Thanks to cramped quarters and a lack of specialized appliances, cooking while touring the country in an RV can become claustrophobic and repetitive. There’s typically only enough space for essential cookware, and RVers often opt to ditch fresh produce for processed and boxed food that will last. So how do you keep things interesting and…
