Last summer, before the spike in gas prices, DW and I bought a small 22-foot motorhome. We had a great time exploring some of Wisconsin's state parks and campgrounds!
Despite the jump in gas prices, we're eager to "hit the road" again soon. (Lucky for us, the motorhome is a diesel van conversion that gets good mileage.)
We're also looking forward to making more meals on wheels. As you know, DW and I really enjoy cooking together, and that's true even in the tiny kitchen of our motorhome. With a small refrigerator, a 2-burner propane stove and a microwave/convection oven, plus a portable charcoal grill outside, we can prepare just about any meal we might make at home.
On our very first overnight trip, we enjoyed a dinner of grilled marinated lamb chops, asparagus with seasoned butter sauce and rice pilaf. Of course, on subsequent trips we also enjoyed Spam and beans or canned chili.
We bought a set of durable dishes and flatware just for the motorhome kitchen. But on each trip, we took along some of our favorite heavy stainless steel cookware from home. It worked great, but cleanup and storage was a challenge—the skillet barely fits in the motorhome kitchen sink!
Over the winter, I ordered a set of small "nesting" cookware designed especially for camping. I figured it would save some space and be easier to use in the motorhome kitchen. But when it arrived, DW and I were disappointed—the two pots and two skillets are very small and pretty thin.
We'll try them on our first outing this year. But I have a feeling that we'll end up using our heavy stainless cookware again. Don't want to crowd the Spam and beans!
