A number of my RVing friends have asked me for details on what products we use for RVing. This may be an aside to our usual topics, but I wanted to make this available for those friends!
Here’s what we use!
- Andersen Hitches levelers: https://amzn.to/3kjesTo . If you have extended wheel bases like the coachmen spirit, they are perfect. If you don’t, you may have to cut/modify them a bit. No mods required on the coachmen.
- RV Shade for door windows, 2 pack: https://amzn.to/3MAOkzy
- I think its best to always have all the tools you need onboard the camper at all times, so to open, close, and winterize the water heater, here is the socket you need: https://amzn.to/3MANpz6
- Here’s the 12′ Propane hose to connect back to a rear-mount grill: https://amzn.to/36ST9oy
- This is the 5- pack of chargers we bought to assure we could charge devices in the RV: https://amzn.to/3OFrrg7
- This is the ceramic heaters we bought for the camper. If you want to use mini heaters, make sure you get one with 750w setting, as you will trip the breaker with two 1500w heaters. If it has a 750w setting, you can run two and keep the heater running on your existing electrical system: https://amzn.to/3y2fuLL
- This is the “dust buster” vac we use in the camper and absolutely love it. Best deal on a lithium ion that is reliable! https://amzn.to/3Loquqy
- This is the Drill I use to put down the stabilizers. I like this one a lot because it is strong enough to move the stabilizers but weak enough that it won’t “Jack up the trailer” and break the stabilizers like dewalts and similar will. It is also handy to have around the campsite! https://amzn.to/3vQhAv8
- This is the leaf blower we use as well. It uses the same 20v battery pack as the drill, and is super light… but it comes in handy big dime, both to clean off the slides before closing the camper up and to clean up the site! https://amzn.to/3kdIM1M
- I also bought this to pick up dog poop around the site. It works pretty well and its really well made. https://amzn.to/3LlwzUI
- I bought these quick links to hang from my hitch to make it easier to connect safety chains: https://amzn.to/3kfUmcv
- 50 amp to 30 amp adapter for RV parks: https://amzn.to/3OGBxx7
- Collapsible dish dryer that fits in the sinks of the 2963bh: https://amzn.to/3vQfgEH (Also clearance for half price while they still have them at Menards!)
- Sewer House Supports (get 20’-30’, do not get 10 or 15 unless you are at a permanent site!: https://amzn.to/3xTMlSD
- Camco Leveling Blocks: https://amzn.to/3vl187d
- Camco Stabilizing Pads: https://amzn.to/3Lp01Jc
- Picnic Table Cover: https://amzn.to/3khVyMF
- Everyone needs spare fuses! Here’s the one you want, not the minis! https://amzn.to/3Lzyt3S
- Mainstays lightweight stainless steel silverware. Available in Walmart stores only: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-4-Piece
- Aluminum Step Stool for when your site has a HUGE step to the lowest rung of your steps! https://amzn.to/3Mvzw5a
- These are the best dang rocking chair/camping chair (convertible) we’ve ever owned. They are on both amazon and Walmart. NO assemble really necessary (you snap on the bottom, that’s it). Not sure why amazon suggests spending 85 for assembly, but don’t do it. https://amzn.to/37SFwGi
- Andersen Hitch is what we use- disconnect in seconds (literally), no heavy weights to lift which is great for disabled, older, or weaker individuals, and everything stays on the truck or trailer. It also has great stabilization sway control and has ZERO impacts/limitations on turning radius and backing up, where other manufactures require disconnections! https://amzn.to/3kea2NH . I bought the 8” drop because I had a lifted F250 at the time, but it is not needed on my F150.
- I used to swear by x-chocks on other trailers, and I have a pair I used on my Keystone… but on the wide track wheel base of the coachmen, they are a little more finicky because you deal with clearance issues on the ground. I haven’t chosen to buy them yet, but this is the brand I used and liked in the size that fits the coachmen spirit: https://amzn.to/3vlIhJg .

A note about links: No one paid me to select any of these products. I selected all of these for my own use, based on my own research and decisioning. I provide these links as a courtesy, and while I have never received a payment for hosting links on my site, amazon may pay me a small percentage if enough people do buy from them- however, the products were not selected for this purpose.
I posted them from friends on the Coachmen Spirit RV Page asking me for what products I used!
