Do you suffer from “Forgetful Campground Frustration Syndrome”?
Have you ever arrived at the campground, and you forgot something at home? Or maybe you left your waste water tank hose flying around while driving down the road? We all have to some degree…. which usually ends up in either taking a long trip back home, or spending unnecessary money.
The team at RVingPlanet set out to create a solution to stop “Forgetful Campground Frustration Syndrome”. We decided the best way was to make a checklist to make sure that an RV was “Road Ready” and that nothing would get in the way of peace of mind.
After using it I gave it to a few people and they loved it. I believe that no one should be stressed while camping, you are supposed to be relaxing and having priceless adventure filled memories.

Gear
The Antique Road Show wants your old lights.
Do you still have those outdated string lights your grandma gave you from her garage when you told her you were going camping in an RV? Those breakable, not waterproof, heavy, boring… lights. Let me tell you why I think upgrading your lights is a no brainer.
I recently saw the ‘cool kids’ at the campground using some new rope lights, not just any rope lights either, these were solar powered. They don’t use up any electricity. My favorite part is how they save time for family. You can forget about needing to turn on and off the lights because they can run for about 8 hours a night and turn on and off automatically. Here are some more notable benefits…
- Protected by plastic so they are less likely to break.
- Look good year-round and not so ‘seasonal’
- Practically Weightless
- Bright, Power-saving LED’s(Some have different light modes)
- Auto on/off
- Average lifetime of around 20 years or more
- Waterproof
- Less Maintenance because of High quality LEDs
- Cost around the same price.
It’s time to use lights made for the 21st century.
