Absolutely love the rug storage basket hack and towel rack. Thanks so much for sharing! I used 2 different Ikea rugs (sortso and klejs) to make the baskets. A little bit higher in price ($5.99 & $2.99) but also look nice if not in a cabinet. I also added magnet closures to a few. My towel rack is hung using removable wall hooks from Dollar Tree.

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.

@tennesseeterri 9 месяцев назад

When I use the hot glue gun I always keep a glass of ice water next to me so if I get any hot glue on me I can plunge my finger into it to stop the burning. also if you are camping or something, you can melt the hot glue stick over a fire if you don't have the glue gun or any electricity. Keep some in your emergency supplies, they never go bad.

@greari69 Год назад

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. 🧦

@badbiker666 Год назад

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.

@GratefulGlamper Год назад

Thanks for the comment and for watching

@TheWickkit Месяц назад

For cords I have a piece of tubing (I think it's similar to pex for water lines) and I cut it into 1" sections and then slice it open down one side so I can loop the cord and it holds the loops in place. When I need the cord length out, I just release one loop at a time for whatever length is needed. That's for phone and other small cords though. For appliance and other thick cords, a piece of pvc pipe would not need to be replaced as often as the toilet paper roll which also BTW, contains bathroom bacteria that we probably don't need to be transferring into our kitchen areas unnecessarily.

@rae1957tn Год назад

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

@withoutmaps Год назад

Works VERY well! That’s what I did in mine :)

@patriciamckean4186 Год назад

Been doing that for awhile.

@bethsanchez3574 Год назад

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.

@darrellboggess4954 Год назад

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

@jennifergrace1694 Год назад

My elderly mother did that. It can also be cut to size to use under a plate/bowl on a tray for meals in bed. In my RV, which is tiny by comparison, I use it on the counter, in drawers and on open shelves, as well as for protecting breakables, between plates, and to stop pots and pans/lids from rattling. Great stuff with many uses!

@ChooseHope Год назад

Same! I literally just figured that out a couple of weeks ago!

@ellenthomas5312 10 месяцев назад

Hi, I also find it hard to open jars and used the liner too. I have a TIP for you! RU-vid / TikTok search opening jars using a spoon. I think I saw this on TikTok and tried it many times and each time I did - it worked!! No more liner needed. Take care.

@debbieroberts1611 2 месяца назад

When you are at the Dr. and have to have your blood work done they put a band around your arm. They just throw them away . Ask them for it. You can use them to open your jars and anything you have trouble gripping. You can also use them to tie tomatoes stems. They can also be used for slingshot.

@thinkingkingdomthoughts Год назад

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.

@larrygood6764 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for all the advice, I do have one suggestion for the towel racks in the cabinet. I've been in the electrical trade since the 80's, and was taught to use lineman's pliers to twist the end of the tie wraps off, this will eliminate the sharp edges of them when they are cut off.

@GratefulGlamper 5 месяцев назад

@user-xv1ub1tb1z 10 месяцев назад

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!

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.

@bethgriggs9239 Год назад

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!

Also the Bounce outdoor dryer sheets help prevent mice.

The product that is inside of those little bags is called silica. The silica packets are found in so many things. As well as available for purchase as 'sneaker gym bag balls'. Inside bottles of OTC herbal medicines and supplements. Beef jerky. Purses. Some high end articles of clothing. Wallets (long time ago in shoe boxes) now they use a silica sticker . I use those small ones (that say 'do not eat') inside of my dried goods containers * do not open or eat them* , also forget using rice when you get electronics wet, some gym bag balls' wrapped w tape inside of Ziploc bag+36hrs. Takes a smart watch that was an aquarium turned quickly into a dessert. And no rice residue in your equipment. Woohoo. Silica is amazing.

@GlitterPoolParty 9 месяцев назад

My all time favorite hack for the bathroom is I don't have guest towels (which leads to guests guessing which large hanging towel they should use and wondering how many other people touched that towel since it was last washed) instead of a community towel, i have a basket of neatly folded wash rags next to the sink and a hamper. The wash rags are great both wet or dry and ALWAYS fresh. Bonus, the more washrags that are used, the more often I can fill a wash machine load of towels, wash rags, and cotton napkins. If you have limited space in the rv, color code washrags for each family member and a set designated for guests. Everyone has different preferences about weather they use one personal washrag all day as a towel, or if they want a fresh washrag every time they ise the rest room. Hold a family meeting to talk about their hand washing/drying preferences to determine how many wash rags are needed by each family member. in the rv. Have a net laundry bag handy to catch the used wash rags and wash they separately in hot water with laundry booster. Guests will need a fresh washrag every time anyone uses the restroom.

@jeanettesjourney9147 Год назад

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.

We don't have room over the sink for the roll out drying rack while using the sink in our island. However, if you put the silicon/roll up drying rack on top of a kitchen drying mat or small towel on the counter top. The mat will absorb the water drips and the rack will allow airflow to get to the underside of things and everything will dry. Then roll it up and hang the mat on the oven handle or preferred place and recover your counter space.

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

Rather than looping your bathroom towel and having it short, and to be able to use more of the towel, you can pull both ends of it through a hair elastic. The hair elastic of course secures the towel like a pony tail.

I use it iny drawers so things don't rattle and you can cut pieces to fit. It doesn't have to be all a single sheet. The left overs I put between glass items.

@caringheartsforhorsesoutre8516 Месяц назад

I see a lot of people mentioning wine racks which sounds great and pretty however I really love this Dollar Tree idea. Keeping it super Frugal on things like this allows us to spend money on other things. Love this idea

I love your hacks! We have covered many miles in our travel trailer over the last 6 years, but you have proven there is always more to learn. It's impossible for me to pick one hack as a favorite. The toilet paper tutorial was great! 🤣 I love the Nano Tape, microfiber towels, towel holders & water quick connect. That last one will save me from getting wet because I never get that connection correct. Thanks a bunch.

My husband and I just bought a travel trailer. We have never really camped before. You have given some great tips but, what is the most important we would need starting out.

@SuperWhatapain Год назад

Get a sway bar for the trailer. Makes a huge difference and is much safer when pulling the travel trailer down there road. Get someone to show you how to use it. Turn off propane tanks when moving. Check your roof on a regular basis (especially used) . Have fun 😊

@primalperry5667 Год назад

Love how you called out replacing the empty TP roll!!!! :D I find the holders that just have like an arm that you slide it on and dont' have the spring loaded deal seems to make it easier/faster to the point that it actually gets replaced more frequently lol. Great tips as always, love your videos!

@sandyruther2745 Год назад

I use the TP holder with the arm installed vertically. Wish I had done that in my house.

I made the soft sided baskets for our little Shasta camper. I didn't use a carpet, I used placemats from Ollie's that I paid 99 cents for. They fit perfect in the overhead cabinet and holds our personal hygiene items. They are easy to grab when it comes time to shower and put right back.

Awesome!

@dianekirvan9906 Год назад

I also use plastic magazine holders to store all kinds of things in the odd sized nook and crannies in my travel trailer. I love the idea of the nano tape. Will buy a roll to keep in the RV. I use Gorilla tape too. Love the scalloped edge cord roll up holders for home too! Your DIY rug baskets are amazing. Love to watch your informative videos. Keep them coming. Happy and safe travels to you and your family!

I just found you and so excited. My son and I live full time in an RV at an RV Park in Florida. I love it here! I was just talking to my sister, the best organizer I know personally, about things we can do to organize things in here. She has also lived in an RV for many years in the past. The disorganization in my RV is so getting on my nerves. I'm sending her this video. You gave so many great ideas! Thank you! I especially love the toilet paper tip...lol.

@wendyshepard2080 Месяц назад

An easy alternative to hot gluing your bags would be to have a large eye needle and heavy thread or light string and sew by hand. Our tp holder is open ended so roll drops on or slides off, no springy thingy issue! BONUS, no more battle which way to hang the roll!!!

@kp2874 Год назад

Loved the genius child drawer locks. Labels are a must, regardless if clear tubs. Fave tips are the magazine holder for water bottles and file holder for bathroom trash. The nano-taped boxes look so elegant! You're right that very best was daughter's basket on robe hooks.

@staciclaybrook3527 Год назад

I haven't finished watching but i have already seen two great ideas that stand out for me. the basket under the table or the cords and the baby sheet clips. I wanted to add that we cover our couch it is very slick and the blankets do not stay in place but I'm thinking that the sheet clips just might do the trick. I will have to put the shelf liner to the test. I've had a toaster fall off the counter. it would be nice to not repeat that type of disaster. I'm going to mention the thermostat to my hubby, It looks simple enough that he might be on board with it. OMG! the nano tape is an amazing idea! I've never heard of it. I'm very intrigued by the you can wash and reuse comment. I also love the bins you assembled with the small carpets. I thought at first they were store bought. Thank you, for these ideas!

The toilet paper instructions was hilarious! This is in my house as well as in the camper! Men don’t put down the toilet seat, or change the toilet paper! Still laughing😅

@tamielizabethallaway2413 Год назад

Holy Hell! They charge you $30 for a pack of four mattress stays??? I can't believe that! I got a pack of four for less than £1 each! Equivalent to around $4.50¢ to you. I'm loving the video, I'm in an actual house, but I love small space storage ideas. But yeah, saw that price and I was like 😳 "WHAT?" I've noticed that in many American videos where they'll say something that was "affordable" and they're SOOOOOOOOOOO expensive! I'd love to spend hours in a Dollar Tree! I've never been to America, but I'd forget the tourist attractions and head to Dollar Tree, and your charity shops over there, they're HUGE! 😍😍😍 EDIT*** Yeah! You got me with the last one! And I sew by hand and machine! But it's a great idea to use those thicker rugs because you could use lots of them to transform a room! I'm thinking storage, cushions, cover a plastic trash can, lay them as seat protectors, table mats, even mini blinds for shorter windows! For the blinds, put a line of small thin nails across the top of the window, a couple of inches apart, a complete line from one end of the window to the other. Take a rug, and cut a length of riddon or cord, that is twice the LENGTH of the rug....so from fringe end to the other fringe end, then double that length is how long you need to cut the ribbon. Cut multiple lengths of ribbon all that exact length, you'll need two ribbons per rug. Tale one piece of ribbon, fold it in half, and place that centre of the ribbon on the very edge of one of the tasselled ends, approximately 4" ish in from the left side. Glue it on, on the edge, then lay one half of the ribbon so it hangs freely on top of the rug, and the other half of the ribbon flips over the edge of the rug and lays underneath. Then repeat with your second ribbon, this time approx 4" in from the right. You want both ribbons on ONE TASSELLED EDGE, one left, one right. Do not glue one ribbon on one end of the rug, and one on the other! They are glued either side of one of the ends. Take your rug, pick it up from the end with it's two glued on ribbons. This is the top of your blind. Push the rug onto the line of nails above the window, so that it hangs over the glass. Two ribbon strips will be visible on the front, and two are behind the rug. Roll up the bottom tasselled end, and keep rolling til you get to the length you choose, they could be right up or midway. With the rug rolled up out the way you'll now see all four ribbons. Take the two on the left and tie them in a bow to hold the rug rolled up. Then do the same with the ribbons on the right. Line up as many rugs as you need to cover the full width of the window. You can drop down one here and there to block out sunlight for example, or drop them all down for bedtime. And you're done! 😁 To be honest I love those types of rugs, especially in cream, beige, brown, natural colours, because they go so well with a neutral decorated room, and blend in with rope, jute, linen or other natural textures of fabric in a room. Particularly in my house which is coastal themed, lots of natural driftwood, rope, shells, baskets, pebbles, burlap etc as the main backdrop, then added touches of bluey greens here and there. But as much as I love the rugs with their soft rope kind of texture, I never buy them! Because as rugs go, they're pretty shite! 🤣 As a rug I mean. So I've seen them, liked their texture, but wouldn't have put one on my floor....except possibly as a bath mat perhaps I guess....? So I've never bought them! But NOW I'm seeing them in whole new light! They're tough enough to compliment a natural aesthetic, used as all sorts of other textiles, cushions, blinds, etc whilst being soft enough to sew and craft with. Win Win! I love the idea! I'm gonna be on the lookout now for a bunch of these in a creamy beige kind of shade. My whole lounge is gonna get rugged! 😂 Sofa seat covers, cushions, cover the trash basket, may even cut small squares to make coasters, glued onto felt!!! Thanks for the inspiration! 😘😘😘

@maureenbowerman5300 Год назад

Some of the hacks worked for my rig. I like using a rigid-sided medium sized bin with holes in the sides stood upright on the counter top by the door to hold a variety of incidentals. Included is a large grated parmesan cheese container with the label cut off for pens, pencils, scissors and even my toothbrush so it dries out easily. Love the magazine rack water bottle holder. Thank you for all the good ideas. Sometimes all it takes is another set of 👀

I've seen that museum wax will hold some things on the counters, little shelves, or keep pictures from swinging around. Will the nano tape function the same way? I have plants I'll be taking with me when I start my RV life. I'll also have about a 5 month old kitten.

The nano tape is definitely a strong hold and would work for the same thing

Ohmyjesus... the toilet paper lesson! I'm certain that IT HAD TO BE SAID!!! With that being said, I'd like to add that the official way to do that is before the roll runs out, switch out for the new roll and then put the almost finished roll on top of the new one.

@sandramagill3877 Год назад

Thanks for putting these together. My favorite hack was using the shelf paper on the counter space. It keeps everything thing neat and handy when you need it.

@sandyruther2745 Год назад

This is one I need to use on top of the counter. I'm using it inside the shelves to prevent slippage. I forgot about the top of the counter. I have very little inside storage.

It’s nice to hide appliance cords, but winding them that tight will eventually break the filaments that make up the cord. 😅😅 given to me by a vacuum cleaner dealer. Most of your hints can be used at home too! I’ll have to look for baby waterproof sheets for my dogs! They look easier to handle than the big, partial slipcovers meant for pets.

@amydelpiere9315 Год назад

About a year ago I watched the video you did about the rug/placemat baskets and made two which turned out very cute. Today I'm watching this and loving the crib sheet idea with the sheet grippers for our truck camper! Best wishes.

@GratefulGlamper Год назад

@awaywego7283 3 месяца назад

A suggestion for the surge protector. Generally you have a post that you plug into. We always have a heavy chain that goes through the protector around the post and then you lock it with a very good lock. As she said they are expensive. Ours was $279 that we did not want to come back to camp and see gone. When we bought our camper this was highly recommended and this is what we tell new campers that we meet.

@shellykereluik5705 Год назад

I think I have a crush on you after watching this! What great wisdom you shared. I wonder if you have a hack for getting light to the appropriate spot? I used a clear plastic cup hung from under cupboards over my favorite reading seat and dropping a flashlight into it when I needed a little spot light, without blasting the whole area with bright lights that never seemed to hit the pages right anyway. What would you recommend?

@GratefulGlamper Год назад

For reading I use a book light 😉

@mrskarenvaughnvoice3103 Год назад

Hi Charity, I really loved the DIY earring holder...and made simple upgrades. I used the larger 8x10 inch acrylic photo frame. Then, I hot glued on a piece of black felt (+$1.25) so there is some contrast and reduced noise. I chose the large bright colored hairbands, and then hot glued Command Strips hooks upside down along the upper back side for my necklaces to drape down the front. It can also accommodate bracelets, too. It fits nicely into a drawer for travel days. I'm going to pass along your project idea to my grandson's Sunday School teacher for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day...Stickers, Colored paper for background, etc. Lots of ways to customized it! Thanks!! - Karen Vaughn
