Planning an RV getaway? Here are some food and cooking-related tips when traveling by RV:
Stuff Moves Around - A Lot
Anything
not shut in a cabinet or tied or weighted down might slide, fall, or
roll from one end of the vehicle to the other. This can be annoying or
dangerous, as things can break or take flight, distracting the driver.
So, contain your food: pack edibles in baskets and cartons instead of
flimsy bags. Wedge your containers in spots where they won't budge
during tight turns, and secure them with bungee cords if necessary.
Lightweight Tableware and Tumblers Are Your Friends
Avoid
breakables, if possible. Drinking glasses and heavy dishware aren't
practical for RV living. Glasses can topple out of high cabinets or slip
out of soapy hands during clean-up in small, cramped sinks. Choose
lightweight tumblers and inexpensive, patio-style plates and bowls
instead.
When It Comes to Food, Think Shelf-Stable
Though
you can plug in at RV parks to enjoy electricity for your fridge and
other appliances, that fridge might start to warm during the day as you
travel from place to place. You may want to shy away from high-risk
perishables like raw meat (though small quantities of cheese, yogurt,
and eggs should be fine, as you'll go through them more quickly).
Consider
bringing more shelf-stable provisions, such as canned oil-packed tuna
and beans, peanut butter and jelly, bread, tomato sauce, tube polenta,
cereal, oatmeal, avocados, and s'mores supplies. Bring catch-all spices
rather than individual bottles for convenience.
Leave Room for Local Finds
Don't
pre-plan meals and snacks too much - you never know when you might find
local gems perfect for picking up delicious treats.
