Last-Minute Preparations Before Setting Out For Another Destination In The RV

After getting the trailer ready and hooked up, the next most important thing for us is to make sure WE are ready to go. That includes stocking certain items inside the cab of the truck within easy reach of the passenger seat.

Here's what we do...

 

How Much Food Does An RV Refrigerator Really Hold?

| Comments (0)

If you’re like me, when it comes to shopping for groceries and cooking meals, you want to spend as little time as possible doing either one. Being able to stock up so that I can shop less is important to me.

So, one of my biggest worries when I was getting ready to move into an RV and kiss my house goodbye (along with my huge residential refrigerator) was how I was going to cope with that teensy tiny refrigerator, because RV refrigerators aren't known for holding a lot of stuff.

 

Equipping Your RV Kitchen: Tips For Storage & Organization Aboard An RV

Even the largest of motor homes usually have a much smaller refrigerator than ones you will find in a regular house, and the ovens are all just about the same.

RV Party Tips: Serving A Crowd From Your RV

Before we sold our house and hit the road in our RV, we liked to have dinner parties. You know, where you invite several couples over, cook a delicious meal, maybe serve hors d'oeuvres, then linger over a cup of coffee and dessert laughing and talking.

After we moved into our small space, I wondered to myself how I could ever do that sort of thing again.

I wanted to be able to cook some of my favorite "big" dishes, the ones that are good and yummy but you can't cook just a little bit of it. And I wanted to invite some of the interesting people we had met.

So, one day when we were working at a large resort in south Texas, I decided I was just going to do it and figure out how as I went along.
