Other stuff we’re liking
Honcho Poncho Down: Warmth and comfort on chilly nights
Kind of like wearing a sleeping bag, but one you can move around and do things in, the Honcho Poncho Down is practical outdoor campsite loungewear that’s warm, comfy, and cozy. Also a multi-tasker, it can open up more or less flat to be used as a blanket, or, stuffed inside its large front pocket, it makes a terrific little camp pillow. Wrap yourself in the Honcho Poncho Down.
NOAA Weather Radio: Every RVer should keep this emergency safety item handy at all times
One essential that campers need to pack each and every time they venture out is a weather radio. Tornadoes, flash floods, avalanches, and other natural or man-made disasters can occur any time in any place. A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) radio can often mean the difference between life and death. Learn more about why a NOAA radio is essential RV safety equipment.
Manta High Tech Sleep Mask provides better sleep for light-sensitive RVers
Anyone who has ever parked in a rest area or truck stop has invariably experienced bright streetlights flooding their RV with light regardless of the hour of the day. If you are light-sensitive when trying to sleep, you may not get any sleep in these places. However, the Manta Sleep Mask might provide some relief. Comfortable, no-pressure eye cups and straps, 100% blackout conditions to keep out even the brightest of lights, and a variety of optional accessories, the Manta is the sleep mask reinvented.

Per the RVtravel website: “[W]e only recommend products or services we believe provide value to our readers.” The fact that the “Dump Buddy” is recommended in this newsletter makes me think that nobody at RVtravel has actually used this device. I reviewed this device on Amazon where I gave it a 3/5. If I reviewed this device today the score would be lower. In concept this device gets a good score. In implementation this device gets a bottom score. It’s poorly made, the ratchet system failed after only a few uses, the device can’t be used at many dump stations. Any fixed cover, collar, pvc union, or any other component other than 1-2 inches of plain pvc pipe makes this device incompatible.
I recently posted a comment regarding the “Dump Buddy” recommended in this newsletter. Due to size constraints I was unable to provide a substitute in that post. I purchased a heavy duty photographer’s sand bag (from Amazon), which I filled with aquarium gravel (from Walmart). The sand bag lays over my dump hose elbow holding it securely in place.
That’s what I use, too Greg Williams. I happened to have some playground (?) sand, so I used it. I really like the convenient strap handle to remove it from its storage spot, or put it back there.
Dump Buddy is NOT part of this newsletter, that was an ad. I have never used that product.
Yeah I really need those spice holders. Especially for my house and my trailer up north. Wish I saw those before I placed an order from amazon. O well will see what else I need. Great idea.
Thank you, Cheri! It can’t be easy to find all this stuff and then research them to see if, in fact, they are good for, useful to RVers. Thanks again!
