Need Trailer-Warming Gift Ideas

Looking for relatively inexpensive (up to $50) gift ideas for a "Trailer-Warming".

Close friends just signed contract for new trailer, DW & I want to give them something special or unique for the trailer - the kind of thing they're not likely to buy for themselves. They're not new to it, this is their second TT. The past 10-12 years they've been camping in a tiny (<20') wheel house. They're upgrading to a nice 34'.

Thanks all for the ideas. Ended up getting a day-of-the-week clock, with hour & minute hands but no numbers. They won't be retiring for several years yet but we thought it was the near-prefect RV vacation item. DW liked it so much we got one for ourselves.

I like the clock from Camping World that just shows the day, not the time. Even better if they are retired.

It depends on what kind of gift giver you are- practical vs. fun. A couple of very practical gift ideas above.

For more fun gifts- some vinyl with a saying that would be special to them. They can either apply it to the camper outside or inside.

Maybe a sign with their name on it?

Some festive awning lights?

One of those fancy picnic table + bench covers.

Offer to watch their kids, their pets, and their house so the couple can go for a week-end camp all by themselves in the new camper. Let them enjoy time completely alone. This is probably one of the best gifts anyone can give a couple with a family. You could really surprise them and pay for their campsite.

Don't know if they had a shower in their old unit. However, for a couple of friends, we have purchased an Oxygenics Shower Head. We love ours and it is a small, but meaningful upgrade to someone who hasn't used an RV shower in the past.

I purchased a Passport America discount campground card for a year as a gift to friends.
