Motorhome Review – Roadpro 12V Slow Cooker

April 18, 2012/2 Comments/in Cook in a Camper, Motorhome Kit
Description of It This is a small slow cooker, which runs off a motorhome (car/van/lorry/caravan) 12V supply. The glass lid can be held in place while using an elastic safety strap which comes with it.
How We Use It The slow cooker sits in our motorhome sink while we travel, and is connected into a 12V socket above the sink. We have tried filling it with raw cut vegetables and water, but have found they don’t cook, even after eight hours. We were about to sell it when we read we’d over-filled it. We tried again, with it about half full of liquid and meat. It cooked it up a treat, but there wasn’t much of it. We tend to use it while driving to minimise load on the leisure battery, but we don’t drive for eight hours at a time and it’s not flattened the battery yet.

2017 Update – The motorhome slow cooker never really worked out for us. When we bought our new motorhome it came with a Remoska which is great for when we have hook-up (it’s like a little portable oven) and we also bought a double skillet for day to day cooking on the hob. We have also met folks who swear by slow and thermal cooking in their motorhomes using products like Mr D’s Thermal Cooker or Wonderbag, the non-electric slow cooker.

What Do We Love?
  • On a long drive, we can load it up in the morning and have tender meat ready for us in the evening
  • The lid is really well secured with the elastic strap – we’ve had no spills yet
And What’s Not so Great?
  • It’s not very big – OK for the two of us but not family-sized
  • Don’t fill it to the top and expect it to cook it all – half full of liquid is the most we’ve had from it
Our Summary We’ve not used it all that much, and due to our early failure to actually cook anything we can’t go above 3 stars.
Where Can I Get It? We can’t see this product available on Amazon any more, which is where we bought it from. There are some on eBay and you sometimes find them at Motorhome and Caravan shows.

    Hi.
    It seems very unfair to me to cut down the score you give an item because you didn’t know how to use it properly when you first tried it.

    I had a mains slow cooker years ago, and the instructions clearly stated it should only be filled to half full.

    I have no vested interest in this cooker, apart from thinking about buying one for my narrowboat.
