We eat very well on the road. Most of the time we eat in the RV. We start our trip with a fully stocked freezer and refrigerator. When I am cooking at home, I will frequently freeze part of it to ‘feed’ our RV freezer. I don’t worry about cleaning out the refrigerator before we leave; whatever is in there goes into the cooler and into the RV.
I cook bacon about three-fourths of the way in my oven, laying the slices across a cooling rack above a rimmed cookie sheet. It gets rolled up in paper toweling and put into a heavy plastic bag and put in the freezer. When we want some on the road, we unroll however much we need and pop it into the microwave. No grease in the RV, quick crispy bacon. If we find some special food along the way and if we have space in the freezer, we’ll buy extra for later on in the trip or for home. At this point, I have 9 long boudin sausages in the freezer. When we were in Louisiana, we stocked up on shrimp, too.
As for coffee, we use a French press. 
We are small, so we don’t carry a coffee grinder. We buy good, ground coffee. I like coffee with dessert in the evening, but for just one cup I use an excellent instant Colombian coffee from Trader Joe’s. Almost as good as the real thing.
We do eat out occasionally, usually because there is a local restaurant that has a reputation for being interesting or because see something that grabs us. We found just such a place in Fanning Springs, FL. We had stopped at the Huckleberry Barbecue seven years ago when we were in Fanning Springs, and when we saw it was still open, we remembered the delicious meal we’d had there and stopped.
We seek out local restaurants and, for the most part, steer clear of franchises. Two exceptions: I love the hash browns at Waffle House. If you come in slightly after the morning rush hour and ask for them extra crispy, they will usually spread them all across the griddle and what you get is pure crunch. The other exception is Burger King. My husband loves Burger King and if we are looking for a quick, inexpensive lunch, I’ll humor him and we’ll stop at a BK. I rely on Yelp reviews to find good local places and they are usually dependable.
We try to buy local . On this trip, we bought the most amazing strawberries from a small stand along the road in Louisiana. They were red clear through, tasted fabulous, and lasted for almost a week. We ate them before they were ready to be thrown out. We have a stash of 6 Florida grapefruit, picked fresh from the tree at another stop. There are cabbages in all the fields around us where we are currently camping. If we see a stand on our way out of the park, we will be sure to stop and buy some. The boudin and the shrimp were local, but we didn’t buy crawfish. I still can’t figure out how to eat the whole ones or cook with the shelled ones. When we were in Morgan City, LA, a man we talked do delivered three meals’ worth of fish to our door. We blessed him every meal.
