RV camper essential products for beginners and those new to camping including sewer and drinking hoses, safety equipment like leveling blocks and wheel locks

While your RV likely came with one, ensuring it's easily accessible and properly charged is paramount. RVs have unique fire hazards (like propane and electrical issues), so having a functional extinguisher is a critical safety item.

This multi-purpose fire extinguisher is UL-rated for Class A (wood, paper, fabric), Class B (flammable liquids like grease and oil), and Class C (electrical) fires, making it ideal for use in your kitchen, garage, and, yes, even your RV trailer camper. It features a durable, commercial-grade metal valve and trigger, an easy-to-read color-coded pressure gauge, and includes a secure mounting bracket. For long-term protection, the unit can be recharged by a certified professional after use.

Hitting the road in your new home-on-wheels? Don't overlook the most critical safety feature: your tires! The Tymate RV Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a must-have for every beginner. We break down why this easy-to-install gadget is your first line of defense against dangerous blowouts. Get real-time updates on both tire pressure and temperature for up to 12 tires, ensuring maximum safety, fuel efficiency, and peace of mind on every mile of your RV adventure.

Safety comes first when you're hitting the road with your new rig. The Tekonsha Brake-EVN Proportional Brake Controller is an absolute must-have for any RV beginner who will be towing a trailer or fifth-wheel with electric brakes. This isn't a "nice-to-have"—it's an essential safety device.

Unlike basic models, this unit is proportional, meaning it senses the tow vehicle's deceleration and applies the trailer's brakes with matching force. The result? Smooth, predictable, and controlled stops that eliminate the scary, jerky feeling of delayed braking, giving new RVers the confidence they need to handle their home-on-wheels safely.

Tired of your RV rocking every time someone walks down the aisle? For new RVers, a stable campsite is a must. One of the simplest ways to level up your camping experience is with a high-quality wheel stabilizer. We take a close look at the Camco 44652 Wheel Chock and Stabilizer, an absolute essential for any beginner with a tandem-axle trailer. This easy-to-use tool locks between your tires, virtually eliminating front-to-back movement and creating a firm, shake-free home away from home. Stop the sway and start enjoying a truly secure setup!

For any beginner, a dedicated, safe water source is non-negotiable. The Camco Tastepure Freshwater Hose is lead-free and BPA-free and is a must-have for safe potable water. Not only does this drinking water hose keep your tank water clean, it ensures every sip on the road is refreshing and pure. A true RV essential!

This Firebelly Outfitters RV/Marine Inline Carbon Water Filter is a beginner's must-have to ensure clean and safe water on the road. It connects directly to your fresh water hose and filters out chlorine, sediment, unpleasant tastes, and odors from campground or dockside water sources before they enter your RV.



Using this simple filter protects your RV's internal plumbing and water fixtures, while giving you cleaner water for drinking, cooking, and showering. Plus, it includes a flexible hose protector to prevent kinking at the connection point!

TITANflex Industrial Nitrile Disposable Gloves are heavy-duty, industrial-grade nitrile gloves are a must-have for RV maintenance. They offer superior protection when handling your black and gray water tanks, preventing contamination and keeping your hands clean during the least pleasant RV chore—dumping the tanks.

Made from durable nitrile, they are powder-free and thicker than standard gloves, offering excellent puncture and tear resistance for general repairs, leveling, and handling chemicals as well. They're a simple, non-negotiable item for any new RVer's supply kit.

Many RVers upgrade their standard keyed lock to an electronic keypad. This allows you and your family to enter the RV without fumbling for a key, perfect after a day of hiking or swimming.

The Bauer NE Bluetooth Keyless RV Entry Door Lock is a highly recommended essential.

• Keyless Convenience: Say goodbye to fumbling with keys! You can lock and unlock your RV using a customizable 4-digit PIN on the responsive keypad or through the Bauer Connect App on your iOS or Android smartphone.

• Peace of Mind: The lock uses bank-grade encryption for security, and the app allows you to track the lock/unlock history, so you always know when your RV was accessed. It also monitors the battery life, so you won't get locked out.
• Easy Backup: It includes physical keys as a backup in case of dead batteries or forgotten codes.
• Simple Upgrade: This keyless lock is designed to be a direct and easy replacement for most standard RV entry door locks, making installation straightforward with no complex wiring required.
