapPads are permanent jack pads made from recycled rubber. We were initially impressed with them because there was no need to put down wood blocks or plastic squares before lowering our jacks when setting-up the RV in a new spot.

Other benefits, include decreased vibration, no worries of slippage, and protection of the mounted feet from the elements and road hazards. The pads increase your rig’s surface area/footprint and improve stability. Perhaps the most often ignored reason to have a good set of SnapPads for your rig is jack foot protection. The metal leveling jacks on your automatic system are absolutely integral to how your levelers function.

Installation

Installation was very easy. We were parked at a campground, so Sean had to hook up the fifth wheel to the truck, so he could install them without any safety issues or having the RV drop all the way to the ground. He followed the simple instructions and was able to install them in less than 15 minutes. This included hooking-up the RV to the truck and re-leveling the RV when the SnapPads were all installed on the leveling jacks.

All it took was placing some dish detergent around the lip of the SnapPad and the edge of the landing pad on the levelers. Once that was complete, he lowered the jacks so the landing pad snapped in place in the SnapPad. Once in place, he wiped off the excess detergent. He repeated the process working from front to back and that was it!

The great thing is that once they are installed, they are designed to stay on. There is no need to remove and re-install. Less than 15 minutes to protect your expensive investment is time well spent.

Review

We are very happy with our RV SnapPads. First, we have traveled well over 1,500 miles with them on, including many miles in strong rain, wind, and heat, without any issues. They stayed secure and did not receive any road damage. We were also parked on different surfaces.

Initially, we were on a concrete pad in an RV park. One thing we noticed once these were installed was that the vibrations throughout the RV were reduced. Before the SnapPads, if I wiggled my toe in the garage, Sean would feel it in the bedroom. That was no longer the case once we had the SnapPads installed. From concrete, we went to a couple of gravel sites. The rocks did not cut any chunks or knicks in to SnapPads.

We also spent close to 3 weeks boondocking. We were parked on dirt in a fairground field. The ground was extremely unlevel, so we had to use some wood blocks on the right side so the levelers would level the RV. There was no slippage on the wood with the SnapPads installed. I was a little worried because of the angle, but they held firm on the blocks. Additionally, we had some fairly bad rain storms, which caused the dirt to turn to mud. With the increased surface area created by the SnapPads, we did not sink. The pads that did sink a little, did not go far enough for us to have to re-level. Also, the metal pads on the levelers were not exposed to the dirt and mud, protecting them. Click here to read more about our first boondocking (dry camping) experience.

Besides the quality of the product, we have heard nothing but positive reviews of the customer service. Some friends of ours had a problem with one of their SnapPads and called the company. Without any questions, the company sent out a replacement pad. As an RVer, it is difficult to plan on receiving mail and getting products when needed. The type of customer service provided by the SnapPad manufacturers is what we need as RVers. Predictable and timely service is what is needed when on the road.

Financial Benefits

There are several financial benefits to installing the RV SnapPads on your rig. Read below to see what Sean’s research came up with our watch the following video.

Jack Pad Protection

The primary financial consideration is of the metal jack pads that the RV SnapPads protect. cost to replace one of the foot pads on the leveling system is between $35 and $45 for the part according to what I have been able to find. If you are not a do-it-yourselfer, you are going to have to pay labor to have the standard foot pads installed by an RV Tech, which can be around $100 per hour depending on where you live.

None of this is necessary with the purchase of SnapPads. They offer protection for the leveling system foot pads by taking the punishment of the road, dirt, and elements instead of the metal feet. The metal feet will not be damaged from sitting in mud, gravel, jagged concrete, or asphalt, which all have the potential of decreasing the life expectancy of the metal feet that come installed on the leveling system. If the entire leveling system needs to be replaced, it can cost from $500 to over a couple of thousand dollars. The SnapPad XTRA set costs about $150 and comes with 6 pads. Our Heartland Cyclone has 6 leveling jacks, so this product is perfect. That is $25 per pad, which is cheaper than the cost of a replacement metal foot pad for the leveling system.

Electrical Protection

Since the pads are rubber, they offer some protection from electrical surges caused by storms and lightning. We recently met someone who had a brand new fifth wheel out for its maiden voyage and the first night was affected by an electrical surge from a thunderstorm. Although less common, these things do happen. He suffered over $5,000 worth of damage including the transfer switch, inverter, converter, television set, refrigerator, and the microwave. If he had SnapPads installed on his leveling system instead of having just bare metal, the chances of having as much damage may have been minimized since the pads are rubber and the metal would not have been directly on the ground.

There is some disagreement on this in the RV community. Some experts say to make sure your leveling jacks are up during lightning and others say it does not matter. Having the SnapPads is good insurance no matter which of these theories are correct. As a side note, for indirect power surges, a good surge protector will also provide protection for your electrical components. We have the SnapPads and a Progressive Dynamics surge protector for our RV and are confident these small investments will provide protection. Click here for a free Electrical Information Guide to help you decide which protection system is best for you.

Parking Surface Protection

If you park your RV in your driveway or concrete pad, the metal feet on the leveling system will leave rust marks on the concrete that need to be cleaned. It is not expensive to clean them, but does require some cleaning product expense along with elbow grease and time. This can be avoided with the SnapPads.

Environmental Protection

The final financial benefit of the RV SnapPads is for Mother Nature. SnapPads are made from recycled tires in Indiana. The EPA estimates that recycling tires saves us millions of dollars. There are also savings in health costs, which are incurred from the health effects of burning tires and from diseases from mosquitos, which use these tire disposal sites as breeding grounds. There are also social costs associated with aesthetic changes to the environment, which is difficult to price. For RVers, environmental damage is huge. We love to spend time in the outdoors. Damage from tires stockpiles and pollution damage limit our ability to enjoy all of nature.

Overall, we could not be happier with the product and highly recommend them to other RVers for all of the benefits and qualities mentioned above.
