For many adventure seekers, RVing is more of a lifestyle than a hobby. If your friend or loved one spends more time at the RV park than at home, finding a gift that supports their passion is a great way to show you care. The following guide outlines three practical holiday gifts for the camper in your life.

A Gift Guide for RV Lovers

1. Weatherproof Mats

A weatherproof mat acts as a portable porch that makes life at the RV park cozier while keeping a rig cleaner. A larger one can be used as an area rug under an awning to place a folding table and chairs on. Place smaller versions on the ground outside the RV door. You can leave muddy boots or items on them to prevent dirt and grime from being tracked inside. 

Outdoor mats are available in a wide variety of colors, patterns, sizes, and materials. Purchase them in a loved one's favorite color or a print to highlight their personality. Opt for a fabric that is water- and ultraviolet light-resistant—like woven plastic or polypropylene—so it won't absorb moisture or become damaged by the sun. 

2. Solar-Powered Lighting

Electricity can be an issue for campers who enjoy traveling off the grid. While RVs provide a certain amount of power, overtaxing the battery can result in power loss. 

Solar lights are a great addition to any rig, as they provide a replenishable source of light when not connected to a power source. They are available in indoor and outdoor varieties. You can choose from attractive string lights that create outdoor ambiance, table lanterns that improve nighttime navigation, and convenient click-lights for inside the RV.

3. Backup Camera

Backing up can be challenging in larger vehicles, especially when maneuvering recreational ones that feature more blind spots than traditional cars and trucks. This increases the likelihood of hitting nearby obstacles. Backup cameras take the guesswork out of reversing, helping the driver avoid nearby structures, vehicles, and passersby. These devices are available in wired and wireless options. Keep in mind that wireless varieties are prone to signal loss, making them less effective in remote areas and RV parks.
