RE: Convenience Food
Cruzette,
We also do the frozen pot pies. Also like the frozen Bertolli Mediterranean or Italian meals, skillet ready in 9 minutes, also Barber Foods frozen Stuffed Chicken Breasts Cordon Bleu. Bertolli also makes a good pasta sauce in a pouch that microwaves in 90 seconds, we've tried all three varieties and they are all good. They are in the pasta isle, not frozen. A number of Stouffers meals are good. Pierre Foods makes a frozen BarBQue Rib Sandwich with Sweet Baby Ray's Sauce. Sam's has those.
We travel a month to 6 weeks in our Class B motor home and don't have an abundance of storage or fridge/freezer space. We can usually have room for 5 or 6 dinners and they are all cooked in the microwave, toaster oven or 2 burner cooktop.
Hope some of these prepared meals help you.

RE: Banana Split Salad
sonora,
No apology necessary. I just wanted anyone interested in making this delicious dessert/salad to know to drain the pineapple. I thought it might be too thin if the juice was included.
Thanks for posting this recipe.

RE: Banana Split Salad
I found my answers on allrecipes.com. They have this exact recipe and it got very good reviews. You do drain the pineapple and yes it has a pink tint.

RE: Banana Split Salad
sonora,
This sounds wonderful. Do you drain the crushed pineapple? Does the cherry pie filling give this a pink tint?

RE: Am I a young guy?
Yes, you are a young guy with or without a "B". Our kids aren't even that young LOL. However you use the "B", for your home or travel, enjoy.

RE: Meals Made Easy..Great steak dinner!
Kathy,
Thanks for the info. We are leaving in 3 weeks for a long 10,000 mile trip and I'm always looking for easy meals and Wal-Mart is everywhere.

Nesting Cookware Set
I just received a set of nesting cookware with removable handles. It is the Jamie Oliver Survival Kit by T-Fal.
We have a Class B motor home with limited storage space. This set when nested is only 11" by 6" and is just what I was looking for.
I've seen other sets but they were too heavy when nested. These are not at all but the pans themselves are a nice weight.
I just thought someone out there may be interested. I purchased them from HSN.

RE: Substitute for Dutch Oven?
I was thinking of a deep Corning Ware casserole or large Pyrex or oven proof casserole. I've heard of people covering pot handles with aluminum foil but I have never tried that.

RE: Traveling with fridge off
I would put an open box of baking soda and a roll of paper towels inside and keep the door closed while traveling. When we are not using our van we always keep the door open. I like air to circulate and would rather be safe than sorry.

RE: Do any of you have a covection toaster oven? Like it?
We just got home from Sam's and the B&D is $58 there. If we had room for it in our Class B, I'd buy it in a minute. I took measurements to compare with the toaster oven we usually take. I think you will like the convection feature as it circulates air for more even cooking. The regular toaster ovens tend to over cook or burn some things on the bottom. Good luck in your decision.

RE: Buying a used B
cat7,
We have a 2005/2006 LTV. I'd be happy to answer any questions about this van. Send me a private message if I can be of any help.

RE: Refrig/freezer size
Our LTV has a 5 cf fridge/freezer (3 way). I've never seen a larger one in a B. We travel 4 to 6 weeks at a time in our van and can fit about a weeks meals in the fridge/freezer (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). We travel, not camp, so grocery shopping once a week is not a problem. In fact we enjoy shopping all over the country. We do not have a portable freezer or carry a cooler.
Our B has the elevated fridge and microwave. This is our preference and we find it to be much more user friendly than the low, floor placement. Something you may want to consider when shopping for a B.

RE: No Bake Cherry Custard Cake-my favorite potluck dish
Dianne and Tom,
Do you use the already prepared cake from the bakery section in the grocery store?
We do not have an oven in our Class B motor home so I would have to use a store bought cake.
We will be attending a rally and pot luck at the end of a 6 week trip. This sounds like a great dish to make for that. We do not want leftovers that have to be refrigerated as our fridge is fairly small.

RE: 288 nights in our LTV
We met you last year at the LTV Rally. You were parked near our group "The Blue Ridge Leisures". We are signed up to attend this year. Hope you are as we would like to hear about the Alaska trip.

RE: San Francisco in R/T 210P
NVTraveler,
Thanks for the reply.
We will be on a 6 week trip of probably 10,000 miles. We have a CG picked out to stay in but are always open for suggestions.

Thanks for the post. We will be in that area late September or early October. Where did you stay while visiting the area?

RE: On a B, take the bikes or not?
It sounds like you made a good decision for yourselves. The forum members gave you lots to think about in making that decision.
Who knows we may see you on the road, driving or pedalling.
Have a great trip and give us a report when you return.

RE: 33 days in a B! Leaving in a couple weeks
firstimer,
Glad to hear your first trip was such a success and you are keeping your B.
In September we will be taking our third 10,000 mile trip. Probably be gone 6 weeks or so.
We wouldn't trade this way to see our country for anything.
Thanks for your post. I love to read about B adventures.

RE: Where do you store your Travasak?
Our Travasak has Velcro all the way around and we've never had any problems with the zipper in 3 years. The sheets are also very good quality. Can't recommend it enough.

RE: Where do you store your Travasak?
In our LTV we store it under the electric sofa. We fold the Travasak in half lengthwise, roll it up and secure with two Velcro straps. Our pillows are stored in an overhead cabinet.
Happy traveling in your B.
