Pricey RV kitchen brings in the big bucks

Not only does Chef Robért Lamkin have a kitchen in his RV that cost more than $300,000, Robért (pronounced Ro-bear) hobnobs with the movie stars. He takes his RV on location, feeding film crews.

Acording to the Denver Post, "Robért runs his movie-catering operation from a 35-foot RV, a double grill/trailer and a truck with a built-in, walk-in fridge. It's like the ultimate covered wagon, complete with three convection ovens, a six-burner stove with a grill and a 20-gallon coffee urn. One of seven in his fleet, this flagship kitchen cost about $300,000, plus $75,000 in extra gear, and the support truck, about $150,000."

Robért has been feeding actors for eighteen years and got his start on the set of Dances with Wolves. Read the entire article about his unique experiences and celebrities he has cooked for here.

Robért's business (and reputation) took time to build and capital to custom-build an RV to suit his needs. His success shows the versatility of RVs and that you are only limited by your imagination in having an RV-based business. Jaimie
