What New RV Gear Are You Considering for This Camping Season?

Like many of you, I browse the internet in the depths of winter, dreaming about the start of the spring camping season.  And, what’s better to salivate over than new RV gear. So, whether looking to update, replace or buy for the first time, it’s simply a fun way to pass the cold, dark hours of winter. What follows are 10 items that caught my eye while surfing. Now, some of these are new, some are simply smart and have been around for a while. I pass them along because I liked them – however, I am not recommending any product shown here – still, have a look and have fun dreaming.
