There are a number of different things to consider when towing a trailer, two examples being weight distribution and sway control. Weight distribution allows the towing vehicle and the trailer to stay level. Without the proper weight distribution, the pressure exerted on the coupling and vehicles can make for some very uneven driving. This can cause control issues during travel, especially when turning or braking, and may cause damage to your vehicle's suspension. Sway control keeps the trailer from fishtailing around while on the road. Strong winds or passing vehicles can make a trailer susceptible to movement, which can be a safety hazard not only to yourself, but to others sharing the road with you. Equal-i-zer has a sway control hitch system that is combined with weight distribution to solve these problems.

Have you ever been to a campground and tried walking around outside your camper, motor home or RV at night, without any outdoor lighting, it's not that easy is it? The number one reason why outdoor lights are so important is obviously because of the dark night. Trying to find your way around in the dark can not only be dangerous but it can also be scary. The idea of the unknown can be nerve wracking, is there an animal out there, am I going to step on something sharp or trip over something and fall. What about when the campfire dies out? If you don't have lights, then you have to make your way back to your RV in the dark.

When towing a trailer long distances saving money is an important factor. Adding the Icon AeroShield Wind Deflector to your truck, will do exactly as it says, by deflecting the wind up and over the camper or trailer, giving you a smoother ride. This will also save you money by giving you better gas mileage, up to 3 MPG more. By not having an AeroShield the wind will get trapped in-between your truck and the trailer, which can in turn create instability and poor handling of you vehicle. Also the wind hitting the front of the trailer will put added drag on your tow vehicle, making the engine work harder and also losing gas mileage.

Having the right type of rooftop vent or powered vent fan for your RV is important for maintaining interior air quality. Besides replacing stale, musty air with fresh air, they help to get rid of odors, such as those created while cooking. In the warmer months, circulating outside air can also keep inside temperatures down, which can sometimes save you from having to run an air conditioner.

If you are looking to change or upgrade the rooftop vents on your motorhome, there are different types of Fan-Tastic rooftop vent options available.

Even if it's cold and you store your vehicle, there might not be much humidity but because it may be sitting for a long time, it is still susceptible to moisture, which is not good for your vehicle.
