Cooking a nice meal every night? I'm sure that some of you do that and I'm sure that many of you are outstanding cooks. But I'll also bet that the majority of you will maybe cook a hamburger or just make a sandwich and have a beer or two. Me I'm on vacation I don't want to have to cook and do dishes and make the bed every morning. I do that stuff at home not on many vacation.
I'm going to go to the restaurant where somebody takes my order and serves me my hot food. And for some reason food almost always tastes better when someone else does all the work and you just have to sit back and enjoy it. Well with the exception of the cafeteria at Yosemite Lodge or Curry Camp. Yeah that food leaves a lot to be desired. But 20 minutes later I'm past that point and having fun again and not having to stop to do the dishes etc.
On a relaxed trip, we cook most meals.
But if the goal is to put in 12-14hr days (heck even 8-9hr driving), making miles, we would typically be eating-out at least 1 meal and often 3 meals a day. After a long day, we just want to kick back and relax. If it's just quick and easy sandwiches and such, you can take a cooler on a car trip.
Of course, for us, short of an emergency, we only travel 1-4hr per day in the RV and trips are usually measured in months, so we have all our cooking supplies on hand.
