Hi!! I’m watching your RV hack video and I wanted to share that instead of keeping bath towels in a cupboard, I bought a wine rack that hangs on the wall. I can roll eight towels and not use any treasured space!!

[Upcycledbaglady]

We keep a small dry erase board inside a cupboard. We put the campground address and our campsite number on it so we can call in case of fire.

We always put cute socks on our cups/bottles to help prevent noise during travel (instead of towels?) and to help absorb condensation while using - which also prevents water rings on tables from non-insulated cold drink cups. Sock sizes vary to fit container size and a variety of color/pattern choices makes them fun and easy to know who it belongs to. 🧦

The RV Toilet Tricks made me and my husband laugh. My husband is a self employed electrical contractor and I used to work in the office with him and 2 or 3 other men. That lesson you showed had obviously never been taught in their homes. I once put a $5 bill around the springy TP holder part and waited for someone to find it. It took about a month.

Haha, the toilet paper issue. I was at Hobby Lobby today and you know all those cute metal signs (lightweight and perfect size for the Rv) I. Tempted to get the one that says, “Everyone wants to change the world, but nobody wants to change the toilet paper.” 😜

I don't even have a RV, I just love using your great hacks in my house for space-saving/organization ideas! Thank you so much! (I'm 67 now, wish I had this channel when the kids were still here mess-making. LOL. )

[Jinjerbread]

I can’t stress how important it is to have a surge protector and also a water pressure reducer for the incoming water hose.

I was a full-time RVer briefly but sadly had to give up the lifestyle. I found that small adjustable curtain rods are great for keeping corning ware and other glassware in place during travel days. Just use the curtain rods to section off areas of glassware and the pans stay secure in the cupboards. Thanks for the great tips! I really miss RVing!

Just a quick tip for you..Dollar Tree has these rubber finger protectors that you can use when you hot glue. I am famous for burning myself. When I do, I just put some Revive Lavender essential oil on it, and it usually doesn't even blister. Keep the rubber finger protectors with the glue gun, and you are set. Love your videos.

i'm not an RV'er, but i have found those specific type of shelf liners are PERFECT for opening jars/lids...i would generally use two 6" squares of it so that i can handle both top & bottom of jar...pop...hard to open jars open very easily

[thinkingkingdomthoughts]

I just thought of an idea…. Buy two rugs and hot glue them together for twice the size soft basket or beach bag 😊. Love all your hacks! Very well thought out.

This is actually the 1st RV hack video I've watched & happy i did. I'm a new full time RVer (Mar 2023) & had never been in an RV till I bought my 93 Monterey Cobra though I traveled a great deal growing up in 70's-80's cars/vans. Its just me my kids are grown & I'm newly divorced & am looking forward to new adventures. I have several hobbies that I'm struggling to find packing hacks for. I'm a 4th gen Leatherman w/ tools, dyes, more tools, patterns some very old some newer. I make crystal, gold & silver jewelry, I sew & have sewing machine one newer & a non electric machine from late 1800 in case there's no electricity. I want to take out a bench seat & make shelves & the Murphy table that will hold things in place while in travel mode & raise up when its needed. Did i forget power tools? Yes those too ( just basic set) they have their own bag. If u or ur fans have any ideas i would be very grateful. Thank you Kelly

I hope your family appreciates what a jewel they have in you. So many great ideas and your presentation made the video a pleasure to watch.

Get a microfiber dish drainer mat and use it in the bathroom as a bathmat great for small spaces.

I like your ideas! I have a few comments about them, just to put in my two cents worth:
• I like the towel rack idea. I will definitely be considering it. However, my towels appear to be considerably larger than the towels you showed in your cabinet. Maybe. I won't know until I try, and because the components are from the dollar store, it can't hurt to give it a shot.
• My wife stores her earrings differently. I have always admired her setup. She has a strip of cloth fixed to the back of a cabinet door. She pierces the cloth with the earring post and secures with the normal back. None of them have ever fallen down or got lost since she started doing that. It's a little simpler than your hack and it doesn't have to be stowed. In addition, being in a cabinet that my granddaughter can't reach means she isn't tempted to play with them (she's two and a half so that's a real problem).
• Your hack regarding the cords for your air fryer etc. is great, but my wife and I have been doing something even easier and cheaper for many years. All the electrical devices on our kitchen counter top have short cords, but they're long enough to get in the way. We have been stuffing the cords into empty toilet paper rolls since I can remember. They are cardboard, so they don't last for a really long time, but when they wear out, they are essentially free to replace.
I• can see that non-slip shelf would also be great for preventing damage to the counter top even in normal use. Most counter top appliances (coffee maker, toaster, microwave, etc.) have rubber feet, but I have noticed that if an appliance stays in one place for a long time, the rubber feet create a dull spot from the rubbing. In some cases, I have been unable to eliminate that dull spot. It's not very noticeable, but once you see it, you can't unsee it, if you know what I mean.

Love the way you fold the bathroom towel. For bathroom trash I bought a plastic cereal bin. It closes, seals and the bigger open flap makes it really easy to just open that way then re-close. It also uses a 4 gallon trash bag perfectly.

[reuliuil]

I really appreciate that you shared a RANGE from like supersuper cheap to still reasonable and for hacks that can be used in small spaces in general. Thank you!

[KaiserStrategies]

I love the under the table basket with frequently used electronics and stuff. And the cord organizers.

[bethsanchez]

Once I had a son I knew the battle of the TP holder would never be won so to save my sanity I switched out all of my old holders to C-shaped holders. Zero effort to slide on the new roll and it won't even let you balance a roll on top anyway.

[bethgriggs]

These are amazing! 2 things you may want to try. When storing your seasonal clothes, hats, etc, you can put a dryer sheet in each one so they don't get smelly. Also, in that same thread, you can put one of those little desiccant packs to soak up moisture (like in your cabinets with your towels, shoes or your clothes) to keep things from getting moldy. I usually just save mine whenever I get them in shipping boxes... but you can order them for less than $10 for 100 of them!
