New Travel Tech - Apple Air Tags

Use Air Tags to track your luggage, too.

We’ve heard a lot lately about thefts of RVs. Travel trailers, motorhomes, and yes, even fifth wheels. Often, these vehicles disappear forever.

However, there’s a surefire way to track your RV, and for that matter, your purse, backpack, or any of your travel gear.

Apple Airtags are a shockingly easy and affordable way to track your belongings wherever you go. They are a small device that can fit anywhere and link to your phone to use as a tracking device.

They are about the size of a large coat button. An Airtag is a small tracking device created by the geniuses over at Apple. It seamlessly links to your Find My app on your Apple device, like your iPhone.
