Stow-and-Go Outdoor Gear for Your RV

Storage space and weight allowance can be sparse in RVs, which makes it difficult to take along bulky outdoor gear. However, gear brands are rising to the challenge and creating collapsible and stowable gear, making it possible to bring your favorite toys on the road. You’ll find items like Intex’s Explorer K2 inflatable kayak, Bike Friday’s folding bikes, Primus’ Kamoto portable fire pit, and even a travel-sized guitar on the market. Find these and more recommendations in Togo RV’s roundup of portable outdoor gear for RVers.

Half-Ton Towable Trailers You Can Pull with Your Pickup

Half-ton pickups are a popular choice for daily driving and for towing—as long as you properly calculate your towing capacity. While half-ton pickups typically can haul 1,000 pounds of passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight, there is a wide variation in their towing capacity. Togo RV’s guide to half-ton towable trailers explains the terms and specs you need to know to properly pair a truck and travel trailer. The roundup includes seven rig recs, including a modern truck camper, cozy trailers for two, and family-friendly floor plans that range from 7,400 pounds to 10,500 pounds fully loaded.

The Best National Parks for Your Four-Legged Friends

While RVers enjoy traveling with their pets, it’s not always as easy to hit the trails. Rules regarding pets in national parks vary. So if you’re heading out with your four-legged friend, check out this list of the best dog-friendly national parks from Outside Online. From Acadia’s ocean views to the epic peaks of the Great Sand Dunes, dogs are welcome in many stunning parks at both campsites and on trails—while leashed. Other adventures that your furry friend can come along for? The craggy shores of Olympic or the hidden waterfalls of Cuyahoga Valley; take a kayak tour of Congaree or hike a section of the Appalachian Trail in Shenandoah.
