All-in-one kitchen kit is an RV newbie solution

Ask any veteran RVer about his or her maiden voyage and they'll tell you the first problem was to outfit their new rig. It's a costly and time-consuming project. Most of us start out by hauling a bunch of stuff from our home kitchen out into our motorhome or trailer and then schlepping it all back indoors when we return. Now, an outfit called Authentic Dealer Inc. has put together an all-in-one kitchen kit that provides most, if not all, of the items you'll need for your rolling kitchen at a very affordable price.

For the campground bbq chef who thought he had everything...

You, my friend, are about to become the most popular camper in the entire RV park, campground, the stadium parking lot and in your own backyard. If you've about had it with mini grills or if you just want to blow some minds, check out the Carson Rotisserie, the most popular portable grill sweeping the country today.

This baby is a 7-skewer, charcoal fired, Brazilian style rotisserie cooker that, get this... folds up into a metal suitcase and stashes neatly into a cargo hold or trunk!

Just voted the most popular portable grill in America in a reader poll conducted by About.com Barbecue Guide Derek Riches, it ain't cheap (introductory priced at $599) but you campground pit bosses are guaranteed to be salivating just from watching this video.

To see how it sets up, check out the second video.

SEVEN rotating skewers?? No spit!



How does all that stuff come out of a suitcase? Here's how:

Hug a tree, hang your camping gear

Hopefully we are all long past the days when campers thought nothing of pounding a few nails into a tree on which to hang their lanterns and other gear. Trees can still be handy storage places, though, if you have one or two Tree Huggerz.

They wrap around just about any sized tree trunk, providing enough hooks and pouches to hold all your assorted tools, flashlights, bug spray, clothing, and whatever else you need at hand without having to search all over the campsite or keep going in and out of your RV. 

Listed by its manufacturer at $21.95 each Tree Huggerz includes:
• 6 heavy duty hooks
• 2 convenient storage pockets
• 5 built in slots for inserting personal items
• 9 ft strap - fits trees 2 ft to 11 ft around
• Zipper closure for compact and convenient
travel 


Also available in camouflage. There's a smaller version too, but it's hard to imagine why you would want just half the number of hooks and pockets to save a one-time expense of six bucks.

To find a dealer near you go to the company's website: www.tree-huggerz.com
