Simple Meals
Eggs (sometimes some Jimmy Dean sausage), some sort of fruit, and coffee. Cooked eggs using a small ceramic skillet with a portable electric burner (we're out of propane for our gas stove at the moment) and ate off paper plates. We have a mini 5-cup coffee pot that fits easily in our cabinet, and we use that for both coffee and loose leaf yerba mate. Our coffee mugs for the RV are Corelle mugs, and apparently they're known for not breaking (my mom found them for us at a garage sale). They are also easily stackable, which is a huge plus when you're living in a small space (we have 8, and they hardly take up the space of 2 regular mugs).

Simple healthy meals like Chicken Caesar salad are one of our favorites. (Canned chicken isn't ideal, but I didn't have time to pre-cook a chicken breast.) Another favorite (although slightly less healthy) is black/pinto bean dip with all the fixins' and chips. (For a pdf of our meals on the road, click here.)

We are so grateful to be able to work from the road. It really has been a "dream come true". We work from both inside and outside, depending on our mood and the weather.
That view from our big back window sure beats a cubicle wall!

Some helpful apps for life on the road...
RoadTrippers membership and app - FREE account and FREE app. Excellent tool for helping you route your trip, and plan what things you could do while you're there and on the way. They've put together "guides" that group things in a common thread together, so you can select guides that you're interested in and it will give you places you should visit. They also have preplanned routes that you can select if you just wanna go, but aren't sure to where. Tip: I mainly just log in on my browser. Their app is still a bit glitchy and not quite as helpful as the browser version.
Sanidumps app - FREE app that tells you where dump stations are, so if you're dry-camping you can find spots to dump your tanks. Some cost and some are free.
Chimani National Parks app - FREE app that gives you info about all the national parks and where they are located. There are several national park apps, but I chose this one.
CoverageApp - Tells you where your phone has good service, and more importantly where it does not. Since we work from the road, we have to know this so we can plan our work schedule accordingly.

Good Sam app?
National park annual pass - $80 for the year. Covers admittance to all national parks. Doesn't cover parking fees, but not many parks have parking fees.
Passport America - $44 annual membership that gives you half price on several campgrounds across the U.S. Most campgrounds have restrictions for use of this membership, like limitations on nights you can stay with that discount, etc. But definitely pays for itself if you're going to be using it a lot.
If you have any other suggestions, please write to us! We would love for this site to be as informative as possible.
