Ever wondered about some of the gear, gadgets, and accessories we use in our RV travels? Now you can find and purchase any of them that are sold at Amazon by visiting the Trekers Amazon Storefront. We are curating lists of the best stuff we have and sharing it with you in easy-to-search lists. Note: As Amazon Affiliates, we earn a commission with each purchase you make, however, that commission does NOT change the price you pay.
So visit https://trekers.org/AmazonStore to find the gear we recommend.
Affiliate Links: Some product recommendations on this website may include affiliate or commission links. Using these links does not add anything to your cost. Some programs will even save you money. We do not seek affiliations with or commissions from products we do not endorse or believe in.
Note that as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases at Amazon.com.

E3 isn't just an association you join to say you're a member. It’s much more.
The organization was founded by Keep Your Daydream’s Marc and Trish Leach. The content is far better than any other we've seen on any camping lifestyle site. The membership training is high-level and they have many things for beginners and intermediate campers, plus stuff for seasoned campers. Check out E3 Camping Association here.
If you use our special code: "AA30" you'll receive your first month free!
Shraderland Designs has Michigan maps and many other states -- we love being able to track where we have camped within the Great Lakes State. Check out their website and use our special discount code of TREKERS20 to receive 20% off!
Ari completed a home-study course on RV Maintenance Training and he recommends it for anyone looking to know more about the systems in their RV, how to tackle maintenance issues yourself instead of paying someone else to do it, or if you have an interest in diving deeper into becoming an RV inspector or technician. It's a great way to take a class at your own pace when time permits, right from your own Mac or PC computer. The videos and written documentation provided are a nice package. If you use our link, you have some bonus offers available, as well. If you wouldn't mind doing us a favor, please mention Ari Adler as your referrer when you sign up!

Whether you're working part-time or full-time, traveling part-time or full-time, or just a "retired" person who finds themselves busier than ever, you probably have the need for a task list. We have found Office Otter to be a great option. Trekers has been partnering with the team at Office Otter as they worked through the beta version and improved it every single week. It's ready for primetime now, which means it's ready for you. Check it out at our personal link!
Need business cards? You should try Moo! They have awesome print products and cool design finishes. Plus, you can get 25% off your first order!
We have found the more we use Trello, the more we find new ways to use it. This has become our go-to for all sorts of lists, projects, and overall activity organization. Available for web, iOS, and Android, it syncs flawlessly so it's always at your fingertips. Plus, it's free!
Do you have a YouTube channel? Are you getting the most out of it? Consider adding TubeBuddy -- it's like having a digital assistant who lives and breathes YouTube to make sure you're doing everything you can to make the channel perform better.
Maybe you're looking to travel more and finally found that virtual assistant gig you've been seeking. That's great news -- but now what? How can you stay on top of everything you need to do to make sure your clients get your best effort without becoming buried in paper to-do lists and miscellaneous online tools?
We have found the answer!
