Data-Driven. Road-Tested.

Unbiased, Expert-Rated RV Reviews & Maintenance Guides

We save RV owners time, money, and frustration by testing and comparing critical accessories and maintenance equipment based on measurable performance—not marketing hype.

  • Data-Driven Ratings: power output, pressure, flow rates, weight capacity, materials, and noise measured consistently.
  • Safety First: electrical, plumbing, and towing recommendations follow best practices.
  • Clear Pros/Cons: objective trade-offs for real-world RV use (full-timers, weekenders, boondockers).
  • No Hype: we verify specs and publish what matters—reliability, performance, value.

Buying Guides & Maintenance How-Tos

Why RV Owners Trust Our Ratings

Quantitative Testing

  • Power: continuous/surge watts, voltage stability, thermal behavior.
  • Water: flow rate (GPM), pressure stability (PSI), micron filtration claims.
  • Safety: response time (ms), Joule ratings, alarm accuracy & false positives.

Real-World Use

  • Full-time and weekend trips: vibration, heat/cold, setup time, storage.
  • Durability checks: impact/compression where applicable, weathering tests.
  • Noise and power draw measurements when relevant.

Objective Scoring

  • Weighted criteria: performance, reliability, safety, value, ease of use.
  • Clear pros/cons & use-case fit (Class A/C, fifth-wheel, travel trailer).
  • No sponsored placements in our rankings.

RV Buying & Maintenance FAQs

What matters most when choosing an RV surge protector?

Look at Joule rating, clamping voltage, response time, and build (weatherproofing & plug design). Units with faster response and higher Joules better handle spikes.

How do I size an inverter and battery bank?

Sum continuous loads (watts) and add headroom (~20–30%). Choose battery capacity (Ah) based on total daily Wh needs and your preferred depth of discharge and chemistry (LiFePO4 vs AGM).

What’s a safe water pressure for RV plumbing?

Use a regulator and keep it around 40–50 PSI to protect lines and fixtures, unless your rig’s manufacturer states otherwise.

How do you test products?

We combine bench measurements (flow, pressure, output, noise) with field use across climates and road conditions, then score with weighted criteria for performance, safety, reliability, and value.

Do you accept free products?

When samples are provided, we disclose it. Samples never guarantee positive coverage or a ranking.
