Some of our Favorite RV Essentials
In this blog post and video, I discuss some of the essential items that we never leave home without. These items will help to make your RVing experience more enjoyable, as they solve some common problems.
The first item on the list is our favorite freshwater hose from the Air Gear Store. These hoses are virtually indestructible and kink-free. I carry a 25 footer as well as a 50 footer as I place the Blu Tech water filter in between the water source and our RV.
The "BEST" Fresh Hose!
Finally – a drinking water hose that won't kink, leak, or fail. This hose is so easy to handle, connect and put away. They are so sure it won't fail that It’s guaranteed for 5 years. Quality Made in USA
BluTech Elite Filter
Forget the cheap water filters. Instead, check outThe Blu Tech system removes particles down to about 0.2 Micron. That's about 100x smaller than standard RV inline water filters. Keep in mind you will need two Fresh hoses
Snap pads are another essential item for RVers. Snap pads are the perfect solution to protect your steel jack feet and the ground underneath it. It can be used on automatic levelers, stabilizers, and tongue jacks. Another benefit is the rubber SnapPads may help insulate your RV from indirect lightning strikes, so you don’t need to worry about damage to your systems or appliances.
Snap Pads
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. My YouTube Review. Link below takes you to the correct size for LTV Unity.

Internet access is important for many RVers. We have been using Epic Off-Grid, a Verizon unlimited data plan that comes with a router for several years. So far, we have never had a problem with this plan and have even seen speeds of up to 500 megabits down. Having unlimited internet is so important for those rainy or hot days when you just want to sit back and binge your shows.
Epic Off Grid 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. Stream your TV, work remotely and have the peace of mind of unlimited connectivity gives you.
Another important item for Airstreamers is a set of replacement locks for their outdoor storage bays. We swapped out our factory locks for the replacement locks from the Air Gear store. What’s the big deal? Well, every Airstream comes with the same key for their outdoor storage bays, and these not only look better (chrome instead of black. Way more “Airstreamy”), but they are keyed differently from the factory locks. This will help to keep your belongings safe, as not every Airstream owner on the planet will have a key to your storage bays.
Airstream Compartment Lock Upgrade
This Compartment Lock Upgrade gives you a lock and key set that's randomly selected from a series of 50 variants–making it highly unlikely that someone in the campground has the same locks you do.

Finally, I always recommend taking a portable battery source. Egretech sent me their 300-watt, 260-watt hour battery station that has a unique, compact design. This is the perfect footprint for small RVs that can give you that bit extra power in the RV or away from it. This can be used to power CPAP machines, charge phones, laptops, and other devices. With 260ah, this station has plenty of juice in such a compact form. I love it.
Egretech 300
Egretech Portable Power Station breaks the bulky shape of traditional outdoor solar generators and offers a more compact and slim design. With 260ah and 300W available power, this compact battery is the perfect choice for RVers
