Featuring Peltier technology — no moving parts — the dehumidifier draws just 13.5 watts of power and is programmed to shut off automatically when the 17-ounce water reservoir is full. Place it in an RV bathroom, closet, kitchen cupboard, or wherever you need some drying action. It measures 6.1 x 5.1 x 8.7 inches. Price: $59.99.

WIRELESS BATTERY DISCONNECT
The Battery Ace Remote Battery Disconnect simplifies battery isolation for flat towing and other 12-volt applications. Operated by a compact key fob, the device eliminates the need to route wires through the engine compartment, drill through the firewall, mount dash switches, or modify interior panels, reducing installation time for both professional installers and DIYers. An included pouch blocks RF radio signals, preventing accidental activation. While the Battery Ace is optimized for flat towing, it is also suitable for RVs and other 12-volt systems that experience battery drain during storage. Suggested retail price: $194.35.

FIRE STARTER
A fire starter from Pull Start Fire will make you the king or queen of your next campfire. Simply pull the string on one of its fire starters and light a fire instantly without kindling, prep work, or matches. The fire will burn for at least 30 minutes — enough time to establish a decent blaze. These windproof, rainproof starters are suitable for campfires, grills, and firepits and can be used to light wet wood. Multiple safety features ensure a starter will not light accidentally, and they are also safe for cooking. Each starter measures 1 x 2 x 5 inches and weighs 4 ounces. A three-pack costs $19.99.
