Gripstic® Bag Sealers

In many RVs, drawer space is limited, so if you have a bunch of bag clips filling one of your precious drawers, I have a solution: GRIPSTICs. These are slide-on bag sealers that do a superior job of sealing just about any kind of bag. Easy to use, and they

Gadgets Revisited 2023

Battery Monitor In the May/June 2022 issue of Escapees magazine, I reviewed an inexpensive battery state-of-charge (SoC) meter, the HENGSHAN AiLi Battery Monitor. It has proven to be amazingly dependable and accurate. Available online for under $80, I think it’s the best value out there, and mine has survived in

Omnia Stovetop Oven

It seems like conventional ovens have pretty much disappeared from RVs. Yes, you can have a convection microwave, or a counter-top oven, but they all require electricity to operate and take up a lot of space. Years ago, I removed my old RV oven and converted the space into a

Wolverine TUFF SMART BOTTLES

If you’re RVing away from hookups, water is always in short supply. Wouldn’t it be great to have a bit of extra water onboard? Sure, but what do you do with the empty water container when you don’t need it? I’ve experimented with inexpensive collapsible water jugs in the past,

BETTY CROCKER PIZZA MAKER

My RV, like many today, doesn’t have an oven. I usually don’t miss it, except when I want some pizza. It’s hard to make one, or even bake one of the store-bought pizzas, without something to bake it in. That’s why I was thrilled to discover the Betty Crocker Pizza

Occasionally, it will be a campground with unsavory tasting well-water and, frequently, a city water source that

Monitor Your Fridge Temperature

An easy way to keep tabs on your refrigerator is to use an inexpensive indoor/outdoor thermometer. To make sure your food stays fresh, simply place the outdoor sensor inside the refrigerator compartment and you can monitor the temperature. A safe temperature range is 35F to 45F, and I prefer to

Portable Induction Cooktops

Most RVs don’t have large stove tops, and the burners are usually fairly low output. This can be a challenge when you want to cook a big pot of food such as gumbo, stew or soup. Several of my RVing friends carry induction cook-tops, and they love them. I finally

Wine Glass Holder

I have found an excellent gadget for wine lovers who want to keep their stemmed glassware safe in their RV. It’s called a Wine Yoebi, which is hard to spell and even harder to say, but it’s a neat little holder that will protect your favorite stemmed wineglasses from damage

Extra Freezer Space

Does anyone have a freezer in their RV that’s too big?  I didn’t think so. Mine is about the size of a shoebox, and there are times when a little extra room sure would be nice. Enter the AC/DC portable fridge/freezer. These small units run on either 12VDC or 120VAC and
