We’re just a week away from Black Friday and the “official” start of the holiday shopping season (though, chances are you’ve probably already begun shopping, right?!).
As you try to find the perfect gift for the overlanding or off-roading on your list, you might be stumped as to what to get them. But we’re here to help!
We’ve got ten great holiday gift ideas that are sure to please even your hardest-to-shop-for friends and family. All of these gifts are under $150 too!
Gifts Under $150: Briter Products Multiposition Camera
Many campers and RVs these days come with built-in security systems with cameras that allow you to see what’s going on outside your rig while you’re inside.
But if your loved one has an older camper or RV, they might be “flying blind” without knowing what’s outside making all that racket. Is it a bear? Is it Cousin Eddie? Or did the wind just knock over the camp chair?
With the Briter Products Multiposition Camera, you can quickly and easily see what’s going on.
These cameras come in two varieties – adhesive mounted or hardware mounted – and offer a 170-degree viewing angle. The camera is equipped with a 1/3″ CMOS PC 1099 sensor, a 13.5mm lens, and can operate in temperatures from -4F to more than 158F.
Perhaps best of all, the camera is tiny – just 1.4″ x .9″ – so you can keep an eye on what’s happening outside without the cameras being easily noticed.
So, this holiday season, why not give the gift of peace of mind and added security?

J.A. Schenk Co. Extension Rod & Kettle Rod
I’ve gushed over how much I like The Schenk. In fact, it’s one of my all-time favorite cooking tools!
So if the person on your shopping list also has The Schenk, you can give them a Schenk Extension Rod and Kettle Rod to expand the capabilities of The Schenk even further!
The Extension Rod measures 24″ x 0.75″ x 0.75″ and gives you two additional feet of height for even more versatility for cooking.
The Kettle Hook, meanwhile, gives you the capability of supporting or hanging a kettle, coffee pot, or even a dutch oven over the fire.
The Kettle Hook measures 18″ × 0.5″ × 0.5 in”, and like the Extension Rod is made of steel for long-lasting durability.
There’s nothing quite like a home-cooked meal when you’re overlanding, camping, or off-roading. And with The Schenk and these accessories, making home-cooked meals has never been so easy over an open fire!

Avid Power Tire Inflator Air Compressor
When off-roading, you need the capability of deflating your tires when driving on sand, but you also need to be able to reinflate them once you’re back on a more solid surface.
With the Avid Power tire inflator, you get both inflation and deflation modes. It comes with dual solid-metal motors that provide exceptional power and fast inflation, too. Though it does not work on heavy-duty truck tires, it will do the trick for everything from bicycle tires to light-duty truck tires.
The unit runs on 12V DC or 120V AC power and features preset capability, which means you simply set the desired level of inflation and it will automatically shut off when the correct pressure is reached.
It really couldn’t be any easier to inflate or deflate tires than with this little guy!
