All,

My father in law is an avid traveler with his fifth wheel trailer. He and my mother in law will be off on another long excursion in 2 weeks, and his birthday is this Saturday.

I wanted to get him something that he'll actually use so I thought I'd go to the experts on this forum and see what suggestions you might have. I plan on keeping the budget between $30-$70.

Specifically I am looking of items that you have, and use often, and are geared towards the traveling lifestyle(ie.back massager/support when driving(he drives a 2011 Chevy Silverado 3500HD).

Any and all suggestions are welcome, and thanks in advance for your help!

Gift cards, while boring, are always helpful.

A wind Deflector for the tow vehicle!

If he is planning on travelling lots in the 5'er this would be the gift that keeps on giving (gas savings)!

Edit: Hadn't noted the budget - but you can always get him a gift card to go towards the wind deflector. They are sold at Camping World too, & I think they have gift cards.
