RV power backups and RV lifestyle guides right now? A combination between freedom and adventure, RV life is fabulous. But there are many aspects that can be improved, to make your RV life even better. You need a clothes hamper! Smaller or even collapsible hampers work great. We’ve found collapsible hampers work best for us because we have limited space in our rigs, but if you have a larger, more spacious interior, you can certainly use a traditional hamper. Hangars waste a lot of vertical space around the hook. These hangar travel trailer accessories are much ‘shorter’ and don’t make your shirts drag the bottom of a short closet. See extra details at coachmenrvtrailers.com.
Campers have few spots for knickknacks and decorations, but RVs can also be notoriously sterile looking. You’re going to want to take some things to make your little home cozy and inviting. For example, use rugs to add color and soften up your space. Plants can also add life and vibrancy to your home, and help purify the air. I had two hanging plants in our minuscule camper, and they made the RV feel cozy. We hated not having any art on the walls, so we ended up decoupaging small printouts of our favorite pieces right on the walls. You can also use 3M Command Strips to hang up prints or photos or invest in a digital picture frame. Remember, though, the shaking that a camper goes through while traveling can be intense, especially on bad roads. Quakehold is useful for securing things (like artwork and small plants) so they stay put.
Some folks drive their RVs solo, and although I can’t say much about hitching and unhitching a motorhome and car combo, our good friend Bob has found a great way to hitch and unhitch a fifth wheel trailer solo. He marked the front landing leg that’s near the extend/retract button at regular intervals all the way up and down the leg. Hash marks on a landing leg help get the rig back to the right height before hitching up. Then he numbered each hash mark. He keeps a pad and pen in the hatch near the landing legs button. When unhitching, once he’s raised the trailer to where he can drive the truck out from under it, he jots down the hash mark number that is visible on the leg. Then he drives out, parks, and returns to the trailer and raises or lowers the landing legs as necessary to get the trailer level.
Clean your RV before covering. Cleaning will remove any debris and grit that can trap moisture or abrade your RV’s finish. Also, a clean RV can’t transfer dirt to your cover. This is especially important the first time you try to install a new cover. If, for some reason, the cover doesn’t fit or is damaged, you won’t be able to return it if you have gotten it dirty or stained it. Do the actual covering on a dry day. Rainy or snowy days will trap excess moisture under the cover, and make the roof of your RV terribly slippery and dangerous.
It can be a challenge to figure out what to bring for full time RV living. “Is one pair of sandals enough or do I need a second pair for campground showers?” We ended up having way too much stuff. After a month of RV living we decided to sell the bicycles because we never used them. A few months later, we performed a spring cleaning by re-evaluating everything in the RV. Many articles of clothing ended up in the donation pile because neither of us had touched them since we moved in. “I’ve been looking for this!” The spring cleaning also reminded us of things we’d brought that we forgot about. This is also a great time to reorganize and optimize storage. After the initial cleaning, most of our bays, cupboards and drawers ended up half empty. That’s also about the time we realized a small Class A motorhome was too much space for us. Now we travel full time in a Class B camper van.
You do not start any project without enough information. Do your research and find out the cost of living in different places. You can look for information from others who are living in their RV full-time. Getting information will make it easier for you to prepare and deal with any unexpected things that happen while you are on your road.
