RV owners, if you had $1,000 to spend on your motorhome, what would you purchase? Here are nine things for recreational vehicles under $1,000.
RV owners are always spending money on their recreational vehicles. Whether something needs repairs or updating, owners put a lot of money into the RV lifestyle. Most would agree that hitting the open road in your home on wheels makes the time and effort worthwhile. Along those lines, what would you do if you had an extra $1,000 to spend on your motorhome or fifth wheel? What would you buy or not buy?
We posted this question to a group of RV owners we know. These people are all veteran camper and motorhome owners. Some of the folks we spoke to have been in the RV life for more than 25 years. These are motorhome, camper, and fifth wheel owners just like you. Some are mothers and fathers who use their RVs for family vacations. Others are empty nesters who live on the road throughout the year. Either way, these experienced recreational vehicle owners were happy to share their advice. Here is what they had to say:
- Get a second, 1,600-2,000 generator to run the air conditioning system.
- Comfortable bedding, such as a memory foam mattress.
- A selection of creature comforts and needful things that included outdoor carpets and chairs, extension cords, tank link extenders, Instant Pot pressure cooker, heated blanket, etc.
- One or two additional solar panels and a relatively inexpensive inverter. This lets RV owners recharge their battery banks when not running AC off the second generator.
- Put into account to save for inevitable repairs and maintenance. These include: tires, heater/furnace, AC, brakes, leaks, water heater, refrigerator, dry lube slides, etc.
- Save your money for a tow. Something as small as an electronic component failure in the engine shuts down your RV. That money could be exactly what you need in an emergency, even if your insurance later reimburses you for towing.
- Snap pads that attach to your camper’s hydraulic levelers to help keep your vehicle level. This eliminates the need to use unreliable wood or plastic blocks.
- Fix leaks in the roof of your RV or motorhome. (A perennial problem for many motorhome owners.)
- A new bathtub, because who doesn’t like the comforts of home while on the road?
