Here is a list of some of the items we purchased and use on our adventure.
Reese Anti-Sway Bar
This was fairly straightforward but required a bit of planning ahead to make sure we purchased a hitch that had the offset hole for the sway bar ball. Not a big deal but good to know.
Curt Hitch with Sway Bar Offset
To make things a little easier on us, we went with a hitch that already included the offset for the sway bar ball. With this we didn’t need to get a bolt or weld on plate for the sway bar. A trailer service shop could have easily handled this for us but we try to do as much as possible on our own.
Ft. Knox Lock
This hitch lock is simple in concept and pretty tough to beat. There are various options for the actual lock and the box design allows for the saftey chains to be locked away where they can’t be used for a short haul.
Redarc Brake Controller
We looked at options for a bluetooth brake controller but we felt that since the wiring harness was already installed we would prefer to go that route. It was easy to install with a great option for our tow vehicle where we were able to remove one of the two 12v plugs and replace it with the brake controller knob.
Flexible Tripod
We purchased this because the price was right and it had pretty good reviews. We’re liking it so far.
Windshield Phone Holder
This was another item that had good reviews with the right price and appeared sturdy enough to last a while. We’re giving it a thumbs up.
Boya Mic
Starting out making videos under a budget we’re quite happy with the Boya Microphone.
Hiking Poles
Trailbuddy hiking poles are lightweight and collapsible. We’ve traveled with them and checked them through flights. We’re still using these.
Cooling Towels
When hiking it hot weather, cooling towels are a great trick to help you stay out longer.
