In today's video, I'm gonna share with you seven gift ideas for your favorite
rver or van lifer! So let's go!!!
What is going on youtube? Greetings from sunny but a little bit cold Florida. I'm here at
Sunshine Holiday Daytona RV Resort resort. It's a Thousand Trails park here in Florida and my first
stop in Florida. I jumped in my van and headed to florida because i wanted some warmer weather
well it's 43 degrees right now that's why i'm here in this sweater okay so this is my second
annual gift recommendation video but my last one was geared towards international travel
one backpack minimalist travel because that's the way i traveled at the time this one's geared more
towards rvers and van lifers since that's how i travel now there is one item on this list that
was on last year's list so let's see if you can guess it here's a little hint it's in the shot
right now so if you know what it is comment down below these items are at every price level from 21
dollars all the way up to 390 i'll put links to each product down in the description below okay
first on the list is only 21. it's actually the thing i'm sitting on right now it's this tripod
chair i really really love this thing um and even though it's only 21 it's probably my most used
item it's just so simple to carry it's so simple to set up and break down i love this thing there
are other portable chairs on the market like these things but it's not as grab-and-go as the other
one i have one but it's not my main chair now it's for guests really there are tons of different
brands out there at different price levels so check them all out see which one works for you i
put a link to this one below like i said it's only 21. okay so next on the list is a must-have for me
it comes in at 38 it's a sport berkey water bottle so you're probably familiar with the big silver
berkeys that a lot of youtubers have my buddies chad and paul have it uh we're the russos have it
but you probably didn't know that berkey also makes a sport bottle which is much smaller and
fits my kind of minimalist lifestyle it has this water filter just like a berkey a big berkey has
uh it lasts for 620 phillips that's a lot of phillips that's like 620 bottles of water for 38
dollars so that's a pretty good deal you can buy the replacement filters for 20 so you get another
620 bottles of water for around 20 bucks what's really cool about this one as opposed to the big
berkey water filter is you can take this thing on hikes with you this thing actually saved my
life on a hike to mount chavano it was a longer hike than i thought it was going to be and i
only brought one thing of water which was this thing but luckily there were streams and snow
on the mountain so i was able to fill this thing up you can take it dip it in the streams dip it
in the lake so it'll filter that water to pure water it's a great addition for any rv or even
if they have the big berkey because you can take it with you on hikes and other adventures when you
leave your van all right so it's early morning the sun's coming up really fast so i had to relocate
because it was just getting too bright on my face the next item on the list is the item that
appeared on both my international travel list and on my van life rv travel list that item is moreno
wool you can get a moreno wool t-shirt like you see me wear in most of my videos for around 60 i
am an unapologetic moreno wool fanboy i love this material it is probably the best travel material
out there and it translates well into van life and rv living it works in warm and cold weather
it dries really quickly it doesn't wrinkle and it's anti-microbial in layman's terms
that means you can wear it multiple times and it's not going to stink we have limited space
in our rvs and our vans so if you can wear something multiple times without it smelling
that means you can bring less clothes and free up that space for more important things like
food and water things that can help you stay off the grid longer i mentioned it dries really quick
so that's great for hikes and working out there are a bunch of different moreno wool
brands out there so do your research and find the one that works for you if you've been watching my
channel for a while you know that i'm sponsored by unbound moreno so if you go to unboundmoreno.com
and use the coupon code 30 to wake up you'll get 10 off so that's kind of a cool little deal i got
with them all right next on the list is something i bought recently and it's given me tons of peace
of mind it's a tire pressure monitoring system the one i have is made by time 8 and it comes in at 70
a flat tire is probably one of the most common mishaps that happens on the road and
can be really dangerous if it's a bad blowout this system lets me know what my current tire
pressure is in each one of my tires and will sound an alarm if my tire pressure gets too low
or too high it's a really simple system to install you just replace your old tire valve caps with
the pressure sensors and you just plug this little thing into your cigarette lighter it's that simple

doing that also make sure you hit that subscribe button so you don't miss any of my weekly videos
all right next on the list comes in at around 80 and it's not a thing it's more of an experience
you can gift your favorite rver or van lifer a harvest host membership like i mentioned it
runs about 80 but with a coupon code you can get it for about 65 with that 65 membership you get
access to hundreds of wineries breweries museums farms that your favorite van lifer or rver can
camp at for the night for free there is one caveat to that free you are expected to buy something so
if you go to a winery or a brewery you buy a glass of wine i'm not a big alcohol drinker so
i like to stop at the farms and i can stock up on groceries there instead of the grocery mart
and i probably get better groceries there anyway my favorite way to use harvest hosts is when
transitioning from one region to another they have a feature on their website that allows you
to search by route so you can figure out which harvest host locations are close to your route
staying on a beautiful farm or vineyard is so much better than overnighting at a walmart parking lot
so this is an awesome gift for your favorite van life or rver okay so next on the list is a
portable jump starter once again this is an item that gives me tons of peace of mind most of us
like camping off grid and that means sometimes you're alone if your battery dies you may be
waiting a long long time for a jump start there are tons of different brands of these out there
i went with the noku boost which costs about a hundred dollars the one i have is made for
a six liter engine but you can get them for all different levels of engine and battery
noku claims that this thing will get 20 jump starts off of it so that's pretty good and you
can also use it as an emergency usb charger if you need that last up i'm going to admit
is not a necessity it is one of those boys with their toys and i fall victim to that sometimes it
is a portable air compressor we talked about tire pressure earlier and it is important to maintain
proper air pressure and this thing lets me do that also if you want to take your van or rv onto sand
or softer ground it's a good idea to let out some air pressure and once you're done
you can use this thing to fill it back up i also personally plan to get an inflatable kayak
or stand up paddle board in the future and this thing will allow me to air it up really quickly
this thing might seem a little intimidating to hook up first but it's actually really easy
you just hook it up to your battery hook up a couple attachments and you're ready
to air up your tires i'll put a link to vi air's youtube video on how to properly use this thing
again this is not a necessity but it's kind of a cool thing to have okay so those were my van life
gift ideas which one were your favorites are there things i didn't mention that you think would be
a good gift for a van lifer or an rver if so make sure you put your ideas down in the comments also
