The 2026 RV.com Father’s Day Gift Guide

With Father’s Day just around the corner, it’s time for our annual roundup of the best gifts for the RVing dad in your life. Here are our picks of the things that he not only needs, but wants, with some great options for making life on the road and at the campsite better. 

Travoca Rigel Plus eCooler

There are a lot of powered coolers to choose from these days, but we happen to be big fans of the models from Travoca. The company’s latest is the Rigel Plus, which offers all of the same features and capabilities of the original Rigel, but upgraded with some new enhancements. Those include a built-in Molle board for versatile storage and an attachable side shelf that provides loads of functionality. The cooler itself offers dual climate zones, each of which can maintain a temperature between -4ºF to 50ºF, keeping food fresh and drinks cold without the need for ice. The Rigel Plus is available in 35L, 45L, and 60L variants, with pricing starting at $829.99 at travoca.com. 

NOCO Boost X GBX155

The NOCO Boost X GBX155 ensures you’ll never be stranded with a dead battery again. The device is equipped with a powerful lithium-ion power cell that allows it to jumpstart vehicles with up to a 10L gas or 8L diesel engine completely on its own. That makes it perfect for RVers and overlanders who like to wander off the beaten path from time to time. It also comes with a built-in lantern that produces 500 lumens of light and two USB-A and one USB-C port for recharging portable devices on the go. Read our full review here. MSRP: $369.95 at no.co

Bluetti Elite 300 Power Station

Portable power stations continue to evolve at a rapid pace, delivering more capacity and versatility than ever before. Case in point, the Bluetti Elite 300 is the smallest 3kWh model on the market, offering up to 2400W of output in a compact and relatively lightweight form factor. This unit includes plenty of charging ports, including multipole 120V AC outlets, USB-A and USB-C ports, and more importantly a TT-30 port that plugs directly into an RV. The device can run interior lighting in a motorhome or travel trailer for up to 68 hours and recharge a laptop more than 30 times. It can even recharge itself in the field from a standard wall outlet, solar panels, or a vehicle alternator. In other words, if your dad needs power on the go, this will keep him up and running. $1,199 at the Bluetti website. 

Power Watchdog Gen II Surge Protector

RVers can take much of the risk of plugging into a campground power outlet out of the equation with this portable surge protector. The second-generation Power Watchdog is smarter and more reliable than ever, offering improved protection from the elements, onboard WiFi for remote monitoring, and a lockable design that keeps it safe and secure at all times. It also keeps the RV well protected from unexpected power surges, changes in voltage and amperage, and more. It even has a replaceable surge module that prevents the device from being damaged, preventing the entire unit from having to be replaced. $399.99 at Camping World. 

Rhino Macerator Pump Kit

Ask any RVer what the worst part of camping in an RV is, and they’ll probably tell you that it’s emptying the black tank. This handy little device smooths out that process by attaching to the sewer outlet and using a macerator pump to soften the particles for easy dumping. The pump is self-priming and very quiet, ensuring it doesn’t disturb any other campers. The kit includes everything you need—including a 4-in-1 outlet adapter, a 15′ water hose, 30′ power cord, and more. $220 at Camping World. 

Custom Yeti Drinkware

Yeti’s line of water bottles, tumblers, and other drinkware are durable, good-looking, and can keep beverages cold for hours at a time. But did you know that you can also customize them for free? When ordering from the Yeti website, you can elect to add the logo of a favorite sports team, add a phrase or name, or even come up with your own design and upload it to be embossed on the bottle. This extra bit of customization makes those products great options for Dad. He’ll love a gift that is specifically made for him in mind. Check out all of the options at Yeti.com. Pricing varies depending on the item with bottles starting at $32.

Nestout Portable Solar Charger V2

If your dad is a gadget lover, chances are he’s always looking for a way to keep his devices charged and working, especially in the outdoors. The new Nestout Portable Solar Charger V2 solves that problem using integrated solar panels and two USB charging ports (one USB-C and one USB-A) to provide power anywhere you can find some sunshine. Foldable and highly portable, the charger is available in two- and four-solar panel models and includes a storage pocket for stashing cables and batteries and a convenient hanging loop. MSRP: $89.99 (two-panel) or $129.99 (four-panel) at nestout.com.

Venture Forward Comfort Cloud XL Camp Chair

Relaxing around the campsite has never been easier thanks to this large, plush, and extra comfy camp chair. A thickly padded back and seat make it easy to kick back and enjoy the outdoors, while dual cupholders ensure dad’s favorite beverage is always close at hand. Durable fabrics make this a rugged option specifically made for the outdoors, while a hand-stow bag makes for easy transport and storage. You’d better buy two, because dad isn’t going to want to share. $59.99 at Camping World. 

Outdoor Research Timberline Utility Shorts

Perfect for long days on the trail, exploring around town, or just lounging at home, the Timberline Utility Short from Outdoor Research is a great option for active dads. Made from durable fabrics designed to stretch and move with the wearer, the materials feature a DWR finish and offer UPF 50+ protection from the sun. And of course, there are plenty of pockets so your dad can bring all of his favorite gear along for the journey. $100 at outdoorresearch.com. 

Sherpa Adventure Gear Daha Long Sleeve Shirt

Even dads can look effortlessly cool in this lightweight and comfortable travel shirt. Made from fully recycled fabrics that are breathable and moisture-wicking, the Daha is equally at home on the trail as it is at a dinner party. With classic good looks, faux wood buttons, and a form-fitting design, this will quickly become a new favorite in your dad’s closet, both while at home and on the road. $85 from Sherpa Adventure Gear. 

Leatherman Wave Plus Multitool

This gift puts an entire toolbox in your dad’s pocket, squeezing 18 distinct tools into one. Those include several knife blades, scissors, wire cutter, a bottle opener, ruler, and more. Available in black or silver, the Wave Plus is made from rugged stainless steel that can survive regular use at the jobsite, in the outdoors, or around home. Smartly designed with tools that can be accessed from the outside, and backed by a 25-year warranty, this is the perfect gift for any dad who loves to tinker and fix things. $129.95 at leatherman.com.

VGY Classic RV Model Set

RVing dads and fans of the show Breaking Bad will love this RV model kit that uses Lego-like bricks to assemble a vintage Class A motorhome. In addition to coming with all the parts necessary to assemble the camper, the kit also includes a range of accessories like a set of tools, a grill, and two camp chairs. The roof of the vehicle can even be removed, allowing access to the interior, which contains a number of furnishings straight from the show. The assembled set makes for a great conversation piece and looks good on a desk or shelf. MSRP: $54.99 at Walmart..
