Holiday Gift Ideas for the RVer

The year 2020 has seen an explosion of families trying out RVing for the first time. This holiday season, give the gift an RVer really wants. Having lived full time as a family in an RV for most of the year, we created a list of the best gifts ideas we wish Santa had brought us before we started being RVers. Our holiday gift ideas for the RV enthusiast will make sure the RVer in your life has a holiday merry and bright!

Gifting an RVer can be tricky if you don’t know what kind of RV they have. Our holiday gift ideas have a little something for everyone and at every price point. We have curated a list for every RV enthusiast no matter how long they have been on the road or whether they are in a motorcoach, travel trailer, or fifth-wheel. There are practical gifts, safety gifts, RV upgrade ideas, gifts for the four-legged RVers, gifts for the campfire, kid camping gifts, and gifts to help the RV gourmet.

RV Griller Gifts

Some RV’s come with a grill, but almost every camper envies the Blackstone Grill. This grill can be a grill and griddle so they can cook every meal at the campsite. Be sure to get the table legs, so your camper doesn’t commit the campsite foul of grilling on the picnic table.

1. Blackstone Grill 2. Blackstone Table Legs 3. Blackstone Grill Accessories

Gifts for the RV Kitchen

As the main chef in our RV, I have lots of gift ideas for the RV gourmet in your life…and Santa if you are listening…this is my list too!

If the RVer in your life has an RV fridge, they miss having an ice machine. Please give them a countertop ice maker, so they don’t have to buy ice anymore. The Ninja Foodie replaces many kitchen appliances and has changed our camping game. Keep in mind anything for the RV kitchen should be space-saving, unbreakable, and multi-use.

1. Countertop ice maker 2. Nesting Food Prep Set 3. Magnetic Knife Holder 4. Collapsible Salad Spinner 5. Shatterproof Flexible Wine Glass 6. Ninja Foodi 9-in-1 Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer

Gift Ideas around the Campfire

What is camping and RVing without the campfire? We found when we started; we got so much stuff for the RV, we didn’t really consider getting campfire gear. A portable propane campfire means your RVer will always be able to enjoy a campfire even in campgrounds banning wood fires. Make the campfire cozier with a camping loveseat or get the camping dog bed for Fido.

1. Propane Portable Campfire 2. Thermacell Mosquito Repeller 3. Camping Loveseat Chair 4. Portable Campfire Table 5. Camping Lanterns 6. Dog Camp Bed 7. Camp chair with side table 8. Camp cooking sticks

Kid Camping Gifts

Don’t forget the littlest RVers. These gift ideas encourage getting outside and exploring the outdoors. Our twin girls like to collect bugs, sticks, and rocks. There are great camp craft ideas, too, like painting friendship rocks. For older kids, consider walkie-talkies to explore the campground or maybe a hammock. End the day with classic characters’ camping storybooks.

1. Outdoor Explorer Set 2. Walkie-Talkies 3. Camp Crafts 4. Kid Binos 5. Curious George Goes Camping 6. Llama Llama Loves Camping 7. Pete the Cat Goes Camping 8. Portable Hammock

Upgrade the RV Gift Ideas

For those really looking to wow the RV enthusiast in your life, these items are sure to be a hit. After getting all the “must-haves” for RVs like sewer hoses, wheel chocks, and electrical cords, you can bet these items are on their wish list!

An internally installed surge protector helps protect all electronics on the RV from power surges found at campgrounds. Help your RV lover stabilize the RV from movement with either the fifth-wheel tripod or X-Chocks. A tire minder system isn’t only a fun gadget it’s also a potential disaster-saving device from tire blowouts. Give the gift of better-tasting water and headache-free water hose stress with the suggested water filter or Zero-G hose. One of our favorite purchases has been the Viair Compressor, which has enough PSI for RV tires but keeps our pool toys and bike tires inflated.

Practical RV Gifts

While these gifts aren’t the most fun or exciting, we promise these gifts will be used frequently. John has loved having a portable leaf blower to blow off our campsite and our RV roof. We feel safer in case of an emergency with an outdoor survival first-aid kit and collapsible safety cones. We find having a small handheld vacuum and adjustable broom that can be stored in a cabinet easier than finding a place to store a bigger vacuum. Every RVer will need a ladder to help check the roof, fix awnings, or wash the rig, and this telescoping ladder easily stores away.

1. Battery Powered Leaf Blower 2. Collapsible Safety Cones 3. Picnic Table & Bench Cover Tablecloth 4. 50amp to 30amp connector 5. Outdoor Emergency Kit 6. Bissel Cordless Handheld Vacuum 7. Adjustable Broom and Dustpan 8. Telescoping Ladder

If nothing on our list hits your fancy, consider giving the gift of experience for the RV.

They will think of you all year long if you gift them a National Park Pass. Or consider giving them a Harvest Host Membership, where they can boondock camp for free at over 2,000 locations like wineries, museums, or farms. Gift a Fulltime Family Membership if they plan to go on the road full-time. Fulltime Families has provided a community to learn from and friend while on the road.
