Cooking while camping without propane

travel camping questions and answers help forum
 

QUESTION: I am looking or help with cooking without using propane while we are camping outdoors. I am a disabled mom of two 13 year olds, whom I homeschool, and I love to travel. I have Post Polio syndrome which affects my range of motion, strength, and energy. I often must spend much time resting on my bed. I actually own a nice lot up in Ocean Shores, WA which if I got a "power pole" installed on it, I could then "camp" on it for a total of 4 months per year. Right now just traveling with these two is work enough ha! One sticking point: propane "gas" heating and cooking makes me ill, very weak and tired. Is it possible to have the heating and cooking made "all electric" in a camper van or rv, instead of needing to use propane?

MY ANSWER: Yes of course. Using the special inverter shown in the Vanabode book you can use an electric skillet or small microwave through your cigarette lighter in your van, REREAD the food chapter it seems you may have skipped over it. I recommend the use of propane on the outside of the van only and only if none of the other 4 preferred methods that I discuss in the book are applicable for some reason.

This is a question from a list of camping questions those on my email list have asked my help with.
Please email me anytime if you need help with anything related to Vanabode, camping, travel, road trips, equipment, or living off the grid in the United States.
