I'm often asked if you can cook in a van and my answer is YES YOU CAN!!. In the 16 years that I've lived in a van, I estimate I've cooked at least 10,000 meals inside a van! All without any safety issues or any stomach distress from it--YOU can do it too!! Soon after I moved into a van I realized I couldn't possibly afford to eat all my meals out at a restaurant and so I devised simple methods to be able to cook and wash the dishes inside it. In this video, I explain it all to you!

I'm so tired of paying half of my monthly disability check just for a small tiny apartment where my neighbors are not always nice. I'm now educating myself on living a "gypsy life" and I'm thinking to start out a 2 room cabin tent would be my best option, with emergency sleeping being in my car. I love travel, always have, and would like to finish my life exploring our amazingly beautiful nation!

@62WILDCAT 2 года назад

Me too. I could start in a tent. If I do that ,I'm thinking to ranch in Arizona that Bob did the video on , for the Winter. I'd find a van to make comfortable then to travel in higher elevations for summer. My car is a Toyota convertible ,so I'm not sure about sleeping in it.

@skipperrussell2025 2 года назад

I hear you. I've been thinking about the same thing. How are you doing now?

@Cisnell70 Год назад

@@skipperrussell2025 I'm heading into a travel trailer and truck. Had the car/ tent for a year, a big ass dodge van for a year, and now I want the comfort of a trailer and the portability of a truck. I'm either moving up or not as comfortable as others in vehicles. (I really miss indoor plumbing!!)

@emartin851 Год назад

You might want to just use a tent for storage, but sleep in your vehicle, or just get a minivan & have all of your necessities in there, much less hassle.

Started to live in a van in order to still care for the ex wife and kids. That's admirable. Having PTSD due to childhood neglect and abuse, I find that amazingly admireable. I don't know why so many tend to bad talk about you. You are here helping people still. So what if you make money from it! We all need to make money. You are helping people nonetheless. I find you an admireable and amazing man! Please know that!

@servicedogchopper7613 5 лет назад

ICU8 12 Nope, didnt see that until you pointed it out. Doesnt the bottom of pans get dark once used? The small pan looks bran new and unused. But, he did say he does most cooking by microwave thus don't really use these pans. He said the copper one was part of a set. Maybe he used a different one at his mom's to know he loves them and then measured out the space on this one which then allowed him to learn how much it'll fit?

@travelinmyblood 5 лет назад

Bob was just in Oregon spending time with his Mom, who is not well. He said she bought a set of them. I assume he then went out and bought one for himself, when he was leaving Oregon. Also, Bob is being filmed for various shows, and has indicated that he cleaned up his van for filming. Perhaps his pots needed to be updated. Teflon pots need to be replaced regularly. I don't know, but it's possible, so I try not to judge.

Been cooking inside with propane inside for many many yrs. and never think twice about it.

And thanks to your past videos, I now use a one burner to heat and cook! Thanks Bob, you surely made my life easier and one less item in my tiny space!

@kathymack3791 5 лет назад

Hey Bob - great tips. As for the sanitizing spray, it's a bit pricey for what you get. After I bought a bottle of it (years ago), I started refilling if with my own mix. Basically a 10:1 ratio (10 parts water to one part bleach). A quart of pure bleach (be sure you don't get scented or the no splash type) will last you a very long time. And, the benefit of having a bottle of bleach around is you can make stronger solution - say for disinfecting your poo bucket or soaking white linens or clothing.

I am looking forward to one day being a nomad. I can never get rid of my cast iron! I'm an old school hill billy lady & we have all been taught that all gals need iron skillet for cooking due to monthly issues. Otherwise, we will need supplements & whatnot.

Bacteria can not live without moisture. That's why wood cutting boards are recommended as they dry out even in the cut marks, where plastic doesn't. I've cleaned with vinegar for years. Great info. Thanks Bob

@serenakoleno9338 3 года назад

Yes, I agree, got a great medium size bamboo board from Aldi's and love it. I knew a chef who ranted against restaurant rules that mandate plastic instead. It is not healthy to use. And dulls knives. If you do use them, clean with baking soda and vinegar or buy a spray bottle of peroxide at dollar tree. You can take a blade and periodically scrape excess plastic from cuts off. My plastic boards are badly stained. If stains get in, why not bacteria? Wood board can be sanded.

@SB_whatevers 2 года назад

@@serenakoleno9338 plastic doesn't dull knives, bamboo does. Bamboo is a grass so it has silica within its structure, which makes it incredibly hard. This is why bamboo is able to grow so tall. Silica is like glass, so it damages/scratches knife edges. Plastics are soft...very soft and this is why when you use a knife on plastic, you make gouges in it.

Hello Bob! I ordered your book today How to Live in a Van. I've lived in vehicles for most of my life. No kidding. I drove a semi truck for almost 30 years and lived in a truck for the most part. So naturally I've picked up some knowledge. But I am always open minded and realize there's almost certainly new information out there. Since I have been watching your channel for quite a while I've even learned a few things... Like if I cook in my van I will almost certainly die! ;-) Thanks for your enjoyable and knowledgeable videos!

Funny you made this video I've been cooking this way in my pickup truck for the last several months. I modified my truck so I have a bed cabinets and a small table to cook and eat on. I have one of those little cheap Coleman coffee pot burner for my stove. Anyway I seen you really liked the copper cooking pan well Walmart has a copper panni maker basically two small pans clamp together and that thing make great grilled cheese or sandwiches. But after I clean the copper pans I have I put a dab of olive oil on them and spread with a paper towel. This helps protect the pans finish and also makes clean up a lot easier. Also thanks for all the videos I think I may even have my wife convinced after seeing your videos that we don't need a house payment anymore, she let me get a used camper and we are going to be moving into it soon. I've been used to this life for most of 8 years I haul campers from the manufacturer to the dealership so most of the time I'm living in my pickup truck. Well I'll quit rambling thanks again for all the videos.

If you have the electrical system that can support it, an induction cooktop (IKEA) and a small "InstaPot" (Walmart/Amazon) will also work well-- just make sure your pots and pans will work with an induction cooktop-- (check them with a magnet-- if the magnet is attracted to the bottom, it will work). I like this idea, because I would not then need to have propane, and all of the issues that go with that.

Pam on the Lam has a 12 volt plug-in Road Pro frying pan for, I think, around $30 or so. She just cooks on a board or stand on her passenger seat and runs the car the 5 or 10 min. it takes to cook anything (maybe drive somewhere she has to go anyway to simmer), and she is done. The pan is as large as your square pan, Bob, so she can cook several portions to eat later or to share. She also has a Road Pro small oven too (same plug-in and price) she uses a lot.

Good advice all around, as always. We have an Aliner fold-up camper, so we have a sink that drains into a grey water container. We use Zep spray bottles to clean our dishes, too. I use one spray bottle with clean water and one spray bottle with water mixed with a bit of Dr,. Bonner's scent-free soap. I wipe out the dishes with a paper towel, then spray them with soapy water, rinse them with clean water over the sink, and then I dry them with a dish towel. Zep spray bottles and Costco paper towels have been the best for our use -- they are both cheap and durable. I started using the spray bottle approach to washing dishes when we camped in a car-top tent (a RoofNest Sparrow) and cooked outside because it uses less water. I still use this approach for the same reason. Thanks for the video.

Best sanitizer/cleaner for your pots in this cleaning method you show...1to1 water and vinegar. Half bottle water, half bottle white vinegar. For your counter tops, utensils and plates/bowls if not boiling water to wash...3parts water, 1 part vinegar (3/4 bottle water, 1/4 bottle vinegar.) . I worked in the food service industry as a chef for 35 yrs as well a teaching chef for another ten. This was my standby for cleaning over using chemical cleaners. Let everything air for about 10 min. and you won't have the vinegar taste later. Happy cooking.

@aseriesoftoobs 5 лет назад

This is from Washington state, my understanding is that most states have similar laws. "Alcoholic beverages-Drinking or open container in vehicle on highway-Exceptions." "(4) This section does not apply to a public conveyance that has been commercially chartered for group use or to the living quarters of a motor home or camper ... PROVIDED, That nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize possession or consumption of an alcoholic beverage by the operator of any vehicle while upon a highway." So as explained to me, by an attorney, the "living quarters" is pretty much any part of the RV not within arm's reach of the driver's seat.

Good tips. Thanks for the video. Never thought of using vodka as an antiseptic. Adding that to the idea file. Thanks for passing on your friend's tip.

Instead of buying Pam try mixing up your own spray oil. Use 1 cup of water to 1/4 cup of your favorite oil in a spray bottle. It works just as well and doesn't have all the additives as the spray cans, it's also a lot cheaper.

The copper colored pan is made by MOSS & STONE. BOB by your recommendation I purchased that pan. I absolutely love it. In fact I also purchased the smaller frying pan with lid. Clean up is so easy. Just wipe them clean with a paper towel, wash and rinse. These pans brown and cook meat perfectly, eggs are easy. A very good investment.
