Did you know that most RV manufacturers use the same key pattern for storage compartment locks on every RV they build? Look at your RV keychain. If your storage compartment key is stamped CH-751, then almost every RVer has a key to your RV! This is probably okay if all...
I’m going to step out on that proverbial limb and talk about a controversial subject: holding tank treatments. It seems that everyone has a favorite toilet chemical. They are also certain that the inferior substitute you are using is nowhere near as cheap, effective, safe or easy to use as...
RVs are exposed to the extremes of weather. Our rigs hang out at the beach, bake in the sun and endure the rain and snow. Rust and corrosion are commonplace, and we want our RV to last a long time—right? I’ve been using a product for many years that is...
Most RV entry doors have a window, but in many cases, that window is frosted glass. That’s fine for letting light in; However, it’s difficult to see through! This can be a problem when someone knocks on your door, especially at night. If you’re tired of having a window you...
I’ve reviewed other Thermacell products, so when they recently came out with a new backpacker version, I was interested, but skeptical, as I don’t backpack often.

Most RVs don’t have large stove tops, and the burners are usually fairly low output. This can be a challenge when you want to cook a big pot of food such as gumbo, stew or soup. Several of my RVing friends carry induction cook-tops, and they love them. I finally...
For years, the RV industry has needed a better entry-step option for raised trailers and pickup campers. I’ve seen seriously unstable and barely-usable steps on these types of RVs. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a better solution? Well now, a better option is available: GlowStep Revolution from Torklift....
Let’s talk about the universal plate repair kit. No, it’s not for dinner plates, or upper dental plates, but rather for plates where gas spring door hardware attaches. Many RVs have gas springs on their outer compartment and bay doors, and, all too often, a strong gust of wind (or...
