Food & Traveling
Ok, we are brand new to the RV world, and camping. How do you plan your food purchases, how much, dos and don'ts. I guess frozen is out of the question since we can't travel with refrigerator on.

I turn our refrigerator on a couple of days before we leave. The night before we leave, we fill it up with already cold stuff if we are just traveling a few hours from home. Upon leaving, the refrigerator is off and the food stays cold for the few hours we are traveling. If we are traveling a greater distance than we shop when we get to our destination.
x2 I get the fridge cold about two days before the trip. Day before I load it up with ice, food, cream, meat, produce, drinks, everything. Just before we pull out of driveway I turn it off, and we unplug the cord.
It stays cold for a couple hours on the road. We do not run it on propane on the drive. Many do, personal choice. When we get to the campground...first thing we do is plug into the power pedestal and turn the fridge back on. Our ice has never melted and our frozen food has never defrosted on the drive.
Then we do the routine of unhooking the truck and setting up.
