This is our Trek in our Roadtrek 210P. Hint: Scroll to a list of "Topics and Destinations" on the right. Our RT is a portal to a much larger world and we have established "lily pads" from which we travel and we'll post about those, too. Life is a Journey of discovery in our Motorized Alpaca, a "tiny cabins on wheels". It has been said that "Life Begins at the end of our Comfort Zone." Content and photos are original unless noted.

One of our "home bases" is a 5th wheel. We discovered the oven door would not close completely. I removed and dismantled the door but was unable to make an adjustment that would properly hold the door shut.
I decided to add a hasp, and this is a short video about that. It works very well and I tested it out on a batch of cinnamon buns.
We cook a lot on the road. However, some things we haven't tried in the Roadtrek. One is my cinnamon buns and another is G's spaghetti sauce. Not that it cannot be done. However, to do so means carrying more stuff. The ingredients we can purchase locally. But the racks, pans, pots, rolling pin, dough mat and so on all add up.
I like to bake a lot of buns and so doing them from scratch in a microwave-convection oven has not been appealing to me. G likes to make a large pot of sauce. Same thing. On return to larger quarters and cooler weather she made a large pot of sauce. Her grandmother would make three times this in a single batch. There's a link to a short video after the photo.
Here's the way I like to make cinnamon buns. Haven't reduced the recipe to a dozen or so. That would be essential for doing them in the RT. However, we've been checking at some of our campgrounds and some have community cooking facilities. However, we would still have to carry the various tools to do this.
I did't make any buns this winter and G really missed them, as did I. I've got a series of videos over at Youtube about these. Here is the "Epilog". The related videos show just what a production it is.
