I definitely indulge in restaurant meals when I travel because I rarely eat
"out" when I'm at home. We like to stay in those Extended Stay hotels with
a full kitchen where cooking is an option. In such cases I cook like I
would at home (exception being, there is no oven). I cook fish or chicken
on the stovetop; cook pasta to go with, then the next night, leftover pasta
mixed with sauteed veggies. Pretty simple and tasty.

I have never tried to cook in an RV, although we have some friends who also
do art shows who travel to the various shows in an RV and they do pretty
well with it. You should be able to eat healthy meals regardless. If you
have an RV you have cooking implements, a stove, a fridge, and a cooler if
not a freezer; you should be able to continue with preparing nutritious
meals. It's just a smaller kitchen, isn't it? So make what is "convenient"
(aka conveniently eating out) a trip to a local grocery store and
conveniently use leftovers. For example, some pasta as a side dish to fish
one night turns into pasta in a sauce tossed with sauteed veggies the next
night
