Just Like Home: Cooking in Your Luxury Motorcoach Rental is Easy

One of life’s most precious luxuries is spending time with family and friends, particularly over a shared meal. The beauty of traveling in a luxury motorcoach rental is that you have the choice of experiencing new cuisine at a fine restaurant in a city that you are visiting, or you can cook or bake a delicious meal while parked in a scenic location along your journey.

 

Our LiTRV team rents Class A motorcoaches for vacation adventures, one-way trips, such as a move to another city, and other travel needs. These are the most extravagant RVs on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Some people refer to them as “land yachts” since they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher. 

 

A Closer Look at the Kitchen in a Luxury Motorcoach Rental

 

Whether you love to experiment with recipes or you’re seeking the most convenient way to get breakfast or dinner on the table, you’ll appreciate having a fully equipped kitchen on the motorcoach.  

 

Unlike a hotel room with a mini-fridge, your luxury motorcoach rental features a full-size, residential-style refrigerator with a freezer. Some of our clients start their trip packing the fridge with fresh produce, meats, beverages and desserts, while others stop and shop along the way. 

 

Class A motorcoaches come equipped with a heat-induction range, featuring two to three burners and a convection microwave, making it easy for you to sauté vegetables, or cook and reheat meals. Induction cooking works by using magnetic induction to directly heat pots and pans, so special cookware is required, such flat-bottomed cast iron, steel, enameled iron, stainless steel and nickel pans. This is a fast, safe, energy-efficient way of cooking, and because less heat is lost in the cooking process, the internal temperature in the motorcoach remains comfortable. Our LiTRV team will make sure the motorcoach rental is equipped with a full range of pots, pans, dishes, plates, cups/glasses, utensils, cooking utensils and small appliances.

 

Many luxury motorcoaches also feature granite or quartz countertops, making it easy for you to chop vegetables or roll out dough. We recommend pre-chopping vegetables or pre-cooking ingredients to make your meal preparation faster or easier. Also, use stackable containers, collapsible bowls, and magnetic spice racks to maximize storage.

 

After you’ve enjoyed your meal, you can wash some dishes in the sink, but you also have a dishwasher available, which helps to save time.

 

Cook or Grill Outside in Your Luxury Motorcoach Rental

 

 

If the weather permits, you can also cook outside. Enjoy breakfast while the sun rises or relax with family and friends while you cook dinner under the open sky. Most luxury motorcoaches come with retractable awnings and outdoor entertainment systems, so you can create the perfect ambiance while you cook and dine outdoors. Our LiTRV team can also work with you to create a customized outdoor patio to meet your needs. In addition, some luxury RV resort offers a premier site with an expansive outdoor patio, including a casita, private lot, custom barbecue grills and entertainment areas.

 

Here are some breakfast and dinner recipes you might want to try in your luxury motorcoach rental, including two vegan options.
