Stored groceries while traveling

Turn fridge on the day before leaving and stock up.

Depending upon the length of our trip will determine how much food we bring along. Week-end camps are pretty simple. We plan for each breakfast, lunch, and dinner and then .... really .... very seldom stick to the plan! We remain flexible as the wind, since it's just my wife and me. We usually end up sleeping in LONG in the morning and having breakfast at noon, and lunch at 6:30 pm! Or may be out site-seeing and end up eating out, or stop in at a Dairy Queen and just ruin meal times all together.

When planning for longer trips (like a week to 10 days or more), we still plan only for about 3 days, and then plan on purchasing new every couple days after that.

Anything left over, like frozen meats, stay in the camper till the next camp out. We keep the camper stocked at home with drinks, as we use the camper at home all summer, and very seldom sleep in the house.

When traveling, we just pack the refrigerator like we do at in the house. Never had a problem with things spilling, falling, or the door coming open.

In the cabinets, we use plastic baskets to put smaller items, like McCormicks seasonings and cans of vegetables and such, so they won't fall on our heads when we open the cabinet doors that first time after traveling. No problem with anything shifting.

Basically, pack your stuff with the anticipation of it falling out of the cabinet, pack it so it won't. And you'll be just fine!

I've never had anything spill in a RV fridge, full or not. Once in a while a tall narrow item like a water bottle will fall over, but that's about it. As a precaution, put good closures on everything. DO double check that the fridge door is latched correctly.

Like others here, I like to start a trip with enough prepared food in the fridge and freezer for several meal. I also leave with a well-stocked pantry of ingredients for simple recipes. Grocery shopping and cooking are not my idea of what to do on vacation.

We always bring food except when we cross into the states, too many rules so then we shop after we cross and get things not available in Canada. Never had a problem of spillage even open Ontario bag milk

and remember a rv frig is not your house frig, turn the frig on 24hrs before your ready to stock it, and don,t leave the door open.you,ll learn its like learning to walk after a couple trips you,ll know. and make notes LIKE double check the frig lock, this you,ll never ever forget if you dump the frig one time.

Ditto to what everyone else said. I always have enough food (often pre-cooked) to take care of the number of days it takes to get to where we're going. I always keep condiments, etc in fridge (we keep it plugged in at home too!). My pantry has everything I need to make several meals. Not much frozen, however. Buy that stuff when we arrive at our campground (unless, of course, it's not close to a store!). Food shopping is not something I look forward to doing when I'm camping! If you're worried about things falling out when you open your fridge or cabinet, there are spring loaded rods you can get that stop that from happening. Never needed them but know they're out there. I'm sure making something for that would be easy as well.

We always stock our from the house refer and freezer. Always try to have a full as possible when traveling, temps are more consistent when full, stuff shifts less.

Tip:

Always double check that your fridge door is locked and closed all the way. Or you will be hating life.

We stock our fridge before we go. After a while, you will figure out how to keep things from sloshing around. For us, it's packing things pretty tight so there isn't much room for movement.

We FTd for 7 yrs.

Bought groceries as needed.........frozen items in freezer and normal items (milk/gallon ice tea, produce, condiments, cheese/lunch meats, jars of pickles, left overs etc.) if food section

Just made sure fridge doors were properly closed before traveling and then slowly opened after set up just in case -----same with cabinets/drawers.
And we had a full place setting of Noritake China that we used daily.

Turn fridge ON day prior to camping trip then after fridge has cooled down load it with groceries that have been already cooled.....and don't over pack---that hinders the natural cold air movement inside fridge.

Rig (fridge) needs to be level when operating.....!!!
