Microwave Oven

We use this to reheat food. It also serves as a small cabinet to store our dishes while driving.

Induction Burner

We use this to boil water and cook food.

Kettle

We use this to boil water. This is a good size. Large enough to make a few drinks, but not too large.

Spatula

We use this when cooking on a grill.

Long tongs

We use these when cooking on a grill.

Mixing Bowls

We only carry the larger ones. We use the big one as a salad bowl.

Nylon Cooking Utensils

We use these when cooking with the non-stick pots and pans on the induction burner.

Non-stick Induction Cookware

We had some other cookware at first, but it was not great. We replaced it with these, and they are great. I actually like these better than many of the pans we use at home. Very heavy duty and they all pack away into the large pot.

Portable Grill / Firepit

This is great when boondocking. If we are at park campground, we just use the firepit they almost always provide.

Dometic Fridge/Freezer

I like the dual zone. Sometimes we set it up as a fridge & freezer and sometimes with both sides being a fridge. The app makes it super easy to change the temp to whatever you want. It holds a lot of stuff.

Yeti Mugs

We have replaced all of our mugs and coffee cups with Yeti Rumblers. Keeps hot drinks hot for a long time. Don’t break if they bounce around in the van.

Yeti Wine Glass

Not as elegant as a Reidel Bordeau crystal wine glass but these work great. The boxed wine we drink while camping tastes fine in these glasses. We have a couple with lids and a couple without. I never use the lid, but Tracey does sometimes. These don’t break if they bounce around in the van or you knock it off a picnic table.

Yeti Tumblers

We use these for cold drinks like iced tea. Keeps cold drinks cold for a long time. Don’t break if they bounce around in the van. Fit in the van’s drink holders. I like these so much they are also what I use at home.

Yeti Straws

You can also get a lid that works with a straw.

Nalgene bottles

We carry 6 or 7 of these bottles. One in each of our packs. One clipped to a carabiner hanging by each side of our bed. A couple extras for spare water. One of these or a bike water bottle is almost always within arm’s reach from anywhere in the van.
