General RV’s streaming series “Chef RV” is on the road in search of the best seafood on both of Florida’s coasts. Host Carlos Parisi is traveling in a Thor Sequence 20K Class B camper van throughout the Sunshine State.
The next stop on the trip brings Chef RV to Guanabanas in Jupiter for some fantastic tropical cuisine. After first opening as a sandwich shop in 2004, Guanabanas has grown into a southern Florida institution with an open-air feel and gourmet cuisine.
Executive Chef Vinny Trupia created a Caribbean and Latin-inspired menu featuring seafood sourced exclusively from the East Florida coast. Guanabanas also offers food truck and catering service, allowing them to take their award-winning cuisine to any location.
Gourmet Meals Anywhere You Roam in a Thor Sequence Class B Camper Van
Chef Vinny has cooked in a wide variety of kitchens, from the cozy confines of a food truck to the expansive lines of a full-service kitchen.
After grabbing a pan from the overhead cabinets in the Thor Sequence, Chef Vinny utilizes the two-burner gas cooktop to perfectly sauté the grouper. The countertop cover over the single bowl sink provided an ideal area to plate the zoodles (zucchini noodles) and grouper. Chef Vinny adds a touch of comfort food to the dish by preparing a creamy corn pudding. Pair everything with the mango salsa and this tropical gourmet meal is ready to serve.

Cook Like the Pros On the Road with Chef RV
Cooking in the Thor Sequence was a joyous culinary experience for Chef Vinny. Despite his larger frame, he says he was quite comfortable cooking inside the Class B camper van and had plenty of room with all of the amenities he would need. The two-burner propane gas cooktop was also a pleasant surprise. Chef Vinny was expecting far less inside the Thor Sequence.
Built on the Ram ProMaster chassis, the Thor Sequence’s 3.6-liter gasoline V6 engine has the power to get you anywhere you want to go. Its off-grid capability is where the Thor Sequence truly shines.
