First off I refuse to buy propane. It's to expensive and a pain to change out tanks. The only propane we use is on the gas grill. So how do we cook? Electric baby! First off electric is included in the price at most RV parks so you are saving yourself a lot of money right there.
In our kitchen area the table and benches were missing when we bought the RV. Which saved us time because we would have ripped them out anyway. In it's place I bought a heavy duty folding table with plywood on top to hold all the items I put on the table.
On the table I have a standard size microwave, a toaster/convection oven, coffeemaker, and hotplate. All these items are electric. I bought a long plug in bar so they can all stay plugged in and not have to be moved BUT unless you want to blow your breakers don't use the larger items together. Also store in the kitchen is an electric skillet and an electric griddle. So really I can cook most everything I could have cooked in the stove except a turkey but I can cook a turkey breast.
As most women know you need to buy items when they are on sale and I still do. To store these items I have plastic shelves under the table and a tablecloth to hide it all. For more storage I have to largest fridge I could fit which is a smaller fridge but much bigger then and RV fridge or dorm fridge. This allows me to freeze more items. As soon as we can get an awning we will also move our deep freezer out of storage and put it under the awning.
So unlike a standard RV kitchen, there is no need for excessive eating out. My husband and I are poor and don't get government assistance for food. We have learned to eat very cheap and don't even use coupons.
