Covid-19 has altered virtually every aspect of life — with the uncertainty of border closures and unexpected lockdowns wreaking havoc on lavish getaway plans. But that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on enjoying a bit (or a lot) of travel during your retirement, with caravanning fast becoming the most popular way to explore your state or territory’s beautiful scenery and towns.

Whether you are cruising off into the sunset to spend your days by the beach, or making your way up the Aussie alps, we have compiled a few amazing products that will ensure your life on the road is as easy and mess-free as possible.

Automatic Mini Electric Chopper and Portable Mini Food Processor

This speedy little food chopper is a must-have for your caravan kitchen. It’s perfect for chopping vegetables quickly, without mess or fuss, and it sneakily doubles as a food processor, making it the best option for those who enjoy cooking and don’t want to compromise on taste while out on the road. Its compact size and easy-clean finish means it doesn’t take up unnecessary space on your bench, nor your drying rack.

With one press of a button, you can be chopping, mincing, grinding and shredding in seconds. This automatic mini electric chopper and portable mini food processor also comes in three great colours: green, pink and white (pictured below).

4-Blade Portable Blender Handy Powerful and Colourful

This four-blade portable blender is the best option for those who enjoy breakfast smoothies or sunset cocktails but have limited space – taking up only eight square centimetres of space on the bench or in drawers. It features four sharp, durable, stainless-steel blades and is available in four sweet shades: pink, green, purple and blue. Strawberry daiquiri anyone?
