So, having a hard time trying to come up with a gift for that camper in your family? Here are some gift ideas for travel trailer owners that won’t break the bank.

Eva’s always Happy to get a Present, even if its not camping related!

  1. If the person you are buying for wonders what camping is like in a travel trailer, what to consider before purchasing, or just wants to get more out of their travel trailer, consider a book from our collection. Click here to see the list of our books at Travel Trailer Nation.
  2. The MarCELL remote monitoring system. This is the best on the market in our opinion. It not only monitors the temperature in your travel trailer (or house), but also the humidity. There are also remote water sensors that can be placed in different locations to give you an alert of a water leak. But let’s face it, this is probably the most important thing you can buy to protect your pets if you ever leave them in the trailer. It sends a combination of texts, emails, or phone calls to alert you of a power outage or temperature/humidity deviation from your personal settings. Go to www.meetmarcell.com and use TTN20 to get another $20.00 off at checkout. You will need to buy a cellular plan for it as well but it is very inexpensive.
  3. The Water Right 500 Series water hose. The best hose we have ever used in our 30 plus years camping. It never kinks and is light weighing it at only 2.4 pounds for a 25 foot hose. Comes in a variety of colors too. It is available from a lot of different stores, but click here to view the one available on Amazon. It’s pricier than most of the RV hoses you will see on-line but well worth it.
  4. Tired of losing your bumper caps? Here’s a bumper cap manufactured by Camco, that will never come off your bumper. It is held on by very strong magnets and allows you to hook your sewer hose directly to the cap for easy removal. Click here to see more.
  5. For the DIY Guy or Gal, don’t forget about wheel bearing packers, and bearing seal removers. Both of these make the job of repacking your bearings much easier. There are many different models available on Amazon. Click here to see an example of a seal removal tool. Sure you could just pry with a screwdriver and hope for the best but you will probably break your screwdriver and things will rapidly go down hill after that (don’t ask me how I know). Click here to see an example of a wheel bearing grease packer. This is a much better alternative than hand greasing bearings!
  6. Klein Multi Tester. This multi tester will help you track down issues with your DC and AC current. It also measures DC microamps, resistance, continuity, frequency, capacitance, and diodes via test leads, and temperature via a thermocouple probe. It has an LCD display that optimizes view ability both in dark or bright ambient lighting. Click here to learn more.
  7. A 1/4 inch drive torque wrench in INCH pounds. This is the torque wrench to have for jobs where there is a torque setting needed in INCH Pounds. For example, my AC unit gasket bolts are supposed to be inspected yearly and torqued to 40 Inch pounds. It comes with its own carrying case too and it won’t break the bank. Click here to see the one I purchased but there are many others to choose from.
  8. Eternabond Roof Tape. RV roofs get damaged, sometimes even from tree branches, why not be prepared just in case. This tape is amazing, and should be a part of every RV’ers tool box. It also comes in different widths. Click here to see an example on Amazon. There is a reason it gets a five star rating, it is an amazing product that has saved many camping trips!
  9. Renator Water Pressure Regulator. Don’t let high campground water pressure ruin the water lines inside your travel trailer. Always protect yourself with a water pressure regulator, your trailer will thank you. Click here to view one on Amazon. This is very inexpensive insurance against damage to your water lines.
  10. Small portable air compressor. These are great for keeping tires full or blowing out your water lines if a unexpected cold snap happens to come along. There are so many options that I would hesitate to make a recommendation. I purchased a 6 gallon Bostich 150 PSI compressor and am very happy with it, but it needs household current to operate. There are many 12 volt air compressors as well that will operate off your RV battery. Having an air compressor with you when you travel is just a good idea.
  11. Valterra Flush King. This makes cleaning your black tank easier, and helps break up plugged tanks. We have always used on and like the results. Click here to view on Amazon.
  12. An Amazon Prime Membership – let’s face it most RV folks end up as Amazon junkies, and there isn’t a 12 step program for that …yet. They will thank you for getting them the gift that gets them what they need in a hurry and at a great price.
