Tips for Downsizing & RV Organization | FULL TIME RV LIVING 

We went full time 3.5 years ago. It’s just me and my husband and we had a 3 bed, 2.5 bath house complete with man cave and craft room. When made the decision to buy/move into a 20’ travel trailer basically everything had to go. We checked with our parents to see if they wanted any of our school stuff, a few things went into 1 tote and that tote lives under our bed. Everything we own is with us at all times and it’s a good feeling. We traded in a life of stuff for the life of adventure. I do feel like organizing/seeing what works in the RV is a never ending “game”. The amount of money I’ve spent on plastic bins, organizational items and command strips over the past few years is probably astronomical 😅

Good morning guys, great video, great information ! We’re pretty well packed with the necessities, but I found that I had to catch myself because I fell into the gadget mode a bit. 😂 I was wondering about an example on how or why you use the black spray paint and the little sledge hammer ? Funny I was just looking at one of those the other day at home depot. Last but not least I love what you have in your top drawer of your work station 🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I enjoy your videos and I'm certainly not aRV Living celebrity such as you and some others, but may I suggest that, if possible, insert links to products you use or recommend, even if it seems redundant. I realize that some could say, "Well, we covered that a few videos ago", but I know I would not like to search through several vids or transcripts to look for a product reference. I know newbies such as myself look to pros such as yourself for guidance and tips and would go a long way to assist others.

The look on his face when she brought up clothes... Priceless

"It'd be awesome if you could show us how to take our solar setup from 'barely keeping the fridge cold' with 200 watts and AGM batteries to 'powering a small city' with 800-1000 watts and shiny new lithium batteries. Seriously, you guys have gear that's like a carbon copy of mine!"

please tell me what you use for internet !! motivating video❤️

Downsizing and the Minimalist lifestyle is the way to go... Besides your channel and other RV bloggers that I follow, I love " The Minimalists " on YT. I am not there yet, but I am a minimalist in the making... Quick question... I am a new sub to your channel, but it seems to me like you just got your Entegra not too long ago... Why are you already trading up ? You just got this rig

Nice Flashlight 😉, now you will need a new place to put it. Good idea's. Thanks for the video and safe travels.

I laugh because I won't have to downsize much at all. I think I will have to get rid of a loveseat and a dresser, both are things I hate! Oh, and my mattress which is just tossed on the floor. Everything else I can fit in the back of a VW bug. When I get my RV over time, I will need to buy stuff for it. Not a lot of stuff, just a few things that I have been putting off for some time. Honestly, I just want to have some silverware that matches, but I only need a couple of each. I am thinking that if I have 4 plates, 4 bowls, and 4 spoons, forks, and butter knives and then the steak knives. Then most can go into a crate under the RV and only get them out when I need to feed someone like my adult kids. So have 2 plates out and 2 plates stored. Nothing crazy, but nice to have just in case. Any more people than that they it will bring your own. I was researching the whole topic of pepper spray vs. bear spray and the taser vs the other one. Self-defense stuff. It was interesting, because you don't want to use bear spray on humans (the big can) as it sprays broader and pepper spray is designed to take them out. There are some liabilities with that also. The tasers and I can't think of the other name is also interesting. Guns are such a touchy topic and carrying them across borders can have implications in some states, so you don't really want to talk about having them on your channel. Why give police in different states an opportunity to ask questions? Also, there are some serious idiots out there that will report stuff as something different just to get other people in trouble. That said, Tasers and pepper spray are treated like guns in some states. That said, I have had police officers tell me to get training in how to use it and then to always carry it.

That was super informative, thank you! I like the idea of starting simple and getting things as you need them. That makes a lot of sense and if you really need something you’ll find a space for it. It doesn’t seem like you’re short on storage space at all which is definitely something I thought would be more of a concern. Your organization and location of things is on point and there’s a lot of tips to take away there. Again, thank you! I wasn’t aware the scrub daddy didn’t hold moisture, that’s a great tip and something I’ll be checking out sooner than later. I was surprised you said spray paint because I really would have thought you’d get a few bottles of touch up paint with the rig. Speaking of maintenance, you mentioned fuses and an electrical kit. I had thought of the former but not the latter. What about a tire repair kit since you move around a lot. I don’t plan on moving my rig as often but I think my drives will be much longer and was wondering if that’s really a concern. As well as TPMS. Another great tip with digitalizing and keeping an ‘offsite backup’ lol as we both know the importance of redundancy with data. On a less serious note, I had to laugh when you wouldn’t open your unmentionable drawer but just opened Emma’s right up and was like we’ll just blur that out LOL Great video, great information. Thanks so much!
