One of the many benefits of recreational vehicles is that they already come equipped with many of the things you would want to use as part of your daily routine. Nonetheless, there are many accessories that go hand-in-hand with the RV lifestyle that you probably won’t find in the feature list of any RV model right out of the factory.

Below, you’ll find four essential RV accessories we think the majority of RVers would be better off having than not.


RV Perks: How an RV makes hunting better

Portable fire pit

Fire pits are the centerpiece of all campsites. While some campgrounds offer designated areas with built-in fire pits, it’s not something you should count on. Additionally, lugging around a heavy metal fire pit is just not practical. If you love to cook food outdoors and roast marshmallows under the stars, get yourself a lightweight, portable fire pit.

Comfortable camping chairs

Take your lifestyle into consideration. If you’re always on your feet during your RV trips, then a simple, featureless chair may be enough for those few moments when you want to enjoy sitting outside. But if you love to lounge, get your hands on a reclining chair with cup holders. It’ll make every RV trip that much nicer.

Collapsible kitchen accessories

If you own a small RV or simply have a lot of stuff to haul around, collapsible kitchen accessories can be a godsend. They help you save space, make organizing your cupboards incredibly easy, and aren’t at risk of breaking during travel.

Programmable multi cooker

Some people do all of their meal prep before heading out on a trip and enjoy not having to cook for a while. But part of the appeal of an RV is being able to cook in your own kitchen. To that end, one of the best accessories you can bring along is a programmable multi-cooker. Whether you need to cook a quick meal or want to be able to eat as soon as you get back from a day-long hike, the multi cooker is your best friend.
