Looking to take your four-legged friend along on your next RV Trip? Being prepared is essential to making travel enjoyable for you both. RVing wouldn’t be near as fun if we couldn’t share the adventure with our furry friends. Consider these 10 items when planning for your next adventure:
1. Pet Bowl
Worried about messes? Avoid spills in your RV by getting a dog bowl that comes with a containment area. This product also comes with 2 stainless steel bowls that are easy to disassemble for cleaning and refilling. Bonus – this style of pet bowl is elevated to alleviate neck strain and promote better digestion.
2. Pet Bed
Comfort when traveling with your best friend should be a top priority. Both comfortable and sturdy, this foldable pet bed will make your dog feel right at home. It’s compact and convenient to store away when not using it.
3. Retractable Cable Tie Out
Let your dog roam free for up to 15 feet with a retractable cable tie-out. It stakes into the ground and rotates 360° to keep your pet secure at the campsite. There is also a reflective strip on the reel that allows you to easily see it at night, so you can avoid tripping over ropes or cables.
4. Pet Fence
If you prefer to keep your dog safe and contained with a fence this one’s for you! It stands 36” tall and you can even buy extensions to expand the fence depending on how big your campsite is. The pet fence folds flat for convenient storage and transport. There’s no better way to let them enjoy the outdoors safely when you are occupied.
5. Retractable Leash
Hiking or simply walking around the campsite and want your dog at your side? This leash gives you control and security over your pet. Walk your dog with confidence and style!
6. Waste Bag
Make cleaning up after your pup a breeze with these waste bags. It has a zip-close dispenser for the bags that can be attached to a belt loop, backpack, or leash for easy, quick access while walking your dog.
7. Pet Tee
Nothing says happy camper like a camping boss tee! Style your pup up with some festive apparel this season. More dog clothes are available online or in stores.
8. Rug
Spice up your décor with a dog-themed rug. This works both indoors and outdoors. Its durability makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and porches. And not to mention – it’s adorable!
9. Collapsible Dog Swimming Pool
The Collapsible Dog Swimming Pool creates a personal fun splash zone for your dog. Made with a durable vinyl shell, this portable dog pool sets up easily on any outdoor flat surface. Simply unfold and fill with water. No inflation needed. When finished just unscrew the drain cap to let the water out and fold it flat for storage.

7 Essentials You Need Before Your First Road Trip
Going on your first RV trip? No matter what kind of RV you have there are a few main necessities you will need to bring. Don’t worry – we offer these basic essentials at our stores and online! Whether you’re planning on being a weekend warrior or a modern nomad, you need to consider these 7 essentials when traveling.
1. Good Sam Membership
The Good Sam Club offers members benefits while on and off the road. Here are just a few rewards for joining the club:
- Save 10% at 2,400 Good Sam Parks and Campgrounds across the U.S.
- Save 10% off discount at Camping World and Gander RV & Outdoors Super-centers
- 5¢ off gas & 8¢ off diesel at participating Pilot Flying J locations
- Free RV & boat dump station service at participating Camping World and Gander RV & Outdoor Super-centers
- Access to Good Sam’s RV Trip Planner
Good Sam also offers roadside assistance, extended service plan, insurance, and much more. It’s the best place to find an RV park, plan a route, and set a course for your next outdoor adventure.
2. RV Water Filter
When traveling you never know what kind of water you will be using, so to maintain quality water we recommend using a filter. It will get rid of all sediment, odor, and should be replaced every 3 to 6 months. Enjoy fresh drinking water wherever you are!
3. Sewer Hose
Unless you have a compostable toilet, you will need a sewer hose. This hose connects your waste tank to the sewer drain. We recommend getting the longer options offered since you never know how far from the drain you’ll have to park.
4. RV Toilet Paper
We know what you’re thinking, can’t I just buy any toilet paper? No! You will need to use toilet paper made for RVs or that is septic-safe. You don’t want it to clog the sewer or septic, so buying fast-dissolving toilet paper is very important.
5. Freshwater Hose
When enjoying the open road, it’s crucial to have an RV water hose solely for drinking water that you can take everywhere you go. The water hose connects your RV to the city water available at campgrounds and RV parks. This one easily attaches to the faucet, prevents tangles, and protects itself from mildew and mold.
6. Water Pressure Regulator
To avoid plumbing issues and damage, we recommend getting a water pressure regulator. You will want to put it onto the freshwater hose before connecting your water system to it. Your RV water pressure should be around 50 psi for older RV’s and 60 psi for newer ones.
7. Leveling System
You never know where you’ll be parking and how level it is. This wireless system makes it so easy to level your RV on the first try every time! It uses Bluetooth which is compatible with Apple and Android smartphones or tablets. Also, it works with travel trailers, 5th wheels, and all drivable RVs.
Now you’re ready to get out and explore the open road with the comfort of knowing you have everything you need. Happy Travels!

Camping World Summer Must-Haves
Summer is finally here, and we are ready for new adventures! Warm weather, bonfires, and camping are a few of our favorite things. Whether you’re planning on boondocking or staying at an RV park this summer, consider these products to enhance your experience:
1. Club Chair
Take your outdoor living space to the next level with club chairs. They fold easily and store well in small spaces. These chairs sit like an indoor chair but are made for the outdoors. Much more comfortable than a standard bag chair! Bring along to the next campfire with family and friends.
2. Hanging Lights
Patio lights add a personal touch to your campsite. These in particular allow you to connect two or more strands for extra length – making your RV feel just like home. Now you will want to spend time outdoors even after the sun goes down.
3. RV Patio Mat
While we are still on the topic of patio décor – style yours up with a reversible RV mat. Its breathable material won’t hurt the grass and keeps your area looking new. UV protection resists sun exposure and maintains the mat’s appearance. It’s easy to clean by simply spraying with water or sweeping for a restored appearance. The mat can be folded into a compact size for easy storage as well.
4. Coleman Grill
Don’t like cooking over an open campfire? Then this outdoor grill is a necessity! It’s small and portable – made for camping life. Also, it is foldable and can be stored in tiny spaces when traveling to the next campsite. Get ready to prepare delicious meals for the whole family.
5. Solar RV Awning
Traveling means you can run into any kind of weather at any time. Instead of planning your trip around the weather, travel worry-free with an awning. It’s a great addition to your RV for shade from the sun and protection from the rain. The Solar RV Awning comes in many different sizes and colors to fit your needs. Enhance your outdoor enjoyment come rain or shine.
6. Portable Fire Pit
Stay warm and comfortable during those summer evenings with a portable fire pit. It adds ambiance to your outdoor living space, too. Lighting the fire is as easy as turning a knob. Who’s ready for s’mores?
Now you’re ready to set off on a new adventure. Tell us below where you are planning on roaming this summer. Happy travels!

RV Owners Are Swappers – Not Swingers
Well some RV owners may in actual fact also be swingers, but that would be a different story altogether.
Welcome to the world of RV swapping or RV exchange. No leather or handcuffs here folks, just your RV (motorhome, campervan, fifth wheel, Betty the Bus, whatever you call that thing), your air tickets and your adventurous spirit required. Much like traditional home exchange, you can now exchange RV’s all over the world.
One emerging website – Holitrade – actually specializes in this type of exchange program, and it’s completely free. RV owners throughout the world can place a free ad on the site, get in touch with each other via email, and work out the finer details of an exchange. The site currently has users wanting to exchange from the United States, the UK including Ireland, Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand and many other parts of the world.
While there are several opportunities to swap RV’s on the site, there are added opportunities. For instance there are also homes, yachts, canal boats and cruisers. So you may want to do a package deal. You could exchange homes and RV’s, as well as the family car. So there really are opportunities to stay in total comfort in a home in a city somewhere, before hitting the road. There are also many vacation homes for exchange near beaches and ski resorts.
Organizing any type of exchange requires a fair deal of communication prior to handing over the keys. Emails back and forward about travel dates, expectations and any special needs, “Can you feed my Rottweiler?” are the norm. Quite often you may have a relative or friend hand over your keys if you have already departed for your holiday. Having a local contact to assist each other with any enquiries is a good idea.
It is also a good idea to put your agreement in writing. Holitrade has a standard agreement both parties can fill out. Just remember to put in any special requirements.
If you would like to scan some of the ads you can just click on the link below. The latest ads are at the bottom of the page.
Compared to hiring a campervan exchanging makes great sense and can save you a fortune. Currently it’s around $200 per day Australian to hire a decent sized motorhome. Most people doing this type of traveling quite often do so for weeks and months on end, so the bills quickly pile up.
To sum up what makes a good exchange. Lots of clear communication prior, put your agreement in writing, and respect each other’s property. Happy and Cheap travels!
Now, better get started on the swingers article… It’s all about the research.
