So we downsized and moved into a Grand Design #Momentum395MS but needed to figure out how to get organized. This is how we moved things around to prepare for our adventures. If you have other tips we would love to hear them. This has been a huge learning curve for us. We love our 395MS but the storage problem has been our hardest organizational challenge.
#OrganizeRV was goal.

You don't need all that stuff.... until you do, then you're gonna be happy you have them. I carry 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 impacts and all the sockets to go with. When I needed them, I'm glad I had them.

In Regards to the Valterra Sewer Hose Holder!! I didn't find the brackets that are included worked for me, so I got some Heavy Duty Zip Ties (Amazon). They make zip ties that will support 120 lbs. You can also use metal perforated Plumbers Tape (Amazon). I found both of these products to have multiple uses. I also store my Folding RV Ladder (Amazon) in a 6 inch ABS Pipe under the trailer supported by plumbers tape. Put Screw On Caps on both ends of the pipe and rigged up locks for it. That way the ladder isn't using valuable storage space or in my way when I am not using it. Your wife's idea of the Containers and a spreadsheet of where everything is at is a great idea. I store my stuff in labeled containers but I am going to steal her idea of a spreadsheet. I know I have it but can't always remember WHERE!?!?

Sheila, you have my DEEPEST sympathies, having an onion allergy! I too have an onion & garlic allergy and of course when you go out to a restaurant to eat, every type of food has one or the other or both in the receipe. And Todd mentioned you driving the dually to Walmart. I'd never owned a truck in my life, always drove Hondas or Subarus and my first truck was a Ford F350, 1 ton crew cab with duallys, and to see my wife who's 5'2" driving it was always a shock to see such a tiny woman getting out of such a huge rig. **grins** I LOVE how you maximized the wall storage in the garage area! ! ! That is genius and everything is still handy and available when needed. I thought I was the only one who was anal retentive, measuring spaces, using grid paper to figure out the layout of storage containers to put stuff in. That is a great idea. And I love how Todd added and block of wood under the bed to hold the support bar in place when the storage area is opened. Fantastic ! ! !

Love your Vlogs! Not boring very light and fun! Your storage ideas are great. I have done the same thing with the shoes and it works really well! except I have to put our hiking boots else where as they are to big for the shoe holders. I love your fifth wheel. We are not full timers right now so we have a much smaller RV .We have a 2008 29 ft Class C Winnebago Access that we revamped. needless to say not as much storage.

Valterra makes sewer hose storage containers you can mount underneath your trailer that makes it much easier to store the hose rather than wadding it up in that box. You can find them on Amazon. Underneath one of my slides I built hangers out of 1 1/2 inch abs pipe to hang the sewer elbows and Ys that way everything is outside in the open air and the hose is just stored in the valterra pipe.

The first thing we always buy for a new trailer is a Camco Cross Bar. About $15 and it is life changing! It's a bar that goes across the front door (screws into the screen door) so you can grab anywhere to close the door. After using it the first time, you won't know how you lived without it.

Get use to down sizing.I have RVING for 5 years now.an ounce a year we down size.we have a rule if we have not use it in a year it is time to go.or something new then something old goes.LOL You have to keep in mine weight at all times.like on my Cyclone toyhuller I have GVW of 20000. What I did is all my tanks where full.an had my side by side in the back. Went to a Cat scale an my trailer scale at 19000..When I travel I only keep my freshwater at half full an my 2 gas tanks full. What I have learned over the years is when you dump tanks is dump your black first an then dump your gray last that will clean your sewer hose.an it is ready to be put away.be safe in your travels.

Holy cow you guys are quick! You got a heck of a lot done, Impressive! (Modifications, installs, bin organizing etc.). This stuff isn’t boring, because it is full of ideas. Interesting drill holder with pvc. 🤔. Love the pot n pan pull out and the garage wall of metal baskets 👍🏼. I agree, your living space layout is a design I prefer as well. I keep whatever I can squeeze (literally) for my road safety stuff, behind the trucks backseats. (Crew cab). The small stuff. Only way you can access this stuff is by lifting up the back seat. I stuffed a couple of rain ponchos and road reflective strap vests, couple of those flashing road thingys, and a packed booboo kit etc. Believe you also have hidden storage in the backseat floor too. I would probably keep that electronic code reader inside the truck, like in the truck backseat floor bin, I’d be worried tools might kill it while I be digging around looking for other stuff, plus keep it cooler when hot summer hits. 😂. Cheers 🍻

You guys have been busy! Your video was not boring, it’s exactly what we want to see! We have a goal of going full time in 3 years and everything you are doing now is giving us “food for thought”. Sheila, I love your organization style. You are making the most of what you have. It’ll be interesting to see what you find out you need and don’t have, as well as what you have and don’t need 6 months down the road. How did you organize recipes? I too have lots!
@SwitchItUpLife
@SwitchItUpLife 3 года назад
Hi Barbara - for the recipes, I realized I had a couple favorites in one book, another favorite in a magazine so I went through and wrote everyone of them out in a binder. I have seen some people do pictures of each recipe and organize them online - but I’m a tactile person and like the ability to pull the card out of a binder. There are probably 20 different ways you could do recipes but find what works for you. What wasn’t going to work was the 7 big books I had plus all the magazines that I kept for a random recipe- good luck!
