The Ultimate RVer’s Holiday Guide to Upgrades & Gear
Published on  Updated on  

The holidays are here, and what better time to treat yourself, your RV—or the RV lovers in your life—to some upgrades that make life on the road even better? Whether you’re planning a winter getaway or gearing up for next year’s adventures, the right gear can take the RV experience from “meh” to magical.

So, grab a cup of cocoa, cozy up by the fire, and let’s explore Camco’s top picks to make your RV life smoother, more fun, and full of holiday cheer.

1.    Sleigh the Roads with the ReCurve R6

Towing your RV shouldn’t feel like a white-knuckle ride through a snowstorm. If you’ve ever felt your trailer sway in the wind or when a semi zooms past, you know how stressful it can be. Enter the ReCurve R6—your ticket to smooth, stress-free towing. 

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Dynamically Responsive Sway Control: The R6 adjusts to road conditions in real time, giving you just the right amount of sway control when you need it. That means maximum stability when a semi-truck zooms by, but enough flexibility for smooth, easy turns. It even automatically disengages sway control in tight turns (over 7°), so you don’t have to deal with that stiff, “locked-joint” feeling. Plus, with driver-selectable on/off sway control, you can turn it off completely in slippery or icy conditions, giving you total confidence that your tow vehicle will pull your rig, not the other way around.
  • Quiet Drives: The innovative ball-and-socket design eliminates the annoying creaks and groans of traditional hitches. Plus, the roll-tapered, forged spring bars help smooth out your ride, so you can enjoy a jolt-free journey.
  • Easy Setup: Forget wrestling with greasy, awkward parts. The R6’s top-loading spring bars make installation quick and hassle-free, with extra ground clearance to avoid bottoming out at campsites.

2.    Light Up the Holidays with Power Grip 

Your RV’s electrical system is like holiday lights—when it works, it’s pure magic; when it doesn’t, it’s a total headache. That’s where Power Grip accessories come in, keeping your RV safely and reliably powered no matter where you park.

Power Up with These Essentials:

  • Circuit Analyzer Dogbones: Think of these as your RV’s personal bodyguards. Circuit Analyzer Dogbones not only protect your RV from power surges but also check the campground's power pedestal for wiring issues before you plug in. With built-in surge protection and diagnostic LEDs, they safeguard your electronics from power spikes and faults, ensuring everything stays safe and secure.
  • Offset Adapters: Hooking up your RV is effortless with Camco’s Power Grip Offset Adapters. They let you easily connect your 30-amp or 50-amp RV to a 15, 30, or 50-amp outlet. And the ergonomic handle ensures a smooth, struggle-free experience.
  • Extension Cords: When the power pedestal is just out of reach, a heavy-duty RV extension cord is the perfect solution. Crafted with 100% copper wires for reliable performance and a flame-retardant PVC coating for extra safety, Power Grip cords are built to last. With features like Power Grip handles and 90° plug heads, they’re designed for easy and secure connections.

3.    The Gift of Better Dumping (Yes, Really)

Let’s be real—dealing with your RV’s waste tanks isn’t exactly the highlight of your trip. But with Camco’s tough and reliable Rhino sanitation line, it doesn’t have to feel like a 'nightmare before Christmas.'

Rhino Gear to the Rescue:

  • Rhino Tote Tanks with Steerable Front Wheels: These are ideal for those times when your sewer hose can’t reach the dump station or for boondocking adventures. Equipped with no-flat wheels, an oversized handle, and a steel tow adapter, they make waste transport straightforward and easy to manage.
  • Rhino Tote Tank Tough-Pack: This 7-piece kit keeps all your Rhino Tote Tank accessories neatly organized in a compact, briefcase-style case. Inside, you’ll find a storage case, 3' Rhino RV hose, 15" rinse hose, 4-in-1 adapter, 90° elbow, two storage caps, and mounting hardware. You can use it as a standalone organizer or mount it directly to your tote tank for extra convenience. Already have the tools you need? No problem—there’s a case-only option available too.
  • RhinoEXTREME & RhinoFLEX RV Sewer Hoses: The RhinoEXTREME hoses are crush-resistant, leak-proof, and built to last—making them the superheroes of waste management. Meanwhile, RhinoFLEX hoses offer flexibility, durability, and compression for compact storage—perfect for RVers who value reliability without the bulk.
  • Rhino Blaster Pro Tank Rinser: Flush away debris and keep your sensors working properly with this handy tool. The built-in gate valve helps dislodge stubborn buildup, while the clear elbow lets you see when the water runs clean.
  • Sewer Hose Supports: Keep your sewer hoses supported for a smooth, steady downhill flow. With options like the Rhino RV Sewer Hose Support Kit or Sidewinder RV Sewer Hose Supports, you’ll get better drainage and help prevent clogs along the way.


4.    Tidy Tanks, Merry Travels

Nothing kills the holiday vibe faster than black tank odors wafting through your RV. Thankfully, Camco’s TST Pro and TST MAX RV Toilet Treatments are here to keep things fresh (and your nose happy).

  • TST Pro: This revolutionary enzyme formula works fast, breaking down waste and toilet paper in just 8 hours to prevent clogs and odors. Available in both liquid and drop-in pods, TST Pro is easy to use and perfect for both seasoned RVers and newcomers alike.
  • TST MAX: With an ultra-concentrated formula and refreshing scents, TST MAX keeps odors in check for up to 7 days. Designed to treat tanks up to 40 gallons, it’s a dependable choice for all your RV adventures.

Both treatments are septic-safe and proudly made in the USA, to give you peace of mind with every application.

5.    Level Up Your Holiday Spirit with FasTen 

Arriving at a campsite only to discover it’s uneven? Talk about a buzzkill. A level, stable RV isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for comfort, safety, and keeping your appliances running smoothly. Luckily, Camco’s FasTen tools make leveling and stabilizing your RV as easy as pie (pumpkin, of course).

Leveling & Stabilization Must-Haves:

  • FasTen Premium RV Leveling Ramp Kit: These ramps help make leveling a no-sweat task, even on uneven surfaces. With a tire curve for stability, AccuPark ridge for accuracy, and a T-handle for quick storage, they’re designed to simplify your setup.
  • FasTen Big Blocks: Got uneven ground? No problem! These durable BIG blocks give your stabilizer jacks the solid support they need, whether you’re parked on gravel, dirt, or grass. Their clever nesting design and useful carry handle make them super easy to transport and store. Bonus: they free up your leveling blocks for other jobs.
  • FasTen 2x2 RV Leveling Blocks: These interlocking blocks create a tailored support system for your RV. Just stack them to the exact height you need under your tires or jacks for steady, reliable support.

6.    Water You Waiting For? Tastepure & Evo Have You Covered

Your camping experience hinges on clean, great-tasting water, and Camco’s freshwater products make sure you’re never without it. Whether you’re quenching your thirst after a long hike, whipping up a delicious campsite dinner, or brewing that morning cup of coffee, having fresh, reliable water makes all the difference. 

Hydration Heroes:

  • Tastepure Inline Water Filters: These filters easily connect to your drinking water hose and use a 6-step filtration process to remove sediment, chlorine, and other impurities. It’s a quick and effective way to enjoy clean, refreshing water wherever your adventures take you. Definitely a must-have!
  • EvoFlex2 Drinking Water Hose: Not all hoses are created equal. Lightweight, kink-resistant, and free of harmful chemicals, EvoFlex2 premium hoses are easy to store and provide a leak-free connection.

Cold Weather Tip: When the temperatures drop, a heated drinking water hose is a winter essential! Standard hoses can freeze, cutting off your water supply and potentially damaging your spigot or RV. Camco’s Heated Drinking Water Hoses, with their built-in heating element, provide water line freeze protection down to -20°F (-28°C), keeping your water flowing all winter long.
