Must-Have Accessories for Your Fifth Wheel

While your fifth wheel comes with a variety of amenities already, it’s good to invest in some handy accessories to make traveling better. You may be surprised to know what all you should install on your camper because there are so many different types of accessories that you may not know are essential to have for a good camping experience. Here are some of the most essential accessories for your fifth wheel, which hat we think everyone should have.

General-Purpose Accessories

Your plumbing system necessitates a drinking hose and a sewer hose in order for you to properly utilize your freshwater tank and drain your gray and black water tanks. You’ll also want to invest in holding tank treatment for cleaning out those dirty tanks! Make sure you bring disposable gloves for this messy process.

A fifth wheel may not always be equipped with leveling systems, so you’ll have to have your own leveling blocks to help you make precise adjustments in order to get your trailer level. Chocks can prevent your camper from rolling away if you don’t have an automatic brake.

The water pressure and power levels at campsites are notoriously unreliable and prone to malfunction, brownouts, and blackouts. These outages put your camper’s systems at risk. Installing a water pressure regulator and a surge protector will ensure that your plumbing and electrical systems aren’t overloaded and that you get constant, reliable sources of water and power no matter where you are.

Kitchen Upgrades

While your fifth wheel kitchen contains the basics for cooking meals on the road, there are some accessories that can make things easier. A cast-iron pan is the ideal multi-use kitchen tool since you can use it on the stove or in the oven to prepare all kinds of things, from cornbread to casseroles. These pans are heavy-duty and make food taste better, and they’re likely to last you for a very long time.

Stackable or collapsible dishware can save you valuable cabinet space. Get shatterproof versions instead of ceramics so that you don’t have to deal with broken plates. You can even install special dish storage systems to save more room.

Safety Needs

Your fifth wheel comes with a standard type of lock that’s not overwhelmingly secure because many different keys could open it. Give yourself more peace of mind by installing more secure locks on your rig, with unique keys, passcodes, or combinations.

There are plenty of great accessories you can install to make your camping life so much better. Still in search of the perfect fifth wheel?
