Carol needs her coffee in the morning and I know when it is time to get up – I hear the hum of the Senseo Coffee Machine . Carol actually makes two cups – it has a setting for one or two, but she only needs one packet for both cups. Cups in Senseo Coffee Machine land must be really small I figure.

It isnt too hard to carry in the RV, we just stow it. It does take up a bit of space on the counter, but I like that there isnt any glass to break or anything to fall as with under the counter models. Anyway if you dont drink but 2-4 cups a day the Senseo Coffee Machine is for you!

I like to sleep in on the weekends and I use my RV on the weekends most of the time. This means that I dont like the sun coming in until as late as possible. The upper vent in our class C seems to let the light in the earliest so we purchased a Camco 40171 Slip Stop Vent Insulator not so much for insulation from cold or hot, but from the light. It completely blocks the light up front now and we can get an extra few Zs.

Living in Arizona though the vents are a source of heat inside the rv and the Camco 40171 Slip Stop Vent Insulator is a great insulator. It is really like a big pillow that fits in the vent. We leave ours in 24X7 and it hasnt fallen out yet. Hot or cold it is a good insulator – sunlight too.

Carol and I bought an RV early on that had no awning. Boy were we happy when we finally decided to add on a Carefree Fiesta 16 Vinyl Awning . It was a simple matter of ordering it and then having a local RV shop put it in (I think I could have done it myself). The length of the cover is just how far apart the bottom mounts can be. We went from just behind the passenger door in our class C to all the way back to the rear of the coach! While our Carefree Fiesta 16 Vinyl Awning is actually more of a green color, this picture is pretty close.

It is easy to put down and up with two people – takes a couple back and forths with one person alone, but can still be up or down in 1 minute or less!

There is nothing harder than keeping your RV clean inside. Even though we have vacuums inside our rvs we still seem to manage to bring in the little pebbles that are such a pain. With a good 9 x 12 Reversible Patio Mats this can be kept to a minimum though.

Carol and I like these 9 x 12 Reversible Patio Mats because they arent too large and they are easy to clean off. We dont really reverse it too much, we keep one side down everywhere we go. But when we are ready to pack up we just shake off the rug and fold it back up and we are on our way. We have the green 9 x 12 Reversible Patio Mats and it looks great with out patio cover.

Sometimes you just want to relax under some shade and sip your favorite drink while the kids play. We really like the “OASIS” Aluminum Picnic Table With Four Chairs because it folds up very nicely and compact, it comes with four chairs and an umbrella that fits into the center hole of the table.

What more could you want from a table and chairs for your RV or boat outing? Be sure to check out the “OASIS” Aluminum Picnic Table With Four Chairs for your next trip – we really like it.

Carol hates to wash and then dry the dishes. She would much rather wash them all and place them in a dish rack then dry and put them away. In an RV this can be a problem since must dish racks are meant to be next to or in the sink – rv sinks are too small or don’t accommodate this. Also where you you put the dish rack while traveling? That is why she loves the Plastic Folding Dish Rack .

Since many RVers travel with a trailer, boat or some other sort of toweable you need a backup camera. Unless your RV has one installed these cameras can be expensive to have installed. Jason didn’t like that many of the monitors for RVs are CRT which means they are LARGE.

That is why we installed the Wireless Back-Up Camera System with Color LCD Monitor. Easy to install. It just needs 12V power and for the camera we used the running lights. The monitor also needs power which we tapped into the fuse box. It works great, has little interference and is usually crystal clear. If we could add one thing it would be infrared lighting.

Carol and I love these RV Double Cupboard Bar s for keeping everything in its place while travelling. It never fails that when you stop and open a cupboard something has shifted and falls out. With kids or pets in the RV this be dangerous and sometimes just messy.

These RV Double Cupboard Bar s are easy to install and remove when loading. We just leave them in place most of the time and they look nice, neat and clean. No more food falling on your head or dishes crashing to the floor!

We RV with two kids and sometimes three. Toys are everywhere! These hampers aren’t only good for storing clothing and carrying it to the laundry, but also serve as excellent toy boxes in your RV!

They are easily moved from inside to out and collapse when the trip is over. They can be cleaned and resued for a variety of purposes. We usually have at least two in the RV at anytime.

Be sure to throw everything for the pool into one of these Mesh Pop-Up Hamper s because it is just that easy!

We really like the Audiovox VE927 Ultra Slim 9″ LCD Drop Down TV with Built-in Slot Load DVD Player for those RVs without the huge TVs up front. It mounts under the cabinet, folds out of the way, plays DVDs, Cable, Antenna – everything you need to save space in an RV and still enjoy those DVDs.

Kids love it because you can hook headphones to it and watch the Audiovox VE927 Ultra Slim 9″ LCD Drop Down TV with Built-in Slot Load DVD Player while driving. It really isnt a RV Gadget for Camping as much as it is an RV Gadget for relaxing!
