Winegard’s Holiday Gift Guide for Tech-Loving RVers

Shopping for an RVer who gets just as excited about signal bars as they do about campfires? This guide is for you.

Whether they’re full-timers, weekend warriors, remote workers, or road-schooling families, tech-loving RVers want reliable internet, smart safety, and easy entertainment everywhere they park. Here’s a curated list of gifts that pair perfectly with the RV lifestyle, starting with the latest Winegard tech and rounding out with fun gadgets from other categories that make a perfect bundle.

1. For the RVer Who Wants “Real House Internet” on the Road

Winegard Basestation 5G – The “Control Center” Gift

If your favorite RVer is juggling campground Wi-Fi, cellular hotspots, and maybe even Starlink, the Basestation 5G is the kind of gift that changes how they travel.

Basestation 5G is an indoor 5G router and smart hub that can combine multiple internet sources: 5G, campground Wi-Fi, and Ethernet (including Starlink), and can automatically switch the connection if one connection drops and make it seamless.

Key reasons it’s gift-worthy:

  • All-in-one connectivity hub for the RV
  • Works with T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T and Winegard FreedomGO data plans
  • Supports 50+ devices, perfect for families loaded with tablets, smart TVs, laptops, and smart gadgets
  • Integrates with RV Halo smart sensors for an even smarter RV

For a tech-obsessed RVer, this isn’t just a router, it’s the brain of their rolling smart home.

Gateway 5G + Air 360+ 5G – The Ultimate Roof-to-Ceiling Upgrade

If their RV already has (or can be upgraded to) Air 360+ 5G, pairing it with the Gateway 5G router turns their rig into a connected command center.

  • Air 360+ 5G: A 360° over-the-air TV antenna with a built-in upgrade path for Wi-Fi and 5G when paired with a Winegard router.
  • Gateway 5G: A ceiling-mount 5G router that connects directly to Air 360+ 5G, enabling powerful 5G/Wi-Fi, Starlink integration, and multi-source connectivity inside the RV.

Why this bundle makes a fantastic gift:

  • Perfect for RVers who want strong rooftop reception plus a clean, ceiling-mount router inside the coach
  • Starlink compatible via Ethernet, so everything plays nicely together
  • Great for work-from-RV travelers or anyone who streams, games, or video chats on the road

2. For the Safety-First RVer and also the Pet Parents

RV Halo Smart Sensor Kit – Peace of Mind in a Box

The RV Halo Smart Sensor Kit bundles five smart sensors, all managed in the RV Halo app.

These sensors can monitor:

  • Water leaks in vulnerable areas
  • Temperature and humidity which is great for pets left in the RV for you to be able to run quick errands
  • Door and window closures
  • Motion and other environmental conditions

Through the RV Halo app (subscription needed for some features), RVers can get alerts, check on their rig, and even set geofences so they know if their RV moves unexpectedly.

For tech-loving RVers who worry about pets, frozen pipes, or sneaky leaks, this is a thoughtful, very modern “I care about you” gift.

3. For the RVer Who Loves TV Nights and Big Games

Satellite TV & OTA Antennas – Streaming Is Great, But…

Streaming is amazing with good internet, but many RVers still want live TV for sports, news, and local channels. Winegard’s lineup of satellite TV systems and OTA antennas fills that gap nicely.

Great gift directions:

  • Over-the-air TV via products like Air 360+ 5G gives RVers free local channels wherever they roam.
  • Roof-mount satellite systems like Trav’ler satellite systems are ideal for RVers who never want to miss the big game or their favorite channels, even in remote campgrounds.

Pair one of these with a cozy blanket and a note that says, “For movie nights under the stars,” and you’ve nailed the vibe.

4. Tech Gifts That Pair Perfectly with Winegard Gear

Now for some fun extras from outside the Winegard universe, carefully chosen to make amazing companions.

A. Portable Mini Projector (for Movie Nights in the RV or Outside)

A compact, LED mini projector lets RVers use their Winegard internet or TV setup to stream movies onto a screen or the side of the RV. Look for:

  • Built-in speakers
  • HDMI input (for streaming sticks or laptops)
  • Small, easy-to-store form factor

This turns that Basestation or Gateway-powered connection into a full campground cinema.

B. E-Readers & Tablet Stands

E-readers and tablet stands aren’t connectivity products but they’re content devices that rely on good Wi-Fi.

  • E-readers are light, easy on the eyes, and perfect for boondocking days.
  • Adjustable tablet stands make it easier to watch shows, take video calls, or follow recipes in the RV kitchen.

These pair beautifully with Winegard’s connection categories.

C. Smart Interior Lighting

Battery-powered LED strip lights or puck lights can transform a rig’s interior into a cozy, modern space without touching the 12V or 120V wiring.

Look for:

  • USB-rechargeable strips or pucks
  • Simple remote controls
  • Warm white or soft adjustable color modes

They complement a smart RV setup and make video calls and movie nights more pleasant!

D. Cable Organizers & Tech Travel Cases

Tech-loving RVers have cables everywhere; Ethernet cords, HDMI cables, device chargers, and more.

Great stocking-stuffer ideas:

  • Zippered tech pouches with multiple mesh pockets
  • Cable ties and reusable Velcro straps
  • Small label kits for identifying cables and SIM cards

These aren’t glamorous, but they make living with multiple devices a lot less chaotic.

E. Surge-Protected, USB-Charging Power Strip

A compact, RV-friendly power strip with surge protection and USB ports is the kind of gift RVers end up using every single day.

Look for features like:

  • Flat plug to fit behind furniture
  • Multiple USB-A and USB-C ports
  • Built-in surge protection for delicate electronics

5. How to Build the Perfect Gift Bundle

If you really want to impress a tech-loving RVer, bundle a Winegard connectivity upgrade with a couple of the accessories above. For example:

  • “Connected & Cozy” Bundle
  • “Smart & Safe RV” Bundle
  • “Movie Night Anywhere” Bundle

These combos highlight reliable internet, smart monitoring, and TV flexibility, while adding fun and thoughtful finishing touches.

Wrap-Up: The Best Gift You Can Give a Tech-Loving RVer

For RVers who live half their lives online, even when they’re miles from the nearest town, the best gift isn’t just “another gadget.” It’s confidence that they can stay connected, safe, and entertained wherever they roam.

Winegard’s 5G routers, smart sensors, and TV solutions are built for exactly that. Pair them with a few smart tech accessories, and you’ll give a holiday gift that transforms every future trip.
