Dometic introduces first pedal-operated macerator RV toilet
The MasterFlush 7640 RV toilet is the first pedal-operated macerating toilet in the recreation vehicle industry. Fitting in the same space as older RV toilets, the MF 7640 toilet offers a user-friendly, powerful performance upgrade from typical gravity-flush toilets. It easily replaces many gravity-flush toilets or makes a great “second” toilet without having to locate directly above the waste tank. Learn more.

Secure your keys in HitchSafe receiver safe
Do you ever fear that you may lose your keys during a hike? According to the “best” thieves, there is no perfect place to hide your keys in your campsite or on your RV that they can’t find. But now HitchSafe may have solved that problem. The HitchSafe HS7000 Key Vault slides into your hitch receiver and locks. When open it is large enough for not only keys, but also an emergency credit card, cash or driver’s license. Then hide its existence with an ordinary looking dust cover that conceals and protects it.

Free up stuck hardware, snaps and zippers with E-Z Snap
Outdoor storage wreaks havoc on snaps, zippers and hinges. Iosso Products’ E-Z Snap frees the most stubborn fastener back to like-new condition. It also lubricates and reduces friction on drawer slides and other places a little added slip is needed. It’s made in the USA and is nonhazardous and environmentally responsible. Learn more.

Atwood Carbon Monoxide Alarm is made for RVs!
This is the CO detector aboard the RV Travel motorhome. In our opinion, it’s the best. It was recommended to us by Mac the Fire Guy, THE authority on RV fire safety. This detector has a 10-year lifespan so needs to be replaced only half as often as most detectors. If you do not have a good CO detector in your RV, you’re living dangerously. Learn more or order.

The most portable grill ever!
This 10×9 inch grill is the most compact grill ever! And it weighs just 19.8 ounces, a little over a pound! It’s hard to conceive of another grill that stores so compactly to fit in a tiny space. If you travel in a small RV with limited storage, this may be just the thing for you. Click the video for a demonstration or click here to learn more or order at a good price.

Protect your motorhome’s appearance with a custom bra
If you’re frustrated with the dings and scratches on your motorhome’s front cap and having to scrape the bugs off after each trip, then you need a bra for your motorhome. A custom-fitted RV bra from CarBras will prevent those rock gouges and bug acid from scarring your front end cap. Read more.

Economical 2-bike rack bolts to rear RV bumper
Taking bicycles along with you on your RV trips makes a lot of sense. They not only provide transportation around the campground and on trails but also provide the exercise that we all need to stay healthy and vigorous. The Swagman 2-Bike RV Bumper Rack provides an easy and inexpensive solution for carrying two bikes safely on the back of an RV, where they can be easily loaded and unloaded. Learn more.

Custom windshield drapes spiff up your RV, keep it cooler
Custom RV Windshield Drapes are drapes for your RV front windshield. They are made from Turin polyester in a faux silk design and are intrinsically fire retardant. They are pleated and made in pairs (2 panels), but can be ordered as a single panel, three-panel, or even four-panel. All of the curtains are ready to hang on your existing track when they arrive. The curtains are fully lined, and custom made for your RV. Learn more.
