Ugreen 145W Portable Power Bank

By Cheri Sicard
When the folks at Ugreen first pitched me on their 145W portable power bank, I was not initially interested. My reasoning was that I already had several portable power stations and I did not really need a small power bank. And I reasoned most RVers likely do not either. Through a communications mix-up I won’t bore you with, one was sent to me anyway. It turned out, I was right. I did not actually NEED this product. However, I discovered after using it for a while that there are a whole lot of reasons to WANT one, and I was happy to have it. Discover why, along with more about Ugreen’s 145W portable power station.

Chivenido USB rechargeable water bottle pump

By Cheri Sicard
I’ve been using this handy USB rechargeable water pump for over a year now and it’s still going strong. As I don’t have a water filter on my RV, and the potable water available in campgrounds often isn’t drinkable (I’ve lost count of how many campgrounds with “don’t drink the water” warnings I’ve encountered in the last few years), I carry drinking water bottles. This little pump is quick to set up and add to the bottle, and it provides a steady flow of on-demand water at the touch of a button. Check out the Chivenido USB rechargeable water bottle pump.
