‘Tis the Season: Holiday Gift Ideas for the RV-er in Your Life
Is there an RV enthusiast on your holiday gift-giving list this year? If so, you should consider giving them something that they can enjoy the next time they take their rig out. From decorative items to use around their motorhome, to practical items that will make their house-on-wheels safer and more functional, here are some of the top gift ideas for the RV-lover on your list.
1. New Floor Mats
Keeping an RV clean means wiping your feet well before entering, and many RV enthusiasts will use floor mats outside to help protect their motorhome’s floors. If your friend or family member doesn’t have an attractive floor mat for their rig, add this to their Christmas list. This is the type of gift that is both practical and appreciated, and it will get used on many adventures throughout the years.
2. Light Fixtures
Is the lighting in their RV a little outdated? If so, an updated light fixture will be a welcome holiday gift. This will allow them to modernize their rig so they can enjoy a new look, but it will also add more functionality to their motorhome – everyone needs proper lighting to fully enjoy their space.
3. RV Electronics
If you’re looking for a gift they’ll love, consider giving them some new electronics to upgrade their house-on-wheels. LED TVs help save space and provide a clear picture for late night movie viewing. Bluetooth stereos, including outdoor waterproof options, help provide a way to stream radio stations and their favorite music playlists while they’re cruising down the highway. They’ll also improve the overall sound quality for all of the media in their rig.
4. A New Lock System
For those who enjoy the RV lifestyle, keeping their motorhome secure is a top priority. Unfortunately, the locks that come standard on most RVs are easy to break or pick, leaving their belongings at risk for theft. Many RV enthusiasts choose to upgrade their locks to help protect their valuables. While you’ll want to make sure they haven’t already done so, if they have not, contemplate gifting them a superior lock system to better protect their rig and their belongings while they’re camping.
5. Vehicle Maintenance Equipment
Tire gauges, leveling blocks, tool kits, and even cleaning supplies for a vehicle, may not seem like flashy gifts, but they are items that the RV-lover in your life will appreciate and use on every trip.
6. Nesting or Folding Cooking Equipment
From collapsible measuring cups to nesting mixing bowls, cooking equipment that saves space is a must-have for any RV-er’s kitchen. Find something they don’t already have, and they’ll appreciate the new addition to their kitchenware next time they’re making a home-cooked meal in their house-on-wheels.
7. National Parks Pass
A National Parks Pass gets an RV owner and up to four people in the same vehicle into any national park in the country. It’s an affordable option and opens the door to some of the country’s most beautiful locations without the fear of expensive entrance fees. If you know they are planning some trips that will include national parks, they will most definitely treasure this thoughtful gift.
8. Propane Fire Pit
Many campgrounds are now banning wood-burning fires because of the risk of non-native pests coming in on firewood. Cooking s’mores and hot dogs over an open flame is one of the biggest trademarks of camping, and a propane fire pit ensures that they can enjoy this tradition even if a particular campground doesn’t allow wood-burning fires.
Holiday gift giving is always a challenge, especially when shopping for adults. Yet, if the adult on your list is an RV owner, you will find a number of gift options that they will both need and appreciate. Start shopping using this list, and you’ll know that their gift under the tree is going to be something they will truly love.
