Travel Trailer Accessories and Upgrades You Need
One of the greatest parts of owning a travel trailer is being able to add accessories and complete upgrades to improve your travel experience! There are many projects you can complete over time to better the safety, comfort, and longevity of your trailer.
1. Upgrade the Suspension
The suspension system has a major role in how easy your towing experience is. Of course, the standard system works well, but making an upgrade can increase the lifespan of your trailer and improve the drive.
A few perks of upgrading the suspension include: smoother towing, reduced wear on the tow vehicle, and increased weight capacity of your travel trailer.
2. Upgrade the Batteries
Changing the standard batteries to lithium ones can make a big difference in efficiency! Lithium batteries last longer, require less maintenance, and can handle larger load capacities. These batteries also weigh less, which is a big deal when you need to tow your travel trailer.
3. Add Fun Lighting
An accessory that can drastically change the atmosphere of your travel trailer is the lighting. You can add lights to your cabinets, storage compartments, and under the bed! This change not only adds functionality and visibility, but it adds a personal touch as well. For example, if you chose to add lighting under your cabinets, you’d make your travel trailer kitchen feel incredibly luxurious!
As you add lighting, you can also switch your bulbs to LED for more efficiency and to save power.
4. An Indoor/Outdoor Weather Station
Weather is a big deal when you travel. Especially in a travel trailer, you want to make sure the temperature stays comfortable for everyone! Having a nice weather station can help you monitor the outdoor temperature and how the interior temperature is keeping up. You can make your thermostat adjustments accordingly and stay prepared. Plus, this accessory allows you to monitor how well your insulation is working and how the interior reacts to the outside weather conditions.
5. Add Decorations
The most fun upgrade to make to your travel trailer is adding decorations! You’ll need to be crafty to make sure nothing will shift during transport, but there are many projects you can do to make your travel trailer really feel like a home away from home.
Adhesive backsplash is a popular option for upgrading your kitchen and bathroom spaces. You could also use your dishware as decoration by choosing matching colors! The options are endless and you can showcase your personality within your camper.
6. Add Safety Features
Your travel trailer is already built with safety in mind, but you can add things like wheel stabilizers or security systems to improve safe travel.
