RVing tip #1



Many a thought process goes "if you are traveling in an RV, you need to downsize everything" tiny sink, tiny cabinets and all of your storage is small. Well while it is true that you are working with less space, that is not to say you need to shrink your life, it means to use the items that are the most important, things that might be able to do double duty and so on. Example, a queen size bed in an RV is smaller the a queen size bed in your home, and for those who have seen Gary you know that ain't going to work, he is 6' 5" Our fix, buy a firm piece of foam that ads an additional 8" in length and cover everything with one of those memory foam 4" pads. It not only makes a very uncomfortable bed comfy, it also keeps Gary from sleeping across the bed leaving cat and me the corners. When we move, the foam flips on top of the bed and it all fits when the slide moves in. We all have our slice of the extra long comfortable bed. Now if I could just teach Blue to use his share of the bed rather than laying across my legs, life would be purrrfect!

On that same thought process we were using a pint sized dish pan that held two glasses and just a few spoons, that was crazy and everything was wet including at least two towels each washing along with the counter. Now that we have a regular size pan, we can wash all of our dishes and let them drain before giving them a wipe and away they go. This pan can sit on top of the cutting board that sits on top of the stove and hold any dishes we make dirty until the next washing.
