Provisioning suggestions?

[maxandgeorgia]

Now that at last we have the AS of our dreams and the tow vehicle to safely pull her, we are ready to provision for our first trip! We have most of the basics from our years of camping, but we have a few questions that we are asking for help to solve. 1. We have moved to our AS from an SOB that had a great feature: a built-in, gas-line-connected, two burner outdoor stove that we loved and used all the time. When we travel and camp, our objective is to be outside as much as possible, including cooking and dining. We have lost that advantage with our new AS, yet we really do not want to cook indoors with the resulting clean up and odors unless weather forces us. So, what do you do for outdoor cooking? What is handy, easy to use, produces tasty meals, and is reasonable in cost? Are you using small tank propane? Is there a safe way to connect a stove to the propane tanks on the trailer? 2. Has anyone replaced the nearly useless small double sink with a single sink in the identical space? What have you found and where? 3. Do you add the Maxx Air Vent covers over the existing vents for protection for when you run the vents during wet weather? We have a hand cranked fan vent in the front LR area and a Fantastic Fan in the BR. (By the way, are these adequate to handle the humidity of morning showers? Tips?) If you recommend them, is there anything special we need to know about installing these Maxx covers on an AS (aluminum)? Do it ourselves or need a pro? 4. What other special provisioning have you done that has made your AS work better for you that we haven't thought of yet? 5. One thing we HAVE done that is going to make every trip better is the purchase of a 2" Miracle Foam mattress pad with cover at Sam's Club. What a difference it makes in that hard as a rock AS mattress! It was so good that I went back and bought one for our bed in the house! Thanks for all the tips you can give us as we decide what provisioning we need to get "Gypsy" ready to go on the road! (Can't wait!)
