Wondering which portable appliances you need for an RV camper? We know the most essential appliances for easy living wherever you roam. Have a look! 

<p>There's nothing like camping in the great outdoors. But, we know some people aren't keen on completely giving up their modern living. So, if that's you, we'll show you how to bring bits of your home life to the woods &mdash; with the right portable appliances!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Because space is limited, you must carefully consider your cooking and lifestyle needs before picking which appliances to bring on your next camping trip, so you don't have to rely on just junk food. But out of all your choices, these six appliances should always be on your "must-have" list!" or something.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Portable Grills</h2>
<p></p>
<p>A grill should be at the top of your camping list for a variety of reasons. In hotter months or regions, not overheating your rig with the oven or stove reduces the strain on your air conditioner and lowers the power demand on your batteries. You'll reduce your chances of being stranded in the middle of the woods!</p>
<p></p>
<p>You can find them in various styles like tabletop models with single propane burners, gas grills, smokers, charcoal grills, sun-powered cookers, and electric grills. Bring along the type and style that best matches your family and your favorite grillable foods.</p>

<h2>Portable Induction Cooktop</h2>
<p></p>
<p>An induction cooktop is a great choice when traveling, especially if you prefer a simpler cooking solution. Induction cooktops deliver immediate heat for food preparation that is both safe and quick. Compared to conventional electric and gas stoves, this approach uses up to 70% less energy.</p>
<p></p>
<p>And since there isn't a flame &ndash; these burners are safe to use in most environments, so you get the chance to cook in nature and leave it as you found it. They require induction-compatible cookware, so make sure you grab the right pots and pans before you go! Simply stick a magnet to the cookware. If the magnet stick, then you're good to start cooking.</p>

<h2>Portable Washer and Dryer</h2>
<p></p>
<p>Depending on how long you plan on staying at your campsite, a portable washer and dryer is a great appliance to have at the ready. They're typically small in size but will surely come in handy after a day of hiking, swimming, or if you seem to have not packed enough clothes. You'll find all-in-one style models that double as your washer and your dryer and separate designs if all you want to bring is just a washer.</p>
<p><img alt="dishes drying in the sun" height="400" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q2_2022/App_must-have-camper-appliances_3.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<h2>Portable Dishwasher</h2>
<p></p>
<p>Although a portable dishwasher is not a typical RV appliance, it can be a useful addition if you plan to do a lot of cooking. The first thing to think about is if you have enough space and water to accommodate it and wastewater storage capacity. But if you have suitable water storage, these dishwashers will take care of the dishes, allowing you to spend more time outdoors. In comparison to hand-washing, it also uses relatively little water, is energy efficient, and can limit your need for plastic plates.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Space Heater</h2>
<p></p>
<p>Cold nights can be excruciating when camping &mdash; unless you have a space heater. A space heater is all you need to stay warm and cozy, no matter what type of cold temps you face. Ceramic heaters are compact and portable, and they provide a lot of heat for their size. While oil heaters take a little longer to heat up, they can hold heat for a long time and is energy efficient.</p>

<h2>Dehumidifier</h2>
<p></p>
<p>If you plan on camping in a humid area, carry a dehumidifier with you to make your camper more comfortable. In humid climates, the small space of an RV can make the humidity feel unbearable, especially while you're cooking or showering. Add in rain days or hot, muggy weather that can cause mildew and mold growth, too much humidity can really ruin your camping trip. But with a dehumidifier, you can keep everything nice and comfortable, no matter where you travel.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Portable appliances are so much more than just handy gadgets.  They use technology and clever design to keep meal prep and cleanup to a minimum while maximizing your comfort and outdoor fun.</p>

5 "Must Have" Appliances for RV Camping [+1 Bonus!] 

To make sure you get dad something he’ll love this year, check out the top cooking accessories and appliances we recommend getting him for Father’s Day.

<p>Father&rsquo;s Day is creeping up on us quickly, and we all know we haven&rsquo;t gotten our dad a gift yet. Dads always seem to be the hardest to shop for even when you know they&rsquo;ll be happy with whatever you get them. And when it comes to dads, it seems like they all have their own &ldquo;thing.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Maybe they're into golf and spending weekends on the green, maybe they have a deep appreciation for the fine arts, or maybe they love to get down in the kitchen. Even if your dad isn&rsquo;t a culinary aficionado, the options are nearly endless for gifts for dads who love to cook (or just enjoy food), but some rise above the rest.</p>
<p>To make sure you get your dad something he&rsquo;ll love and actually use (not like those ties from years past), check out the top cooking appliances and accessories we recommend getting your dad for Father&rsquo;s Day this year.</p>
<h2><strong></strong><strong>Start His Day Off Right</strong></h2>
<p>In order to have a successful and fun-filled Father&rsquo;s Day, you&rsquo;ll need to fuel up for the day ahead. And there aren&rsquo;t many better combinations in the morning than a fresh, hot cup of coffee accompanied by stacks of warm, fluffy waffles.</p>
<p><img alt="Coffee being poured into cup with breakfast in the background. " src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Fathers-Day-breakfast.jpg" title="yipengge" width="700" /></p>
<p>Chances are, your dad probably already has a coffee maker, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean his current setup couldn&rsquo;t use an upgrade. Getting your dad a new coffee or espresso maker will be sure to brighten up his special day, and as an added bonus, having a new coffee maker is a great way for him to keep up with his busy schedule.</p>
<p>And to perfectly complement his new and improved cup of joe, how about some delicious waffles from a new waffle maker to top off breakfast? Waffle irons are a fantastic gift idea for dad because, like the coffee maker, he can continue to use it for much longer than just Father&rsquo;s Day &ndash; plus, who doesn&rsquo;t love a good waffle?</p>
<p>For an additional Father&rsquo;s Day touch, you could even offer to give dad the day off from the kitchen and make the waffles yourself. Who knows, you could potentially start a whole new tradition!</p>
<h2><strong>Fast-Cooking Kitchen Appliances</strong></h2>
<p>Most dads have their hands full as it is on a regular basis, plus if they&rsquo;re constantly in the kitchen, they barely have any time for themselves at the end of the day. If your dad loves whipping up scrumptious meals night after night but would love to save a ton of time in the process, getting him an air fryer or pressure cooker for Father&rsquo;s Day could really make a difference.</p>
<p><img alt="Man using tongs while cooking with air fryer. "  src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Fathers-Day-cook.jpg" title="Complexio" width="700" /></p>
<p>An air fryer or pressure cooker will help your dad create tasty meals on a nightly basis, but in half the time! That way, instead of being stuck in the kitchen for extended periods of time, he can spend more quality time hanging out with you and the family.</p>
<h2><strong></strong><strong>Cutlery</strong></h2>
<p>If&nbsp;your dad loves to cook, he knows how important proper cutlery is when creating delicious entrees. The right set of knives is an essential ingredient in any kitchen, and your dad ought to have a high-quality set so that he can continue to cook you and the family up flavorful meals time and time again.</p>
<p><img alt="New knife set displayed in kitchen." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Fathers-Day-knife.jpg" title="adventtr" width="700" /></p>
<p>A new set of kitchen knives makes for a great Father&rsquo;s Day gift because they will easily last for several years (if not longer), and will offer countless uses around the kitchen. We know shopping for dad can sometimes be frustrating, but if you&rsquo;re ever in doubt, he&rsquo;ll always be grateful for an exceptional set of knives to assist him in whipping you and the family up some grub.</p>
<h2><strong></strong><strong>Outdoor Accessories</strong></h2>
<p>With Father&rsquo;s Day taking place near the start of summer on June 20<sup>th</sup>, there&rsquo;s probably a solid chance you&rsquo;ll be outside at some point celebrating dad&rsquo;s big day. If your dad isn&rsquo;t manning the grill, we hope he&rsquo;s relaxing in a chair with his feet up and maybe even a cold drink in his hand.</p>
<p>If he&rsquo;s looking for the best solution to keep his drinks cold throughout the day, an insulated cooler makes for a perfect Father&rsquo;s Day gift. Insulated coolers are extremely popular (especially in the summertime) and are guaranteed to keep all of his drinks cold for sometimes longer than 24 hours!</p>
<p>To add to the overall relaxation, getting your dad a new piece of outdoor furniture or accessory could also make his day even more blissful. From adding some new chairs, potentially a new bar setup, or even something a little more extravagant like a fire pit, new outdoor accessories like these could really make his day. Plus, you would create something for him to fondly look back on as he relaxes in the yard for years to come.</p>
<p><img alt="Young family having a barbecue party in their backyard." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Fathers-Day-outdoor.jpg" title="AleksandarNakic" width="700" /></p>
<p><strong></strong>Even though they don&rsquo;t intentionally make it difficult, getting dad the perfect Father&rsquo;s Day gift can sometimes seem like the most daunting of tasks. It&rsquo;s hard to get a gift that expresses how much we truly care and appreciate them, so at the end of the day, it&rsquo;s all about making them feel as happy and loved as possible.</p>
