Hitch & Stabilization
-
Ft Knox Locks Hitch Lock
Without a hitch lock, anyone can back up to your RV and drive off. This lock will make stealing your trailer virtually impossible. Comes with a heavy duty Sidewinder lock.
-
Anderson WD / Sway control
Perfect performance and the cleanest (no grease), lightest weight option for your anti sway and weight distribution. Easy on, easy off. It’s the best.
-
Trailer Jack Block
Super heavy duty with increased density and thickness of its structure. Each jack block can support a weight of up to 15,000 pounds. Perfect size to fit even with a SnapPad.
-
Anderson Levelers
Simply drive on until level; Chock; Done; Nothing is easier to use than the innovative Andersen Hitches Camper Leveler Kit. Fits perfect in any Airstream storage bay.
-
Level Mate Pro
No more guessing. Level your Airstream using your phone without even leaving your truck. Super simple to install and use. Super simple install. Even has an Apple Watch app.

Definitely Consider These!
-
Easy Touch WiFi Thermostat
Replace your thermostat with a feature packed Micro-Air Easy Touch. Control your thermostat from anywhere in the world, or just across the room using WiFi / Bluetooth. Super easy DIY replacement for a much more robust experience. With a wifi connection or hotspot, it becomes a pet monitor / temp adjustment!
-
True Unlimited Verizon
The Epic Off Grid router does the heavy lifting of supplying our internet needs on the road. With a true unlimited Verizon plan, I haven’t found anything that compares with this system. Our phones are AT&T, so having Verizon with the Epic gives us two different carriers virtually ensuring a signal no matter where we are.
-
Soft Start for Air Conditioners
No 30/50A power available? A soft start reduces the amperage needed to start your AC’s compressor, so that you can use more power sources to run your AC. We benefit by powering AC with our 320ah Lithionics & 3000W inverter as well as a 20A household plug at our home. Living in Texas, this isn’t even an option not to have.
SnapPads
Made from durable recycled rubber tires, SnapPads "snap-on" to your RV's leveling jacks and stay on for good. Protects your jack feet as well as the ground beneath it, giving you a wider, more stable footing.

Tire Safety
-
Tire Changing Kit
This may be the best investment you make, as the tools that come with your TV won’t help on your Airstream. Comes complete with a torque wrench to ensure your lug nut are at the proper tightness. Recommended to check torque 25, 50 & 100 miles after changing tire.
-
Viair Air Compressor
Would not leave home without it. Fits neatly in one of our exterior storage bays and gives peace of mind knowing air pressures are exact. Super quiet, powerful and easy to use. Never stress about finding air when you need it most. You can’t go wrong with a Viair!
-
Trailer Aid Tire Changing Ramp
Trailer-Aid Plus offers a fast, safe, and easy way to change a trailer tire on a tandem wheeled trailer. Trailer-Aid Plus allows anyone to change a flat tire anywhere, anytime— without help, without a jack, and without unloading. Made of strong polymer that is waterproof and rustproof.
TST 770 TPMS
Truck Systems Technology (TST) provides the best Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for RVs on the market. Everything you need to monitor your tires is included in this kit. The TST 770 color monitor alarms you in the event of low pressure, high pressure, rapid pressure loss, slow leaks, and high temperature giving you time to get off the road before a possible blowout occurs.
Fresh & Black Water Essentials
-
Our Favorite Fresh Water Hose
Finally – a drinking water hose that won't kink, leak, or fail. This hose is so easy to handle, connect and put away. The manufacturers are so sure it won't fail that It’s guaranteed for 5 years. Quality Made in USA
-
Travel Berkey
We don’t buy bottled water, so this is a great solution. The Berkey makes some of the purest water you can drink, saving cost and waste. Don’t trust campground water, so if you don’t have the BluTech, this is a must!
-
Pressure Regulator
Another MUST. Controls pressure coming into your coach from city water. Leisure Travel Vans do not have an internal pressure regulator, so this will save your system from damage. Don’t gamble with water pressure!
-
Rhino Sewer Hose - 20’
Durable with all the fittings you need to dump your black and grey tank. 20 feet to make sure you have enough hose to reach the sewer drain.
-
Sewer Hose Support
Many campgrounds require them. It’s also a lifesaver for Airstreams as the black and grey tank valve is so low to the ground, this can give you the perfect gravity line to drain.
-
Black Tank Treatment
he most effective & cost effective product on the market. Happy Camper’s highly concentrated water-activated mineral blend eliminates odor & breaks down waste.
BluTech Elite Filter
Forget the cheap inline filter that is basically ineffective & leave the Berkey at home if you like! The Blu Tech system removes particles down to about 0.2 Micron. That's about 100x smaller than standard RV inline water filters. Designed specifically for RVs, it’s perfect for small Airstream outside storage bays. The solution Janet & I have been looking for, and now it’s here! Keep in mind you will need two Fresh hoses as this is an inline filter.
Acuva UV-LED
Water Purifier
Don’t want to carry a filter? Install this UV purifier instead. Eliminates up to 99.9999% of bacteria and viruses offering safe drinking water straight out of your tap. We plan to install this in both our LTV & Airstream

50A to 30A "Dog bone" Adapter
It’s smart to carry every variant of power cord adapters as sometimes the 30A may be missing or out of service. This 50A plug in will allow your 30A cord to plug into a 50A receptacle. These are also called “dog bones”
-
30A to 50A "Dog Bone" Adapter
Gives you the ability to plug your 50A rig into a 30A receptacle. This is a must carry, as many RV parks or state parks only have 30A available in some cases. Check out this blog post on the difference between 50A & 30A.
-
15A to 50A Adapter
Gives you the ability to plug your 50A cord into a residential plug. If you have an Easy Start installed, you can run your rooftop air from this power source. This is perfect for moochdocking. For 30A rigs, click here.
Power Watchdog
Surge Protector
A surge protector is an absolute must. Without one, you risk damaging internal wiring, components and appliances. It also analyzes the power from the pedestal so you know before you damage your RV. Don’t leave home without it. I like this one, as it is bluetooth enabled, giving some good power management stats.
3500W Generator
This is the generator we use and recommend. Extremely capable, light weight and a fraction of the price of a Honda. Can power a single RV air conditioner with ease, or put in soft starts and power two rooftop air conditioners with this 47 pound, low noise inverter generator.
Coffee, Cooking & Fave Chairs
