Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: August 17, 2026

RV Monitor Data earns retailer commission on qualifying purchases made through links on this site. This page states exactly what that means, what it does not change, and how to avoid it entirely if you would rather.

1. The disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you follow one and buy something, we may receive a commission from the retailer. You pay nothing extra — the commission comes out of the retailer’s margin, and the price you see is the price you would see arriving any other way.

RV Monitor Data is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

2. Which links are affiliate links

Any link that takes you to a retailer’s product page should be assumed to be an affiliate link. Links between pages on this site are not, and links to manufacturer documentation, standards bodies or regulators are not.

Affiliate links carry rel="nofollow sponsored noopener", which is the machine-readable version of this disclosure. That attribute is applied automatically at the point the page renders rather than being written by hand, so a link added later cannot quietly ship without it.

3. What commission does not buy

This is the part that matters, and the structure of the site is the argument rather than a promise.

  • There are no rankings to influence. We do not publish “best of” lists, product rankings or winners. Comparison pages describe where a category sits so you can place a product against it. There is no position for a commission to move a product into.
  • Categories are chosen before any commission is known. A category is covered because RV owners have to make a decision in it, and it gets a comparison page only if the specification data supports one.
  • No manufacturer has any relationship with us. No sponsorships, no paid placements, no free product, no pre-publication review. Nobody outside this site sees a page before it is published.
  • Unflattering findings get published. Where a category’s data does not support a comparison, we say so on the page, and that reduces the commercial value of that page. We publish it anyway; a site whose findings all favor buying is not reporting findings.

4. What commission does pay for

Collecting and normalising specifications across whole categories costs time and infrastructure. Commission is what funds it. The alternatives available to a site like this one are advertising, which is worse for you to read, or sponsored placements, which would compromise the thing the site is for.

5. How to avoid it

Read the specifications here and buy anywhere you like. Nothing on this site is gated, no page requires you to click a retailer link, and searching for a product by name will get you to the same listing with no commission attached. We would rather you use the comparison and buy elsewhere than not use it.

6. A limit worth restating here

Commission gives us a commercial interest in you buying equipment. So it is worth stating plainly, on this page rather than only on the technical ones: we do not test this equipment and we cannot tell you it will protect your rig. A monitor reports a condition; it does not prevent a failure. Where a decision touches your electrical service, your plumbing or your tires, your rig’s documentation and a licensed installer are the authority, not us. That limit does not relax because we earn a commission when you act on it.

Common questions

Do you earn more from recommending expensive products?

Commission is a percentage, so a larger purchase pays more in absolute terms. We make no recommendations at all, which is the structural answer — but you should know the incentive exists, which is why it is stated here rather than left implicit.

Does clicking a link cost me anything?

No. Prices are identical whether you arrive through a link here or any other way.

Do you accept free products from manufacturers?

No. We would have nothing to do with one — we do not test.

Is this disclosure enough for the FTC?

This page is the full statement, and it is also summarised in the footer of every page on the site, so the relationship is disclosed before you reach any link rather than after.
