Best Beanies for RV Living in Cold Climates

Cozy Essentials for Life on the Road

RV living comes with its own kind of magic—quiet mornings, spontaneous adventures, and the kind of simple moments that stay with you forever. But if you’ve ever stepped outside your rig on a chilly morning in Colorado… or tried to sip hot coffee during a drafty sunrise in Utah… you know cold weather hits differently in an RV.

Good news? One of the smallest, coziest, most packable essentials you can have on hand is a really great beanie.

Whether you travel full-time, part-time, or just love winter camping, here are the best beanies for RV living in cold climates—and why they’re a must-have for every traveler who wants to stay warm without cranking the propane heat.

Why Beanies Are a Game-Changer for RV Living

RV life is all about simple items that do a lot. That’s exactly why beanies end up being one of the most-used accessories in colder seasons when we traveled.

Here’s why they’re perfect for rig life:

1. They’re compact and clutter-free

Minimal storage? No problem. A beanie takes up almost zero space and fits effortlessly into your glovebox, jacket pocket, or entry basket. Even our chunkier Puff Stitch Slouch hat rolls up into a fanny pack great!

2. They save propane

A warm head means you can stay cozy without blasting the furnace all morning. (We learned this the hard way.)

3. They’re versatile for every adventure

Cold hikes, early hookup mornings, campfire nights, windy beach days… a beanie keeps you warm and photo-ready.

4. Perfect for kids and partners

Kids who don’t want coats? Put a beanie on them.
Partner who’s always cold? Beanie.
You need a quick fix for unpredictable weather? Beanie.

Small item, big comfort.

What to Look for in a Beanie for RV Travel

Warm, insulating yarn

Wool blends and cozy acrylics keep heat in without feeling itchy.

Stretchy but snug fit

Cold air sneaks in around loose edges—knit pom beanies stay put.

Easy to wash

RV life = dirt, campfire smoke, outdoor everything. Look for beanies that hold up to regular washing.

Handmade or high-quality construction

Handcrafted styles often last longer and feel better on the head—especially for daily wear.

Cozy Gear Makes RV Living Better

If you love:

  • slow mornings,

  • exploring new places,

  • sitting by the campfire,
