While there are quite a few best awards for different kinds of RVs out there, there are many expansions, add-ons and upgrades to RVs that are often overlooked. Today, we’ll be discussing the best ones released in 2018 that are quite nifty to have or unique, at the very least. We found out about these at the 2017 RVIA show in Louiseville, so be sure to check out our entire coverage of all the new upcoming RV brands introduced at the event as well!
