Great RV Accessories Newsletter #45

Greetings, fellow RVers!

Staying hydrated during all the extreme heat that most of the country has been experiencing lately is extremely important. So this issue, among other great RV accessories we are liking, we focus on hydration. Read on!

Stay hydrated, everyone!

Staying hydrated is always important, especially during times of high heat. The accessories featured below can help you do that!

SodaStream Terra sparkling water maker saves space and money!

By Cheri Sicard
The SodaStream Terra is without a doubt one of my favorite RV kitchen accessories. Why?  Because I am a bona fide fizz fiend! In seconds, it turns plain water into fizzy sparkling water. You can leave it plain or flavor it with essences for a homemade version of the popular LaCroix-type mineral waters, or you can get soda syrups, in regular or sugar-free versions, to make homemade sodas in all your favorite flavors (or create your own new ones). It takes up far less space than soft drinks and saves money too! Check out how the SodaStream can improve your RV life.

Keep Fido hydrated and entertained with Woof Pupsicle frozen treats

By Cheri Sicard
I LOVE this gadget and, more importantly, the dogs I know LOVE this gadget. Especially in hot weather, but really any time. The Woof Pupsicle lets you easily create healthy hydrating frozen dog treats from ingredients you already have (or you can buy them premade). The innovative design keeps dogs occupied for 30 minutes or more as they lick the tasty frozen goodness. Check out the Woof Pupsicle frozen treat maker.

It’s time to change your water filter. Yes, now!

By Nanci Dixon
We have only had our three water filters in the motorhome for three months while traveling but decided after some dubious water it would be a good idea to change them. I am so glad we did! Check out why NOW is a good time to change your water filters.

Chivenido USB rechargeable water bottle pump

By Cheri Sicard
I’ve been using this handy USB rechargeable water pump for more than a year now and it’s still going strong. 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. Even if you have drinkable water in your tanks, this pump on a water bottle can dispense drinks at a party, or make an outdoor hand-washing stand. Discover more about the USB rechargeable water bottle pump.

RV-sized Brita filter pitcher for filtered water all the time

By Cheri Sicard
The 6-cup capacity pitcher measures 10.12 x 10.04 x 4.82 inches and weighs just 1.39 pounds. It’s narrow enough to fit nicely in my RV fridge without taking up the entire fridge. It cuts the taste and odor of chlorine and also reduces copper, cadmium and mercury impurities. Water from the campground tastes as good as bottled.

Other stuff we’re liking

DIY Cleaning Gel

Last issue we highlighted a gadget quick take on cleaning gel that easily picks up dust, crumbs, and other debris from nooks, crannies, cracks, and crevices in your RV and vehicle. Well, we’ve since found a simple and inexpensive DIY version you can make in minutes. Get the directions here.

High quality water meter perfect for flushing tanks

By Nanci Dixon
I’ll admit it, I am rather compulsive about dumping and flushing the black and gray water holding tanks and I have gone through a number of water flow meters. A water flow meter measures how many gallons of water are going from a faucet to a water hose. Inevitably, in time they leak, so I am back on Amazon looking for a different brand. Alas, they have tended to last less than a year… if that. But not anymore! Learn more about Nanci’s favorite water meter here.

Hitch lock can help prevent your trailer from being stolen

Trailer thefts have been on the rise. There’s an inexpensive way to help ensure this doesn’t happen to you. “Hitch locks” that prevent a trailer’s hitch from locking down on a tow vehicle ball can make a would-be thief think twice about running off with your trailer, plus make it much more difficult. Learn more about this invaluable small gadget.
