Ok, so , i cook a bit. You will have a small inadequate kitchen in a camper. The stoves are low pressure, i have yet to see one with a good flame. In fact when the ac is on the flame is worse. Lol. Oven is almost the same, but workable. Best bet is to have a good outdoor set up. Good propane grill, griddle and burner. Also invest in a set of aluminum pots that nest. A few good knives, and forget the set of mixing bowles. Well maybe one that serves as a mixing bowl and mesering bowl/ strainer. You can keep the cast iron pan , i bring 2 of them. You will learn to adapt. Dont rip out the microwave just yet. I never use mine at home, ok popcorn only. But in the TT i use it a lot. Make meals and freeze them, pop in the microwave and dinner is ready. Now you can cook at home. I have also transitioned to paper plates for clean up. Sometimes the water conservation is hard! I would figure most of the TT have simmiler kitchens and storage capabilities. You learn to make due with less. Use stones in the oven for even heat. Grill more, cook on the stovetop less. Have fun and good luck with the search.
Good info about the gas pressure, that was one of my issues.
I avoid aluminum pots and pans in my personal collection. They're reactive to acids and won't work on an induction burner (I have several tabletop models I use for demos). My 10" skillet serves me well. I'll also have a 3 quart and 6 quart sauce/soup pot with lid.
I have more knives than, well, I have a lot of knives as does the wife. Hers are Kicuichi, handmade. I'm not allowed to use them. :R
I haven't used a microwave in more than 20 years, including at work. We have three kitchens and a production bakery, and one microwave that staff uses occasionally to reheat something they brought from home. Trust me, we won't use it.
Bowls, we must have bowls. Many of them. They nest and take up no space and are immensely useful.
