At Paradise RV, we're all about going all-out on Christmas decorations—go big or go home, right?!
Before you get started, you'll want to make sure of your available wattage. If you're planning a Chevy-Chase-level of decorating, consider using a generator or hooking up to a solar panel to keep your battery charged if there isn’t an RV hookup where you are camping. (Check the rulebook if you're staying somewhere that might limit your wattage usage.) You can also conserve power by using LED lights or use battery-operated lights instead. You'll also need extra outdoor extension cords and keep electrical connections protected from the elements with outdoor cord protectors.
Start with the foundation of all Christmas magic: Christmas lights!
Hang patio string lights around the campsite
Mount lighter strings or fairy lights on your camper using magnetic light mounts
Mark out paths or the perimeter of your campsite with rope lights, floating fairy lights, or lighted candy canes
Wrap shrubs, trees, or even the entire camper with net lights (remember, go big or go home!)
Hang icicle lights or lighted icicles from your awning (use badge clip holders which are light) and around the top edge of your camper or RV
Then up your game with decorations:
Use spray snow, spray ice, and holiday-themed clings to liven up windows
Use suction cups or magnetic hooks to hang stockings and lighted decorations
Install an outdoor Christmas tree or get a potted real one (bonus: you can plant it at the campground later, with permission)
Save space with a half-wall tree that can be attached to the inside of your RV or go modern with a minimalist tree
Add in light-up figurines such as reindeer and snowmen
Holiday inflatables also make over-the-top additions and can be used on top of your camper or RV if space is limited
Go for a non-traditional look with decorated palm trees and lighted flamingos, if you're feeling the Feliz Navidad vibes
Outdoor wreaths can be hooked to the RV door or the front grill
