Long drives can be hard on the body. A memory foam cushion for drivers and passengers can provide much-needed comfort and support during many hours on the road.
The MYFAMIREA memory foam cushion ($20.98) gets high marks from customers.
4. Gas gift card
Fuel costs can add up quickly on a road trip. A gas gift card is a practical gift that any RV traveler will appreciate.
National Gift Card (NGC) offers a variety of gas gift cards at most major gas station brands such as Shell, Exxon, Marathon, and others, for any dollar amount.
5. Packable down blankets
Nights can get chilly in an RV. Packable down blankets are cozy, warm, and compact, making them a perfect gift for any RV enthusiast.
Blacksford includes Rumpl synthetic down blankets ($125) with every RV rental and they’d make a great gift. The blankets are machine washable, good for both inside and outside the RV, and have a variety of designs.
6. RV trip planner subscription
Make it easy to plan RV vacations with a subscription to AdventureGenie, the newest RV trip planning tool. This great gift uses AI to uncover interesting things to see and do, tailored to your interests and preferences.
RVers can find and book campgrounds, discover new activities, and plan their routes. At about $50 per year, it’s a great stocking stuffer for your favorite road tripper.
7. High quality sunglasses
Every RV driver needs a reliable pair of sunglasses. Shop for sunglasses with good UV protection and durability for hiking and camping.
Want to splurge? The William Painter – The Hook titanium sunglasses ($249) have a built-in bottle opener. For a more reasonably priced pair, the REKS Seafarer unbreakable sunglasses ($24) are a great choice.
Consider sunglasses retainers like Croakies ($9.95) for ease of taking sunglasses on and off, without losing them.
8. Road trip and camping guidebooks
Help your RV road tripper find where to go and what to do from expert road trip guidebooks. Moon’s The Open Road: 50 Best Road Trips in the USA ($27.99) and Fodor’s Best Road Trips in the USA: 50 Epic Trips Across All 50 States ($17.99) are both favorites and are filled with road trip inspiration, from classic routes to lesser-known gems.
