Induction cooking system

DW just heard about the induction cooking method and is all eager for one of these. We camp out of a B and space is limited. We did away with the sink, fridge and stove for the sake of storage when ordering our van. Which is pretty much full. My questions is, how many accessories, tools, whatever are needed to go with this new cooking system? Now I have to carry a duplicate set of pots, pans, utensils and what other stuff to accommodate this "easier way" of cooking? Can these "special" pots be used on a regular fire?
I like to cook over the open fire with a grill, and the BEST there is, http://www.uniquecookingsystem.com/. A little foil, adult beverage and we're good.
So do I need more room to haul extra cooking utensils or am I good to just say "Yes Dear."?

    We too have an induction burner and just love it. Hardly ever use my electric stove burners anymore. I take it in the rv when we travel. Thinking about getting a second one for the rv. I use stainless steel and you can use castiron on it as well. They are coming out with more pans that can be used on these burners.

    Your cast iron stuff works great. I only bought a big frying pan and a stock pot.
    I love my induction cook top. You can set it on a temp, like 170 for simmering.

    You can use the induction cookware on any heating system. The induction system only needs pots and pans that are magnetic, that is, a magnet would stick to the bottom of the pot/pan. We have two induction burners and never use the electric burners anymore. The induction burners don't really get too hot to the touch and if anything boils over it doesn't stick on the burner. Just clean them off when done with them and put them away.
