I'd keep it simple. That means maybe a backpacking stove and collapsible dish pan. A battery powered fan, lawn chair and small quickly collapsible table would suffice, if you want to be outside to do stuff. All this is widely available and easy to throw in and get out quickly and by other folks if you are somewhere else. (Speaking as one who was out digging fireline while hearing that our camp, with my supply of CLEAN socks was being evacuated.) I'd keep it simple if you are concerned about evacuating an area quickly. Very simple. But, that's just me, and I do understand about making things comfortable in such situations. You have to weigh comfort vs conveniance and come up with what is going to work. For me, that would be stuff that can be thrown in the back of a truck with trailer hitched up.

OH I have done the tent and ground thing too. Mostly they put you in a shelter. There also is the option of the couch at the fire station. It was almost always donated when it was too lumpy. And it only got lumpier. The first trip I made down for Katrina recovery we didn't even have tents. We had sleeping bags on the ground with tarps between vehicles. I remember how thankful we were to get to strip bare ass in a parking lot and do a shower in the middle of a parking lot with a garden hose. One of the reasons I got the camper is that I got tired of that kind of housing.
I usually do some of the group cooking at times. One of the reasons for this.

All of this stuff about outside kitchens should be in its own thread.

I was thinking you should ask for this thread to be locked up, since you're no longer leaving the molded fiberglass world.
Food for thought,
Perry

I left the molded fiberglass world in 2019, but I'm still interested in them. So much of the conversation is about things other than the molded aspect of these trailers, such as electrical, suspension, towing, tires, brakes solar, etc. All subjects related to any construction method. And the considerations discussed as to why someone leaves, doesn't leave, or changes their mind and why, are all worth looking at. Post comments tend to wander around quite a bit. Fine. That's what makes it interesting.

Oh, I know, and don't really care, but this one got quite fully hijacked into another (unrelated) direction.
