Black Friday is almost here! As an RVer with very limited living and storage space, I feel the need to be very intentional with my purchases. This means I like to head into this day of savings with a plan to make sure I only buy items and gifts that will actually be useful to my family.
Not sure what sorts of tools, toys, and RV-friendly gifts you should be looking for as a person who lives in an RV? Below are some of the best Black Friday deals an RV traveler could ask for.
Entertainment and Fun
Kindle E-Readers
I am a book lover. Unfortunately, we can’t keep that many books in our RV. This is where a Kindle E-Reader comes into play. By investing in one of these guys, you can carry hundreds of books in a very small space and right now, some models are on Sal on Amazon. During this sale, select Kindle E-Readers will be up to 32% off!
Lego and Magna-Tiles Building Toys
Both of my kids adore LEGO bricks and Magna-Tiles and can play with them for hours. I appreciate that they are open-ended toys that can be anything with a bit of imagination, meaning they can take the place of a lot of different toys, something that is super handy in a small living space. Unfortunately, they can be a bit on the pricey side, but if you buy during Amazon’s Black Friday sale, you could get up to 30% off on Amazon on select Lego and Magna-Tile sets.
Outland Living Portable Propane Fire Pit
I love a good campfire! That said, I don’t always want to build a fire or smell like smoke. For my family, this is where a propane fire pit comes into play. This pit allows us to enjoy the benefits of a campfire without the work, mess, and smell, something I really appreciate. This Outland Living Portable Propane Fire Pit includes lava rocks and is on sale right now for 33% off on Amazon.
GoPro HERO13 Black Ultra Wide Edition
Recording our family’s nature adventures is a must for me. That said, I am always a little bit nervous about using my phone on some of our wetter and messier adventures. This is why many RVers choose to invest in a waterproof, mud-proof action camera like a GoPro. For Black Friday, Amazon is selling the GoPro HERO13 Black Ultra Wide Edition for just $369.99. This is a 23% savings and is a worthwhile buy, for sure.
Mini Portable Projector
Recently, we purchased a projector. I love it because it allows us to project movies onto the side of our rig, making it possible to have outdoor family movie nights or enormous movie watching parties with our RV friends. Right now, there are a number of portable projectors on sale on Amazon. This one is deeply discounted, has all the features you might need, and has excellent reviews.
Kitchen
Select Ninja Kitchen Appliances
Sometimes my RV stove and oven are not enough for me to accomplish what I want to accomplish in my teeny tiny kitchen. In these instances, I like to have a few small appliances on hand such as an air fryer or a toaster oven. Ninja appliances are perfect for this. You can buy Ninja appliances during the Amazon Black Friday sale and save up to 42%, and I highly recommend doing just that.
Instant Pot Duo Plus
Speaking of kitchen appliances, I absolutely could not be without my Instant Pot in my RV. This is easily the most used item in my RV kitchen and if you don’t have one, you really should consider investing in one. Lucky for you, the Instant Pot Duo Plus is on sale on Amazon right now and it is an excellent deal. Grab it while you can!
Household Items
Ruggable Washable Rugs
Dirt and sand are constantly being tracked into our tiny-homes-on-wheels, making it difficult to keep the floors clean and frustrating my husband to no end. Something that’ll make cleaning the floors a bit easier? Ruggable washable rugs! These come in a variety of amazing designs, can be tossed in the washing machine, and some will be up to 30% off during Amazon’s Black Friday sale.
Turkish Cotton Beach Towel
I adore a good beach day. What I don’t love? Waiting for the towels to dry after the fact. When tons of regular terry-cloth shower towels and beach towels are hanging in our tiny bathroom, nothing wants to dry properly. Fortunately, Turkish beach towels dry a lot faster. This is why we have made the switch to this style of beach towel. We especially love these Turkish beach towels, which happen to be on sale right now.
Off-Grid Power Solutions
Jackery Explorer 1000 Solar Generator Kit
I adore a good off-grid boondocking adventure. That said, I do not like being without power. This is why solar generators like the Jackey Explorer 1000 Solar Generator are so great. Grab the whole solar generator kit and you’ll have power wherever you are without the noise and stink of a traditional generator. It also removes the need to install solar panels on your roof (something that can be daunting, for sure). Best of all, it’s 19% off on Amazon right now.
WEN 3600 Watt Portable Inverter Generator
Of course, if you can’t splurge on the solar generator listed above, a traditional gas powered generator will do the job just fine. In fact, we did much of our boondocking with a small inverter generator. The WEN 3600 Watt Portable Inverter Generator is a good choice. It is on sale for 20% off on Amazon and is enough to power anything in your rig.
Handy Tools and RV Upgrades
VIVOSUN Folding Beach Wagon
One thing I’ve wanted the entire time we’ve been on the road? A folding beach wagon. I just think it would be so nice to be able to pull laundry or a kiddo around in it and obviously, it would be ideal for the beach. Unfortunately, I’ve gone without all these years, but that doesn’t mean you have to.This VIVOSUN Folding Beach Wagon is a good pick and is offered at a 45% discount as part of Amazon’s Black Friday Sale.
Shark Cordless Anti-Allergen Stick Vacuum Cleaner
Those washable rugs mentioned above are one way to keep your RV floors a bit cleaner, but if you have carpets, you’ll also need a vacuum cleaner. This is where the Shark Cordless Anti-Allergen Stick Vacuum Cleaner can help. This is one of our favorite vacuums for RVing and it is discounted 49% on Amazon for Black Friday.
CARTMAN Home Tool Kit
Tools are a must-have when RVing. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that things are always going to need fixing. Besides, there are always upgrades I want to make to my rig. This CARTMAN Home Tool Kit is a great starter set for those who need some tools for their rig, and it’s being sold at a 32% discount at Amazon.
RVLock Compact and V4
I hate dealing with keys every time I want to lock or unlock my RV door. Apparently I’m not alone because many RVers seem to hate it so much they switch to the RVLock. This handy upgrade allows you to lock and unlock your RV door with a code or even just a key fob. It’s much more secure than a traditional RV lock too. Right now, both the RVLock Compact and RVLock V4 are on sale on Amazon. Snag one while you can!
OGO Compost Toilet
If you enjoy boondocking as much as I do, you’ve probably had the same issue with full tanks that we always end up having. One of the best ways to fix this problem? A composting toilet. The OGO Compot Toilet is on sale on Amazon right now and is the perfect RV upgrade if you’re looking to stay off-grid for longer periods of time.
As you can see, there are all kinds of amazing deals on items that will make RV life just a bit more comfortable. From stocking stuffers for travelers to incredible gifts that every RVer will love, I’m sure you’ll find some amazing buys this Black Friday.
