Even though it's still winter and the snow may be flying where you live, it's never too early to start planning an RV trip. With spring less than two months away, the warmer weather will be here before we know it. Now is a great time to take stock on what you need or what you may want to replace. If you have the necessary supplies taken care of, maybe you'll want to update the look & feel of your RV. Don't forget about your outdoor space! Here are some ideas of RV accessories to keep in mind when planning your patio area:

1) Portable campfire: If you haven't already invested in a portable campfire (like the Camco Little Red Portable Campfire) now is the perfect time to do so! It's a great way to add a little extra warmth to those chillier evenings in early spring, and lets you enjoy time outdoors and have great conversation - all around a hassle-free campfire! Using a ring burner, it keeps the heat distributed evenly, and won't create the smoke and ash of a wood burning fire. Because the fire is up off the ground and the base stays cool, it is safer to use outside. The Big Red Campfire features a larger base for those who prefer a bigger fire.

2) Outdoor Furniture: There are plenty of outdoor tables and chairs to choose from to create your space. Larger tables can accommodate a small group at meal time, while the end tables work great as a personal drink or snack stand. They are all made for travel and easy storage, being able to fold down or be disassembled. The variety of materials, including wood and metal, ensures that you can create the look you want for your outdoor space. To make things even easier, Prime Products features a folding table that is adjustable to two different heights, depending on whether you're standing or sitting. It also comes with cup holders so there's less worry about drinks being spilled. The selection of chairs is even more extensive, featuring lounge chairs, rockers and camping chairs. There are many different styles and colors available to fit your tastes.

3) Outdoor Decorations: Little touches such as lighting can help you create the mood you want, especially for evening activities. Our selection of globe and awning lights offer something for everyone and guarantee you'll be able to enjoy your outdoor living space long after dark. To really tie a space together, as well as provide a little protection from whatever may be on the ground, patio mats are essential. There are many different designs, with some that are reversible so you get two looks with one mat. They help define your patio area, and prevent dirt from being tracked inside the RV. Patio mats are made from durable material that is designed for outdoor use, and are easily cleaned.
