I’ve been doing van life since 2016, and cooking awesome meals in my camper van (or now my adventure truck<\/a>) is one of my favorite parts of van life. But now that I\u2019m traveling full-time with my son, I\u2019ve had to prioritize meals that are quick, convenient, and easy to clean up. With limited storage space in our rig, I can\u2019t pack everything I’d like, so I\u2019ve pared down our campervan cooking equipment to the essentials we use the most.<\/p>\n

In this post, I\u2019m sharing my favorite tried-and-true van life kitchen equipment essentials \u2014 the cookware, utensils, and gear that make cooking on the road simple and stress-free. Whether you’re outfitting a new build or upgrading your current setup, these van life cooking essentials will help you eat well without cluttering up your space.<\/p>\n

Major Kitchen Appliances<\/h2>\n

Over the years, I\u2019ve figured out what camper van cooking equipment is actually worth the space \u2014 and what we can live without. These are the major appliances I use the most in our van. Some people love having things like a toaster oven or an Omnia stovetop oven (if they cook with gas), but for our setup, this list covers everything we use to make cooking on the road easier.<\/p>\n
