RV Camping is a great experience. It gives you the ability to drive down the road, see the sites, and spend time with the ones you love. Here are a few RV hacks that will make your trip easier.

DIY Travel Cup RV Hack
It never fails, something gets spilled. An easy way to minimize the disaster area is Press ‘n Seal Wrap. It works with most cups and saves many headaches.

Command Hook Curtains
Need a temporary curtain to create separation in your RV, don’t want to drill holes into the frame, or simply want a super-easy way to hang curtains. Use command hooks to hold up your curtain rod!

DIY Tank Cleaner
Toilets are always dreaded to clean, especially RV ones. An easy fix is a cup of Borax detergent and 1/2 cup of Calgon Water Softener. The Borax helps control odor and the water softener prevents waste from sticking to the walls of the waste tank. Be nice to your RV bathroom and keep your tank clean.

Dry Erase Board Use
Dry erase boards come in handy for many uses but they can help with safety concerns as well. Keep one in the RV to write down the name of the campground, address, spot number, phone number of the campground, and any other useful information about the site you may want to be nearby in case of an accident or emergency.

Collapsible Garbage Can
RV’s are low on storage, a large trashcan is difficult to travel with. However, using a collapsible laundry basket makes a perfect impromptu trash can that stores away easily.

Bubble Wrap Insulation
For those chilly winter months a campfire is great but inside your RV is a different story! An easy temporary solution is Bubble Wrap insulation.

Line the Shelves with Non-Slip Liner
Be sure to line all of your shelves with non-slip liner. It will keep your cabinets from becoming a dishware graveyard on those bumpy road trips.

Place a Foam Noodle Over Awning Brace or Slide Corners
An inexpensive easy solution for no more bumped heads as you walk around the RV.

Easy Washing Station
Create an easy washing station, all you need is a bar of soap placed in a leg of pantyhose and tied around a water spigot. It will make cleaning up more convenient and your RV much cleaner.

Leave in the comments what your tips are. We would love to share them with the community.

As we are coming close to Christmas, we felt this may be something you that are needing. Are you spending Christmas in your RV? Will you be with family or friends? Or will this be your first year alone with your significant other?

Every family has favorite holiday traditions. Christmas isn’t the same when you’re full-time living in your RV. But this doesn’t mean the holidays can’t be awesome. An amazing part of Christmas is the decorating – especially when it comes to picking out a tree. You could go the artificial route and find a fake, yet still beautiful tree that can fit the dimensions of your RV.

One of the best parts of Christmas for me and my family has always been decorating. While it’s a small space, we still have fun decorating both the interior and exterior of our RV. You can do the same!

Deck out the exterior with lights and a wreath
Place mini Christmas trees inside
Hang your stockings wherever they fit
Decorate your campsite
Warm up your RV by baking holiday treats
Keep the decorating simple. Have fun and find new ways to keep the spirit glowing. A great part of spending Christmas in the RV is your ability to enjoy the simplicity of holidays for that year. You don’t need to get extravagant with the decorations.

If you’re feeling the holiday blues, here’s how to see the season in a different way. Celebrating the holidays in your RV is an opportunity to create even better memories and make new traditions! One of the greatest things about camping out is that you can meet all kinds of people from all over the country. So, why not take advantage of that? On Christmas Day, get together with some of the other people camping out at the RV Park and host your very own RVing holidays Christmas dinner!

Travel to new destinations with winter weather you enjoy. Prepare your holiday meal for yourself and/or friends.
Get to know new people and their Christmas traditions.
Eat out at new places and learn local holiday food customs.

Just try to keep in mind, the best thing about spending your holiday in an RV is the complete mobility you have. You can go and do whatever you want, wherever you want!

Merry Christmas! Dora & Ed, It’s A Good Life RV

Being nomadic sounds great doesn’t it? For the most part, it can be. However, do your research before you take the leap. You will want to research the differences between types of RVs. Do you know there’s a difference between the different types of RVs? RV stands for recreational vehicle, so in itself, it isn’t a single vehicle. It is a category of vehicle just like an SUV is.

Let’s get into the main categories of RVs so you can get an idea for what you’d like.

A motorhome is a motorized RV that has living accommodations. There are different classes:

Class A: The Class A motorhome resembles a bus and features a larger living area
Class B: Smaller and more agile; also known as sleeper or camper vans
Class C: More fuel-efficient and comfortable to drive than Class A, but also more modest

Towable Trailers are RVs that require a tow vehicle to get from Point A to Point B. The different types of trailers include:

Pop-up or foldable trailers: compact, but need to be physically folded before they’re usable
Travel trailers: wide range of towables ranging in size
5th wheel and/or Toy haulers: these can be the largest towable RVs on the market, heaviest, require a specific type of in-bed truck tow hitch. And toy haulers feature a “garage” so you can haul a large “toy” like an ATV, golf cart or small car

Buying an RV can be a thrill, but not when you don’t really know which type of model will work for you. Using the information above, go to your local RV dealer and tour all the different types. Take notes OR video record each RV that may interest you. Before you enter the RV, at the door most RVs have their information on a sticker. Take a picture of the sticker and then start recording. This should help you keep each RV video organized so when you go to view the videos you don’t get confused. Once your in the RV, don’t rush. Set down and look around. Is this a space you can comfortably use while camping or living in? Weird tip but necessary… go set on the toilet, with the lid down of course, and see if there is enough leg room. Stand in the shower and pretend your washing your hair. Is there enough room or do you hit your arms on the shower walls? One of the things we overlooked at first was closets! Where do you hang your clothes? Where do you put your underwear? We found ourselves looking at the cosmetic things within a RV and then when watching our videos realized there was not a closet to hold our clothes. Bottom line, take your time. Don’t get overly excited and rush through things. Don’t do it. Take your time. Buying a RV is a expensive investment and you don’t want to make a mistake a purchase a RV that will not function for your needs. Do you have tips for us or our other viewers?

Thanks!

We hope the take away from these past two videos is…. You Can Do Anything, But Not Everything. The quote is a reminder that is important to just DO instead of trying to do everything. Just remember, the time on this earth is limited so its important for you to choose what’s best for you and the others that are most important to YOU!

Thanks everyone for following along on our crazy adventure.
