Need Some Advice
I have friends who are retiring that are RVers and with their new free time plan to be on the road more. I'm looking for some suggestions for what might make a good gift? They have a fifth wheel.

And I maintain that there is no gift that screams "I didn't put any thought into this" more than a card.
I disagree under this type of circumstance.
I have chairs, another chair is not thoughtful - it's just one more thing I have to find space for or get rid of. And now I feel guilty because my friend spent money on something I don't need, don't want, and/or can't use, and I'm immediately looking to eliminate it. And unlike my house, I don't have so much stuff and room that I can eliminate something given 5-10 years ago to make room for this (knowing that 5-10 years from now, I'll eliminate this for something else).
"Some folks on the internet like personalized signs, I'll buy one for them" - to me, that's not anymore thoughtful than "they are going to need to buy things on the road, I'll get them a gift card".
In this situation, if you don't want to give them a gift card, then I would go with something "disposable". A nice bottle of wine for their first dinner in the RV; a box of candies for the long drive, etc. Even a small candle that they could light in the evenings. These will take up limited room in the RV for a limited time.
