Hi,
Having now RV'd for 5 years, we like to take items that don't require refrigeration as they are normally light and can be fixed with other things we do keep in the fridge. Usually keep some steaks and chicken and 5 lbs of hamburger to make meals of various types. Also like to keep snacks and drinks we can cool off in the fridge. We also take tomato paste and make our own spaghetti sauce. Water weighs a lot and some campers don't have much payload but we usually keep either a tank of water or four or five gallons of water we can use. If we are in towns where we can buy a gallon of water we don't carry so much with us.
Bags of soup mix are nice because you can fix a good soup with a few other items like onions, canned tomatoes, and a pound of hamburger, plus seasonings we like. I'd suggest making a menu of things you would like to fix. I'd try to have about ten or twelve items. Then you can rotate menus so your not fixing the same things too often. You can fix sides like dried rice packets or frozen vegtables to make things just slightly different. Also if you pack a crook pot that is useful with a lot of meals and contained all in one pot for easier clean up, stew meat would be added to the other meats in the freezer.
Here are a few of our meals we use:
Soup Meals - Chili, Cheddar & Potato, Vegtable
(need ground beef or chicken), Can Tomatoes, & Onion
Sloppy Joes - Chili Dogs (need whole wheat toast or buns)
Tacos or Burritos & Rice
Spaghetti We Make (use whole wheat)
Hotdogs on a stick (State Fair) easy lunch meal with a side
Steak & Chicken on the Grill (or Hamburgers & Chicken)
Hobo Stew - Chicken Breasts Grilled
Freeze Dried
Brats on Grill & Sauerkraut
Lunch Meat Sandwiches - whole wheat buns, turkey lunch meat, lettus, tomato, cheese, mayo
Make our own Burritos with hamburger, onions, cheese, put rice side dish in burrito, can or fresh tomatoes and serve with rice side dish.
The hobo stew is simply a foil wrapped meal, hamburger, onions, carrots, potatoes with some salt and we put in some barbq
