Guide to Mini Appliances for RV Living & Cooking

I am always looking for ways to save space in the RV while not losing too many of the comforts of home.  And one of the biggest problems was too many of the kitchen appliances I use at home are just too bulky and heavy to keep in the RV… then I discovered these brand new mini appliances!

See how perfect they would be when you need to save space?  They would actually fit in those tiny RV cupboards!  And when you are already struggling with weight issues in your RV, you can bring some of these without feeling guilty as if you brought the heavy full-sized version from home.

Cooking with these types of mini appliances are becoming more popular and there are websites with a ton of recipes for them too.

And it isn’t just things like a skillet, grill or waffle maker.   There are mini bread machines, pie makers, egg bites maker, toaster ovens, rice cookers that do double duty for making soups too… some other types of mini appliances?  How about a compact-sized air fryer to make healthy french fries on the road?

Many of your favorite recipes can be converted to these small appliances too – for example, it is easy to reduce regular slow cooker recipes for the smaller one we feature here.  Or you trade-off appliance side with having to make waffles individually rather than 2-4 at a time like the full sized waffle maker.  And having fresh bread without having to venture from the RV park or campground is amazing.

Here are our favorites for mini appliances that are perfect for your RV.
