Just a quick question to the full-timers from a gonnabe. I was just curious to know if Thanksgiving day is just another day on the road or do you make a traditional meal in your RV's? I know those ovens can be a little small and you probably wouldn't cook a 20 lb. bird for two people anyways.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Many campgrounds celebrate the holidays by providing the main course and having a pot luck dinner with whoever wants to participate.
We tend to do our own thing, and cook a turkey breast with all the fixings for ourselves. And we do something similar for Christmas.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Just finished our traditional Thanksgiving spred for two -- turkey breast, candied yams, dressing, green beans, gravy, rolls and cranberries.
Takes a little planning and logistics, but it was all pronounced great! Biggest challenge today was it kept raining so a little tough getting the turkey done on the grill.
Happy Thanksgiving!
btw, feeling very blessed as we look out at the family in the popup with the tarp over the top with rain in temps dropping to the 20's tonight.

If we didn't come back to Florida for the Holidays there would be alot of unhappy family for us !!! We come back to see our grandkids, and kids. Our oldest daughter took over the job of "Chef" when we retired and bought the RV.....she does an excellent job....and the best part is I don't have to cook it. I only have to make the gravy and my hubby gets to carve the bird. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

In the past we have done the traditional dinner-just for two in the coach. The last several years we have been at the same RV park with the same neighbors, so we have a "neighborhood potluck" ....today there were 16 of us sharing a grill cooked turkey and all the trimings on the patio...wearing lots of layers as Arizona is having its coldest Thanksgiving in 80 years. We bypassed the clubhouse dinner as they "move 'em in and move 'em out" while we lingered over our dessert and wine!

We do a 10# turkey in the convection oven and all the trimmings. The bigger problem is where to store the leftovers.

I'm still in the stix and brix, but our church does a Thanksgiving dinner potluck we've gone to before. I plan on visiting different churchs as we travel, and if we are away from family I will see if they do this too.

We were with old friends this Thanksgiving. They cooked a delicious meal and we did the dishes for them. :)

We are not on the road full time either Back east we used to plan a camping trip during Thanksgiving break, the kids were out of school and the campgrounds always had lots of space available. We usually went to Oconee State Park (SC) and we even had a dusting of snow on Thanksgiving Day one year. Your right about the RV oven being too small to prepare a large turkey, we usually bought a Honeybaked Ham and we prepared the rest of the feast in the camper when we got set up. If it were just the two of us, I would probably opt out of cooking since so many restaurants/campgrounds have a buffet on Turkey Day.

Thanks for all the great replies. Not being out there yet just kind of made me want to know what other people are doing. I am glad that there a lot of options and opportunities for everyone. It really does seem to be a large community out there which is great.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
