Give dad the ultimate outdoors fridge with this Dometic fridge and freezer with a built-in ice maker. Dometic is the ultimate brand when it comes to RVing and camping refrigerators. They make several different sizes with a wide variety of features, including full size RV refrigerators. This particular model pictured here is perfect for the overlanding, van life or RV dad who likes to get a little off-grid. It’s portable, versatile and can be set to different temperatures so you can use it both as a fridge and a freezer. An extra bonus: it can make ice too!

Inflatable Kayak
If your RV dad is a fisherman or love shis time outside, check out these inflatable kayaks. Space is tight in an RV, so RVers often have to be highly conscious of the amount of toys they bring along on their travels! But since these can be deflated for storage and re-inflated in just a few minutes, they’re perfect RV gifts for dad. While these inflatable kayaks usually run around $150, they’re on sale leading up to fathers day for just $90!
Garmin GPS Watch
For the RV dad who is active and loves spending time outdoors, this Garmin outdoor watch with GPS is a great gift. This watch features a compass, a heart rate monitor, an altitude tracker and 3 different global satellite navigation systems. And it all connects to an app on your smart phone! Perfect for the dad who loves trail running, hiking, hunting or biking. Of course, the Apple Watch or the Fitbit also make great RV gifts for dad. The best part? This regularly $250 watch is on sale for just $161 leading up to Father’s Day!
Amazon Kindle
For the RV dad who loves to read, gift him an Amazon Kindle. RVs don’t have much space for a collection of paper books, so a Kindle is a great way for dad to read as much as he wants without taking up space in his rig. This $90 Kindle is on sale for just $60 right now and will allow dad to do all the reading he wants in his camping chair underneath his RV awning.

Easier RV parking = less grumpy family arriving to the campsite. It’s a win for everyone!
RV Tool Bag
Every RV dad needs an RV toolkit! If there’s one thing RVers know about RV life, it’s that you have to be prepared for anything. That’s why having a tool kit on hand is essential for your RV trips. This Carhartt tool bag allows dad to store his tools in a way that’s both ultra cool and easy to access if anything goes wrong. Bonus tip, fill the tool bag with all of his favorite tools or even a pair of cowhide leather work gloves.
