RV Gadgets

Anyone who has an RV is familiar with the many smells that can linger inside. There are pet smells, food smells, holding tank smells, and musty smells, just to name a few. Air fresheners attempt to mask the odors, not clean the air. The way I tackle odors in my trailer is with the Airlock One.

There is a lot to like about this 20'2" trailer. It packs quite a bit into a small package. The dry weight of my unit comes in at 3,406 lbs. and has a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,432 lbs., which
