[COLOR=]When we first went camping, I started with the meals and made a menu for each day. That told me what food and pans to take. Cook anything you can in advance. Cook spaghetti and put in large zip lock bag. A jar of sauce and bread and butter, bagged salad.Don't forget can openener, salt and pepper and condiments. Keep the meals simple. Paper products: paper towels, toilet tissue, paper plates and cups (not styrofoam). Coffee, coffee pot, cream and sugar. Drinks We took water and crystal light. Snacks. Chairs. Sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers. We take a small gas grill with us. Cooking outside in nice weather is much better than cooking inside. A crock pot is also good.
+1.
You can also cook rice in advance; just finished doing that, cooled and ZipLoc bagged the rice into the freezer. Should you find something not on your menu to cook like say lobsters, on the road, just buy a big enough pot at a local thrift shop as it's less expensive than getting one from a supermarket mart.
I bought this one size fits all lightweight pot cover last year at one of those mall gourmet cook type shops last year. Works for every type of heat source 'cept wood fires(don't ask how I know...sigh):
extra large LilyPad
Enjoy your new done truck camper!
