English term or phrase: chuck wagon
Die überdachten Pferde- und Viehwagen der Siedler, wie in jedem Western zu sehen. Gibt es dafür einen deutschen Begriff? Wörterbücher und Internet haben bisher nicht geholfen.

Das wird ein Suchbegriff für die Webseite einer Veranstaltungsfirma.

Ganz vielen Dank für jeden Vorschlag!

Kochwagen


Explanation:
Kochwagen der Cowboys (mit Bild)
http://zinnfigur.com/Newsletter/082004/Andrea.asp

In the early days of the great trail drives the cowhand had to make do with what he could carry with him. This caused some rather hungry, uncomfortable times on the trail. Texas rancher Charles Goodnight saw an opportunity to fill this basic need and in 1866 created the prototype for the chuck wagon.

The chuck box was comprised of a number of shelves and drawers to hold what the cook would need over the course of the day. Once the hinged lid was dropped down to serve as a work surface the cook had everything he needed within easy reach. The boot carried the Dutch ovens and other cooking utensils the cook would need to provide hot meals for ten or more cowboys on long trail drives.

i.e. the 'chuck wagon' was a specific variation on the general all-purpose 'covered wagon' (Planwagen)

Sorry, I didn't realise you actually wanted the translation for 'covered wagon'.

Sorry, Nicole, but despite your added note I can't understand the criteria you employed here.

Leaving that aside, I note that you have now entered 'chuck wagon = Planwagen' in the Kudoz glossary...

agree  Melanie Nassar: Right, you have to get the cooking part in there somehow, otherwise it would just be a covered wagon.
