IONVAC stick vacuum. Best stick vacuum I have ever owned. $25 from Walmart. Not rechargeable but super suction and super easy to clean. Built well and very sturdy.

[@cindyshields2800]

My dad was a truckdriver and (and became full timer RVer after retirement). I learned very early on to have several pairs of gloves. One for the sewer, one for fuel, one for picking up hot grill grates and others stashed everywhere. Tool boxes, glove compartments, door pockets, etc. The other big thing is use petroleum jelly. He carried a jar in tool boxes, the camper, inside his truck and his trucker ditty bag. Saw that come out once as a kid and grease the hitch. Hmmm learned W-D 40 was pretty invaluable camping, too. Miss him and all he taught me about camping.

Nice list! I’d definitely add a counter top ice maker… and probably a cooler full of beer or something as RVing can be stressful!

[@hollynauss6359]

I'd add to your list a very stiff broom for sweeping camp mats and a good leaf rake. When the northern campgrounds open for the season, some sites are still covered with the previous Fall's leaves.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Sounds great!

[@dsanders2711]

I got the Craftsman 20V cordless stick vacuum. It's great and it uses the same batteries as all of my power tools.

[@Slackware1995]

Yeah, I use Kobalt with 24v batteries. Drill, impact driver, flashlights, fans, oscillating tool, sawsall, saw, pressure washer, leaf blower, angle grinder, angle ratchet wrench, weed eater and chainsaw. I also have a usb adapter for the batteries which provide 2 standard type A usb connections. There are more tools available, but not a vacuum yet. Having a full range of tools that use the same battery is very nice!

The insulation square in the roof to keep the cold or hot hair from coming in your roof vents. I sewed handles material handles on them, so they were easy to pull down.

[@carolynandcocohaywood2638]

Those jump start machines are life savers.

[@darlenedavis8690]

So many great items. Not just for RV or camping. Many can be used for small areas as well. I have the Shark Vertex Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with DuoClean PowerFins and I love it. The "stick" bends so you can easily vacuum under furniture without having to move the furniture or get down on your hands and knees to get under it. It also folds to make it smaller for storage. I find it works well and I've loved mine.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Awesome, thanks for sharing

[@barbarapadgett5538]

Love your list of needs and the most practical version of each item. I also like a portable clothesline. I love the fold up kind or even just a line from two tie up points! Especially for bathing suits. I understand it looks tacky outside, but I still like to hang up outside!

Concerning the Camco vent insulation pillows. The reflectex on the exterior facing side eventually dissentigates from the sun exposer. I had to throw the covers away and use just the foam rubber to insulate my vents. Two years later I'm still finding little flecks of foil everywhere!

[@jimgatton8791]

You mentioned the microfiber towels but never mentioned the towel rack you hold them in looks pretty interesting as well

[@marthagaluszka8888]

Love Nano tape. I use it in my art studio to hang all sorts of things. And I have one of those small air compressors that I added a pressure control valve to so I can use it with my airbrush, plus I recently used it to air up my giant ball that I need for physical therapy. Great for bicycle tires too.

Bissel makes THE best stick vacs for RVs. Ours also has the rotating brushes for our carpeted areas .

[@rustystrong6816]

Will definitely get som that you have and we do have a rechargeable stick vac and small wall mountable boxes for extras. We added lean to our screen door so the cold air stays in and we can see out when at a campsite.

[@rustystrong6816]

Lexan. Not lean to our screen door.

[@jeanettesjourney9147]

Fabulous list. I was surprised that we have so many of these especially since we are in a class B where space is extremely limited. One thing we've done different than most is the bucket. We're using a rectangular window bucket with a lid for storing items then using for a bucket or even doing off grid laundry if needed at times. It just happens to fit really well for us. We also keep a small gas can, emergency strobes and three mini orange cones from the dollar store which can also aid in reserving our spot if we have to run into town. I've already got a collapsible water hose and hadn't even thought about taking it but I love your idea.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks much

I use a Dyson stick vacuum expensive but worth it but I am looking at some of the new Milwaukee tools vacuums

[@lyfandeth]

Amazon also has compostable flatware. Knives, forks, teaspoons made from wood, bamboo, or bioplastics. Supposedly all compostable, so no plastic pollution. The knives and forks are somewhat gentle, the teaspoons rather flat, but if you'd rather not make plastic piles, try them.

Counter top dishwasher....they work great.

[@VayaconChupacabra]

From amazon, I picked up two Save-A-Drop water flow meters; a white and blue one for my fresh water needs...like when filling my fresh tank and wanting to know exactly how many gallons have gone in, and a black and green one for use with my black hose when I dump my black tank, fill it back up and dump a few times then lastly adding back in about a gallon for the chems to slush around in when finished. They read in tenths of a gallon. They also give you a great understanding of how many gallons per minute your source can provide. most places that we have stayed at works out to 4 gallons a minute (I use a splitter where the fresh hose is metered and the black is full bore, whatever that may be). Knowing this, you can go by your watch even and walk away for a given amount of time.. Kind of handy.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for the tip!

[@lelandplume6889]

Love most of these ideas and have many of them. Although many of them don’t apply because I’m not full time and our rig is much smaller. But one item I highly recommend for anyone with a rubber roof is eternabond tape. An absolute must if you get a puncture or leak. Also recommend moving the pressure regulator to the top of the Y. I have my black water flush hose attached to the other side of the Y and want to regulate that side too.

[@GratefulGlamper]

👍🏻

[@VayaconChupacabra]

of yeah...a valterra flush king too!! when all of my tanks are all emptied and i am done with that business, I hook my black hose up to the port and open the valve for a few minutes, essentially flushing clean water through the slinky. As it is doing this I jostle the slinky around a bit from the camper side down to the sewer end, washing out almost all of the icky fluids that may have stowed away in the ridges of the slinky.

Great list and we do have a lot of them. We bought a cheap multimeter, which broke pretty quickly. We found the replacement model we got, happens to have a thermometer on it. Great to find a dual use for something. We bought one of those jump starter gadgets and discovered it didn’t work when we tried to help another traveller. The company replaced it with a newer and seemingly much better looking model. We still aren’t sure if it works though. Hubby thought it might wake our batteries from sleep mode today, but he ended up using an unregulated solar blanket, which worked right away. I guess we are learning all the time.

I find the basic sewer hose sidewinder as shown there completely useless over grass, but that's only in a few places. It completely falls over even when set up without too much space between the joints. Really frustrating. I end up doing what I do without it which is manually moving the hose to get the liquid to its destination...down. The dog bowl you show is absolutely amazing.

While Battleborn batteries used to be considered top notch, they are now behind and expensive. They sell a 12v 100ah battery "on sale" for $750. They weigh 31 pounds each. Compare, as an example EG4 server rack style batteries. Your choice 12v 400ah, 24v 200ah, 48v 100ah (3 different models). They are about 20x22x6 inches and weigh 100 pounds. They include a full function lcd display, battery comms, a built in breaker and 2 fire supressors. They run about $1400 each. 4 Battleborns (same watt hour) will cost $3000, weigh 124 pounds and not include lcd display, breaker, or fire suppression. You will also need more cables. I'm guessing you could fit 3 EG4 batteries in the same location as your battleborn batteries. That's over 15kwh of storage and cost $4200, while the same amount of storage would cost $9000 with battleborn while taking up more space, weighing 72 pounds more (24%), require more cabling, breakers, and complexity. Imagine utilizing an lcd screen on each battery to see SOC, volts, amps and cell voltages (plus battery comms means your solar system gets that info in real time and BMS limits). Imagine being able to sleep better knowing that your batteries include fire supression. Imagine being able to quickly isolate a battery because of the built-in breaker and power button. Imagine having batteries that support RSD (rapid shutdown). RSD is an emergency switch (usually a big red button) that can remotely shutdown all equipment that supports the protocal. I'm not sure Victron does, but EG4 does. In an emergency, press the RSD buttons and the Hybrid inverters and batteries all shut down. If your generator supports wired remote stop/start the EG4 hybrid inverters will shut down generator. The PV and AC input will be isolated.
