I love camping/rving! Here are some favorite crockpots that would work. Also, we always make my husband's chili and have it once with fritos, etc. and another time with chili dogs or over hamburgers.

Crockpot Corn and Sausage Chowder

* 2 cups water

Also, here's the chili recipe...to die for!
Chili
2 lbs ground beef
2-3 large cans of crushed tomatoes
1 large can of chopped green chiles
3-4 cans of beans (I like red kidney and black, but pintos are goods too)
6 cloves of garlic (I use more most of the time, but we really like our garlic)
1 large onion chopped
2 Tbs cumin (more is good too)
4-6 Tbs chili powder (McCormick is good, but I use different varieties too)
Brown the meat with the garlic and onion. The place the meat in the crock pot and add all of the canned items, the cumin, and the chili powder. Stir and let it get to know itself for at least three hours. I usually don't have to add any liquid as the beans and tomatoes generally have enough. However, I have been known to add beer if I need additional liquid - American lager works well for this.
And his great burrito recipe, which we always make while camping...
Want Mexican? This is the best burrito recipe from my wonderful hunk of a husband:
Best Burritos Ever…
1 lb. hamburger
1 can refried beans with lime
4 little cans chopped green chilis
1 Tbsp. Cumin
Sharp cheddar cheese
1 pkg flour torillas
Sour cream (optional)
Salsa (optional)
Brown the hamburger. Drain the grease. Combine the beans, chilis and cumin. Cook until hot. Put 1/4 cup cheese in tortilla and microwave for 20 seconds. Fill with meat mixure and sour cream and salsa. Fold. Enjoy.
Also, we love to play cards and have dip and chips. This is our favorite dip recipe:
This is the best and easiest dip recipe, and people always rave! I tell them it’s really hard to make (lol):
Cream Cheese Dip
2 large blocks of cream cheese
1 large jar Pace picante (medium)-use most of the jar
Soften cream cheese and mix with hand mixer until smooth. Add picante and mix with hand mixer. Leave in frig for a few hours to blend flavors. Serve with chips.
I know it seems too simple to be great, but it is!
Hope one or more become your favorite family camping recipes.

Walmart has the Company's Coming Crock Pot cookbook. You should get it.
Crock Pot
Our fave is
Chicken Breasts (4 or so)
1 cup of sour cream
1 can of cream soup
Cook on low heat for 6 hours and serve over rice.
BBQ ribs are my sons fave. Brown some boneless ribs and then stick in crock pot. Cover with BBQ sauce and cook on low heat until done (I cook all day).
Chili in the crock pot is very easy.
Also, you can put chicken pieces in the pot with a bottle of bbq sauce. Once it is cooked just use a fork to pull the chicken apart. Serve on buns with pickles and potato salad or coleslaw.
Use the waffle maker to press sandwiches. Just put turkey, ham, or favorite lunch meat with cheese slices on favorite bread. Then, spread the outside of slices with margarine or butter and place in waffle maker. I like to put cranberries on turkey and then press.
almost any good casserole recipe works wonders in crockpot!!! just pick you favorite casserole recipes and plan on them.

3/4 C milk
2/3 C bread crumbs
2 t grated onion
