I carry dishes - a set of Corel (sp) for 6 BUT that is my 'Company" dishes. What I use for everyday --ie almost ALL the time is disposable plates, bowls and silverware. Cleanup after a meal is throw out the trash and only have to wash the cooking utinsils. Saves on water, filling dump tanks, and cleaning supplies.
For cleaning, the towelttes that clean wood, windows, counters, etc and then throw out is my every day. About weekly OR if I am being a klutz/slob, I use the spray multi purpose cleaner that cleans glass and counters. Cleaning supplies to a minimum.
With pets, the place will start smelling doggy quickly and I use Odo-Ban (Sam's and Home Depot - gallon size with a smaller refillable spray bottle - full strength. Takes care of all sorts of odors, but even better it is a germicidal which is food safe, so I use that at various dilutions for adding to laundry, washing floors, sanitizing if the dog does a boo-boo, rubber gloves and cheap parer towels clean the tup and tooilet (it does cut soap scum), If necessary Scrubbing bubbles if the bath gets really groady.
The one thing is - use as much throw away stuff as possible but have blenty of old towels or the 12x12 terry cloth 'bar towels' for wet cleanups. When I am driving, I really don't want to do a lot of housekeeping when I stop -
Cooking, Crock pot set up in the AM and do your evening meal in it. Leave it on a counter if you are parked, but you can put it in the kitchen sink if you are on the road and I won't fall off the counter if you have sharp turns or quick stops.
I carry a lot of cooking utinsils, and all my cast Iron (stored in a basement - so I can cook on any kind of heat, including solar with the dutch oven.) One of the handiest cooking pots I have found is from an infomercial. The Turbocooker. On the stove top you can fry, casarols, make pasta meals. At a dog show I did a chicken and rice dish that fed about 12 people (party at my RV at the big Houston Show - all the Malamute people were there.) You can alo bake cakes and stuff like that in it. Get the big size (I still see them at Big Lots, etc. The lid can be used either vented so steam escapes or not but I can cook a 3 lb meatloaf 30 -45 minutes. And you can stack food - fry meat in the bottom, steam veggies on the rack which fits just unter the lid, and while you are eating, bake a cake in it. All on one burner of the stove.
And I usr rhw Microwave a LOT - mine is a microwave/convection oven combo - I have never used the real oven. I have silicone baking pans so they canbe used in either oven.
Ok now off to bed.
I have been on the road/parked at friend's homes with trips lasting up to 5 weeks. Now I am fulltime. Working out great.
