Been there a few times. Car, too. If you can afford it, they sell hot plates/plug in coolers at Walmart. But my suggestion is a deep fryer. Not the square one, the round one. If you take the basket out, it’s essentially just a large pot. You can do anything in it you’d do in a skillet, but can also boil water or make soup. They’re invaluable in those situations. Depending on the size of the hotel mini fridge, you can normally get a thing of chicken leg quarters in it. That and some veggies and you can make a million different meals. Hit me up if you want any advice, I’ve seriously been down that road, and it’s not easy, but there are some tips and tricks that make a lot more bearable.
Thank you, this is good stuff. The fridge is pretty fucking small, and they seem to have a strict absolutely no cooking in the room rule. They have outdoor grills, but then I have to get charcoal and learn how with out ruining the food. Can’t spare any. I’m so sick of moving or I’d try to find a slightly better motel
Most places have that same rule. I just ignore it and do my best to never cook anything too fragrant. Cookint in the bathroom with the fan on helps, too. I’ve also cooked in my car, but that requires a pretty beefy inverter and uses gasoline. Might be able to get away with running a drop cord but that’s a case by case.
Man, you really make shit work. I really do appreciate all of this advice. I’ll have to put some more thought into it, but the real hope is to find a new place, so I don’t wanna invest too much. Also, the bathroom fan is broken. This place is pretty cheap lol

Had to. Lol. I’ve lived in my car and I’m hotels a few times. To be honest, car is easier if you’re alone. Cheaper, too, most days.
I really hope you find something decent
Got my partner, a 65lb dog, and 2 cats, so the car is a no go. I’m not entirely with out help, but the more I can make it stretch the better
