This page is focused a bit more on the unique needs of traveling and cooking with an RV. When you’re exploring the open road in a rig, things like prep space, refrigeration, and cooking equipment are all more limited. Fortunately, we have a full-time RVer on staff at AmazingRibs.com. Bill McGrath, our resident thermometer expert, hauls a Presidential rig with his Ford pick-up truck year round. He and his wife park it sometimes and travel other times. Bill carries a Napoleon portable gas grill and Weber Smokey Mountain (a.k.a. Weber bullet smoker) so he can enjoy the barbecue he loves on the road. He shares loads of wisdom in his article below—from planning and packing to RV gear and cooking tips.

Whether you’re parked at a scenic campsite or traveling the world, we’ll help you turn your RV kitchen—or your portable outdoor setup—into a fully equipped cooking station. RV life is about freedom, and that includes the freedom to eat well.
