Living in an RV with two kids, four pets, and one bulldog-sized attitude problem (looking at you, Fiona) means every gadget matters. Whether you’re cooking dinner, dodging dog drool, or refereeing a Sphynx cat standoff, the right tools can turn chaos into something almost manageable.
1. Ceiling Dome Lights: Disco on Demand
Fiona has discovered dimmable lighting, and our RV hasn’t been the same since.
The 800LM RV Ceiling Dome Lights (4 Pack) let you adjust brightness with a built-in dimmer switch. One minute you’re calmly chopping onions, the next it’s a full-blown light show because Fiona pawed the switch again. She’s basically our unlicensed lighting technician now.
Brightness: 800 lumens Power: 6W, DC12-18V Color: Cool White Uses: Kitchen, lounge, or anywhere Fiona feels like raving
2. CT CAPETRONIX Lights: A Color for Every Mood (and Cat)
These CAPETRONIX interior lights (8 Pack) come with three color temps: warm white, cool white, and natural white. Echo and Luna, our Sphynx cats, definitely have lighting preferences. Echo insists on warm lighting for “naps” (sneaky ambushes), while Luna prefers cool white to monitor the kids’ cereal levels.
Lumens: 1700 total Built-in switch and dimming Ideal for any room… even ones currently overrun by cats
3. Maxx I+ Vent Cover: The Escape Hatch That Isn’t
We added this Maxx I+ Vent Cover to keep air flowing without letting in rain, bugs, or more trouble. Fiona believes it’s a personal skylight. She lies directly under it, gazing longingly like she’s waiting for a UFO to beam her out of the madness.

4. Garden Hose Splitter: Because One Hose Isn’t Enough
Filling your tank and rinsing muddy paws? Yes, please. The 2-Way Heavy Duty Garden Hose Splitter makes it simple. Just don’t leave it unattended—Fiona once unscrewed a hose with her jowls and turned the yard into a splash pad.

Final Thoughts:
In an RV with Stella, Greyson, and all our furry roommates, survival comes down to lighting, airflow, and not letting Fiona near anything with buttons or knobs. These gadgets? Worth it. Sanity-saving. Bulldog-proof-ish.
Bonus tip: Don’t let your Sphynx cats judge your lighting choices. They will. And they won’t be subtle.
