If you're hitting the road in an RV this summer (hopefully with a pit stop in Ree Drummond's hometown!), you're going to want the best RV accessories to outfit your ride.
More people are trying out RVs than ever before. Shipments spiked 79% from 2020 to 2021, and a recent Go RVing survey found that interest in RVs has increased 26% over the last decade, thanks in part to millennials' increased interest in camping and outdoor activities. These road trip-friendly vehicles are ideal for long rides and typically include a kitchen, a bathroom, and at least one sleeping facility.
Although it's exciting, planning an adventure in your RV can also feel daunting—and if you're a first-timer, you might be wondering what you even need for your ride. There are so many RV accessories on the market, but it's best to start with the essentials. Some of the most popular items favored by the pros—like a sewage hose, portable battery, and an Instant Pot—will get you on the road in no time. And don't forget to pack lots of road trip snacks!
Kitchen space is limited in an RV, making an Instant Pot the perfect investment. You can sauté, steam, slow cook, and more with just one appliance.

RV beds aren't exactly known for being the comfiest. Invest in a foam mattress topper to get some zzz's while you're on the road.
