Big Truck Big RV Tongue Weight Scale

Hey y’all, it’s JD from BTBRV! If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas or holiday gift for the RVer or trailer owner in your life, I’ve got a great idea for you! A 1K Trailer Tongue Weight Scale is one of those gifts they might not think to buy for themselves, but they’ll be so glad they have! Knowing your trailer’s tongue weight is super important for safe towing, proper weight distribution, and a smoother ride down the road. And let’s be real, nobody wants to guess when it comes to towing safety!

This handy compact and portable tool takes the guesswork out of getting hitched up and helps give you peace of mind before your next adventure. So skip the socks and sweaters this year and give your favorite camper something they’ll actually use! Because the best gift is one that helps keep your loved ones safe while they’re out making memories on the road. Happy camping, y’all!

Power Mountain Tallboy Off-Road Bottle Jack

We really like how versatile the Tallboy 6T Jack from etrailer is. It comes with different attachments depending on what you’re lifting, whether it’s a frame or a flat surface, and it can extend higher than any other jack we’ve owned, which is great for our bigger trucks and trailers. The base is also really wide and sturdy, so it feels nice and stable. Plus, we love that it comes with a carrying case that keeps everything organized and together instead of having a bunch of loose pieces rolling around in the truck.

GSI Outdoors Large Carbon Steel Griddle

The biggest reason I love this griddle is how efficiently it uses a two-burner camp stove. Two round pans leave a lot of unused space, while this rectangular griddle makes better use of that footprint. I also love that the carbon steel cooks much like my cast iron, but with considerably less weight and a thinner profile. It fits right into my flat-pack approach to camping: more usable cooking space without bulky cookware to store.

Lippert Screen Defender Screen Protector

What we love most is the peace of mind it gives us every single day. The Lippert Screen Defender adds an extra layer of protection to our RV screen door, helping prevent tears, dents, and damage from constant use while also keeping our precious dogs safely contained inside when the main door is open.

For RVers traveling with pets or small children, the Screen Defender checks all the right boxes: durable, easy to install, and designed to withstand the realities of life on the road. It helps protect one of the most vulnerable parts of an RV while giving your kids and furry family members a secure barrier between them and the great outdoors. With limited storage space in an RV, we love gear that solves multiple problems without taking up any room at all. Honestly, it's one of those upgrades you don't realize you need until you have it, and then you wonder how you ever camped without it.

MAXXAIR MaxxFan Deluxe Vent Fan

After owning four RVs, we can confidently say that our MaxxAir vent fans are one of our favorite upgrades! We have two in our RV, and we love that they can be integrated into our RV's roof ventilation system to help keep fresh air circulating.

One of our favorite features is the built-in thermostat, which we can set to automatically turn the fan on when the temperature inside the RV rises above 78 degrees. It's especially great for keeping air moving without having to constantly adjust anything! They're also easy to install, and the removable screens make cleaning a breeze. It's one of those practical upgrades that makes RV travel more comfortable, which is why we think a MaxxAir fan would make a fantastic holiday gift for any RVer!

Pollak 7-Way LED Circuit Tester

I picked up this 7-way plug tester from etrailer when I was wiring my C30, and it’s turned into one of the handiest tools I own. When the trailer lights aren’t working, I just plug it in and know right away whether the problem is on the truck side or the trailer side, which saves a lot of guessing and chasing wires. It’s small enough that I keep it in the door pocket of whatever truck I’m driving, and it’s come in handy more times than I can count.
