We now have a one stop shop available filled with products available on Amazon that have been recommended by our fellow owners and campers. This is an ever growing and expanding list so please let us all know what product(s) you have used and would recommend to others. As new products are recommended I'll continue to add them to our 'Owners Store' located [a href="http://www.livinlite-owners.com/page/owners-store"]HERE[/a].
As a related thread we also have the [a href="http://www.livinlite-owners.com/thread/2109/bad-gear-experiences"]Bad Gear Experiences[/a] thread going where you have the chance to be save your fellow owners the heartache of getting a terrible piece of kit.
Update:
I've added a link at the top of the forum now that is a dedicated LivinLite Owners Store with products recommended on this forum all found on Amazon.
I'd like to add any and all products we typically recommend using so please update here with anything you like to see listed.

@charleschapman, the backup camera is no longer in stock and it says it has no idea when it may become available so I left that one off for now.

Awesome list, some things are already in the store but I've added any new items noted

All products have been added.
I've also started to categorize them so they should be easier to find, while also adding them to just the one large unsorted list.
I recommend this macerator. Having used it more than a dozen times now it has proven to be a solid piece and a bargain at the current price. http://www.amazon.com/Valterra-SS01-Boxed-SewerSolution-System/dp/B00CCYWJQK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463105245&sr=8-1&keywords=sewer+solution
I think most everyone has one of these too. I just installed it but the water savings are measureable and the quality of shower is greatly improved over the OEM one. http://www.amazon.com/ETL-26781-White-Oxygenics-Shower/dp/B00F5MUB66?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
A good compressor. Although this is the one I bought they make automatic ones for more money. A brand worth mentioning for quality compressors. http://www.amazon.com/Viair-30033-VIAIR-Portable-Compressor/dp/B000X90YUO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
A stove that will boil and simmer like no other. 25kbtu per burner (I calculate more like 20 but who's counting) for those who camp year round and at altitude. It will get those lobsters screamin'. LARGE enough for large pot and pans together at once. A best buy at 69 bux. http://www.amazon.com/Stansport-Outfitter-Output-Propane-Stove/dp/B001ABK3IC?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
Thanks @whoofit, I've added the items
Coleman liquid fuel camp stoves are trusty pieces of kit - good for camping but also good for prepping for the end of the world...
Here's the dual fuel one -- can use unleaded gas or Coleman fuel (naphtha): >>[a href="http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Guide-Dual-Fuel-Stove/dp/B00QMW5H76/ref=sr_1_19?s=outdoor-recreation&ie=UTF8&qid=1463613271&sr=1-19&keywords=coleman+campstove"]Traditional Coleman Stove with the Grey Tank[/a]<<
Or the one that only burns Coleman fuel (naphtha): >>[a href="http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-3000000789-Compact-Gas-Stove/dp/B00GVKXCRG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_468_6?ie=UTF8&dpID=51p1iFFDntL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=16EC3AXM9PWH8C5TQKHM"]Traditional Coleman Stove with the Red Tank[/a]<<
Tip: if you ever see these at garage sales pick them up. All the parts are available to recondition them and there are lots of collectors for the older ones. The colour of the tank identifies if it is a dual fuel burner or not.
Here's another nice coleman stove -- this one operates on your choice of Coleman fuel, unleaded gasoline or kerosene...
>>[a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009VC7QK?psc=1&smid=A1N1CRVHKL29ML"]Coleman Exponent Multi-Fuel One Burner Stove[/a]<<
@peislander I actually have all of those stoves personally and have them listed in the store as well. I love the liquid fuel stoves and hope to have a good write up on the exponent soon. I can't wait to try it with K-1
@peislander, many years ago I started with my Primus Omnifuel stove for backpacking. It was the same basic unit that is still available today http://amzn.to/1WE5XCg
I never did try it with anything except white gas / camp fuel but I've read about how its used all over the world with just about anything that will burn :)
I still keep it in my camp tool box with a bottle of fuel for those times that I dont want to break out the big stove. The only thing I can complain about is the noise level. These jet style stoves truly sound like a rocket trying to take off. I've seen an add on device that help quiet them down, but it supposedly also reduces its efficiency. Plus since it simply rests on top of the jet its reported that it can be tricky to use.
On a side note, have you ever seen the Coleman liquid fuel stove as a three burner setup? I came across one at a flea market not long ago and I am still kicking myself for not picking it up. Even if it was just a piece to hang on the wall it would have been worth it. I do think having three burners would be difficult to have a consistent temp on though. My two burner had a learning curve since adjusting one flame impacts both. I can only imagine how much more impact adding a third burner would make.
-Sean
I have an Optimus 8R backpacking stove I bought at a garage sale in the 1980's for $2. It works great. Typically I've used it with unleaded gas. As Sean notes - it really roars! I once tried it with alcohol but found it would shoot a stream of fuel -- flame thrower style -- that didn't seem like something I should be doing. Its a great stove for a 'bug-out kit' or car camping. I believe it will burn naptha (Coleman fuel), diesel, kerosene, lamp oil, and white gas (unleaded gas). Of course it will also burn leaded gas but that's not so good for you!
Here's one on EBAY: >>[a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Optimus-8R-Camping-Backpacking-Cooking-Stove-SWEDEN-/182124191586?hash=item2a67729f62:g:iu8AAOSw1DtXGn4h"]Optimus 8R[/a]<<. They still sell a similar model but I think it is bigger. Like an 8R on steroids!
Not to steal the thread but is there an advantage to liquid fuel over propane other than the flexibility of multi-fuel? What makes it worth lugging around the extra fuel?
The liquid fuel has one primary advantage over propane when it comes to performance in cold temperatures. Propane (especially the 1 pound tanks) will become less and less effective in colder temps. I've even had the 1 pounders flat out fail to function in temps just below freezing. We had a thread going on this a while back here: http://www.livinlite-owners.com/thread/1653/dual-fuel-worth
In the end the choice boils down to convenience, performance, and overall personal preference. I am a huge fan of the liquid fuel stoves for the flexibility, but I admin propane has its appeal.

I updated the store. Thanks @peislander
Sean just posted to the store about 30 of my favorite items I forwarded to him a couple days ago. I sent in only those items that were not duplicates from others and that worked out well for me.
Which brings up an interesting point. I've had some items not work out and in one case that caused a safety issue. I'm not sure we would want a "bad item" thread for aftermarket stuff, but perhaps there is a creative way to point out in a separate thread when things don't work out? How about just a thread titled: "Camper Additions That Didn't Work Out". Any thoughts on whether we need a thread like that?
I like that idea. I can even make these two threads stickies, that way we have the good and the bad items easily available for everyone.
I was at a campground that gave me a site with just a 50 amp hook up, had to run out and find this to hook up.
http://www.amazon.com/Conntek-14315-1-5-Foot-Pigtail-Connector/dp/B003YDY7YK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1465131692&sr=8-3&keywords=50+amp+to+30+amp+rv+adapter
I have yet to encounter a 50A-only campsite, but we did pick up a similar pigtail converter when we picked up our 21BHS - kind of cheap insurance for that unlikely event, which you apparently stumbled across.
Sean,
A great shower that needs to be added to the store for those of us in the QS campers
http://amzn.com/B008BXPI1E
I will second that. I have used one of these and was surprised by how well it works and how versatile it is. Especially in the high mountains and desert, it is hard to find a easy place to hang gravity fed water sources.

I love the no power options for their simplicity. I have a shower setup in the works that uses a 12v water pump but something like that where it can be used anywhere and anytime is great. Thats part of the reason I have been tempted to get something like this: http://amzn.to/1Umi2Fy
Its basically a dry bag (or in this case a wet bag) with molded in scrubbing nubs. You can then fill with small batches of clothes and wash away. Seems like a good way to extend a trip without bring more clothing.
However I'm cheap and I like to tinker so I think I have a diy solution for it. Years ago we received one of those As Seen On TV items [a href="http://www.amazon.com/As-Seen-On-TV-MS011112/dp/B004RHQ3E4/ref=pd_sim_121_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=51WbOptPZ2L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0TNVXS04HWM5ABDKSQ2T"]Mr Steamy[/a] and it has just sat on a shelf since then. Well why not take that, or better yet one of [a href="http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6754-3655-Dryer-Balls-Set/dp/B007Y2TBI4/ref=pd_sim_121_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=518X7szDMWL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0TNVXS04HWM5ABDKSQ2T"]THESE[/a] and throw it in a traditional dry bag. Slosh it around and do some 'scrubbing' for while and it should do the same thing. Bam $20 bucks or less depending on what you may or may not have already and you're good to go :)
In looking at these items I was reminded the "old days" when my wife and i backpacked - smelly clothes didn't matter because, well you know.
The Scrubba Wash Bag is a good option, it bugs us to either have to bring a lot of extra clothes (which ties up space and most of which we end up not using) or to have to stop, find a laundry and dig around for enough change to do a good wash and dry. Not sure about Mr Steamy though, wouldn't think that it would do much for cleaning clothes in a "wash" cycle. Another use for the dryer balls? They look as if they would be extremely useful as massage implements for sore backs, shoulders and feet.
Will have to give this some thought - may dig out the dry bags that we have stashed away and give the old fashioned washing machine a try.

Years ago we received one of those As Seen On TV items [a href="http://www.amazon.com/As-Seen-On-TV-MS011112/dp/B004RHQ3E4/ref=pd_sim_121_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=51WbOptPZ2L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0TNVXS04HWM5ABDKSQ2T"]Mr Steamy[/a] and it has just sat on a shelf since then. Well why not take that, or better yet one of [a href="http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6754-3655-Dryer-Balls-Set/dp/B007Y2TBI4/ref=pd_sim_121_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=518X7szDMWL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0TNVXS04HWM5ABDKSQ2T"]THESE[/a] and throw it in a traditional dry bag. Slosh it around and do some 'scrubbing' for while and it should do the same thing. Bam $20 bucks or less depending on what you may or may not have already and you're good to go :) [/quote]Anything called Mr Steamy deserves it's day in the sun.
[quote source="/post/21933/thread" author="@fasteddieb" timestamp="1465133600"]I have yet to encounter a 50A-only campsite, but we did pick up a similar pigtail converter when we picked up our 21BHS - kind of cheap insurance for that unlikely event, which you apparently stumbled across.[/quote]The 50 to 30 amp adapter came in handy for us when we went to hook up and found that the 30 amp breaker was bad. Used the converter and hooked to the 50 amp circuit so we could get the A/C going until it was fixed. Never needed it again though; but it is a nice to have.
I dont know if I just overlooked them earlier but I've added both the 50 > 30 amp adapter and the 30 > 15 amp adapter to the tools section of the store.

Bimart had these for $50 last time I was in there and picked one up. We love it although its not the easiest thing to put away. They have other brands that I guess are easier to put together but they are more expensive. https://www.amazon.com/Stansport-Deluxe-Portable-Fold-Up-Kitchen/dp/B012FIIVZU/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1472196107&sr=1-1&keywords=stansport+outdoor+kitchen
These work great. Will heat darn near anything you want. Plus they are cheap and they last 3 hours on high and 9 hours on low on 1lb tanks. https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Bottle-Top-Propane-Stove/dp/B0009PUR5E/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1472196148&sr=1-1&keywords=coleman+single+burner
These match our trailers pretty great. Just got mine a few days ago. Quality is decent but the price is very good. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0083LHN7Q/ref=twister_B01JSS1N32?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
