If necessary we will cook inside, but if possible we always cook outside to keep the odors outside. Our ceiling is carpet like stuff and can hold the smell of cooking.
Therefore we us a propane grill outside or electric hot plate or electric griddle.
When cooking inside we try to eat things that do not have a strong smell.

We almost never have hook-ups, and with three kids 3 and under, we are lucky to get one fire in per trip, so we extensively use the stove and oven. I have a whole array of pots, pans, and skillets. I use them all, and have on several occasions fed 8-10 people complete meals using my 3 burner stove and oven. The art is getting everything to finish cooking at the same time  If I had to choose one item I could not live without, it would be my hybrid Wok pan. Its about 6" wide and flat on the bottom so it sets on the burner, then rounds up to 12" and is 5" deep. This is the most versital single pan in the TT. Great for large amounts of potatos, eggs, stir fry, one skillet dinners, etc. I don't remember where we got it, but when it wears out, I will get another one.

Someone mentioned an electric roaster oven. I've been toying with one of those, but would like a "double duty" slow cooker and ER. Does such a thing exist?

teknomad, I have the 18 qt Nesco roaster and have taken it along on our Thanksgiving camping trips. It can roast up to a 22 lb turkey and does a pretty good job. The bird will brown, if you follow the directions and keep the turkey drippings siphoned off.
However, it's big and bulky and takes up a lot of room. I never even bring it inside the RV. I cook and clean it outside and pack it back and forth to camp in the back seat of our pickup.
I've thought about buying a Nesco 5 qt roaster as it will double as a crock pot. Here's a link to Nesco site Nesco Roasters
Maybe someone on the forum has the 5qt Nesco roaster and can provide some feed back?

toaster oven, electric skillet, crock pot. Nothing else needed if hooked to power or have a generator.

I have both a 4 and a 6 qt. Nesco. If they had a crock type cooking vessel instead of metal they would work better as a slow cooker. The food cooks around the thin metal sides during the cycling on and off and requires stirring a lot. Crockpots cook much more evenly during there cycling due to the thick crock and the heat remaining steady. I also use the Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners, no clean up. It states on the box "Do not use with electric roaster ovens". That indicates to me they get too hot and might melt the bag.
I have both the regular crockpot and the Westbend Slow Cooker like Cruzette has. I much prefer those for true slow cooking.
My experience is the Nesco has it's purpose but not the best as a crockpot. If other owners have had a better experience, let me know as maybe I'm at fault.

Good to know, thanks for the feedback.
Another vote for crock pot liners, the next best thing to sliced bread! I am finding it hard to find them though.
