camping car 8 place image

15 people, 1 car, camping, lake. How? Foods, car activities, anything?
Answer
15 people + 1 car = impossible. How are you going to fit everyone's gear in, let alone 15 people? First of all, I suggest you rent a couple of vans for the occasion. There is no way you will be able to fit everything in one. And you wouldn't want to skimp on gear would you?
As far as activities in the car go, you can play some games, including:
- The Packing Game: as a group, you decide on a location. Then everyone goes around and says something they are going to bring. The first person starts with the letter A, next person with the letter B, and so on. The catch is, you have to remember what everyone else said in order after you said what you will bring.
- Twenty Questions (Animal, Vegetable, Mineral)
- The ABC Game: have to look for all the letters of the alphabet in order, can use license plates, billboards, etc.
- The Animal Game: you go around and say the name of an animal, and the next person has to say an animal that starts with the last letter of the animal the last person named. You can switch it up too, do geographical locations or cities.
Also, nothing is better for road tripping than singing really loud and annoying songs. That's usually how our road trips go anyways.
As far as food goes, you can really do anything. Some of our favorites are:
Pie Iron Pizzas:
Loaf of bread
1 jar pizza sauce
1 4-cup bag shredded mozzarella cheese
1 bag pepperoni
Other toppings as needed (mushrooms, peppers, etc.)
Garlic powder
Cooking spray
Pie irons
Spray the inside of your pie iron with cooking spray. Take two slices of bread, and spray one side of each with a bit more cooking spray. Sprinkle with garlic powder. To the other side of one slice, add pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Put other slice on top. Close pie iron. Place over hot coals on the fire until cheese is melted and sauce is hot. Serves 10+
Hamburger Dinner:
2 lb ground beef
8 potatoes
8 carrots
1 onion
salt & pepper to taste
aluminum foil
Divide meat into 8 portions. Shape each portion into a patty and place on a sheet of aluminum foil. Wash potatoes and carrots well. Cut into thin slices, divide into 8 portions, and place on top of hamburger patties. Add sliced onion and salt/pepper if desired. Wrap with foil using heavy duty foil. Cook on rack about 1 inch over coals for 15 minutes on one side and 5 minutes on the other. Serves 8.
Sunshine Enchiladas:
2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, chopped
32 oz chili beans
1 c ketchup
8 oz tomato juice
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 bag corn chips (we prefer Fritos)
salt & pepper
chili seasoning
Brown meat and onion together in kettle. Add chili beans, seasonings, ketchup, and tomato juice. Cook, stirring frequently for 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir. Serve over corn chips. Serves 10. Great for a portable meal as well, if you get individual bags of Fritos you can pull all the fixins in there, grab a fork and take it anywhere! Serves 10.
Chicken and Rice:
2 c cooked, boned chicken (we bring a few cans of chicken - super easy and portable)
10 oz cream of mushroom soup
10 oz cream of chicken soup
1 c milk
2 c minute rice
water
Drain broth from chicken and add water to the broth to make 2 cups. Combine chicken broth, milk, and soups in a kettle. Stir well and bring to a boil. Dice chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to boiling mixture. Bring to a boil again and add rice and stir. Remove from heat, cover, let stand until rice is tender. Serves 4-6. This one is super easy because you can make it in one pot!
Good luck!

How much does it cost to travel across America for 4-8 weeks?
Matt Hawki
I'm British and a few friends and I want to travel across America for 4-8 weeks to take in as much as possible. Were thinking of flying to the west coast and traveling across to New York to return home. Will probably drive a car and sleep in car/camp and maybe use motels/hotels every few days.
thanks.
Answer
Depending on the MPG the car will get will depend on the cost of gas. From San Francisco to New York is 2909 miles and if your car get 25 mpg you will be looking at a gas cost of $380 approx. (from Mapquest.com)
The mileage from Los Angeles to New York is 2786 and In my opinion would be a better route because you could see the Grand Canyon (a few miles out of route) and gas prices are a bit cheaper in Oklahoma and Missouri saving some money.
Motel rooms will cost anywhere from 50 to 150 depending on where you want to stay. If it was me I would plan on driving 500 to 700 miles a day and then plan my stops out and go to Expedia.com, Priceline.com, or cheaphotels.com and get great prices on rooms. The more you plan out the more you can save. Also if u will be camping look at KOA.com (Kampgrounds of America) to see locations and get deals.
Please don't camp at rest areas along the route, in some states it is illegal and in some places you will be robbed.
