Buying something or fixing a problem with your trailer, motorhome, camper van or fifth wheel?
When it matters, making the wrong decision can cost money, comfort, or safety. We help RVers make better decisions based on real experience.
Why start here?
Because advice about RVs only helps if it comes from someone who’s lived with the results.
How Does This Work?
ABOUT US
With over 25 years of RV living and travel, we've had the chance to test many RV accessories firsthand and research others that fellow RVers trust. The products we highlight are based on personal experience and careful study, not guarantees—just our opinions on what tends to work best for life on the road.
Make sure to scroll to the bottom of a product's lisitng to see our personal review. Not all of these are completed but will be soon.
EXPERIENCED PRODUCTS
“Experienced Products” are items we’ve personally owned and relied on during more than 25 years of full-time RV living in both trailers and motorhomes. These are products we’ve used day in and day out, giving us a real sense of how they perform over time. While we can’t promise they’ll be perfect for everyone, they’ve proven their value in our own experience on the road.
RESEARCHED PRODUCTS
“Researched Products” are items we haven’t personally used but have studied through the experiences of other RVers and the information provided by the companies that make and sell them. These recommendations are based on careful research, not firsthand use, and are meant to give you a starting point when considering products that many in the RV community find useful.

This Week's Favorite Product
If you want the best balance of reliability, ease of use, and real-world performance, we recommend a modern portable braking system over older designs.
-
Earlier RVi systems worked, but some users experienced control-unit issues. We used the earlier version and did experience some controller issues. After researching, we can recommend the new Version 4 of the Curt RViBrake.
-
The newer Curt RViBrake 4 addresses many of those shortcomings.
-
Blue Ox Patriot remains one of the most consistently well-reviewed portable systems on the market. We also have used an older version of this product, but found it incredibly bulky and difficult to set up.
If you value simplicity and proven reliability, Blue Ox Patriot is a safe choice.
If you want newer technology and refinement, Curt RVibrake 4 is worth serious consideration.
