Van Life: Cooking with a RoadPro 12-Volt Roaster & Bluetti Power Station

We made the best Thanksgiving dinner, which was quick and easy, in our van using the RoadPro 12 volt portable roaster/ roasting pan and our Bluetti EB55 power station. How-to cook stuffed Cornish Game Hens.

About us:
We are Derec & Tanya. Welcome to our channel! We believe nature is the best medicine. We love the outdoors & have found healing in nature. So whether we are traveling around in our tiny home on wheels, named Betty White, or at our base camp, Chalet Chumley, we like to focus on outdoor living & the benefits it can bring to your life!
We also share disability related content because, after all, it is a part of our everyday lives & the challenges we face as an interabled, disabled couple. You may also find Tanya doing solo van trips, or easy van meals...or Derec out having fun in his 4x4 wheelchair or grilling it up in his wheelchair friendly outdoor kitchen.
So we hope you will roll along with us! Haha get it... ROLL as is...on wheels (with both the wheels on the van or the wheelchair). We also are pretty funny! Just watch a live stream & you will see.

    Really enjoyable video. The Roaster is a great idea for 12V cooking. I recently looked at the same one at a Truck Stop thinking it would be a great option for our Chevy Classic Explorer Co Conversion Van. Your meal looked yummy 😋 😍 and not complicated so it would also work well in our Motorcoach for boondocking too. Yep, adding it to my kitchenware for sure! Thanks 😊 🙏 SHALOM (PEACE AND FREEDOMS) ALWAYS BE YOURS.

    Hi, Vanlife Voyages: Thank you for testing the 12v Roaster out along with the Blueetti, this is great information for me to know as I start looking toward living on the road full time, within the near future. Hi, Tanya: Please thank your husband for his service in the Navy, my father spent 22 years in the Navy serving his country as well and I'm always grateful for the sacrifices that men and women in service make for their country. Gunner is a very beautiful German Shepard, he looks like a handful but a very loving dog. All my best always

    Question about that roaster. I see the top lid clamps down. Is there a rubber seal that stops steam from getting out? Would it stop liquid from getting out if it was accidentally tilted or sloshed around too?

  • @VanLifeVoyages

    @VanLifeVoyages

    7 ай бұрын

    Yes...there is a seal. Nothing can slosh around. It makes like an oven that cooks at 250 degrees, so cook times need to be adjusted accordingly.

    For us as a back up battery it is perfect! We already have a 200ah Renogy Battery. I like how it has a bigger inverter than other batteries its size. Because of that, I can use other appliances that are over 600watts.
