With Father’s Day fast approaching, it’s that time of year again when we start to think about gift ideas for our RV loving Dads. Father’s Day shopping is notoriously difficult, right? I mean, there are only so many personalised mugs one dad can own. We get it.
To take the pressure off, we’ve compiled a list of Father’s Day gift ideas for all the RV Dads out there that might just win you the child of the year award (you’re welcome). Go on, take a browse.
Wacaco MiniPresso GR
If your dad is anything like mine, he loves a good coffee. While I personally love brewing with the Bellman Espresso and Steamer, I don’t think my old man has the patience with its technicality. Another great option – perhaps even better when you’re travelling – is the Wacaco MiniPresso GR. This nifty hand-held device can pump out a silky espresso in just a couple of minutes. All you need to get brewing is 70ml of boiling water and the rest is literally in your hands. If your RV Dad is impatient, enjoys a good brew and is often found somewhere campervanning off-grid, you’ll be hitting the jackpot with this gift idea. Hello, brownie points!
Cost: $70.00 AUD
Outdoor Connection King Rocker Chair
After a long drive or a day of enjoying the outdoors, there’s nothing better than sitting back in a comfortable chair. When it comes to gift ideas for relaxation, the Outdoor Connection King Rocker Chair tops the charts for RV Dads. While it doesn’t have to be a rocker (you can easily adjust the set-up), it certainly adds a whole lot of comfort. Dads will love the drinks holder on the right and the drinks cooler on the left. Combined with a high back, 600D fabric padded cover and compact folding, it’s a no-brainer for any man that loves a good chair. A review actually said: “Best purchase ever. If you have a Dad bod and camp half the year, this chair is a must-have piece of gear.” I think that says it all.
Cost: $119.95 AUD
Foam Core Pillow
There’s nowhere that needs more comfort-planning than your bed, especially in your RV. Sea To Summit’s Foam Core Pillow offers the best of both worlds. It compacts into an easy-to-store roll and is as luxurious as any pillow found at home. With 50D stretch-knit fabric, it’s super soft to touch, while the inner layer’s up-cycled foam (from Sea to Summit’s self-inflating mats) creates the ultimate comfort.
Cost: $42.99 AUD
Tasco Essentials Binoculars
If your Dad is into campervanning, there’s no doubt he loves the outdoors. Give him the tools to experience nature that little bit closer with a pair of binoculars. Whether at a campsite, taking a scenic drive, fishing at a beautiful lake or walking through a national park, there’s so much more than meets the naked eye out there. Binoculars can be expensive, but Tasco Essential’s 10×25 is a great affordable gift idea for everyday use. Compact, lightweight and with impressive optics, these may well become your RV Dad’s favourite road trip accessory.
Cost: $39.99 AUD
Kings Premium Stainless Steel Folding Firepit
Forget those flimsy firepits. Adventure Kings have done us all a favour and created a superior stainless steel folding firepit that packs up just as easily as it warms your hands. Its smart folding design allows you to pack it up completely flat, taking up little to no room in your RV. But that’s not the only savvy thing about it. The design, which ensures the fire is well and truly off the ground, adds safety and versatility.
Started a campfire in the wrong place? No worries – you can pick it up and carry it while the fire burns. It also conserves firewood, which equals time, effort and money. Finally, my favourite feature is the option to add a firepit grill. Outdoor BBQ here we come.
Cost: $129.00 AUD
Weisshorn Metal Detector
Once a niche hobby, combing has boomed in the last few years. It’s incredibly relaxing and with over 12,000 beaches across Australia and an abundance of land, it’s not like we’re short of beautiful locations to explore. If you think your Dad could do with a new hobby, start with the affordable Weisshorn detector which prides itself on precision and accuracy. Your old man can read the easy-to-digest data from the LCD display screen or opt to listen in via the included headphones. Finally, there’s no need to worry about water. The search coil is completely waterproof so he can even search underwater. Cool, right?
Cost: $103.95 AUD
Hydro Flask Beer Growler
Look, I don’t want to stereotype here, but 98% of Dads I know love a good beer. Do you know what makes beer taste extra good? Drinking it next to your RV at an epic campsite. In addition to their popular water bottles, Hydro Flask has been smart enough to enter the beer game with their 64oz Beer Growler – the first stainless steel growler on the market. Boasting TempShield insulation, BPA and Phthalate-Free materials and an easy-to-carry handle, loading the RV with the good stuff doesn’t get any easier. It might sound a little expensive for a flask, but it’s bound to last a lifetime. For a cheaper option, grab their 16oz True Pint.
Cost: $99.95 AUD
