Holiday Gifts for the RV Enthusiast

‘Tis the season yet again! Time to shine up the debit card, brave the crowds (or the online shopping landscape), and get your gift-getting groove on. And if you or your loved ones prefer to deck the halls of their RVs rather than their homes, consider the many great gift ideas that could appeal to the RV enthusiasts in your life.

Here are just a few fun and functional gift ideas!

• Fuel gift cards – It’s unlikely that anyone who travels in any type of RV will turn down gas money. Consider giving gift cards from a few different gas station brands so the user has more options when he or she needs to fill the tank up.
• Wheel chocks – Chocks are a must to keep the wheels from rolling while an RV is parked, and are thoughtful gifts that provide that extra peace of mind for the user. They provide a level of protection in case something goes awry while the vehicle is in park or has the emergency brake engaged and starts to roll away anyway.
• LED headlamps – If you’ve ever had to hook up your rig at a campsite in the middle of the night, you know how helpful it is to have lots of light and your hands free. LED lights that you can wear around your head provide just that! Reasonably priced, headlamps and other types of hands-free flashlights are an invaluable gift for any RVer.
• Fire starters and flame sticks – Even people who drive luxury rigs enjoy a good campfire. Fire starters, especially unique ones – such as ones made out of macadamia nuts and wax – make great gifts. Or, give a few colorful flame sticks, which can impart a rainbow of hues to fires and make for a great outdoor show.
• Grill and grill accessories – Grilling outside is just a basic part of RVing, but not everyone has the setup to do it efficiently and properly. Get the RVer on your list a portable grill and all the tools he or she will need to cook up a storm.
• Indoor/outdoor wireless speakers – For the music, news, or talk radio lover on the go, you can’t go wrong with gifting Bluetooth-capable wireless speakers that can be used inside and outside the RV. For added functionality, look for models that have handles.
• Solar-powered USB charger – As much as RV enthusiasts love to hit the open road and get away from it all, they can’t live without their technology. So help them remain connected, even without an electrical hookup, with a solar-powered charger that works with USB devices.

And what RV campsite is ever complete without the ubiquitous string of lights for the awning? From novelty lights that look like flamingoes, flip flops, or fish, there’s a string of lights out there that will make a great gift for the traveler on your list.
