Whether you're a weekend warrior or a full-time RV lifer, the right accessories can make your rig dramatically more comfortable, safer, and efficient. We've rounded up the 10 must-have RV upgrades our customers love most.
1. Battery Monitor & Smart Charging System
A quality battery monitor (like the BMPRO BatteryPlus35) gives you real-time visibility into your battery bank's state of charge, voltage, and temperature. Pair it with a smart multi-stage charger to maximize battery lifespan — critical if you're running lithium or AGM batteries.
2. Roof Vent Fan (MaxxAir or Fantastic Fan)
The single biggest comfort upgrade for summer camping. A powered roof vent with reversible fan pulls hot air out and draws cool air in, cutting interior temps by 10–20°F. Models with rain sensors automatically close when storms roll in.
3. Dometic Portable Toilet or Cassette Upgrade
If your rig has an older toilet, a Dometic or Thetford upgrade delivers a quieter flush, better seal, and improved odor control. For boondocking, a portable cassette toilet adds flexibility when you're off-grid.
4. Surge Protector & EMS (Electrical Management System)
Campground power quality varies wildly. An EMS monitors incoming voltage and amperage, cutting power before a bad surge can fry your refrigerator, air conditioner, or converter. This one pays for itself the first time it saves your appliances.
5. Leveling Kit & Stabilizer Jacks
Automatic leveling systems (like Lippert's One Control) eliminate the 20-minute bubble-level dance at every site. Even basic scissor-jack stabilizers make a huge difference in reducing flex and sway while parked.
6. Towing Weight Distribution Hitch
If you're towing a trailer, a weight distribution hitch distributes tongue weight evenly across all axles — improving steering, braking, and tire wear. Brands like Reese and Equal-i-zer are trusted by thousands of RVers.
7. Tank Monitoring System
Ditch the guesswork on your fresh, grey, and black tank levels. Aftermarket tank monitoring systems like the Garnet SeeLevel II give accurate digital readouts — especially helpful when the factory sensors are caked with residue.
8. Cellular Signal Booster (weBoost or Cel-Fi)
Stay connected even in remote campgrounds. A cellular signal booster captures weak signals and amplifies them for your phone and hotspot great for remote workers and streamers who can't escape the grid entirely.
9. Awning LED Strip Lights
Transform your outdoor living space with waterproof LED strip lighting under your awning. They're inexpensive, run on 12V, and create an inviting ambiance at any campsite. Many are RGB with smartphone control.
10. Water Pressure Regulator & Filter
Campground water pressure can spike above what RV plumbing is rated for. A simple inline pressure regulator (40–50 PSI) protects your pipes and connections. Add a carbon filter to improve taste and protect your water heater from sediment.
