One of the great things about an RV is that you can travel around the country and always have a comfortable and reliable place to stay. But when you're on an RV trip you will also want to spend some time outside. The most important thing to keep in mind when buying RV accessories is storage space. Here are some examples of RV outdoor accessories that add convenience and enjoyment, and won't take up too much space while you travel:

1) Campfire grills and baskets: There's nothing like cooking over a campfire, and a grill or basket makes the cooking experience easy and safe. Specialized campfire grills and baskets make it easy to set your cooking station at the right height, which can be the most difficult part of campfire cooking. The different types include grills that can be staked into the ground, or grills that are made to stand over the fire. A few, such as the Campfire Grill Rebel, can be used over charcoal as well as an open campfire.

2) Charcoal, gas, or electric grills: Sometimes you aren't able to cook over a campfire, and that's where a regular grill comes in. You can decide whether you prefer charcoal, gas, or electric grilling and different sizes are available to suit your needs. When you're travelling with a grill, don't forget grilling accessories such as storage bags and spatulas to make the process easier. There are many different options to consider, including larger sidekick or tabletop grills, as well as more portable barbeque grills such as those from Son of Hibachi.

3) Garbage bag holder: A garbage bag holder opens easily and closes securely so all your trash is in one place. This also eliminates having trash or food scraps littered around the campsite, which as we all know, can attract wild animals or insects. The garbage bag holder from Thetford is adjustable to fit the size of the bag and works well inside or out.

4) Collapsible water carrier: Having a water carrier in your RV at all times is a great way to make sure you're never out of water. The collapsible water carrier from Coghlan's is convenient to store when you don't need it. It hold up to 2 gallons and has a spout to make the water easier to pour. The spout can stay open or be closed off to avoid spilling.

5) Collapsible insulated food covers: The convenience of collapsible containers meets the practicality of food storage with this unique food cover system. Keep your food safely covered when you need to, and store the containers when you don't. The insulation will help to maintain the temperature of the food, be it hot or cold. They come in 2 different sizes and collapse down to 1" high when they aren't needed.
