An RVer's Christmas wish list

The Christmas wish list is a perennial request. If it’s not the parents wanting to see one, it’s the children.

For those who live in a stationary home, there are lots of things to be replaced or added. The complaint we hear is that our limited space restricts ideas. I don’t see it that way. Our home is an RV, but there are lots of unique things for RVers to enjoy.

If there are avid campers on your list, these ideas may be applicable for them, too. A visit to an RV dealer’s parts department or to http://www.blogger.com/www.campingworld.com will expand the possibilities.

The top six items on my 2011 RV Christmas wish are as follows:

  1. The new Rand McNally Tripmaker RVND7710 GPS – it has several features unique to RVs, such as bridge heights and customization based on your unit, and all the reviews I have seen rave about it’s usefulness.

  1. Patio mat – brown and white to match the RV, of course. The newer ones have wonderful designs, not “dated” like the checkerboards. They let rain and sunlight through the fibres so as not to kill the grass.

  1. Tablecloth weights – sounds trivial until you try to keep a plastic tablecloth on a picnic table in a breeze. We have clips, but some tables are too thick for clips, so weights would be better.

  1. Zero gravity recliner – oh, so comfortable for those lazy sunny days that occasionally surprise us in Alberta!

  1. Solar patio lights – patio lights are practical and pretty on the awning, in nearby trees, or on/in the ground. Because our power source is often limited, solar are preferred.

  1. Folding bicycle – these modern marvels come with six speeds and fold  to a compact size for travel. It would be so convenient for doing errands in the campground or exploring nearby areas.

Santa, are you reading this?
