Father’s Day is the perfect time to show Dad how much you appreciate him, but finding gifts that he’ll actually use can sometimes be a challenge. However, from grilling tools and accessories to cooking gadgets and upgrades, there are plenty of great gifts that every camping-enthusiast father will appreciate. To help make your gift shopping easier this Father’s Day, RVT has compiled a list of the best gifts for Dad that are perfect for RVing grill masters. Let’s get started!
Portable Propane Grill
For starters, a portable propane BBQ grill is an essential item for any RVer who loves to cook on the go in their Class A motorhome, toy hauler, or other RV. Not only does it provide a convenient way to prepare meals away from home, but it’s also small enough to fit in most storage compartments and is perfect for quick backyard grilling. There are almost endless options when it comes to choosing a propane grill. There are wallet-friendly options for those just getting started, as well as pricier options for those who are more experienced and may want more upgraded and extensive features. Be prepared to research each model and learn more about it before deciding which will make the perfect gift for your dad.
Charcoal Grill
If you’re looking for something a bit more special, why not go all out with a top-of-the-line charcoal grill? Not only could Dad be able to achieve restaurant-quality results wherever he goes, but it’s also the perfect tool for slow-cooked meals that require plenty of time and patience. Be sure to choose something that is size-friendly for RVing adventures, and don’t forget to grab him some charcoal and other accessories to go with his new grill! In addition, be sure to double check that charcoal grilling is allowed wherever you intend to camp, especially in the heat of the summer with fire bans at their peak.
Grilling Utensils
For the grill master who wants to be prepared for any situation, a set of new and upgraded grilling utensils is the perfect gift. From spatulas and tongs to two-prong forks and skewers, having the right tools on hand will make outdoor cooking easier than ever before. Try to find a kit that rolls up nicely to account for the limited space that often comes with the RVing territory. When rolled up, many will easily fit into an apron pocket or in a kitchen drawer.
Grilling Apron
Speaking of aprons, a new, heat-proof grilling apron can also make for the perfect gift for dad! This can help to keep him from getting covered in charcoal dust, soot, and sauces, allowing him to maintain his style while enjoying grilling out. There are so many funny aprons available online, and there are even customizable options if there is something specific you’d like your dad’s apron to say.
Grill Cleaning Set
Another great gift for dad this Father’s Day is the essential grill cleaning set. This can include items such as specific wire brushes designed to fit different types of grills, or it could be something more extensive like a full-on power cleaner that will make any job easier. Choose an option that fits your dad’s RV lifestyle and his particular grilling needs. Some cleaning sets even come with a storage bag, making them ideal for packing up and taking on the go.
Grill Mats
Another trendy and popular grilling option are grill mats. These nifty tools could be the perfect addition to any outdoor cooking set-up, as they make cleaning up spills and splatters incredibly simple. They also come in various sizes, so you can be sure to find one that fits perfectly on the grill that Dad uses, especially if he has a smaller and more RV-friendly type of grill.
Seasonings and Sauces
Finally, no grilling experience would be complete without the right seasoning and sauces to bring out the flavor. From custom rubs and marinades to special BBQ sauces, Dad will appreciate having a variety of flavors at his fingertips. Be sure to look into getting a grill rub kit or some other type of portable option to make the experience even more RV-friendly.
No matter what gift you decide to get your dad this Father’s Day, it is sure to be appreciated. With so many great items out there that are perfect for RVers who love to grill, it could be a challenge to narrow down your options. But with the right research, you can surely find something that will make Dad smile and enjoy his grilling adventures even more! Happy Father’s Day!
