Tips for feeding your crew on a long RV trip:
Plan your meals in advance: Before your trip, take the time to plan out your meals for the two weeks. This will help you make sure you have all the ingredients you need and that you're not wasting food. You can even make a shopping list of everything you need to buy.
Stock up on non-perishable items: Non-perishable items like canned goods, pasta, rice, and snacks can be bought in advance and stored in your RV for the trip. This will help you save time and money by reducing the number of trips you need to make to the grocery store.
Shop at local farmers’ markets and grocery stores: While on your trip, make it a point to stop at local farmers’ markets and grocery stores to pick up fresh produce and other local specialties. This is our favorite way to experience the local cuisine and culture of the places you're visiting.
Invest in a good cooler: A good cooler can keep your perishable items fresh for longer periods of time, even if you have access to a refrigerator, a cooler can be used as overflow for fruits and veggies. This is especially important if you're traveling in areas where the weather is hot. A good cooler is also essential when packing for picnics and meals away from your RV.
Use your RV's kitchen to cook meals: Most RVs have a kitchen with a stove, oven, and microwave, so take advantage of it to cook meals. This will save you money and give you the flexibility to eat when you want.
Keep it simple: Don't try to make elaborate meals while on the road. Stick to simple recipes that are easy to make and require only a few ingredients. This will save you time and make your trip more enjoyable.
In the end, planning a two-week family RV trip menu can be a daunting task, but with a little preparation and the right tips, it can be an enjoyable experience for the whole family when you get them involved too! By creating a meal plan in advance, stocking up on non-perishable items, shopping at local farmers markets and grocery stores, investing in a good cooler, and using your RV's kitchen to cook meals, you can feed your family delicious and nutritious meals while on the road.

Remember to bring along a variety of snacks, including fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, to keep your energy levels up throughout the day.
