The RV Art Gallery has added leather belt buckles to their collection of unique gift items celebrating the RV Lifestyle. Gift items that celebrate the Fifth Wheel are hard to find; this buckle is a response for those seeking something unique and interesting.
Crafted by leather artist Becky Dawson, the buckles are individually carved, stamped, painted, and sealed with leather wax to brighten and protect the design. The buckle can fit up to a 1 1/2 inch wide belt.
The buckles come in three varieties: the canned ham travel trailer, vintage silver trailer, and fifth wheel.
The travel trailer recalls the “Canned Ham” trailer of the 50’s.
The vintage silver trailer evokes memories of the Airstream, Spartan, Silver Streak, or Avion brand of aluminum clad travel trailers.
This travel trailer doll house turned out to a fun project for the staff at the RV Art Gallery. The kit includes wood parts for the body, wheels, front stand, table and chairs! We took a trip to our local craft and hobby store, where we found an ample supply and choices for wall paper, flooring, paint, brushes, wood putty, glue, etc.
Whether you are a skilled craft person or a beginner the kit will engage you in hours of focused assembly.
The top and back are open, so doll house play is a definite possibility.
The dimensions are 23″ W x 8″ D x 9″ H (plus 5 ½” hitch).
The RV Art Gallery created a new page on their web site devoted exclusively to fifth wheel art and gifts.
“We know that the fifth wheel has become a more popular RVing choice than ever before. However, gift items featuring the fifth wheel are small in number when compared to vintage travel trailers and motorhomes.”, says Jerry Bergman, General Manager of the RV Art Gallery.
“We decided to create a page specifically of fifth wheel items to make it easier for fifth wheel RV’ers to find them.”
One of the most popular fifth wheel gifts has been a fifth wheel photo frame, and a fifth wheel charm.
Motorhome art and gifts for the RV’er are a hard to find item. Visit the RV Art Gallery to find both! Whether it is a motorhome art print, a motorhome Christmas ornament, or even motorhome dominoes, those celebrating the rv lifestyle will find motorhome art and gifts of imagination and style!
The RV Art Gallery is well stocked with Christmas gifts for RV’ers.
Some of the most popular items this year are the RV Christmas ornaments, and photo frames. Jerry Bergman, General Manager says, “RV’ers are liking many of our gifts, we sold out of a popular throw pillow. We still have a limited number of these Vegas inspired RV Throw Pillows.”
Strong sales are expected to continue on into 2010 as many new items will be restocked next year.
