5 products that will change your camp kitchen for the better

You’ve parked your RV or pitched your tent, and you’re setting up your camp kitchen as the evening approaches. Cooking up a storm at camp isn’t always easy, especially when you don’t have all the comforts from home. But there are a few things that will make it easier and more enjoyable.

Here are five super cool things that will make cooking in your outdoor camp kitchen way more enjoyable. They’re tried and tested, handy and will change your camp kitchen for the better.

Off Trak Wines

Okay, so you may not end up cooking with it, but you can drink it while you’re cooking. Off Trak Wines are a simple concept – high-quality wine in packaging that is practical for outdoor adventures. With two glasses of wine in every can, these cans are designed to travel. Each 12-pack is equivalent to 4 bottles of wine but weighs only 3.2kg. This is around 30% lighter than the bottles, and once the cans are empty, they’re 90% lighter. 

In terms of space, each 12-pack takes up only slightly more space than a single wine bottle would, making it a heck of a lot easier to fit in your camping fridge. To top it off, because they’re in a can, you can recycle them and collect your 10 cents (depending on what state you’re in), and according to Off Trak Wines, they chill quicker than a bottle.

Off Trak Wines comes in six different varieties:

• The Outback is Calling – Bubbly Red Wine 
• The River is Calling – Bubbly White Wine 
• The Island is Calling – Frizzante White Wine 
• The Desert is Calling – White Wine 
• The Ocean is Calling – Rosé Wine 
• The Mountains are Calling – Red Wine

A fridge with a ‘beer and wine’ button

That reminds me, since we’re on the subject of chilling wine, The Engel 60th Anniversary 40L fridge/freezer has a ‘beer button’ that works just as well for wine. No, sadly, it doesn’t pass you a beer or wine when you press the button, but it does set your fridge to the perfect chill temperature of 3 degrees Celcius.

Novelty button aside, the Engel 60th Anniversary 40L fridge/freezer is actually a really good portable fridge. Not only is it the first Engel fridge that can be controlled with an app via Bluetooth, but it looks great and still features the same Sawafuji Swing Motor that ensures the lowest maximum draw of any 12V fridge compressor worldwide. 

A fridge slide that will save your marriage and extra bench space

So you now have a brand spanking new fridge but … you’re not tall enough to see in the top of it. There’s an easy solution to that, it’s a Clearview Easy Slide. When I say this fridge slide is a marriage saver, I’m not joking. You can read all about it below or watch our video review.

Basically, it does this neat magic trick whereby with the pull of a handle, the fridge drops down over the side or back of your vehicle and it’s now at a usable height for everyone. 

While the fridge is open, you might as well make a few sandwiches right? You’ll need some extra bench space for that. Try this Clip On Tray that attaches to your fridge slide. It holds up to 15kg, so it’s more than sturdy enough to handle all your bits and pieces while you’re rustling up some lunch. 

A portable BBQ

Popular with campers and RVers due to its compact BBQ footprint and portability, you can’t go past a Ziggy. Despite its portable size, the high dome of the roasting hood ensures you can fit a decent-sized roast in there as well. The same hood rolls back right under the BBQ and locks in place, making it easy and compact to carry and store. 

Of interest with a Ziggy BBQ is the 7-year comprehensive warranty. Not many products these days offer that level of confidence!

Armour for your paper towel

There aren’t many of us who haven’t left a roll of Handee or Viva out near the BBQ overnight. Nor are there many of us who haven’t chucked a roll of paper towel in a camper drawer or RV cupboard, only to find it soggy and kind of wilted the next time you pull it out. This is where the Paperpod comes in. Made by the same crew that bought us the Dunny Buddy, this protective case for your paper towel will keep it dry and safe from the elements. There’s even a handy storage space in the middle of the dispenser for small personal items. 

Like the Dunny Buddy, the Paperpod is 100% designed, engineered, manufactured and packaged in Melbourne. Paperpod has the flexibility of being used outdoors when you’re on the road or kicking around the barbecue but is equally at home in the kitchen.
