W.hen my first wife and I were newlyweds, the first Christmas together I was going to get her a washing machine for her gift. My dad herd about my great idea and told me "Boy, are you nuts" and proceeded to lay into me about my great idea! I replied "but Dad she needs one". Funny thing is I had a hard time understanding why she left me for a guy she worked with

Thanks again everyone for your input! And special thanks to our winners, toedtoes and wannavolunteerFT.

toedtoes, I am buying her some knock off ugg boots. Your post reminded me that she wanted a pair just like our daughters.
AND, wannavolunteerFT, I love this idea, and am now searching for a photo of the entire family camping.

Hey DutchmenSport -- I like that RV bag! Maybe I will look online for some of that material.

Here's the thing. If you are willing to get a Christmas gift for your wife it really needs to be something personal, just for her.

We do three gifts each year. 1 is 4 the camper for the two of us. 2 is for the house from both of us. 3 is for each other something personal.

This year we already purchased a new television and sound bar for the camper. This year we already purchased a new freezer for the house. So that leaves something personal for each other for Christmas. We did not plan on Christmas coming early but necessity just made that happen.

My suggestion is to get her something personal just for her to make her feel special and to let her know that you still love her. If you want something for the camper then make it understood it's a gift from both of you to the camper. That is if you want to keep the wife happy.

We don't exchange gifts for this very reason...we just buy what we want all year long and say "I love you" 100 or more times a day. Works for us.

How about a nice recliner style outdoor chair to relax in? Maybe one that is padded??? We use ours all the time. The other handy dandy item is one of those fold up director style chairs that folds and fits into a bag. We keep them in the back of the truck so when we go to the beach we always have a chair with us. The bag has a carrying strap to put over ones shoulder.

Great ideas! I think maybe i'll get her a replacement hood fan for over the stove. She should like that eh?

The best thing my wife likes about our rv that didn't come with it... is adding a vent fan with remote in bedroom.

OEM stock fan in the bedroom was that one of us had to get up and turn the thing on or off. Just when you're about in la-la land she would poke me or vice versa and somebody had to get up and stand up and turn on or shut off the fan.

Our kitchen vent did not have a fan, other than stove vent. So we moved the bedroom fan/vent to the kitchen and installed vent/fan with remote to bedroom.

Now with a push of button, we can operate fan laying in bed and now in the kitchen has better ventilation. Nice breeze through out RV.

Next best thing was a shoe rack I made. Now she has even more room for more shoes:S
