These RV cooking recipes and tips should help you get started cooking campfire food (that is, food out of your RV). Organizing Your RV Kitchen The RV Grill
Grilling and RVing go hand-in-hand. Since RV kitchens are so small, the RV grill works overtime, providing Dad with something to do, keeping the heat out of the RV (especially during summer) and making food taste delicious. Plus, the RV grill can double as a s'mores maker where campfires (and campfire food) are not allowed. The RV grill is much like any other grill, but there are a few things to think about in this mobile society. (Ask Ed why the $350 Commercial grill with side burner and storage cabinet in this picture did not work as well in the RV as he thought it would. No, seriously, ask him!)
