We "camped" in motel rooms and with her trusty electric skillet Mom could make a meal fit for a king! We had a cooler with ice, we ate pimiento cheese sandwiches on the side of the road, and hot meals at night in the motels.
If you have a pressure cooker, you could can some ground meat or chicken too. You just have to think outside the box.
