RV Battery Basics: Lead-Acid, AGM, and Lithium
When it comes to powering your rig, choosing the right RV battery is crucial—they power your lights, refrigerator, water pump and other electrical components when you’re off the grid. There are three primary types of 12-volt batteries commonly used in RVs: lead-acid, AGM (absorbent glass mat) and lithium. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, making it important to understand which fits for your needs.

Lead-Acid Batteries
The oldest and most common type of RV battery uses lead plates submerged in a sulfuric acid solution to create an electrochemical reaction. These are usually the cheapest option upfront, making them attractive for budget-conscious owners, and they obviously have a long history of reliability and performance. They’re easy to find.
Good to know: Lead-acid batteries are relatively large, heavy and typically last between three and five years, especially when subjected to deep discharges. Regular maintenance, such as checking fluid levels and cleaning terminals, is required to ensure the battery operates efficiently. Deep discharging (draining the battery to a level below 50 percent) can significantly reduce the lifespan of a lead-acid battery.

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) Batteries
This type of sealed lead-acid battery uses fiberglass mats to absorb and hold the electrolyte, preventing it from spilling. These products offer many of the benefits of traditional lead-acid batteries, but with some key improvements. AGM batteries are sealed and do not require the regular maintenance that traditional lead-acid batteries do. They can recharge more quickly compared to flooded lead-acid batteries—a huge benefit when you’re on the go. AGM batteries are more resistant to vibrations, making them ideal for RVs that travel over bumpy roads.
AGM batteries are designed to handle deep discharges better than traditional lead-acid batteries, providing more usable power. Because the electrolyte is absorbed in the glass mat, there’s no risk of spillage or leaks, even if the battery is tipped over. AGM batteries generally come with a higher price tag than traditional lead-acid options. Although they’re lighter than flooded lead-acid batteries, An AGM RV battery can still be heavy and bulky compared to lithium power cells. AGM batteries typically last around five to seven years, which is shorter than lithium options.

Lithium Batteries
The newest and most advanced type of RV battery uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry, more efficient than the lead-based chemistry of other batteries. Lithium batteries can last 10 years or more with proper care, significantly longer than lead-acid and AGM options. Lithium batteries are much lighter than lead-acid and AGM batteries, and store more energy, making them easier to handle and more space efficient. They have a deeper depth of discharge (up to 80-90 percent), so more of total capacity can be used without damaging the battery. They require no maintenance. Lithium batteries charge more efficiently and quickly than traditional batteries.
The biggest drawback of lithium batteries: high upfront cost, sometimes significantly more than lead-acid or AGM batteries. Lithium batteries require a specifically compatible charger, which can add to the initial investment (although many RV power converters or inverters have a lithium charging setting along with lead-acid). Lithium batteries can perform poorly in extreme temperatures, especially very cold conditions. However, some lithium batteries come with built-in temperature management systems to mitigate this issue.
Conclusion
This choice comes down to your priority: cost, longevity, performance or weight. Lead-acid batteries are a budget-friendly option, but provide less power, need more maintenance and have a shorter lifespan. AGM batteries offer a nice balance between performance and durability, with the added benefit of being maintenance-free. Lithium batteries stand out for longevity, efficiency and light weight, but cost more. Lead-acid is all you need if you usually camp connected to campground power. Lithium are best for long-term boondockers who camp off-grid using solar power or generators. AGM is probably best for folks who camp off-grid only occasionally.

EcoFlow Wave 3 Review: Better in Every Way
When EcoFlow first announced its Wave portable air conditioner a few years back, it quickly became the go-to option for staying cool while camping. Less than a year later, the second-generation model hit the market, bringing more power and features—not to mention an onboard heater—along with it. Now, after nearly a two-year wait, the EcoFlow Wave 3 has arrived, and it is an improvement in pretty much every way.
Photo Credit: Kraig Becker
What’s New?
Whenever you’re dealing with a new generation of any product, it’s important to highlight what’s new. After all, if you already own a previous version of the Wave, you’ll want to know if this one is worth the upgrade. The short answer to that question is “yes,” but it does depend on how much you use your existing model. And if you’re considering purchasing a portable air conditioner, but haven’t done so yet, this is the one to go with.
The Wave 3 sees significant performance improvements over the Wave 2, which was already a step up from the original model. According to EcoFlow’s specs, when used as an air conditioner, the third-generation Wave jumps from 5,100 BTUs (1,500W) to 6,100 BTUs (at 1,800W). Its heating capacity also gets a modest bump, going from 6,100 BTUs (1,800W) to 6,800 BTUs (2,000W), while pushing out more air (330 vs. 250 cubic meters/hour). On top of that, the unit can now act as a dehumidifier, further improving comfort levels in an enclosed space.
As noted above, the Wave 3’s higher output does come with more power demands, but not substantially so. In fact, despite its higher BTU ratings, it still manages a runtime of up to 8 hours when connected to EcoFlow’s optional add-on battery pack. That’s pretty impressive considering you’re getting more heating and cooling capabilities. And of course, you can keep the device running longer by using one of EcoFlow’s power stations, too.

Putting It Through Its Paces
Of course, numbers on a spec sheet are one thing, and real-world performance is another. As it turns out, the roller-coaster temperatures of spring make for the perfect opportunity to test the EcoFlow Wave 3, as it gives us the chance to try out both its cooling and heating capabilities. That’s just what we did over the past few weeks, coming away very impressed with what we found.
As with the previous versions of the Wave, the latest model is able to cool down (or heat up) a small space (think 150-175 square feet) in a relatively short time. EcoFlow says it takes about 15 minutes to achieve the desired temperature in such a setting, but we found it generally took less time than that. Sure, if you’re trying to dramatically adjust the conditions in an RV or small room, it will take a little longer, but under typical conditions, we usually achieved our target temperature in about 10 minutes or less.
That improved performance is helped in part by stronger air flow and the unit’s improved power. As with past models, you simply turn the Wave 3 on, set it to heat or cool mode, and adjust the thermostat to your desired temperature. After that, the device just does its thing, quickly—and quietly—creating a more comfortable environment.

More Modes
The third-generation Wave has a slew of new modes that give users more functionality and control. You’ll still have a “Normal,” “Max,” and “Eco” modes, each of which offers different levels of performance with a corresponding impact on battery life. For instance, Max mode will cool or heat a room the fastest, but is louder and requires more power. Meanwhile, Eco mode is a quieter and more efficient, but takes longer to achieve the desired temperature.
You’ll have a lot more leeway on how you choose to use those modes when plugged into a power outlet at home. But when utilizing EcoFlow’s add-on battery pack or a power station, you may want to be more conservative. On Max mode, you’re likely to only get about two or three hours of use, but in Eco mode, you’ll see up to eight hours of runtime.
The Wave 3’s upgraded features also include three new modes—Sleep, Automatic, and Pet Care. In Sleep mode, the unit drops its noise levels down to just 44dB, making it much quieter while in operation. Automatic allows the device to switch between heating and cooling as needed, which proved handy in the ever-changing conditions of spring. In the mornings and evenings, it acted as a heater as the temperature dropped, while during the day it pumped out cool air in response to warmer conditions.
Finally, Pet Care mode lets the device monitor the temperature around it and automatically turn on if that temperature rises above 77ºF. If this happens, it will also send an alert to your smartphone via the EcoFlow app, letting you know the Wave 3 has been activated. This is a nice feature to have, allowing you to safely leave your furry friends behind in the RV, knowing that the air conditioner will activate if things start to get a little too warm.

Other Refinements, Too!
In addition to adding more operational modes, EcoFlow has continued to refine the Wave in other ways, too. For instance, controlling the device with the EcoFlow app is a smoother, faster experience, with intuitive controls and an easy-to-understand interface. The app also lets you monitor the battery and onboard water tank, letting you know when you need to recharge the power cells or drain the accumulated moisture. You can even set an auto-shutdown timer, turning the Wave 3 off after a set amount of time has passed.
As already noted, the Wave 3 now works as a dehumidifier, taking excess moisture out of the air to maintain consistent temperatures and comfort levels. This is a much-welcomed feature and, in our experience, it works quite well. It does require emptying the builtin water tank regularly, but thankfully, the device provides an alert, both on its built-in display and via the app, when it’s time to drain the water.
As usual, the Wave 3 is incredibly well built and offers excellent versatility. During our testing, it was mainly used to warm or cool a small room, but it works equally well for an RV or tent. The unit comes with the necessary accessories to connect it to your rig, including a hose for draining water. It works especially well with Class B camper vans and small towables, in particular, providing a plug-and-play option for adding heating and cooling to those vehicles.

Powering the EcoFlow Wave 3
As noted, there are multiple ways of providing power to the Wave 3, the easiest of which is simply plugging it into the wall. But since this device is designed to be used just about anywhere, you can also plug it into a portable power station. EcoFlow’s own solar generators make a great option for doing this of course, with the powerful Delta Pro 3 model offering up to 40 hours of use while camping off-grid. Smaller units offer anywhere from 2-20 hours depending on the model and settings.
One of the cleanest ways of powering the Wave 3 is by adding EcoFlow’s add-on battery pack made especially for the device. This power solution seamlessly connects to the bottom of the Wave 3, greatly extending its runtime in the process. The only downside is that it adds additional weight, too. The air conditioner itself tips the scales at 33.7 lbs., while the battery pack adds an additional 21.4 lbs, bringing the total to just over 55 lbs. That can make it a little bulky to move around.
The Wave 3’s versatility extends to its ability to recharge its onboard battery and connected add-on battery pack. In addition to recharging from a wall outlet, it can also power up using solar panels, using an EcoFlow alternator charger in your vehicle, and directly from a power station. And even with the add-on battery, it charges surprisingly quickly, topping out in just two hours from a wall outlet and as fast as three hours from solar.

Closing Thoughts
Having tested and reviewed the previous two generations of Wave air conditioners, I can honestly say there weren’t a lot of surprises when testing the Wave 3. This isn’t a revolutionary upgrade to what EcoFlow has done in the past, but is instead an evolutionary shift, adding new features and refinements to an already great product.
That said, a lot of small additions and changes can add up to significant improvements. Such is the case with the Wave 3, which offers a simpler, more enjoyable, and efficient experience than its predecessors. For anyone wanting to add heating and cooling to their RV, this product stands alone in terms of power, functionality, and ease of use.
The EcoFlow Wave 3 is available to preorder on the EcoFlow website now, and will be available for purchase on Amazon and at EcoFlow.com on April 25. Early bird pricing will run from that date through May 25, with the Wave 3 selling for $749, the add-on battery pack priced at $599, and a bundle of both devices for $1,299.
After the early-bird purchasing window, the Wave 3 will be priced at $1,299, while the add-on battery pack will sell for $899. Bundled together, the two products will have an MSRP of $2,198.

LiquidSpring Gives Super C Motorhomes a Safer, Smoother, and Smarter Ride
It doesn’t matter if you drive an off-roader, overlanding adventure truck, an emergency response vehicle, or an RV, a LiquidSpring install can make your ride better. Over the past 20 years, the company has equipped more than 30,000 vehicles with its groundbreaking suspension system, collecting 15 individual patents along the way. And if you happen to own a Super C motorhome, a LiquidSpring upgrade can be especially beneficial, delivering stability and handling for a more comfortable and confident drive.
Photo Credit: LiquidSpring
Spacious and luxurious, Super C coaches are known for their upscale amenities and outstanding features. But, these RVs are also large and often ponderous to drive, which reduces comfort and adds stress while out on the road. However, adding a LiquidSpring smart suspension can completely transform the driving experience, giving your motorhome a smoother, more refined ride.
By monitoring a vehicle’s speed, steering, braking, and ride height more than a thousand times per second, a LiquidSpring suspension optimizes the ride to meet the current conditions. Not only does this improve comfort and control, but it also smooths out all the bumps in the road, reducing fatigue and keeping stress to a minimum. It also provides a boost to driver confidence, something that new and veteran RVers can both appreciate.
Photo Credit: LiquidSpring
A LiquidSpring Super C installation includes numerous enhancements, starting with improved ground clearance courtesy of a 2” front suspension lift and a 4” rear suspension lift. A manual control system is installed in the vehicle, giving drivers the ability to adjust settings on the fly and select from multiple ride modes based on the current terrain. The real-time monitoring and adjustment package mentioned above comes standard, as does the one-touch Tru-Earth leveling and stabilization feature.
The benefits of upgrading to a LiquidSpring suspension go well beyond better handling and a more comfortable ride. Super C owners will also notice improved braking stability and reduced road noise, too. They’ll also get better performance in windy conditions, and the smoother ride means less wear and tear on the vehicle. It will even provide better resale value the next time you’re ready to sell your rig and buy a new one.

The Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini is a Rooftop Tent for Your Electric Truck
Here at RV.com, we love it when two of our favorite brands come together to create new camping gear. So naturally, we were delighted when we heard electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian was joining forces with rooftop tent maker iKamper to create a new model. The result of that collaboration is called the Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini, which is an iteration of one of the best rooftop tents on the market specifically made for the R1T electric pickup truck and the R1S SUV.

The iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini
The Rivian x iKamper collab starts with the Skycamp 3.0 Mini rooftop tent. Not only is this model compact and lightweight, when not in use, it offers a low, aerodynamic profile, too. This combination of characteristics makes it ideal for an electric vehicle, as the weight and size have less of an impact on range.
But the Skycamp 3.0 Mini also happens to be an outstanding rooftop tent, too. The camp shelter offers room for two people, is durable enough to stand up to the elements, and can be deployed in under a minute. It is also designed for four-season use, with a cozy, quilted interior, and a nine-zone mattress designed for camping in a wide variety of weather conditions. The smaller Mini is also great on short-bed pick-up trucks, like the R1T, offering a safe and roomy place to camp without impeding bed storage space.

Rivian-Specific Features
Of course, the Skycamp 3.0 Mini fits on a wide variety of vehicles, both electric and gas-powered. But as part of the Rivian x iKamper partnership, the two brands added a few additional features to help this specific model stand out. For instance, the special edition version of the rooftop tent comes in exclusive colors and includes Rivian branding. It also comes with mounting brackets that integrate with Rivian’s Adventure Key Set for added security.
The tent is made from a breathable blackout polycotton canvas material and includes a removable rainfly, giving it added versatility in a variety of climates. It also comes with a version-specific foam mattress that is reportedly cushier and more comfortable than the one included with the standard Skycamp 3.0 Mini. The Rivian version of the tent also has a lighter, more aerodynamic shell to further reduce drag and keep range as high as possible.

Available Now
The Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini is available now with an MSRP of $4,595. All purchases made before April 15, 2025, will also receive a Disco Series Stove System absolutely free. Considering the stove normally costs $515, that’s a pretty great add-on for perspective campers. Find out more about this rooftop tent at iKamper.com.

8 Must-Have RV Accessories Every RVer Should Own
If you already own a travel trailer, fifth-wheel, or motorhome, you probably already know that buying a vehicle is just the first step in the process of getting ready for RV camping. You’ll also need to figure out how all of your rig’s onboard heating and cooling systems work, how to deploy awnings, empty holding tanks, and maximize your storage space. But what you might not know is that there are a number of important products and gear items that can make life on the road and at the campsite so much better. And unless someone tells you, you may not even realize just how useful these items can be. But fear not, we’re here to help. These are the must-have RV accessories every owner should carry with them on their travels.

Hughes Autoformer Power Watchdog Surge Protector
Plugging into shore power at a campground is super convenient and keeps your lights, HVAC, appliances, and other gadgets running at all times. But those power poles are not always as reliable and safe as they could be, sometimes sending electrical surges into your RV that can damage your onboard electronics and other components. A Power Watchdog surge protector from Hughes Autoformer helps prevent that from happening, keeping your vehicle safe and secure. The unit can even be monitored remotely using Bluetooth connectivity and an app on your smartphone. Available in both 30-amp ($159) and 50-amp ($229) versions.

Camco Power Grip RV Extension Cord
In addition to having a reliable surge protector, you’ll also want a good extension cord to plug into shore power. Camco sells the Power Grip heavy-duty line that is 30′ in length and comes with a built-in handle to make it easy to plug in and pull out. Both ends of the cord feature very durable plugs built for use in the outdoors, as well as all-copper wiring for the highest level of conductivity possible. Available in 30-amp ($92) and 50-amp ($284) models.

Camco Outdoors FasTen Leveling Blocks
Leveling blocks are definitely one of those things you don’t think about before you buy an RV. But once you’ve been camping a few times, you quickly realize that they’re a necessity, allowing you to dial in the exact height you need for a stable and level base. Camco offers its FasTen Leveling Blocks in packs of ten, which each block adding an inch to the stack height. Adding these under stabilizing jacks or tires greatly improves safety and comfort. MSRP: $67.99

TireMinder RV Air Compressor
You don’t have to get a flat tire to need an RV air compressor. Changes in temperature and altitude can impact inflation levels, sometimes requiring a little extra air to be added. That’s where the TireMinder RV Air Compressor comes in handy. This unit can take a tire from flat to 100 PSI in less than 12 minutes, and its built-in digital display is accurate to +/-1 PSI. It comes with a 60′ air hose and an 8′ power cable, ensuring you can reach all the tires on your motorhome, tow vehicle, or trailer. MSRP is $370.

Valterra Viper Sewer Hose Kit
No list of must-have RV accessories is complete without including a hose for your RV’s black tank, and the Viper Sewer Hose Kit from Valterra fulfills that need nicely. This hose is 15′ in length, abrasion and puncture resistant, and won’t be harmed by UV light or chemicals. It even stays flexible in temperatures down to -30ºF and comes with a 90º universal connection that fits six different types of sewers, ensuring an airtight connection every time. It’s a dirty job, but it can get a lot dirtier without this handy product. Prices start at $69.99.

RV360 Water Pressure Regulator
The water pressure regulators that come in most RVs don’t usually provide the level of pressure that you might need. Replacing the regulator in your vehicle will almost certainly rectify this issue. RV360 makes a line of regulators that are quick and easy to install and allow you to set the pressure anywhere from 0 to 85 PSI (Note: It isn’t recommended that you go above 60 PSI). This will ensure better performance when showering and doing dishes, while also preventing damage to water lines and appliances. Prices vary, but typically fall in the $25-$50 range.

The Best Rooftop Tents of 2025
Fun, cozy, and comfortable rooftop tents occupy a space that falls somewhere between a traditional tent and an RV. These camp shelters are designed to mount to the top of a vehicle, offering an elevated sleeping experience along with enhanced mobility. They’re also a convenient way to set up camp just about anywhere you can park a truck or SUV, which is why they’ve exploded in popularity with car campers, overlanders, boondockers, and active outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Because growing appeal with a wider audience, an increasing number of manufacturers have introduced rooftop tents to the marketplace over the past few years. Those models vary in size and weight but offer similar performance and features. But not all rooftop tents are created equal, as there are definitely some that stand out from the crowd. We’ve sorted through the dozens of options currently available and compiled a list of our favorites. These are the roof-mounted shelters to have on your shortlist when it comes time to purchase one for yourself.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Rooftop Tent
At first glance, most rooftop tents look a lot alike, which may lead you to believe that they don’t vary much in terms of options or design. But that isn’t the case at all, as every manufacturer has put its own spin on these products. With that in mind, here are a few things to consider before buying a model of your own.
Size
Unlike ground tents—which vary in size from single-person options to models with enough space for an extended family—rooftop tents generally only have room for two to three people. That’s because they are built to mount to the top of a vehicle, where there is only so much real estate to go around. Be sure to check out how much square footage the tent you’re considering offers. It is nice to have enough room for at least two people, with some space left over for small gear items.
Weight
The weight of a rooftop tent directly impacts how easy it is to install or remove from a vehicle. Heavier models are more challenging to fit into place, which can make them difficult to take on and off. If you plan to leave the tent in place permanently, the weight won’t matter as much. But a lighter option may make more sense if you want to remove it from your car or truck when not in use. Keep in mind, having a rooftop tent installed will impact your vehicle’s gas mileage, so being able to remove it easily may be a nice option.
Hard Shell or Soft Shell?
Rooftop tents generally come in two varieties—hard shell or soft shell. Both options have positives and negatives, although most people tend to prefer a hard shell model. This type of tent has a rigid top and bottom, which makes it more aerodynamic when collapsed down for travel. Hard shell models also provide better shelter from the elements and usually takes less time to set up or take down. But they also tend to be heavier and cost more, too.
Conversely, soft shell tents are usually lighter and pack down to a smaller size while in transit, yet expand to provide more space at the campsite. They’re usually less expensive, but may not offer as much protection from the weather. Depending on the quality of the materials, they may not be as durable either.
Aerodynamics
As mentioned above, hard shell tents tend to be more aerodynamic than soft shell models. This might not seem all that important, but it can have an impact on gas mileage, especially when driving longer distances. Both types of tents will create more drag and add weight to your vehicle, but the smooth, rigid surface of a hardshell cuts through the air a bit more efficiently.
Vehicle Size
While rooftop tents come in a variety of sizes, the type of vehicle you drive will ultimately have an impact on which model you can go with. If you drive a compact car, you’ll have fewer choices, while a large truck or SUV will afford you a plethora of options. You’ll also need roof rails—or, in the case of a pickup, a frame of some sort—to mount the tent on. Keep that in mind as you shop.
That said, most manufacturers offer their most popular rooftop tents in a variety of sizes, allowing them to fit on a wider variety of vehicles. That means whether you’re driving a Subaru Crosstrek or a Ford Expedition, chances are you’ll have several options to choose from. You can also do a quick online search to see if a specific tent will fit your car, truck, or SUV, as compatibility charts and installation guides are easy to find on the internet.
The Best Rooftop Tents
Now that we know what to look for when shopping for a rooftop tent, these models make our list of the best options currently available.

Thule Approach
Available in three sizes, the Thule Approach is a modern and sophisticated rooftop tent designed to fit nearly any vehicle. The small version sleeps two people, the medium can squeeze in three, and the large has room for four, which is a bit of a rarity for these types of shelters. This soft shell model sets up very quickly and is fully ready to camp in less than three minutes, which comes in handy when rolling into a campsite late in the day. We love the large, panoramic windows that are perfect for stargazing and the optional awning and annex create a nice outdoor environment for relaxing outdoors. MSRP: $1999 (small), $2,499,(medium), $2,999 (large)

Built-in accessory channels make it easy to haul your favorite gear, while the interior comes equipped with a 2″ memory foam mattress, skylight, three-way windows, and six built-in gear pockets.

A favorite amongst overlanders, the Alu-Cab Gen 3-R is easily one of the best rooftop tents on the market for those looking to spend extended amounts of time in the backcountry. Incredibly designed and well built, this model includes numerous nice touches that aren’t all that common on other rooftop shelters, like solar panel compatibility, heater ports, and an insulated hard shell roof and base. Excellent ventilation is also one of the hallmarks of the Gen 3-R, which comes equipped with internal lighting, USB charging ports, three-point access, an awning, and much more. If you’re planning a long-distance overland adventure, this is the model for you. MSRP: $4,399

Thule Foothill
Thule earns another spot on our list thanks to its lightweight, compact, and affordable Foothill model. Smaller than most other rooftop tents on the market, this shelter is about the size of a traditional two-person ground tent. That makes things a bit cozy inside, but it leaves more space on the roof of your vehicle for hauling bikes, kayaks, and other outdoor gear. A large entry makes getting in and out a breeze, and two overhead windows provide plenty of light to reach the interior. Simple, functional, and well-built, this is a great option for budget shoppers. MSRP: $1699

Its hard shell casing and stainless steel frame make it extremely durable and add additional protection from wind and rain.

LiquidSpring’s Pursuit of Excellence Takes it Coast-to-Coast
For more than two decades, LiquidSpring has been building and refining the best and most advanced suspension systems on the planet. Over that time, the company has upfitted more than 20,000 RVs, expedition trucks, and emergency response vehicles with a smart suspension that monitors speed, steering, braking, and ride height to continually adjust performance more than a thousand times each second. The result is a smoother, safer, more efficient ride both on and off-road.
Recently, in an effort to introduce its technology to a wider audience, the LiquidSpring team embarked on a cross-country journey of epic proportions. Along the way, they visited three of the most important vehicle-centric annual events while enjoying a motorized adventure unlike any other.

On a Cross-Country Mission
LiquidSpring kicked off its long-distance road trip in Tampa, where the team attended the always-bustling Florida RV SuperShow. That event always sets the tone for the year, with all of the top motorhome and towable manufacturers on hand to show off their latest models. That makes it the perfect place to meet RV owners looking to upgrade their rigs or tow vehicles.
After a busy few days in Tampa, the team next headed towards the setting sun, navigating backroads and highways from Florida to Texas before venturing into the desert Southwest. Their second destination was the Quartzsite Sports, Vacation, and RV Show in Arizona for a week of connecting with RVers, overlanders, and off-roaders. The landscapes in and around Quartzsite are perfect for demonstrating the capabilities of the LiquidSpring suspension system, which smoothly transition from tarmac to dirt without missing a beat.
Finally, the journey wrapped up with a visit to King of the Hammers in Johnson Valley, California. This legendary gathering of off-road adventurers will test the mettle of any vehicle and is the perfect proving ground for LiquidSpring. As usual, the state-of-the-art suspension demonstrated its worth and showcased its effectiveness at creating a smoother and more comfortable ride while traversing across the desert.

Road Tripping in a Super C and a Ram Pick-Up
All told, the LiquidSpring team’s country-spanning sojourn covered more than 2,500 miles from Florida to California, traveling on everything from smooth modern highways to rough desert trails. So what vehicles did they choose for this adventure? The squad made their way across country in a powerful and impressive Super-C RV and a top-of-the-line Ram pick-up truck.
The Super-C in question was none other than a Renegade Veracruz, which offers outstanding off-grid capabilities and a plush interior. The RV rides on massive 41″ Goodyear G275 tires and features Elevation Off Grid’s comprehensive upgrade package. Those components are augmented by a LiquidSpring system that provides a 4-inch rear lift and 2-inch front lift which maintains a smooth and elegant ride while taking on difficult terrain.

The Veracruz was flanked by a Black Edition Ram 3500, which already displays robust engineering straight from the factory. LiquidSpring added a 2-inch lift kit with up to 4 inches of automatic ride-height adjustment based on surface conditions. The rig is further equipped with Elevation Off Grid premium features that include BFG KO2 tires, Baja Designs lighting, and a 23Zero rooftop tent, making it an excellent basecamp for nearly any adventure.

The Ultimate Road Test
For LiquidSpring, this coast-to-coast road trip wasn’t just about reaching each of the destinations along the way. It was also a chance to demonstrate how its amazing suspension system merges comfort and capability, proving once and for all that you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade your work vehicle, RV, or adventure truck, the LiquidSpring intelligent suspension delivers a smoother, safer ride. It also lessens wear and tear on the vehicle, extending its lifespan and further protecting your investment.

Here are just a few happy customers:
J. Rossman –May 2024
I installed this unit on my 21 Entegra motorhome. I was a little skeptical at the time but thought “I’ll Give it a try”. My mileage went from a little under 7 mpg on the highway to a shade over 8 mpg driving at 70 MPH. I recommend this to anyone. You will also feel better acceleration from a stop and it helps to maintain the speed on hills. I’m impressed.
________________________________________________________________________________________
P. Doherty –July 2021
Best money I have ever spent. The module was easy to install and had excellent directions. My motorhome tows great now, especially on hills and EGT is lower. The delivery time was also excellent and I actually got to talk to a real person Thanks.
________________________________________________________________________________________
G. Jackson–March 2021
I installed the module on my motorhome with a Cummins 8.9L engine and saw good results. I can tell I have more power and torque. I have had my unit for almost 1 year and I am very happy with it. I have also just recently installed the same unit on my uncle’s motorhome which has Cat C7 in it. So far it is performing just as well as my unit is performing.

W. Shannon –October 2023
The module is as described. It was an easy installation and is working awesome. New life in the engine, especially when towing. Installed on a Damon Ultrasport 2000. awesome support from the company. Thanks!

Tech Spotlight: Hitches
You’d be forgiven if “hitch” wasn’t the first thing you thought about when choosing a towable. But, as you barrel down the road with your home-on-wheels, your hitch can, literally, make or break you. Most towables come with factory-installed hitches, but many RVers install aftermarket upgrades. To learn more, we reached out to J.D. from Big Truck Big RV, who runs a YouTube channel devoted to all things recreational and vehicular.

Fifth-Wheels
“Ultimately, the hitch decision comes down to what you’re trying to accomplish,” says J.D. (The creator doesn’t use his last name for publication.) “Traditionally, fifth-wheel kingpin hitches are the most common. When you want something more convenient or flexible, the gooseball comes into play.”
“Kingpin” hitches (sometimes called companion hitches) are similar to those on 18-wheelers. A heavy frame—the coupling device—bolts into the truck bed, while the trailer features a large steel pin that slides and locks into place. They leave little room for truck-bed storage. One of the best traditional kingpins is B&W’s Companion 5th Wheel Hitch RVK3500. The CURT Helux Pinbox, using a trademarked coil spring design, significantly reduces the force applied to a vehicle’s frame.
Gooseneck hitches use a ball receiver installed directly into the truck bed, and bolt to the frame below. The trailer then uses an adapter to attach to that ball—creating a lower connection point for heavier towing. Gooseneck hitches can add strain to your trailer’s frame, so research first. The Reese Goose Box is one of the only versions approved by Lippert, the largest manufacturer of fifth-wheel chassis in the country.

Travel Trailers
Travel trailers attach to tow vehicles via more traditional bumper hitches. Because they can be heavy, specialized connection points are necessary to help drivers prevent sway. Among the most popular options is the SwayPro from Blue Ox, which comes in various models and evenly distributes weight over the axles of the tow vehicle and trailer. Weigh Safe also offers models with built-in scales to measure the tongue weight on the hitch.
