RV items we don’t technically need (but secretly want)


You’ve picked up all the essentials you need to make your RV the best home away from home possible. But now your money’s burning a hole in your pocket and you’re itching to spend it on some not-so-necessary items.
We all have a secret list we hide from our partner of RV items we’d love to buy but don’t really need. You don’t? Well, you will after you read ahead.
Washing dishes while on your adventure? Who has time for that? Especially when the kids have had plate-loads of all the delicious campfire meals you’ve been cooking up.
Say goodbye to tedious chores and hello to more free time to relax with a mini dishwasher. It’s exactly as described: a freestanding dishwasher that is small enough to fit on a benchtop. It provides a 360-degree wash of dishes, utensils, plates and more, bringing efficiency to your holiday.
Check out the Midea Benchtop Mini Dishwasher that comes in at $599. It’s approximately 1/5 the size of a freestanding dishwasher and cleans in just 29 minutes. The world is your oyster with all this free time you’ve scored from not having to wash up. What a win.
Not always necessary, but certainly appreciated when you’ve got one in tow. An air purifier is designed to purify the air inside your caravan. You can say goodbye to funky smells, indoor gases, second-hand smoke and bacteria.
Sometimes the inside of a caravan can develop an odour when stored for long periods of time without adequate ventilation. An air purifier is your best defence against stink when you’ve got the family back inside for an adventure.
The NCE Air Purifier has caravans, motorhomes, RVs and domestic environments in mind. It’s suitable for areas up to 20m and features an automatic air quality monitor with auto adjust. When the filter needs replacing it will alert you. Keep your air purified inside for $329.95.
Us caravan owners take some serious pride in how our interior looks. So why should the bathroom be any different?
You can enhance your restroom with a toilet roll holder that fully encloses your toilet paper. Not only does this keep the paper dry but it features a flush appearance for a sleek look. Moulded in white ABS plastic to match most modern bathrooms, this toilet roll holder will fit right in.
For $159 you can add this one to your caravan.
We think we need a mini washing machine for the exact same reasons that we need a mini dishwasher. It saves time as well as elbow grease when you’re not forced to wash in a bucket. It also saves money as you’re not stopping at coin laundries along the way on your adventure.
Enjoy the luxury of clean clothes on the road without having to overpack an abundance of clothing for your trip. The SPHERE DC12V 3.5kg Auto Mini Washing Machine allows you to do your laundry without waiting in line for a shared machine. Complete your laundry when suits you best and in your own space, via the power from your onboard battery system.
It has five process settings from a wash-rinse-spin cycle to a mere spin cycle. You can pick it up for $579.95.
Waking up with skin covered in mosquito bites is enough to ruin your trip. We’re itchy right now even just thinking about it!
A rechargeable mosquito trap is one way to prevent a bite attack in your caravan. It works by attracting the mosquitos with the detachable mosquito bait and specially designed UV light and uses a fan to suck the mosquito into the collection trap. The internal rechargeable battery can be charged via a USB power source.
Bait will last approximately 1 month after opening with a shelf life of 12 months. For $59.95 you can have a better night’s sleep that’s mosquito-free.
Luxury looks different to everyone, but we reckon these items are pretty cool. Let us know what luxury items you have in your RV that makes you feel like you’re living in 5-star accommodation.
