Microwaves, ovens, crock pots, BBQ grills, electric coffee pots, and on and on. The amount of time people spend dealing with food seems incredible to me. I see it all the time in the campgrounds. It seems like endless preparation, eating, cleanup and then the cycle starts again. I suppose it depends on what RV camping means to each individual and family. I typically do a decent breakfast. Then a light and late lunch. If I am hiking or otherwise busy that might be just a peanut butter sandwich. Around 3 pm, I do a snack because that is typically when my day gets off to a major start. In the National Parks the crowds can be huge. By 3 pm I am traveling and reach my destination for the day at 4 or 5pm. By then the crowds begin to thin. By 6pm, the Parks start to look deserted. In the Summer, it might not get dark until 9pm. That is my time. I then return to the campground at 10pm or so. I am ready to eat, not fool around with food. I can start with frozen hamburger and make a pasta dinner in about 15 minutes, about the same for chicken and rice, or burritos with salsa, guac, and meat, or sausage with canned corn, or most anything else I fix. I travel in an RV to see great places, not sit around the campground fixing meals.
