if we happen to be in a town and can't find anything to eat
That just won't happen!
I'm with Muvesz: it's not a problem to find vegan food to eat in Oslo. The same is true for all other Scandinavian cities I've been to.
Last time I checked, Happy Cow had some good recommendations for Oslo, and here are some more, based on my personal preferences:
Best Indian: New Anarkali. Thorvald Meyers gate 76. They are really good at making vegan versions of lacto-veg dishes.
Best hummus: Carmel Grill, Dronningens gate 27Best Mexican: Mucho Mas (two locations, try Thorvald Meyers gate 36 first!). The guacamole isn't vegan, so they'll give you half an avocado instead, if you say you're a vegan.
There's also a great Thai place near Bislett in Oslo (I think it's Tasty Thai, Thereses gate 51e), with many vegan menu options. Really good food.
I could give you many other recommendations for really tasty vegan food, but unless you'll stay there for weeks, you won't be able to check them all out.
Then there's the veggie places and other places recommended by HappyCow: Vega, Habibi...
I've lived in Oslo for 15+ years, and it's becoming increasingly easy to find great vegan food there for a long time. All restaurants will make something vegan for you ask for it. And Stockholm is even easier, at least when it comes to dedicated veg places...

Check other threads with Norway or Oslo in the thread title, and you'll find more info. We also have threads about other Scandinavian areas.
ETA: Apparenty Yamas, a Greek, small place with vegan options) (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Yamas...17784394919914 and http://www.yelp.no/biz/yamas-oslo) is also good.
