You need to use your shower! I don’t mean to imply that you must go take a bath; I’m only suggesting you use your shower when you aren’t using it. You have to admit, most RV showers are wasted space when you’re not bathing. But you can reclaim that wasted...
In a past RV Gadget Box, I reviewed the basic Thermacell mosquito repellent device. I field-tested my device in Alaska and it really does the job on pesky insects, even those legendary blood-suckers up north. Thermacell recently added a camping lantern to their product line and I couldn’t wait to...
LED lighting technology is advancing so fast, it’s hard to keep up. I have LED lights everywhere in my RV and have converted my Maglites to Cree LEDs. I had been looking for a good LED work light and came across this pocket-sized marvel. The NEBO Larry-C flashlight is, well,...
If you think I have an obsession with duct tape, you’d be right. Well, I recently “discovered” the best duct tape ever: Gorilla-brand heavy-duty duct tape. This tape has a super-aggressive adhesive that is twice as thick as standard tapes, and it will stick to surfaces that other tapes can’t...

These adapters are commonly referred to as “dog bones,” and they are essentially a plug and a receptacle attached to a short...
It seems like RVers always need to store a vehicle or two. It may be your motorhome going into seasonal or long-term storage, a car that won’t be driven while you are away from your home base or a motorcycle that’s no fun to ride in the winter. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to...
RV water pressure regulators fall into the “necessary evil” category for me. I need one to protect my RV plumbing systems from high city water pressure, but I have never liked them. Aside from my propensity to leave them behind when I depart a campsite, I have never been happy...
It seems like we RVers are constantly dealing with leaks of some sort as we travel around the country. In the past, I have shared a couple of my favorite leak repair products: WoundSeal and EternaBond. Well, I have just discovered another sealer worthy of gadget status: Home Armor Flexible...
Does anyone have a freezer in their RV that’s too big? I didn’t think so. Mine is about the size of a shoebox, and there are times when a little extra room sure would be nice. Enter the AC/DC portable fridge/freezer. These small units run on either 12VDC or 120VAC and...
