New Camping Products For Roadtrips and Music Festivals

RoadtripMojo spent a few hours at the West Palm Beach RV Show last weekend scouting new rigs and products for the campsite and music festival fair grounds. We dig walking RV shows. Did one a month ago. There’ll be another in a month or two. Yeah, we’re kinda quirky that way.

But we’re on a hunt for the latest or time-tested innovations that we unearth at these shows. Some products are new. Some are new to us. Some won’t jazz tent campers. Most are bright shiny objects that piqued our interest – and may turn heads among other RVers, campers, and festival goers. Best of all, most are buy today / use today simple (OK, maybe not new rubber for the RV, but read on and you’ll see…).

You can’t share that sweet, smoky aroma cooking bacon on a skillet in an RV’s indoor kitchen. It wafts wildly and most boldly when the pork’s being prepared outside – while allowing those inside to enjoy their slumber after a late night’s rage.

So, when we went looking for our own travel trailer, we sought that outdoor kitchen. Amazing how many sales reps said we couldn’t get an outdoor kitchen in a unit under 27 feet or so. We eventually found Cafe Nirvana in our Coachmen Freedom Express 249RBS.

Raging Hard, Doing Good: Festivals Goers and Campers Give Back

Music festivals, concerts, camping folk and RVers have an undeniably friendly, good-karma vibe. After all, they don’t call the RV group “Good Sam Club” by happenstance. But producers and activists are looking to turn vibes into action. From organizations like HeadCount to community causes like Habitat for Humanity, organizers are determined to make it easy to transform people into supporters.
