I seen a while back that "bjoyce" recommended the Breville Convection/Toaster Oven. I am curious as to what model each one is using. I seen the model 650 up here on sale but that model does not have convection feature. I think it's the model 800 that has it. Looking for good reviews and opinio...

I've seen in other threads in the forum where folks have replaced their RV refridgerator with a residential model. I have even seen new RV's being sold with Residential refridgerators...ice and water in the door too ! As we look at RV's to buy, I am stunned by the size of the ovens. Doesn't matter wha...

I know it has only been a few weeks, but I am surprised that I don't find that I miss my dishwasher. I don't need as many dishes since I keep them washed and put away. Of course I am not cooking 5 or 6 course meals now. Just simple meals of casseroles and a vegie, or meat, potato, & salad. How do oth...

Recently I've been reading some articles about the benefits of dehydrating food, the biggest of which seems to be an almost limitless shelf storage time, while freeing up the freezer for other things. We all agree that fridge and freezer space is a problem. Couldn't find any posts about this topic...

I thought I'd start this to see who has some great recipes to share using the Breville 800XL (or similar). There are some recipes in the user manual. The unit looks capable of performing some neat things. Please post up some of your good recipes and experiences.

My 5th wheel has a double sink with a corian counter top. My stove has the same corian surround. Both the sink and the stove have covers made of the same material as the counters which when inserted, fit snugly and make it look like one surface, so you cant see the sink or stove top. My question is...d...

I am a permanent plugged in, in a 21ft Class C Glendale. My fridge is a nice size, but I cant keep much in it, as even at a low setting on the dial, most everything freezes. Even in the door, my 2L jugs of milk are just above freezing, which is good, as I dont drink a lot of milk, and they keep longer.. The down sid...

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for sharing generously! We are wondering about the pros and cons of these two types of kitchen counter designs. Would appreciate some feedback on your experience with them, your preferences and why? Thanks in advance!

I have really nice cookware, that are all stainless steel and heavy gauge. Most of the bottoms are larger than the small burners on the fifth wheel stoves.

Does anyone have any advice on a portable gas grill? We grill out almost exclusively when we're RVing (and at home too), weather permitting of course.

Hi. I am about as new of a newby as you can get. I am planning to retire full time to class B in two years. While this is a ways away, I am already thinking about what I will and won't need.
