I love the looks of that panel, it looks so lightweight. Thank you for sharing the photos.😍

@SeaDawg Oh how I love hearing your history of growing up on a farm that stems back so many generations. I bet you have loads of enthralling stories you could share around a campfire about your farm life and cooking fresh farm raised food since you started at 7 yrs old! It’s so nice the new owners let you revisit and wander, I’m sure they enjoy your stories and the history you bring on the property, precious memories.💗

@SeaDawg Ohhhhh that looks so good! I’ve seen so many campers using pie irons and I’m definitely intrigued by it. It does seem fun!

@SeaDawg It’s nice you can make them at home ahead of time and freeze them. It makes for a fast and easy “around the campfire” snack with no mess! I don’t have a pie iron but it is on my list of “things to try”.😃

Lots of varies answers however Oliver recommends 55psi.

Make Ahead Campfire Pizza Log Ingredients: 1 can pizza dough, store bought 1/2-1 cup pizza sauce 8oz shredded mozzarella Toppings of your choice (e.g. veggies, pepperoni, cooked chicken etc.) 2 tablespoons butter, melted Pinch of salt, garlic powder and oregano Method: Roll out the pizza dough and spread sauce around, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and then add your toppings, being careful not to add too many. Carefully roll the dough into a log and pinch the ends so the dough sticks together. Use a fork to poke some holes in the top. Melt butter in a pan and spread on top of the dough followed by the salt, garlic powder and oregano. Wrap in tinfoil and place in the freezer. At camp, place the foiled pizza log onto hot coals, cooking for about 30 minutes and turning occasionally. Use-by: Thawed pizza dough will last in the cooler for about 3 days.

Sounds like a wonderful trip! Would love to see some photos.😃

@SeaDawg What a wealth of knowledge and experience farming. I never heard of freezing eggs in an ice-cube tray. Good tip! I spent a lot of time all over Europe (I was a flight attendant) and it took me by surprise the first time seeing eggs not refrigerated. where was your farm? What else did you raise/grow on it?

@Steve and Deb Ohhhh that looks so good! I love stir fry.😋

Make Ahead Scrambled Eggs. OK so this is only a partial make ahead breakfast, but it certainly saves you carrying around a bunch of eggs that could spell disaster if they cracked all over your cooler or refrigerator! If you love eggs around the campfire, there is a solution. Simply whisk your eggs at home and pour them in a plastic bottle. That way you can store them in your cooler/refrigerator and pour them straight into a hot pan.

I agree with John, it depends on the cop. I think as long as you have all the paperwork you should be ok. When we sold our Airstream the seller towed it from Michigan to Iowa without any plate or temporary paper and had no problems. I thinks it’s more common then not.

We’ve had great service at Kline RV Center in Madison Heights, Mi.

One meal we always have while camping is stir fry! It’s one of my favorite meals to cook on our Blackstone, super fast and easy. I precut all the veggies at home prior to trip. I use the microwaveable bags of jasmine rice to make it easier. I usually add chicken tenders, broccoli, carrots, asparagus and water chestnuts but the choices are endless! What do you like in your stir fry?

@SeaDawg That’s fantastic that your 90yr old aunt still tends a huge garden. I personally find gardening to be so therapeutic as well as rewarding. Nothing like fresh from the garden! We really enjoy the corn come mid Winter and is just as sweet as the day I froze it.🌽😋 I do the same, I just drop the frozen bag of corn into boiling water for a few minutes, no need to thaw it. Thank you for sharing your tips and story, growing up on a farm I’m sure you have a lot of knowledge on preserving farm fresh food. Would love to hear more!

What an awesome mod!!🙌🏼

Chocolate Burritos A great recipe that can be made ahead for camping trips. 1 flour tortilla 1 to 2 TBS peanut butter 1 to 2 TBS chocolate chips 1 to 2 TBS mini marshmallows Place tortilla on a piece of aluminum foil. Spread with thin layer of peanut butter; sprinkle with chocolate chips and marshmallows. Fold in the ends of the tortilla and roll up. Wrap folded tortilla in foil. Cook over a campfire or grill until melted, approx 10 minutes. Enjoy😋

@Steve and Deb Doesn’t get mushy at all as long as you vacuum seal it ie get all the water out. I’ve been doing it for years, it’s so good!🌽😋 Get yourself a corn peeler, so much faster and easier to take the kernels off the cob! OXO Good Grips Corn Prep Peeler https://a.co/d/8F4Y5kg IMG_7382.MOV

I’d also like to know what time for dinner tomorrow?

@tallmandan Thank you so much for that information. I will check with my husband on that. I love the idea of not having another gadget on the dash! I’m going to screenshot your comment and show it to him, if we do have it that’s the way to go! Really appreciate that info!

I love roasted onions. This is such a great tip for an accompaniment for meat! It all sounds so good. I really like the flat pack idea too and using the vacuum sealer. I just put my vacuum sealer to work yesterday, froze up 20 ears of Michigan Sweet corn.🌽😋

Thank you for the recommendation.👍🏼

There are so many brands of monitors and with the recent discussion (and confusion) on correct tire pressure seems a monitor is essential. Do you use a monitor? What tire pressure monitor do you use/recommend.

@SeaDawg Oh my goodness that looks so good!!🤤 Love the idea to flat pack them and vacuum seal. Thank you for sharing your recipe and tip on flat packing.🙌🏼

@AZ Wonderer I always feel like the more space you have the more stuff you bring..lol..so the wet bath keeps me in check!😜

I don’t mind a wet bath, I’d rather have the extra space where we spend the most time. I find the wet bath so easy especially to clean! We’ve never had a camper that’s big enough to have a dry bath so I have no experience to compare it to. We mostly use the campground bathhouse to shower anyway.
