Motor home owner - Gift ideas

My uncle has a significant birthday coming up, he recently bought a super A Class Motorhome, budget is £100. What can I buy him? Needs to be shipped - so nothing heavy.

Will be traveling across Europe.

How about a Wonderbag slow cooker?

Maybe with a suitable pot or pan and a Campervan cookbook?

Lots of ideas here @Bubblebathbefore8

We have a Motorhome, there is a lot of unecessary stuff people buy and obviously there is the weight of it. If you don’t want to ask him what he wants I would say.

Power pack for recharging phones, always useful, we have a couple
Crocs or slip on sandals
Some thinner hand towels, bath towels
Drying rack with little pegs
Pack of playing cards
Lightweight throws
A decent waterproof jacket that has a warm lining that can be zipped in and out
Head torch

If it's a super luxury motorhome it will have all the electricity etc that it needs so won't need the usual roughing it camping gear.

We have found solar stake lights a nice addition for when sitting outside.
A small tray with legs that can be used as an outdoor coffee table
I do like an outdoor stove - jetboil type thing so I can make a brew without disturbing anyone inside if I get up early, or stay with the group and chat rather than disappearing in to wait for a kettle to boil.

Head torchlight?
Or a small'ish oil canvas for the wall, framed with gold detailing perhaps?

£100 worth of euros so he can treat himself to a meal or something. Nobody needs more stuff, especially not people with caravans!

Sorted, a lovely small foldable table/picnic table with wine bottle holder, ideal to use on a walk or just outside motor home. Sorryweareclosed inspired. It’s wooden, lightweight and pretty.

he is wealthy, motorhome was €100k, so €100 in an envelope wouldn’t had cut it.

Thank you all!
