I usually cook ahead of time and freeze the food, will they have a freezer? Would you be able to do basic prep of veggies and meals, put them in a ziplock bag and they can then add the protein? And though you did not mention a crockpot I use a crockpot ALOT when we are in the motorhome, especially on travel days, I put the food in the crockpot and then put the crockpot in the kitchen sink when we are driving, this also works in the campground .. when we get back from a day of sightseeing it's great to have dinner waiting. I always use a crockpot liner to make cleanup easier. There will probably be a firepit for the prep of chicken, steaks, eggs, pancakes, sausage. . .

When I use to camp I did the same thing. I would freeze spagetti sauce and then just boil the pasta and warm up the sauce or freeze meat for tacos and then just get the toppings ready.

@RollTide2008 - What a wonderful time they all will have! I can't help much, but I will offer this: When DS is home in the summer, he and 3 of his high school friends spend a long weekend in the mountains. They stay at a small cabin on a lake that belongs to the twins' parents.
DH and one of his friends do the cooking. They use one pan for everything. I know they make a vegetarian curry dish and a chicken and noodle dish. I think they do go out one night. They make eggs and bacon for breakfast every day. I'm not sure what they do for lunch. They take chips and other snacks.
They have done this every year since high school graduation. They all went to different colleges. I just remember how impressed I was that they were making their own food!

We RV often. We have two of them. One for the road and one in a permanent site. We have been traveling in an RV for over 25 years.
Right now I'm staying in our permanent RV until Saturday and we often spend the whole month of February in Florida in our over the road RV.
Since there is a cook top, any meals that can be made at home can be made on the road. I make bacon and eggs for breakfast or French toast.
Lunch is soup and sandwiches or whatever.
Dinner is steak, pork or lamb chops, chicken....with rice or potatoes. Whatever you cook at home, you can cook in an RV.
The fridge/freezer is small so grocery shopping will be frequent.
I wouldn't worry about planning meals ahead of time, five guys will probably do take-out or go out to eat a lot and they will be food shopping at least once a week.
Load up with snacks and make sure there is a large high sided frying pan on board. It can be used to cook and boil water for pasta, etc. A large deep pot takes forever to get the water boiling on an RV stove.
I suggest a large cooler; we have an electric one as well as one that holds ice. They will need someway to keep a lot of drinks cold. An RV fridge doesn't hold much.
Take extra towels. They're going to be using them a lot and will probably have to visit a laundry a few times, but five guys in an RV with little space to hang wet towels is going to be rough.
A folding clothes rack to dry towels outside will be a blessing.
It sounds like a fun trip.

If it is like any 5 young men I've ever known they will eat out, do take out, eat sandwhiches and pizza, cereal and bananas and soup or canned baked beans.
Don't worry about what they will eat. If they are old enough to travel and follow bands, they will find food and they won't have meal times anyway. Catch as catch can. Bands have odd schedules and travel times.
