I often find myself going thru the campingworld or adventure rv catalog looking for new and exciting rv/camping accessories I can use . The last thing Ive purchased was one of those campfire in a can portable campfires that run on propane..that really came in handy at a chattanooga campground that didnt allow you to have open campfires …I think though my favorite accessory of all though is my barker blue tote on wheels I use for my black water. Since my black water holding tank usually lasts us for only two days it sure comes in handy. So whats your favorite or recently purchased accessory you find most useful?

My most recent addition was a TV – http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sans…..gMethod=rr
http://www.sportsmenclassicclu…..n-the-190/
I'd like to eventually add a DVD player as well, but I haven't decided yet on what one I'll use or how I'll mount it. Anyone done it and care to share?

Hi, Mike and Teaspoon!
Most recent and a favorite…..BAL Tire Leveler, to eliminate the need for the "trial & error" leveling blocks. Our 14RK requires the right side of trailer to be a bit higher than the left for good Air Cond. drainage, lest we get condense water running down inside walls.
Mike, like you, I used a Peerless SA730P-S hinged mount for our 22″ flat screen, mounted to the end of a wall cabinet. Then mounted a Peerless PM47 undercabinet DVD/VCR mount under the same wall cabinet for an up-converting DVD player. (reference 14RK M O D S, in the "Modifications forum".

Did you just buy the tv? I mounted mine to the wall also, but I bought one with a built in dvd player. Works our really nice because it takes up nor mor space and there are no extra wires to deal with. Very easy to use that way.

I just remembered one more little useful item which has saved me countless times starting a campfire and keeping it going until it lights well. Esp. if you get a damp load of wood (I hate that) or you forgot to pack kindling. http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ…..THH3WS014W
This little hand crank blower works great. Advertised as a BBQ starter work for those and campfires both.

Love my solar panel. Have not had to plug my unit in for almost a year now. Checked battery recently, and all cells were still full. Reading 13.6 VDC, and I like going in and watching TV from time to time.

I will absolutely second the BAL Tire Leveler. Not only does it make leveling much easier, it also makes for much less movement of the camper since it literally holds the trailer up by the tire. I love it!! See my pic. I had to raise the A/C side of my 19bh about 6″. Not a problem with this little gem.

Hello all. My best accessory so far is a Portable Propane instastart coffeemaker by Coleman which I purchased on Costco online. It is a 12 cup coffemaker that runs completely on a 1 pound propane cylinder. I mainly bought it as there are times that we camp without power. I have to say that my wife is a coffee addict ( it's rubbing off on myself a bit ) so fresh brewed coffee daily just makes a good start to each day and camping more enjoyable!

That's a neat toy! We have the 2011 19SB, and really enjoy it.

Because we do most of our cooking outside and I use DOs to bake stuff – my charcoal chimney. That's the greatest thing for quickly starting charcoal without the lighter fluid taste.
