I find this very interesting, and I understand most folks don't want to change their eating habits if they have a full-on kitchen. I have a very good van kitchen. But not in bad weather.
When I am road tripping, I like to cook not just the regular stuff but sometimes, something fancy. Once crab cakes and grilled salmon and apple cobbler. Total mess, but very yummy. Other times it is sandwich and chips. I usually have a bag of salad and fruit to eat and we always start out with homemade cookies. Once we had a really good dinner just using sticks. half cooked bacon wrapped around shrimp with a bagged salad and apples all cooked over the fire without either of us moving our butts off our chairs. I like hot dogs cooked that way too. I have a microwave and a small burner and an airfrier. I carry fire sticks and pie irons and a crockpot sometimes. we have a tiny fridge that is also a freezer and a couple small ice chests.
So I guess it's more about how much you want to work at what you eat.
