Just for fun, what is the absolutely BEST accessory or gadget that you have gotten for your RV or camping hobby (other than the RV or TV) that everyone should have and you wouldn't be without?
My vote is for a cast iron dutch oven and tri-pod for delicious, over the fire meals.
Whatchgot?

Well, I'll bite.
My favorite all time accessory is the His & Her matching drink glasses for our Bicardi concoctions.

My Glencairn glass for sipping on some of that amber colored liquid from our friends in Scotland....
Oh, you meant for RVing? Then the BAL locking wheel chocks get my vote.

The 12v cooler to keep the brew cold. My priority rights to the fridge are way down. The cooler holds 32, and is moved outside as soon as we stop. After the set up the cool one(s) is/are ready outside while DW completes the nesting process inside.

for us it might be our fire pit. as a group theres 9 familys from my town that reguraly camp together and people always stop to ask our fire pits. we use the inside of a washing machine. it has plenty of holes(not too big not to small) we just put it up on 4 bricks to keep it off the ground. simple but good. the stainless ones are a real good find.

There are four things we bring camping that I am quite fond of.
Coffee maker that grinds beans before brewing. I don't have time to do this at home while working.
Blender to make Margaritas. The lime helps fight scurvy. The tequila just tastes good!
BAL X Chocks. Very happy with this product, wouldn't leave home without them!
Reclining lounger chairs. Upright for coffe in AM, reclined in evening for margaritas.

I would have to go with DW after all she puts another log on the fire, and brings me a cold one or two

Leg and jack stabilizers (ours just happen to be the Eliminators, but there are others).
Hands down, the best money spent so far.

The EZ Up Awning we purchased has by farbeen the best money spent. This thing keeps the table dry in the rain and shaded from the summer sun. And if the wind gets gusty in the fall we throw on 3of the sides for a nice wind block.

My vote has to be for the stabilizers. Which are the "Plug It Right" brand.
This without a doubt has made our unit the most stable camper we have ever owned.

Great thread my "wish list" is getting longer with each post. Our favorite accessories are the items that make up our "outdoor kitchen". Dutch ovens, (six or seven are packed in the camper at all times) and accessories, dutch oven table, campchef camp stove (w/barbque grill) and an ez-up awning so we can still cook dinner if it happens to be raining on our parade.
Now for a couple of questions:
Pegger - how's the 12v cooler work for you. You say you move it outside after you get to your camp site. I'm assuming you have to keep it plugged into a 12v outlet? Where do you plug it in? I also pack a cooler (fridge just doesn't hold enough beer) and would love to not have to worry about ice.
Seabea - one question. Pie irons
