What to bring? What to leave? Every RVer knows the struggle when it comes to what to bring on your trips and what to leave behind. Kitchen appliances are no exception. Who has room for their toaster, espresso machine, Instant Pot, Kitchen Aid, and everything else that clutters counter space?
When you travel in your RV, do you bring an electric toaster with you? All of the time? Sometimes? Never? If you don’t bring it with you, perhaps the question for you is: If you had the room, would you bring an electric toaster with you? If you’re looking for a tiny toaster, here’s a small compact one.
Please tell us in the poll below. Thanks!
Toast makes any sandwich better. Besides the toaster is a great place to store those pesky potholders that always get lost.
Brilliant idea (potholder storage). We also use for frozen waffles, bagels, thick tortillas and more.
No toaster. Our lightweight stove-top griddle toasts & browns bread slices, bagels, English muffins, and anything else from pancakes to hashbrowns.
I usually bring a campfire…makes excellent toast if you know what you’re doing.
We use a Frying Pan, on the stove, Makes Great (Garlic) Toast. Saves space, no electric required.
Exactly what we use!
Stay safe, Joe
Toaster and coffee pot, single cup.
We don’t bring a toaster, t h e beast has one that stays on
Board full time.
Forgot the Mr. Coffee that been in two campwrs
the homemade bread i make before we hit the road makes the best toast ever so our toaster is always with us when we camp!!
My used Motorhome came with a toaster when I purchased it!
Vertical Toaster Oven.
I hope my wife doesnt see this article. We dont carry a toaster, but she frequently uses one at home for bread and frozen waffles. I wouldnt even notice if our toaster quit working.
Our RV kitchen contains the same elements of my S&B kitchen, so there’s an electric toaster as well as other small appliances. The RV is ready to go with little prep time, just add clothes and food, and off we go.
Multiple purpose is the key! I keep a B&D Convection Toaster Oven in the RV. Makes great toast, big enough to cook a pan of cornbread or bake a cake or cookies, even better, bake dinner without heating up the RV.
We have a Convection Toaster Oven in the outside kitchen. For the same reasons Jim mentioned.
For the few times we want toast, I have used an old fashioned Coleman camp stove collapsible toaster. If only one slice I just hold it over the flame with tongs. Much less storage space!
We have a 4 slice toaster in our coach besides our large convection micro-wave, a 3 burner stove and an oven. Besides the normal uses for our toaster, we use it to make grill cheese sandwiches. We were skeptical at first but those bags work and are reusable after washing. Just Google Grill Cheese Toaster Bags. They work, easy and fast.
Stay safe, Stay well
DW has to have her toaster oven!
My present unit does not have an oven. We really missed it for pizza and muffins. I found a unique toaster oven that accepts a 12″ pizza. Toast, bagels muffins pizza, the works. I made a frame to fit over the 2burner cooktop so it stays in place while traveling. More versatile than just a toaster.
We have a toaster that stays in the RV. Mostly use it for English muffins. I turn it upside down after every use and also pull out the crumb tray. Don’t want any crumbs in the cabinet where we keep it. I’m always careful about any loose food. When we get home from a trip we clean every little speck of food from all cabinets and any place we stored food. NO FOOD in the RV when we are not using it.
We do carry a toaster? How else could we toast our bagels and English muffins???
Can not be without our Toaster Oven especially for the Bagels, lately we have done our French Fries in it.👍
We use a toaster oven that serves more than 1 purpose.
We use a George Foreman grill. Works great, smaller than toaster and serves dual purpose
A full toaster oven.
My poor old toaster is the one you put over a flame and lean 4 pieces of toast on a wire and then turn them around when they are a nice golden brown. Oh heck, its’s BLT time.
We have one of those too!
We have a dedicated toaster and coffee maker can’t leave home without them.
Our toaster keeps setting off the smoke alarm. So step one is putting the alarm out of the way. We always put it back. Our toaster is the one you mentioned in your article. It was a gift from our son.
a toaster has been std equipment in all of our RVs since we started this adventure back in 1986.
Have a toaster and a Mr. Coffee, but when boondocking we use a stove top percolater or pour over decanter and a campstove folding toaster.
The Poll to answer is not there, same as yesterday ???
Like others have mentioned…. we have a toaster “oven” that we use when we are located at our rv resort. When we arrive, we pull it out of storage and put it back when we go home 5 months later. We do have a regular toaster that is dead weight, as we never use it but always carry it with us….you know, just in case.
We bring it but never hardly use it…yep I should donate it…thanks for the thought
Our toaster is a fixture in the motor home.I made a wooden tray that it sits in. Any crumbs stay in the tray
I also carry one for the campfire, it more or less burns the toast, it weighs about 3 ounces
How else would one make SOS?
Ha ha! Mike Sokol asked me the other day if I knew what “SOL” was (yes), and I asked him if he knew what SOS was (not having been in the military). Yes, he knew. And here it is again! I like it with chipped beef, but haven’t had it for many years (not the most nutritious meal). Take care. 🙂 —Diane at RVtravel.com
We bought a really cheap small plastic 2 slice toaster at a Target over 5 years ago…maybe $25…it’s much better than our Breville 4 slice at home, which only toasts 1 side.
Too funny. This is us. Only we have a 2 slicer from Walmart for $15. And yes, are Breville only toasts one side. What’s up with that?!
My Roadtrek came with a coffee maker. I don’t drink coffee, so I just replaced it with a toaster.
As an old school camper, I make my toast the same way I toast marshmallows or holding bread with tongs over a stove burner. I might get an over the fire toaster some day.
My wife and I are full timers, and yes we brought a toaster. I don’t want to have to start a fire just to make some toast. In addition, depending on where your campground is, some are not allowing outside fires.
Can’t help it. I like to have a peanut butter and jelly on toast for breakfast
That’s one of my favorites too. I have it at least 3 times a week.
Toast with peanut butter and strawberry jam is my favorite breakfast, 4 slice toaster stays in motorhome.
We carry a toaster oven and a toaster. Why both? Ask the wife!!
Yes, we have a small two slice pop up toaster combination toaster oven. A tenant left it behind in one of our rental units. It stays in our camper now. We also have a basic coffee maker that we use daily, but we keep a stovetop percolator in case we’re staying w/o shore power.
Toaster Oven! We try to get counter-top appliances that do more than one thing. A toaster oven can do 4-6 slices of toast, bake and broil. And it’s easy to move outside to use. 😉
Yes, one small one slot toaster
