Finding the perfect gift ideas for RV owners can be a real struggle. The last thing an RV owner wants is one more seldom-used item squeezed into their camper’s limited storage space. But not all gifts have to be clunky and cumbersome, and they should all serve a unique RV purpose.
Start by considering who you are gifting to this year. Ask what they love most about RVing and learn how they travel. Use this information to guide your giving.

Whether camping at a NASCAR event or tailgating for the local football game, RV’s make great party mobiles. For your friends who are always the party RV, think about great gifts for RV friends to step up their entertainment game.

Gifts for the Outdoorsy Minimalists
Minimalists are the hardest friends to shop for. After all, they don’t want more “things” but rather more “experiences.” Think of intangible gifts that would suit their lifestyle. If you can’t help but purchase something to wrap and put under the tree, think of items that foster rich experiences, like games, memberships, or multi-purpose gear.
Gifts for your Off-Grid Friends
It’s not easy to unplug. Luckily, there are plenty of tools that make boondocking easier. Any camper would be happy to have an item that could speed up or simplify their off-grid RV tasks.
- 12 socket solar-powered LED String Lights are a fast and easy way to illuminate a patio.
- Take the light with you with a solar lantern, useful for searching around storage compartments late at night or lighting up a picnic table for after-dark game night.
- Portable solar panels are one of the easiest ways to break into the solar world. Move these Renogy Flex Solar Panels around to where the sun is to get maximum exposure.
Gifts for the Interior (and Exterior) Decorator
Getting lost in the litany of RV renovation images online is not hard to do. There are so many incredible RV interiors out there. Decorating and customizing your RV is personal to every owner, but some RV decoration never goes out of style.
Think of your decorator’s sense of style at home, and shop for RV finds that will put the “home” in their rolling home. Visit a Camping World Design Center for inspiration.
Gifts for the Wino and Brew Lover
RV travel is all about kicking back and relaxing. For many people, this means having the perfect beverage close at hand when the sun sets and the campfire crackles. Winos and beer drinkers won’t turn away these unique gifts.
- Picnics are a simple and romantic activity for any couple. An Adventure Wine Tote won’t go unnoticed.
- Not much can withstand the rumble of the roadway, least of all delicate glass. Opt for unbreakable wine glasses
- Keep your drink perfectly insulated with these Stainless Steel Wine Glasses with Removable Stems.
- A Membership to Harvest Hosts is a wine lover’s dream. The yearly membership grants members access to free camping in vineyards across the country.
No matter who you’re shopping for, there’s a unique gift idea out there for every RV owner.
