Nobody wants a safety system that can’t weather the storm–whether that storm consists of snow, rain, sleet, or dust.

The elements have a habit of ruining expensive equipment by entering into any tiny crevice and seam not completely sealed off. 

Enter the Ingress Protection (IP) rating system, the scale used to identify how well your equipment’s interior is shielded from solid particulates, liquids, and submersion.

You’re an average driver with a decent driving record, your car model is quite a popular one on the road, but you still think there’s room for improvement as far as your insurance premium goes. 

We know you’ve already heard the conventional tips like bundling, shopping around for rates, keeping your record clean, avoiding sports cars, and taking defensive driving classes--but we’ve got a few that are a little less-known. 

• Investing In A Safety Camera/Sensor System 

Spoiler alert: we’re kicking this off with an obvious RVS pick here. You may not necessarily get a discount from your insurance...

Chances are, you’ve turned on the news in recent weeks only to be bombarded with stories about “record breaking” weather events. 

Whether it be flooding, massive thunderstorms, floods, or extreme heat, it seems that extreme weather conditions have been ramping up lately (and just think, hurricane season isn’t even here yet!). 

Here at Rear View Safety, we believe it’s better to be prepared for Mother Nature than to be surprised by her, and these products are just some of the ways we try to plan ahead when it comes to facing the elements and the havoc they wreak. 

After all, who wants wet, stalled-out,...

This July 4th feels different. Americans will be hitting the highways in droves, and who can blame them? After the pandemic, the shutdowns, and a year of limited travel, this year, Independence Day will feel just a bit more...free. 

Likewise, the most dangerous weekend of the year will probably be even deadlier in 2021, as we celebrate our re-found freedom. A reopening nation, drinking, more vehicles on the roads, and distractions in the form of fireworks and cell phones make the conditions even more hazardous than usual. 

While we do recommend the usual safety tips (don’t drink and drive,...

Of course, you’ll need to stock up on supplies before you get going, and there are gadgets aplenty that are all but necessary for road-tripping, no matter what your setup is. 

We’ve got a list of essentials that will keep you safe and mobile, whether your vehicle of choice is an RV, a van, a motorhome, a travel trailer, or a camper. 

Vehicle Flood Light

It’s no secret: many of the roads on long trips in the U.S. are dismally dark, and potential campsites, even more so. 

A good floodlight not only makes...
