RV On The Go Gadgets

There are many gadgets out there to make your RV lifestyle easier and ultimately safer when you travel. You no longer have to search for useful gadgets. Now you need only go to the Website for RV On The Go Gadgets, where you will find lots of Gadgets that will make you smile.

When you pull into a full hook-up site the fun really begins. After leveling and putting out your slides, you must hook up your Power Cord. When you have “Plug Dogs” installed on the connector end of the cord, you can safely and easily remove your Power Cord from the Electrical Disconnect and from your adapters without any twisting, turning or straining when it is time to unplug.

Hooking up the water hose is the same easy confident move when you have a “Quick Connect” gadget on the end of your hose. Simply hold the hose up to the hose fixture and push up the connector and you’re done. No leaks, no twisting, no kinking and no twisting on a pre-connector to accept the quick connect.

Now comes the fun, hooking up the TV Cable. You simply undue the Velcro from your “Coil-It” on the TV Cable, uncoil it, plug it in with your “Quick Connect Straight or 90 degree” connector and you are done.

Your phone cord easily unwinds from your “Retractable Phone or Modem cord” so plugging it in is also a snap. You smile to your self watching others struggle with tangled messes of hoses and cables and cords.

Now it is onto enjoying why you love the RV lifestyle. Open air, freedom, golfing, fishing, swimming, playing with the kids, those sundowner walks around the park, meeting new friends, enjoying long time companions, and those fabulous meals cooked in your Silicone Bake Ware.

When it comes time to leave and head onto different surroundings, you can confidently disconnect and coil the cables and cords easily with the help of the Coil-Its you installed. The phone/modem cord retracts easily into its holder, and the Plug Dogs make it a snap to take the Power Cable out of the electrical disconnect. Since you used your 50 Amp to 30Amp adapter, you can easily and safely disconnect the cable from the adapter without any twisting, turning, cursing or frustration.

Food preparation and cleanup is also a snap with the Silicone Bake Ware you can find on the site. It stows easily, is totally flexible, can go from freezer to oven, is FDA food grade Silicone won’t absorb any flavors, and cleans easily. Best of all IT DOES NOT RATTLE!!!

If you have an older RV and find that the roof leaks, you can find the revolutionary product EternaBond Leak Repair Kits on the site. Simply climb up on the roof, clean off the surface around the tear or hole, cut the EternaBond Tape to a length slightly longer than the tear or hole, peel the release liner off the tape and lay the tape over the tear or hole. Rub the tape onto the surface to activate its incredible adhesive qualities and you’re done. Peel, Stick, and Stuck. What could be easier?

Ah, Life is good! Want to know more? http://www.rvonthegogadgets.com/gadgets_u_must_have/ is the place to get all those wonderful Gadgets.

Into the Woods
Exploring the great outdoors with your kids. By Eric Goodman When our daughter Seneca was in preschool, her favorite weekend activities were camping and hiking. By the time she was in kindergarten, she could hike 4 miles. I can still see her joy as she discovered a bluejay feather or roasted a marshmallow over an open fire. Now Seneca is nine years old. Her love of nature has had a tremendous influence on her life. Besides being the most accomplished frog catcher among her friends, she has learned a sense of unlimited freedom and self-confidence. “Nature has so much to teach kids,” says Cindy Ross, a coauthor of Kids in the Wild: A Family Guide to Outdoor Recreation (Mountaineers), “and children’s minds are so ready and willing to absorb.” Here’s how to have a great experience on your next family trip to the great outdoors. What’s in It for the Kids? Hiking with kids enables them to get up-close-and-personal with fascinating natural wonders: A child can stop to touch a smooth patch of moss or to examine an interesting rock. Parents should encourage such discovery as a way for kids to learn about the environment. Of course, be sure to teach kids to respect and keep their distance from all wild animals. How can you make the most of your child’s hike? For your first trek, plan to walk about a half mile, and be prepared to carry her part of the way, advises Ross. Next time, make the outing longer. Don’t set a prescribed route; instead, leave time for spontaneous adventures. To help motivate your child to complete his journey, plan hikes that have a specific point of interest a waterfall, say at the end of the trail. Don’t forget to bring along healthy treats, such as trail mix, fresh fruit, and carrots. Also keep plenty of water on hand. What about camping with preschoolers? If you’re going to camp out for a weekend or longer, call state and national parks for information about child-oriented facilities and activities. Some parks feature guided nature-trail walks and arts-and-crafts programs. Keep in mind, too, that some national parks are less crowded than others but just as beautiful, such as Great Basin in Nevada (702-234-7331), the North Cascades Complex in Washington State (360-856-5700), and Cumberland Gap in Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee (606-248- 2817). “While a cabin offers creature comforts, like indoor bathrooms, camping has more kid-pleasing advantages, such as campfires, star gazing, and sleeping outdoors,” says Steve Gilbert, recreation programs supervisor of Cumberland Falls State Resort Park near Corbin, Kentucky. Preschoolers can help collect wood for a camp-fire, but should not be allowed to actually help build the fire. If you want to camp out in a tent with your preschooler, don’t be overly ambitious the first time out. A child might get homesick or frightened sleeping outdoors, so conduct a trial run at home. Pitch a tent in the backyard, and see how your child adjusts to the novelty. The Pitfalls Wherever you hike or camp, consult the forest rangers about dangers, places to avoid, and the location of a nearby hospital, advises Cindy Ross. Bring along a complete first-aid kit. Always hike on marked trails, and don’t allow kids to run too far ahead. Be able to identify poison ivy and poison oak. And of course, activities like kayaking, white-water rafting, and rock climbing are not appropriate for preschoolers. So, are you ready to go out and have a wild time? Just plan, prepare, and have fun.Don’t Forget to Bring…”If you’re planning on pitching a tent, bring one that’s designed for the number in your family plus an extra person,” says Cindy Ross, a coauthor of Kids in the Wild: A Family Guide to Outdoor Recreation. “Children and their gear take up lots of space.” Other essential items are sleeping bags, warm clothing, hats, rainwear, sturdy shoes, a flashlight, matches, and some books and games. Remember to bring along a child’s favorite toy or cuddly. Eric Goodman writes frequently for Sesame Street Parents.
