These festive RV Christmas decorations will fill your RV with holiday cheer this Christmas without taking up too much storage space. Check out these 12 space-saving Christmas RV decor ideas.

1. Throw Pillow Covers as RV Christmas Decorations

Christmas pillow covers let you change the look of your bedroom or living area for every season but don’t take up too much storage space. You can get a standard-size 18×18 throw pillow and change the covers seasonally. (These also make great gifts for RV owners!)

You can get the throw pillow covers in the above photo here.

2. Evergreen Garland RV Christmas Decoration Ideas

Decorating every room in an RV with fresh evergreen boughs is one of our favorite Christmas RV decor ideas.

If you use real greenery (perhaps collected with permission from some woods near your campsite?), you don’t have to worry about storing it after Christmas, but if you don’t like how messy real evergreen garlands can be, there are some really nice evergreen garlands available on Amazon.

3. DIY Burlap Garland for Every Holiday

The ribbon on this garland from Etsy could be swapped with ribbon for other seasons so that you could leave it displayed year-round and never have to store it at all.

Garland made of ribbon can be great for around windows or slides, or for adding to the tree!

4. Chalkboard signs (easy Christmas RV decor)

We love the tiny Christmas tree-shaped chalk board in this fifth wheel!

If you have a rectangular chalkboard sign, you could draw a picture or write a message for every holiday!  If you’re not the artsy type, you can follow this tutorial to transfer a printed image to a chalkboard sign.

Or, if you don’t want to mess with chalk at all, you can get the look by just printing a chalkboard sign to frame, like this set of signs for every holiday.

5. Cute Holiday Signs

Easy to set on a shelf or mount on a wall, a sign takes up only a little space! We often see these at Dollar Tree and other dollar stores.

I love the idea of reversible wood signs like these two from Etsy as decor that works for multiple holidays.

6. One-time use RV Christmas Decorations

Like the evergreen garlands we mentioned earlier, string garlands made from disposable items such as candy canes, popcorn, cranberries, cinnamon sticks, dried oranges, and pine cones can be used once as Christmas RV decorations and then tossed so that you don’t have to store them.

Poinsettias could also be a one-time use decor, though you could keep it alive and replant it.

7. RV Christmas Decor for Outside: Holiday Light Projector

A light projector like this one can cover an entire RV with moving LED designs for multiple holidays.  It’s operated with a remote control and not much bigger than a softball. (Just be sure you don’t point it toward the sky, as it can be disruptive to airplane pilots.)

You can choose different festival slides or water wave effect only, or combine patterns with ocean wave, more choice for you to create atmosphere you want.

8. Mason Jar Candles for Every Holiday

We love RV Christmas decorations that can work for every season, like this idea from RV owner Julie of using a Mason jar as a candle holder and changing the ribbon to match every holiday.  If you’re worried about fire safety, a remote-operated, battery-powered flameless votive candle looks cute too.

9. Tiny Christmas Tree as Christmas RV Decor

A tiny Christmas tree like the one below would be so cute as RV Christmas decor! You can easily recreate this look by sticking a real or artificial pine branch into a tin can filled with grave.

10. Retro Christmas Lights

A string of retro-style Christmas lights draped along a slide out or attached to the ceiling is sure to put a smile on your face.

11. Festive Curtains


Another RV Christmas decoration idea that doesn’t take up much space is to swap out your RV curtains with holiday-patterned curtains. (Learn how to replace your factory-original RV window treatments with curtains here: 44 Ideas for New RV Window Treatments)

12. Window decorations – Christmas decor for RV owners with NO space to spare!

You can have a white Christmas anywhere with snowflake window decals! Window decals are Christmas decorations RV owners with no extra space can find room for! Or, for an alternative to decals, try using aerosol spray snow to stencil windows with snowflakes, like the owner of this RV did:
