Are you looking for gifts for RV owners? We’ve collected more than one hundred fun ideas! We’re listing all the best gift ideas here. This gift guide is full of fun gifts for RV travelers. Whether you are looking for a Christmas or a birthday gift, you will find an excellent gift for RV campers.
Things You Need To Know To Buy The Perfect Gift For Your Rver
Are They A Full-Time or Part-Time RVer?
A part-time RVer may want to escape cooking when they camp while a full-time RVer is more likely to use their kitchen and therefore want new gadgets.
What Type Of Rig Do They Camp With?
There is a lot of difference between storage space in a travel trailer versus a class B van. And most travel trailers will not have the storage space of a fifth wheel.
How Big Is There RV?
Travel trailers start at around 15 feet and go all the way up to 40 feet. That is a 25-foot difference and you can fit a lot of stuff in those additional feet.
Do They Stay At Established Campgrounds, Or Do They Prefer Dispersed Camping?
A couple who stays in campgrounds with paved sites and full amenities will not appreciate the gift of sand tracks like a couple who camp off dirt roads at sites with little to no amenities.
What Type Of Adventures Do They Like?
Is their idea of camping lazing around a campfire in the evenings and spending their days lounging around with a good book? Or are they the type to ditch their rig all day to hike, bike, and kayak?
How Long Have They Been RVers?
You would really have to know seasoned camper owners well to know exactly what gifts on this list they don’t already have. To play it safe, you might want to get seasoned RV travelers like us an Amazon gift card.
For new RV owners, it isn’t going to be as hard to pick an incredible gift from this list.
What Is Their Travel Speed?
Those whose camping style is to sit in place for a week or more tend to set up more outdoor living stuff than those who camp somewhere new every night.
How Many People Do They Travel With?
A newlywed RV couple will want different items than an RV couple who travels with three kids under 5.
Why Trust Us To Provide You With A Great RV Gift Ideas?
We bought our first camper, a pop-up tent trailer when our eldest hit his teenage years; he is almost 30 now. Over the years, we have experienced all types of different ways to enjoy RV camping.
We have owned two pop-ups, two travel trailers and a truck camper in that time. We have been weekend warriors with kids and now without. We lived the full-time family RV lifestyle in 2017 for close to 6 months when we took all three of our children on an epic RV trip of a lifetime. Jack is now a travel RN, meaning we often live full-time in our RV for several months, parked in one place.
We certainly don’t own every item on this list, but we own quite a few and I took the time to read the reviews before recommending the products.
The Most Popular Gifts For RV Owners
For your shopping convenience, I made each category a separate idea list on my Amazon Influencer page. I linked to that specific list category at the top of each section.

Outdoor Recreational Gear
Shopping list for this section.
Most people who RV are into some outdoor recreation, whether fishing, hiking, biking, hunting, rock hounding or more. And with those hobbies comes the need for essential equipment and fun add-ons.
1. Inflatable Kayak
We purchased two of these super affordable inflatable Kayaks and are incredibly pleased with them.
2. Inflatable SUP
3. Foldable E-Bike
Foldable e-bikes can often fit in the storage bays of Fifth Wheels and large motorhomes. E-bikes can come in handy when you don’t want to maneuver your large tow vehicle around the tight inner workings of some state and national parks.
4. Bike Storage Tent
No more wet seats! This bike tent is easy to set up and folds away into a tiny compact bag.
5. Heavy Duty Bike Lock
RV Kitchen
Shopping list for this section
Before you buy gifts for an RVer’s kitchen, you need to know how big it is. A person with a class B Van, for instance, probably isn’t going to have room to store a portable ice maker, but they can fit a mini waffle maker.
6. Instant Pot
The Instant Pot is the most used kitchen appliance in our travel trailer.
7. Instant Pot Glass Lid
For those who love their slow-cooked stews and chilis, a glass lid for the instant pots is a practical gift.
8. Instant Pot Cook And Bake Set
This set comes with what you need to hard-boil eggs and bake cakes in the instant pot.
9. Portable Ice Maker
I would not suggest this for small RV owners, but an ice maker is a nice luxury for those with rigs with plenty of storage.
10. Mini Waffle Maker
Make their Hotel on Wheels complete by allowing them to make a hot waffle breakfast.
11. Stove Cover
Double their counter space.
12. Sink Cover
One more way to add storage space to an RV.
13. Coleman Folding Camp Oven
If they love to cook, but their RV is too small for an oven, this is a great compact solution.
14. Omnia Stove Top Oven
The Omnia Stove Top Oven is another oven alternative for those without an oven.
15. Magma Nesting Pots & Pans
Increase their kitchen storage with this set of pans.
16. Magnetic Knife Strip
Drawer space is precious in an RV; help your friend increase theirs with a magnetic knife strip.

30. Lodge Cast Iron Combo Cooker
The only pan needed for campfire cooking! It is a deep skillet, a Dutch oven, and a frying pan in two pieces.
31. Lodge Silicone Hot Handle Cover
I use these handle covers on our cast iron frying pan when I use it on our propane camp stove and I really like it. No more getting a big potholder in the food as I move the pan around.

This cast iron cookware must-have makes a great stocking stuffer.
33. Lodge Double Sided Grill Pan
We use our double-sided grill pan to grill steaks over the campfire.

This camp cookbook has won several awards and has rave reviews on Amazon.

Ensure the safety of the hands of the cook with a pair of Ove Gloves.
39. Folding Campfire Grill
If the RVer you are buying for likes to boondock and cook over the campfire, a folding grill is a great gift idea as most boondocking sites don’t come with a fire pit with a grill.

With recipes like Dark Chocolate Raspberry Carmel Campfire Ban S’mores, you will be sure to keep the campfire cook inspired all year long with this recipe book.

If the reader on your gift list prefers audiobooks, gift them a membership to Audible Plus. They will get one book each month to keep and then get to enjoy the audible plus library of audiobooks and podcasts.

Many RV fixes happen in tight spaces where a hands-free light is necessary.
84. Folding Snow Shovel
We once woke up in our RV at the Grand Canyon to a good foot of snow outside. My husband ended up using a dustpan to dig us a pathway. His digging would have gone much faster if he had a folding snow shovel.
85. Collapsable Bucket
We keep a collapsable 5-gallon bucket in our truck camper. It takes up little space and works great for holding water for cleaning tasks when we need it.
86. Electrical Test Kit
It might be because we have a 30-amp travel trailer when we need a 50-amp, but my husband’s electrical test kit is used several times a year.

Shopping list for this section

I know a lot of RVers who love using electric blankets to keep warm in winter. Jack and I prefer electric heat pads under our Rumpl blankets. The combo keeps us warm and toasty.
97. Slippers
For winter camping, a pair of slippers with treads is awesome. That way, should you need to step outside to let the dog out for a minute, you don’t have to transfer out of slippers and into shoes–unless you want to.
98. Rumpl
My husband and I both received Rumpl blankets as a gift from a friend, and we love them! Super warm. Our only complaint is that they are slippery, making them better for cozying up with on the couch than sleeping under at night.
99. Thermal Socks
Nothing is better than thermal socks on a cold day in the RV. Those floors get cold!
100. Base Layers
This spring, we stumbled upon a super clearance deal on SmartWool base layers for each of us. We have used them several times while hiking and are sold. The cheaper brands do not come close to how warm and dry SmartWool keeps you.
101. Heated Hose
A heated hose is a must for anyone who camps in their camper in wintertime; without it, they risk waking up to no water and a frozen hose.

Solar lanterns are handy for nighttime bathroom trips or use around the campfire.
120. Harvest Host Membership With Boondockers Welcome
Give your camper friends the gift of more unique places to spend the night with a Harvest Host Membership. It will allow them to stay at over 5,000 wineries, breweries, museums, and more. Plus, when you add Boondockers Welcome, they get access to an additional 3,500 locations.
