10 Low-cost Ideas for a Small Camper

A few years ago I did a series of "Low-Cost Ideas" for my old A-Frame trailer. Here's the first of a possible series intended for almost any small trailer or camper. Most ideas cost only a few bucks, nothing when published was over $25 USD. Camp frugally!

I was a fireman for 30 years and when it comes to fire extinguishers there is one more important thing you should do to make them more effective. good idea where you put yours but one thing you need to do is shake it up. yes that's right, when you go down the road and with all the vibrations the powder will settle and if you have a fire only a portion will come out the nozzle. so make it a habit in your TT set up that you shake the extinguisher or even take it our and tap it on the TT tire. this will break up that powder and if you need it you will have 100% of the powder instead of say 30%. OK I''m done now, keep up the good work, love watching your videos

[@mikemead2315]

I like my fabric door-hanging shoe-holder. Basically a 24 matrix of pockets. I cut it in half, added a couple of grommets, and hang them all over including on the back of my drivers seat. Books. Water bottles. Cords. Socks. Glasses. Pens. Plastic bags. Containers of little things. Even shoes!

[@wildbill23c]

That's a great idea...I should get one to put over the back of the rear seat in my Jeep and my Bronco 2. A great place to store items within easy reach, yet out of the way and not getting tossed around the vehicle during offroad excursions.

[@MarysMaamCave]

Mike Mead At home I use one of the these on the back of the door to my pantry and I store my cleaning supplies in the shoe pockets. They are clear so I’m not always rummaging around looking for the cleaning product I want.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

I found a nice one with mesh pockets so I can see what’s in them but it’s not the plastic that holds moisture .....LOVE them, they hold a lot of stuff, organized and accessible!!!!

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

Awesome that I'm not the only person who uses them. I have them in my house in the kitchen for all the water bottles and odd shape things that fall out of cupboards. But they are great for traveling and shower hooks work on head rest.

Storage for. Cast iron skillet - my wife found that storing our cast iron skillet in the plastic bubble wrap envelope, like Amazon ships things in, works well. It keeps it the things around it protected from both impact and grime. It's cheap and easily replaced if it gets greasy.

[@SlimPotatohead]

@Dan Dial, this is hands-down the BEST solution anyone's posted. I actually did have an Amazon envelope, and just tried it on some rough roads . Stays greasy and snug in the bottom of my dishpan now. Thanks!!! SP

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Just be careful with moisture, the plastic can cause moisture retention, therefore rust 🥺

You can screw a neodynium magnet on the shelf or even the wall and attach the pan on to it!

[@dingfeldersmurfalot4560]

@@SlimPotatohead I'd be real careful about the moisture problem you create that way too. Put some dessicant packs in there, at the very least. But I think you'd be just as well suited with an *unwaxed* cardboard box trimmed and taped or stapled to fit.

If you are ever looking for a good way to hold something down, 3M EZ-pass adhesive strips! They look like little strips of heavy duty clear velcro. They are a little bit thicker, but are used for car windshields, so can take the blistering heat and freezing cold. And I have a set that's been in my car for 8ish years with no issues, both Canadian winter and warm summers and they dont budge!

[@websurferlady6223]

Wow,I've been looking for something like this-thanks!

[@Paul-ft9qd]

Yea they work really well. Would be perfect for objects you dont want to move, but can easily get at if you need to. Like a paper towel holder, one inside and one one the outside and you could bring the paper towels inside or out.

[@bhenry5091]

Also, when applying self adhesive surfaces to other smooth surfaces, wipe the receiving surface with alcohol and then let it dry. The adhesive will stick much longer. Brent

[@pammorrison88]

Different fires need different fires extinguishers. A very handy one for cooking is a fire blanket. They come in different sizes and you drape it over the fire and snuff it out completely by removing the air it needs. The extra bonus is you don’t have the contents of the extinguisher to clean up after.

[@squarewheelsorguk]

Slim, enjoyed your video. Regarding the new fan-controller, beware accidentally leaving it turned down very low - so low that the fan can become stalled, but continuing to draw current. My mom did this back home and melted the variac & the fan motor!

[@bebeandjohnnotsonomadiclif5287]

Put the Cast iron pan into a NEOPRENE LAP TOP SLEEVE and store any place you like..no rattle, and a nice bumper to boot.

[@peacefulwife5199]

That's a awesome idea. Bet you could get a used one at a garage sale........if we ever have those again.....wear a mask.

[@kb9847]

that's a great idea!! I will do that with my pot lids.

[@judithneeley5229]

One can use those rubber drawer liner if neophrene is not available or costly.. You could fold it over to make a pocket, glue the sides and then figure out where to put it. I would store it in an oven, but he doesn't have one. At least then you can stack other items in it with the rubber sleeve. I would put my smaller ppots/lids inside it when storing. It won't slip around when moving, either.

[@_GntlStone_]

Don't forget to add some snaps to attach the laptop sleeve (like the paperwork holder) in a convenient spot, like that closet. And get one of those chain metal scrubbies off amazon to clean it with. just add a little water to the pan after cooking to loosen residue, let cool, then scrub with chain scrubby. Also, to re-season periodically with a high temp oil, like grapeseed. Grapeseed oil is a must for cast iron cooking, very high smoke point and more neutral taste than olive oil.

[@jimdreger4626]

If you use the neoprene sleeve, make sure that it doesn't seal well. You want air to get at the pan to prevent the buildup of moisture and rust.

[@deanmills5106]

I would think that an RV manufacturer would be more than interested in your feed back. I'm in the process of restoring or I should say building a trailer and you are more than helpful with your ideas. Not just in this video, but in just about all your videos.

[@patsykluting-lucas3804]

Yes I'll use that idea

[@annej5699]

In addition to fire extinguishers I decided to get some fire blankets. Right now my trailer has one extinguisher mounted by the door, near the front bed. But I also want to add additional extinguishers at the bunkbeds (across from the heat vent and farthest from the door). Adding fire blankets also gives back-up to the extinguishers, and also gives something further to grab on the way out the emergency windows. Fire blankets also smother pan fires pretty well, especially if you don't have a good lid for the pan. Speaking of pan fires -- once you cover and smother the fire DO NOT UNCOVER until that pan is completely cold on its own. Uncovering too soon can allow the fire to re-ignite. Learned in my own kitchen through direct experience.

[@nancyfava1050]

We travel with a large cast iron skillet. I put it in a plastic grocery bag and store it in our closet on its side. Works for us!

[@N30312]

[@Tamara_D]

Great ideas! Have you thought of installing a metallic backsplash? You could hang your knives, spices, magnets with clamps or hooks (dollar store) for notes/pot holders/photos. Oh the possibilities. 👍

[@cheryllapham6279]

I stack my cast iron fry pan and casserole together, then store them in a small soft sided cooler bag. The cooler has a plastic liner to protect from anything greasy on the cast iron and the padding saves my trailer if it bumps around.

[@mikemead2315]

Yeah. I use soft-sided cooler and tool bags for a lot of stuff. All my special utensils are in a $5 Walmart 12” tool bag: big spoon and fork, tongs, sharpener, oven mitt, ladle etc. I use a lot of those $5 tool bags and the $5 soft sided coolers. Great organizers and bump protectors.

[@KatyInNH]

I do the same and it works welk

[@jo-annel.wright2975]

I tried the soft sided bag for my two cast iron pans...for a bit. Now? I use bamboo paper towels to stop the rattle of any kitchen items...and I can use it to wipe up spills etc...two for the price of one.

[@_GntlStone_]

add a square of the rubber dollar store shelf liner between them to prevent shifting and scratching.

[@evanspeterg]

Could also mount on the back of a door using two supports underneath and a rotating one on top to lock it in place.

[@thelifeofjools8384]

Good ideas ! I think the first aid kit on the door is brilliant, because when it's placed inside a cupboard, it invariably works it's way deeper inside. When you need it for a plaster, you get blood on the gear that you have to move. First rate idea ! Cheers 👍

[@rgbii2]

Nice ideas. Thanks. I think the only one I'd change is the box on the tongue - maybe face it the other way in case it's left unlatched. That way the wind might keep it closed rather than the wind blowing it open.

[@tammyjeffres8155]

So, we owned a body shop for years before we had a waste oil heater fire. Mike had one of those cool, vintage, copper fire extinguishers decorating the paint booth wall across the eight bay shop, from the heater. As the temperature increased with the fire, the bracket holding the 60 y/o extinguisher melted and the cannister hit the concrete floor, dispersed its contents as it bounced across the room, and divinely smothered the fire!

[@sylviajones4907]

Thanks, Slim! Someone suggested storing skillet under mattress during travel. Just remember not to flop down on bed before removing it. 😀

[@khm2128]

I'd still put it in something airtight so it doesn't stink up the mattress, if the skillet is cast iron... just a thought.

[@DB-yj3qc]

Nice Trillium, I've been full time in my 16ft. Scamp for almost 10 years now. A tip or so I can give. Best one I know of don't get carpet, add your own after that's removable for cleaning. Do add it if using in colder weather. I'm glad I didn't. The way and place I store for travel is in paper shopping bags then stacked up together then bagged in plastic bag. Placement is under my fridge or across from it on floor. For weight balance side to side depending on if water tank filled. Otherwise my skillet sets on back burner ready for use. A trick for more counter space when cooking is about 4 ft or so of metal wire shelf. Bend to fit up over burners of stove "Legs" of it about a 13 or so inches long. The ledge of wire to keep it ridgid as shelf will do same. Coffee pot or pan can be set there to cool to.

[@arthurleslie9669]

As for the skillet ... An alternative to the previously mentioned storage: You can use an organizer made to hold plastic lids that is designed to be mounted to the back of cabinet doors. It already has a rounded bottom which would cradle the skillet. Wrapping your small skillet in a small towel will not only fill up space but prevent vibration and damage to the underlying surface. :)

[@blackoakpropertymaintenanc6981]

Exactly! I have three skillets and I put dishtowels between them while on the road. In my case, I find it easier to put them in a milk crate and put the crate in my truck while driving from one camp spot to the next. Maybe that's a cop out but they are heavy and dangerous if they ever got loose in the camper.

[@steverandall5814]

Take apart an old speaker and salvage the magnet. Screw the magnet onto the storage shelf. The magnet will keep the skillet from bouncing around.

[@thathomemademom]

[@W4KG]

Hey Slim love your new trailer. With the fire extinguisher. It's a good idea to take it out of the holder and give it a shake about once a week while traveling. This prevents the powder from setting up on the bottom and prevents it from possibly clogging up in time of need. When you shake it you'll feel the powder moving inside.

[@patsykluting-lucas3804]

Never heard that..interesting.

[@arthurleslie9669]

Steven Wilson ... I do submit it's a good idea for when the trailer is parked for a while. However, when the trailer is going down the road it gets an extremely good shake. I know that first hand. That's why it's also a good idea to check the clasp that holds it in it's hanger to insure it's still secure before traveling.

[@W4KG]

@@arthurleslie9669 Here's one for you, drive around with a box of baking soda. The road vibration will solidify It. It will settle all air space out of the powder. Higher dollar extinguishers eliminates this issue with a two chamber design one for the pressurizing gas and the other is the powder. Pressing the lever transfers the gas to the powder section fluffing it Pryor to exit out the nozzle. Smaller Marine type extinguishers don't. Just a pressurized bottle with a tube that goes to the bottom of the bottle.. It's just a good idea to give it a shake each week to eliminate this issue.

[@Jonny2myren]

13:11 Hahaha, the subtlety with which you delivered this joke was absolutely amazing :)

[@pbsalfen]

I had previously tossed around the idea of using snaps to retain various items, this video clinched the deal and I ordered a kit yesterday. I especially like the fact that the ones you recommended are stainless steel, so I can use them on the outside of my van, with minimal rust staining. Some other great ideas in this one also! Thanks for the push! Probably been mentioned somewhere else, but it looks like the door shade once had the base brackets installed on the door, but were removed at some point in time and the screws were left in the holes. The brackets would have eliminated the possibility of the shade taking out an eye.

They won’t rattle together, and they are protected with the pot holder that you will also use.

One of the things I love about your videos is the creative modifications you come up with for your trailer. You've given me permission to make mods to my next trailer, thank you! As far as where or how to store the cast iron fry pan, the first thought was a small pillowcase, just to put something around it; but then I thought about the neoprene laptop sleeve that I have for my Chromebook; that might be a better solution; or into the pillowcase and then into the sleeve, it would serve to keep the sleeve just a bit cleaner over time.

For your cast iron pan. Two options, but both involve magnets. Mount a decent strength magnet either on the side of a cabinet or into the bottom of the cabinet. If you want to go fancy, use a on/off magnets that has a rotation knob that will deactivate the magnet so you can easily remove the pan. You can DIY it, or just buy it. Cast iron will stick to the magnet and not shake about. You can cover the magnet with a rubber mat to improve traction too.

Just brought a 1983 burro to renovate, all original fixtures and lights. These tips are wonderful! Thank you for sharing. Peace!

You can find magnetic window shades for cars in Target's baby section....they're awesome...the magnets are strong.

Multiple fire extinguishers. Multiple ratings. Different access. FYI: I believe RV gas refrigerators are one of the biggest causes of RV fires.

Just stumbled across your video SP...and absolutely loved it. Combine that with your quick wit and touch of humour and I just can wait to watch more! You've got some amazing ideas & solutions....we've just purchased a 26' 1979 Class C to rebuild and make our own...and are voraciously watching videos for ideas to renovate and make it our own...as well as making sure that we take the ideas that have worked for others...let's just say at this point you're a top contender for our "keep watching" list!

Very clever ideas. I love the use of snaps for your rug and the bottle cap for the tension rods. Brilliant!

Love your ingenious ideas. I have a small camper with lots of potential. Thanks for all the info. Love your humor.

How about using a silicone flan dish to store your skillet?

I keep my cast iron pans in the empty sink when travelling and under the sink when camping

Grins, I am not about to read all the comments, but I will say I like the snap idea for my van to put up temp window coverings and to be able to put some insulation behind the covering. Thanks for the idea virus :) it grew to a couple of other ideas too.
