3. MudBuster Portable Dog Paw Cleaner
MudBuster Portable Dog Paw Cleaner
Keeping the dog outside the RV just to keep the mud out is not necessary! The Mudbuster Portable Dog Paw Cleaner has gentle silicone bristles inside and it works by adding a little water then inserting the dog’s paw and twisting a little to wash off the mud. Do that to all 4 paws, pat them dry and the dog can jump in the RV without making a mess!

5. Tandem Tire Changing Ramp
We have friends turned us on to this Trailer-Aid “Plus” Tandem Tire Changing Ramp. You just drive the good tire on the ramp and the flat tire is lifted off the ground high enough to change the tire WITHOUT A JACK AND WITHOUT EMPTYING CARGO (even horses can remain inside a horse trailer!!!)

7. RV Permanent State Sticker Set
RV Permanent State Sticker Set
Part of the beauty of RV travel is experiencing the journey and tracking your travels … Many RVers use state sticker maps to do that. This RV Permanent State Sticker Set is unique because each sticker depicts a license plate graphic of each state. The peel and press vinyl stickers resist water, sun and salt. These make great motorhome gifts for people who do a lot of traveling.
8. Handheld Hummingbird Feeders
So many RVers love getting close to nature on their adventures … attracting hummingbirds to the campsite seems to be a “required” entertainment event. These Handheld Hummingbird Feeders are small enough to pack neatly away without taking up a ton of valuable storage space inside the rig!
This is one of my personal favorite gadgets you can see me using in our VIDEO How To Attract Hummingbirds To Your Campsite.
9. Passport To Your National Parks Booklet
Passport To Your National Parks Booklet
This Passport To Your National Parks Booklet is one of the most popular travel journals for pre-planning visits to America’s National Parks as well as memory capturing during the trip! The book comes in different formats and lists all of the National Parks in the United States and U.S. territories. My favorite part is the space for the “cancellation” stamps you can add to your book during your visits. This is a fun gift idea to pair with an America The Beautiful Pass (you’ll see that later in the list.)

11. Zero Gravity Chair
An Oversized Zero Gravity Chair tops the list of the best gifts for our big and tall favorite RVer friends.

The extra room makes them comfortable for any person and the perfect place to take a nap or curl up and read a book in the great outdoors. See our entire post on choosing the best heavy duty camping chair that will provide comfort for big and tall campers with easy access to storage compartments.
12. Kitchen Towels

13. Advanced RV GPS Navigator
This Garmin RV Portable GPS Navigator is voice activated, has a 7″ high-resolution touchscreen display and provides RV-specific services.

Wine lovers will agree, a stainless steel wine tumbler with a lid is a special gift … especially with the fun “Happy Camping” message and graphic!
18. Wrap Around RV Step Rug
Using a Wrap Around Step Rug is one of the best ways to catch dirt prior to entering an RV. It wraps around the existing RV step and is fastened by hooking springs into the holes. It can be used with manual or electric steps, measures 18″ x 17.5″, and adjusts to fit steps with a tread of 8″ to 10.5″.

20. Portable Solar Panels
For people who enjoy an off-the-grid RV lifestyle with the flexibility of lots of traveling, suitcase-style solar panels are a great addition to essential equipment.

They radiate heat and display mesmerizing dancing flames. It’s small enough to sit on a picnic table or small patio.

75. Heavy Duty Leveling Blocks
These Leveling Blocks allow you to level an RV that is parked on an unlevel surface. The interlocking blocks can be used under tires, trailer tongues and swing arm supports. We use ours often when boondocking (aka remote camping or dispersed camping) in areas like National Forests. The blocks are not designed to be used with big rigs; more sophisticated RVs have built-in levelers. Always know your equipment and its limitations.
76. Folding Step Stool
There are some things that are just barely out of reach. That’s when a Folding Step Stool comes in handy. This one sits slightly higher than the average collapsible stool. The 13-Inch height is perfect for doubling as a foot stool or side table for outdoor camp chairs.

78. Instant Pot
New RVers often stay in campgrounds and RV parks with full hookups. They also underestimate the time for travel and setup which is why an Instant Pot (electric pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, warmer & sterilizer) is a great kitchen appliance for new RVers.
79. Cell Phone Dash/Window Mount
Fumbling with a cell phone is the last thing you want to do while driving a new RV. Cell Phone Car Mounts are a great solution … especially the ones with suction cups that can be mounted to the dashboard or the windshield.
80. US National Parks Annual Pass
One of the best things about receiving an annual pass is remembering the person who gave it to you every time you use it. You can purchase a National Park Pass to give to a friend or family member. The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass Series goes by the name “America the Beautiful” and there are several ways you can buy them. MAKE SURE YOU ARE BUYING IT AS A GIFT because Interagency Passes are non-refundable, non-transferable, can’t be extended and can’t be replaced if they are lost or stolen.
