Christmas Gift Ideas for People Who Tow, Tour & Travel
How many Christmas gifts end up in a drawer by February, forgotten and unused? For someone who spends their weekends towing a van, launching a boat, or setting up camp hundreds of kilometres from home, the best gift isn’t another novelty. It’s something that solves a real problem on the road.
That’s the thinking behind this guide. Every product here has a job to do — better visibility when towing, easier access to gear, a smarter setup before holidays kick in.
We’ve grouped them by budget and by the person you’re buying for, so you can skip the guesswork and find something they’ll genuinely use.
Not sure what fits their vehicle? Some Clearview products are vehicle-specific, so it’s worth checking compatibility before you buy. We’ve made that step simple.
Order before our Christmas cut-off to have it under the tree in time.
Gift Better Touring This Christmas. Practical gifts for the people who tow, tour, and travel Australia.
Clearview® Cable Saver — $50
Ever pulled your fridge slide out mid-trip only to find the power cable jammed in the runner? This stainless steel cable keeper solves that problem. Its magnetic base clamps onto your slide, lifting the cable up and out of harm’s way, and the height trims down to suit tighter setups. No tools, no fuss — just one less thing to think about on the road. A small gift that saves a big headache.

Clearview® Clip on Tray — from $94
Where do you put the chopping board, the mug, the snacks when space is already at a premium? The Clip on Tray gives you an instant prep surface that hangs straight off your Easy Slide® or Drop Slide. Lightweight powder-coated aluminium holds up to 15kg on fold-out legs, then stows neatly under the slide when you’re done. It’s the kind of practical extra tourers wish they’d added sooner.

Clearview® Cutlery Set — $109
How often does camp cooking come undone by mismatched, rattling utensils? This 24-piece kit keeps every essential in one foldable canvas roll — chef’s knife, tongs, chopping board, and even a bottle opener for the end of a long day. Individual pockets stop the clanging and scratching, and the carabiner clips let you hang it off a fridge cage or table. Thoughtful, practical, and easy to wrap.

Gifts for caravanners. Top 4 Christmas gifts for someone who tows.
Rock Tamers® Mudflap System — from $529
Ever counted the cost of a cracked rear window or a chipped caravan after a stretch of gravel? It adds up fast, and it’s almost always preventable. Rock Tamers® sit between vehicle and load, deflecting the rocks and debris that get flung up on unsealed roads — adjustable in width and height, and removable with no drilling required. They transfer between vehicles, use stainless steel hardware throughout, and each kit includes a free Rock Screen for gravel-heavy trips. A practical gift for anyone towing a caravan, trailer, horse float, or boat who’d rather protect their investment than repair it.

Clearview Towing Mirrors
Anyone who’s hooked up a van knows the moment their standard mirrors suddenly aren’t useful anymore. So why do so many drivers put up with it? Clearview Towing Mirrors are designed to give a genuinely wider view around the load — the kind of visibility that makes lane changes, merging, and reversing far less stressful.
Compact Towing Mirrors — from $785
Ever hooked up a load and watched half your rearward view disappear behind it? Compact Towing Mirrors solve that without turning your 4×4 into something you barely recognise. A single large convex mirror gives a wide field of view and extends up to 180mm when you’re towing, then retracts to a near-OEM footprint the rest of the time — and where your vehicle supports it, factory features carry across. Best for everyday drivers and work vehicles who tow regularly but still want a clean, practical mirror for the daily commute. As a full replacement mirror rather than a clip-on, it’s vehicle-specific, ADR approved, and legal in every state and territory.
Shop Compact Towing Mirrors
Next Gen Towing Mirrors — from $835
When you’re towing a big caravan or a large trailer, how much of what’s beside you can you actually see? Next Gen — Clearview’s flagship range — is built for exactly that question, pairing a flat top mirror with a convex lower one. That twin mirror design is what sets it apart, giving frequent tourers real confidence when merging, reversing, and judging traffic on both sides. Like every Clearview mirror range, it’s a full replacement mirror, vehicle-specific, ADR approved, and legal across Australia.
Shop Next Gen Towing Mirrors
Classic Towing Mirrors — from $529
Not every setup needs every bell and whistle — so why pay for extras you’ll never use? Classic tow mirrors keeps things deliberately simple: a proven dual mirror design in a black finish that delivers reliable towing visibility without the added feature complexity. It’s the value-focused choice, giving you the core benefit — a clear view down both sides of your load — at a more accessible price point. Best for drivers who tow and want a tough, functional mirror that just does the job well. It’s still a full replacement mirror, vehicle-specific, ADR approved, and legal in all states and territories.

Gifts for tourers. Upgrade their touring setup this Christmas. Consider how a well-built touring rig actually gets used. Climbing into the tray, reaching over gear, bending into a low fridge — it adds up over a long trip. The tourers who plan carefully tend to think about access as much as capacity, and that’s exactly where these products earn their place.
Clearview Easy Slide® — from $1,039
Why should reaching a cold drink at camp involve bending, straining, or a portable step? It shouldn’t. The Easy Slide® lowers your fridge up to 290mm with gas strut assistance, so the weight does the work rather than your back — handle up, fridge up; handle down, fridge down. A 180kg load rating handles a fully loaded fridge, it’s ADR compliant, and three sizes suit most setups and canopies. For the camper or tourer who’s quietly tired of the daily fridge wrestle, this is the upgrade they’d choose for themselves.
Shop the Easy Slide®
Clearview Power Slide® — from $2,049
What if fridge access came down to a single button? That’s the premise behind the Power Slide®, and it’s a genuinely luxurious one on a long trip. Its Tri Scissor Synchro-Lift keeps the fridge perfectly level as it raises and lowers, holding up to 180kg and tested past 10,000 movements — this is engineering built to outlast the adventures. Four sizes cover most fridges, and a 3-year warranty backs the investment. For the serious tourer who already has the gear, this is the gift that removes the last bit of effort entirely.
Shop the Power Slide®
Clearview® Pantry — $949
Consider how much of camp life revolves around meals — and how clumsy it gets with everything crammed in tubs. The Pantry brings order to that chaos with 74L of lockable storage, three stainless steel pull-out worktops, and a collapsible sink for clean-up. It fits the Easy Slide® ES-100+ and Expanda Slide®, folding out into a proper camp kitchen in seconds. A standout gift for someone building their setup for the long haul.

Clearview® Power Boards — from $1,649
How much effort goes into climbing in and out of a lifted 4×4, trip after trip? More than most people admit until their knees start keeping score. Power Boards retractable side steps lower up to 300mm the moment the door opens, then tuck away to protect your ground clearance when it closes. A 300kg load rating, IP68-rated motors, and an OEM fit with no new holes mean they’re built for real touring, not just showroom looks. Available through dealers for popular 4WD models — a considered gift for the person who’s stopped noticing how hard the small things have become.
Shop Power Boards
These are the upgrades experienced tourers often wish they’d fitted sooner. That makes them a thoughtful gift for the person who already has “everything.”
Gifts for 4WDers. What do you buy someone who already loves their 4WD?
We all know that one person who’s impossible to shop for — they already own the gear, and they have opinions about all of it. When you’re not sure exactly what they’d choose, our most trusted, most requested products are a safe bet.
When in doubt, give something built for the way they actually travel. Backed by 20 years of use across Australia, these are gifts made to work as hard as they do.
Sometimes the most appreciated upgrade is the one that makes daily driving a little better. For the person steadily improving their rig, these options deliver practical, everyday function.
Useful year-round, not just on the big trips. Isn’t that what a good gift should be?
Clearview Expanda Slide® — from $419
Why force a fridge into a slide that doesn’t quite fit? The Expanda Slide® flips that problem on its head with 81 possible tray dimensions, adjusting to your exact gear rather than the other way around. A 180kg load rating handles a fully loaded fridge, generator, or toolbox, and its adjustable footprint suits most canopies and vehicles. For the serious tourer or tradie, this is a genuinely considered upgrade.
Shop the Expanda Slide®
Clearview® Adjustable Fridge Cage — $499
A quality fridge is a serious investment, so why leave it exposed to loose gear shifting around the tray? This aluminium barrier protects it from knocks and dents while keeping vital airflow around the compressor. Adjustable in height and width, it adapts as fridges and setups change, and it lets you stack gear safely around the fridge instead of wasting that space. A smart gift for anyone who takes their touring rig seriously.

Check the fit – Many products are vehicle-specific, so confirm compatibility before you order.
Order before the cut-off – Beat the Christmas rush so it arrives in time for the holiday getaway.
The summer touring season and Christmas holidays arrive at the same time, and so does everyone else’s shopping. Leaving it late usually means missing the window — and missing the trip.
Order before our Christmas delivery cut-off to have your gift ready before the holidays begin.
How do I know if a product will fit their vehicle?
Many Clearview products, especially towing mirrors, Power Boards and Swing Boards, are designed for specific vehicles. Use the vehicle selector to check compatibility before you buy. If you can’t find their vehicle, you can submit a request.
Will it arrive before Christmas?
Order before our published Christmas cut-off date to allow for delivery in time. The earlier you order, the safer your timing.
Can I buy spare parts or support items as a gift?
Absolutely. For someone already using Clearview products, spare parts and support items are a genuinely practical present.
What if I’m not sure which product to choose?
Start with the section that matches how they travel. If you’re still unsure, our bestsellers and top picks are a reliable choice for most tourers and 4WD owners.
Are these gifts suitable for someone who already has a well-built rig?
Yes. Access upgrades like the Easy Slide® and Power Slide®, along with protective gear like Rock Tamers®, are often the additions experienced tourers haven’t got around to fitting yet.
What if they’d prefer to choose themselves?
Consider gifting the upgrade category they’ve been eyeing and letting them confirm the exact fit for their vehicle — practical and personal.
From towing mirrors to touring access, these are gifts built for drivers who take their travel seriously. Practical, considered, and made for the road ahead — the kind of present they’ll thank you for long after the wrapping’s gone.
