<< This coming summer my husband wants to take our family, including our two
 boys allergic to dairy,egg, nuts and peanuts on a two week traveling
 vacation.  My hesitation is how to plan for that much travel without a
 stove or microwave.

 I am curious what others have found to work when traveling.   Has anyone
 seen a microwave that can be plugged into a car?  Any other experiences
 that have helped?

My husband has installed an "inverter" in our van --  it is wired in to change
the 12v supply from our car battery to 110v so that we can plug in small TV,
VCR, plug-in type travel cooler, etc.  Ours is 200 watts and is fine for those
items -- for a microwave you'd want at least 800 watts, but 1000 watts would
be better.  The 200 watt inverter costs about $100, but for the 1000 watts you
will pay at least $500 (from an auto supply catalog -- more from an RV supply
store).  If you aren't handy installing that kind of thing, an RV or auto
repair place can install it into your vehicle (it's simple to wire in if you
know what you are doing).  Then you can plug in a microwave.  But only use it
while your vehicle is running or you will run your battery down.

However, that said, we traveled for two weeks last summer with my daughter
very strictly off dairy products -- but we used our travel trailer.  I don't
know how we would have done it otherwise.  There was no way I was going to
rely on restaurants along the way to provide "safe" meals, and it would only
take one reaction to completely ruin a vacation.  If you at least stayed in
motels with a small refrigerator and took (or rented) your own microwave, you
might be able to get along.
