On of our favourite new RV accessories is a subscription to Terego. An alternative to traditional campgrounds and RV parks, Terego connects RVers with over 385 Canadian producers, farmers, brewers and winemakers willing to let you park, camp and play on their beautiful properties overnight. If you enjoy destination experiences, discovering new routes and meeting locals, this subscription may be for you!
SoftStartRV

As we await another sizzling summer, it has never been more important to have reliable air conditioning. While a majority of RVers have a minimum of two air conditioners, most campgrounds only have a 30-amp connection. This means you can only start one air conditioner because of the initial power spike to get the second unit started. Installing a SoftStartRV allows both air conditioners in an RV to run without a power spike. The power saved by not having an initial spike leaves enough power available to run other appliances or medical items requiring power to run like CPAP or oxygen machines.
Members of the Explorer RV Club save $60 off each SoftStartRV unit. To access this exclusive discount, use the link provided with your membership package. Not a member yet? Join the club and save.
