You need a fireless cooker! Also called a hay box. You only have to get the food to a full boil and place in cooker to finish up. You can make it yourself. Lots of ideas online.

I hear ya! I am a full time RVer. My Husband and I are in our 40's and decided to abandon the rat race and sold the house and everything in it and moved into a travel trailer 2 years ago. Normally we travel with the seasons and go North in the summer and South in the winter. Due to the cost of fuel we have decided to stay in south Texas year round for awhile. (Yes, it is VERY hot!). We are too young to take retirement income so we have to work and have found employment as gate guards for oil rigs. The challange I have to cooking is that using the oven or the stove very much raises the inside temp of the trailer to an unbearable level so I am working and thinking of cool things to make for supper every day. This is further complicated because my husband is on blood thinners due to a recent blood clot in his leg and cannot eat things high in Vitamin K which includes most veggies so things like salads and stuff are out. I have been making potatoe and pasta salads early in the morning and letting them chill in the refer until it is time to eat. By adding things like chicken or sausage or eggs, these become full meals and are quite good. I use a lot of small cast iron cookware that I find in specialty shops or at stores like Sportsman's Warehouse and meant for open fire cooking. They work great and come in a variety of sizes and are easy to store. We love RVing and wouldn't think of stopping! Have fun and Hit the Road!

My DH and I used to have a Tioga and I also had a separate set of dishes and cookware for the motorhome. One of the best purchases was a West Bend Slow Cooker. I could prepare a beef roast, make gravy and slice the beef in advance then just reheat as we traveled or when we stopped. The slow cooker pot fit in the motorhome's small sink.

We sold "Lady Ti" and bought a modular home on 40 acres up north and plan to retire there in a few years. I just shifted the dishes, pots and pans from Lady Ti to up north. I guess I'll have a good rumage sale when we leave Milw and blend both households.

Now with the price of gas it would be limited travel. We got about 10 mpg (13 mpg with a tail wind one time)

Hey! thanks for doing what you have done for us here. I know you had to put in mega hours doing this! I think you did a great job, and the new board is pretty cool :) I loved going through the videos and recipes on the main page, I learned a lot !

The board is a little slow, even with high speed, but I'm sure that will be resolved soon. Thank you so much for this great new place! I love it!
