Field-Tested Gear
On the road, every tool has to pull its weight
and earn its place in the cupboard.
We share what we actually use — what works, what doesn’t,
and how we made it work when it wouldn’t on its own.
Camerons Stovetop Smoker
“We smoked fresh salmon on an induction burner, and achieved the genuine smoked experience!”
Small size, great results, worth it’s weight when space is limited.
Meet Kim, the Mind Behind the Meals
The Mobile Gourmet of RVcuisine.com
Kim’s life has always lived at the intersection of precision and creativity.
An MBA and business transformation strategist, she spent two decades helping major organizations rethink how they work — leading initiatives for global telecom, food and beverage, and healthcare firms, advising government agencies on supply chain risk, and serving in leadership roles including fractional COO and board chair. Her work with firms such as Accenture and RSM carried her across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and South America — and every destination became an opportunity to explore local culture through its food and ingredients.
Long before boardrooms and transformation strategies, Kim studied Environmental Design at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design, where creativity wasn’t constrained by financials. She later worked in architecture as a large-project PM and Lean Design Lead, shaping spaces where form, function, and human experience meet. Creativity, user experience, and problem-solving have always defined her approach.
In a large home kitchen filled with professional-grade appliances and specialty tools, Kim explored flavors and techniques as a creative outlet. But years of travel, boating, and camping began reshaping how she thought about food, resources, and lifestyle. When she and her husband Dean chose a mobile life, the constraints of a compact RV kitchen could have meant compromise.
Instead, Kim saw a creative frontier.
Borrowing “fail fast” experimentation and Lean piloting from the strategy playbook, she began blending techniques, cultures, and ingredients in ways some might call fusion cuisine. Drawing on a lifelong mix of efficiency, design thinking, and ingenuity, she transformed constraint into possibility — proving that gourmet meals don’t require a large kitchen or a perfect pantry, only imagination and resourcefulness.
Today, Kim turns limited space, local ingredients, and inventive tools into extraordinary meals on the road — because great food isn’t defined by where you cook.
It’s defined by the creativity behind the bite.
