We are not full time, so I use those zippered pouches for packing the kids' outfits for each day. I pack their daily clothes, underwear, and socks in each one and then put them in a Target bin. Then each morning they just pull that pouch out to get dressed. Helps with them rifling through clothes and leaving things disorganized, as well as saving time. I do this for hotel trips where we are using suitcases, too, or camp.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Great idea!

[@cindykramer6117]

Do you have a link for the different size zipper bags?

[@dawnlove1014]

I also roll our clothes to prevent wrinkles.

[@adriantheising2665]

We do the exact same thing!

[@catbee1452]

We have a drunk-cabinet. It's where we keep the good stuff.

[@hikingaf6735]

[@va1445]

Putty/wax makes dusting knick-knacks in your home super easy! If you attach your decor item to the shelf, you can swipe your duster over and around them with minimum chance of knocking them over or off the shelf.

[@GratefulGlamper]

👍🏻

[@NomadicLiving]

Just ordered the grill, I've searched for something like it, thx! Btw, my cheap storage hack is to reuse the clear plastic tubs that organic salad greens come in. They are great for keeping things from rolling around in the fridge.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Great idea

[@pampire13]

Rather than buy packing cubes I repurpose the clear, zipper bags that new sheets/blankets come in. It allows me to store my clothes in the overhead cabinet in the bedroom. Without them it was an annoying mess.

[@GratefulGlamper]

👍🏻

[@jenniferrosenthal7731]

I do the same!

[@sherric.2190]

Me too!

[@sct4040]

I do the same. Buying packing cubes is ridiculously wasteful when you can reuse.

[@bigreddallas2742]

I never store clothes in any type of plastic - just asking for trouble. Mold/mildew/smelly does not happen with breathable cloth cubes!

[@whererugoing]

rather than buying a plastic bin from the Dollar Tree to hold multiple smaller items, I reuse clear plastic salad containers that you get spring mix, spinach or kale in. They are clear which is super helpful to see what is in the bin. And as shown in this video it makes it easy to get things down from those high cabinets.

[@dan596]

Not sure if this is a hack, but certainly a must have: Wearable head lamp. Invaluable to have for all those times you are doing things around the RV at night and want both hands free, whether it be pulling in late and setting up camp, breakdown on the side of the road at night, or needing to take the dog for a midnight piddle.

[@GratefulGlamper]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@flosmith4648]

We get the lights that clip onto a cap 🧢 rather than a headlamp. Way quicker to put on/off and more comfortable, too.

[@pamragland4205]

Totally agree. My kids and I have used them for years, around the farm, too.

[@lacemakr]

Vacuum bags may be a better choice for those long term items ,which are seldom used. I find the hand pump works just fine to vacuum out the air.

[@gerryp9717]

A couple of hacks to add…. We used Command Picture hanger velcro strips to mount pictures, a magnetic knife rack, and even an Apple TV unit under our wall mount TV. To reduce light coming in skylights in the mornings, we insert sheets of the silver heat insulation inside the skylight and close them in the shade. I leave those in also when the RV is stored to reduce heat in the skylight units.

[@donnariggs4747]

My husband and I lived in a 30 ft camper for 3 1/2 years I honestly enjoyed it. It's not for everyone but I just like the simple things in life..

[@eddiec4058]

Last year I bought short power strips that also have USB charger ports along with the standard 3 prong outlets. This keeps the regular outlets available at times.

[@johnlynch5221]

Also, shop at Goodwill. I found a TV for $12. Perfect size and works fine. Music CDs for $2.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Awesome!

[@heidicampbell1807]

I’m getting ready to RV full time and I didn’t know what I’d do with my huge puzzle collection. Those zip up bags will be perfect!

[@GratefulGlamper]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@PEoplearepeople]

Just cut out the small picture on the side of the box and put it in the bag as well.

[@lynnescaddan8919]

Those plastic containers are brilliant, I keep my earring in them. Easy to pack for holidays too

[@kerstenalvarado7175]

You can use a cereal container as a garbage can in the bathroom. Also I use the museum putty to lock down my non slip mats.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 how are you doing?

[@bigreddallas2742]

I don't have an RV anymore, but I love your hacks (i.e. lily pad works great for quick daily touchups on carpeted stairs so I don't have to vacuum every day and your grill is perfect for beach picnics etc.) and your sense of humor! Drunk drawers indeed!! I could add more but all I really want to say is how great I think your channel is! Ease on down the road - safely!!

[@kathyharger1502]

I love the hacks and I’m also a fan of using dollar tree products when I can. Thanks for helping a soon to be newbie!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for watching- best wishes!

[@marydaniels3095]

I have had multiple rv's through my life but you can always learn something new when viewing an object through someone else's eyes. I never thought of using a broom/mop holder for a screwdriver and flashlight. Awesome idea. I also just wanted to let you know I love your bedspread colors and white wall in the back room. Very pretty, I'm jealous.😍

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks so much! We got the bed set on Amazon amzn.to/3NpXDCR

[@MsCyberNewt]

I love Command hooks- I have several that I use for many things. I use them for Leash holders for the dogs (each dog has their own hook) and for a hook to hold my hats. I put up art using the Picture mounting command strips. I use them for SO Many things!

[@cathyvirnoche3603]

If you travel on the west coast during the summer, you may not be able to use your grill with burn bans. They restrict what you can use to bbq. Propane grills can be used but charcoal & wood fires are restricted. Just keep that in mind. Great hacks!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Good to know, thanks

[@jamesmcnamara7484]

I have replaced the useless gas grill in our outdoor kitchen with a 22" Blackstone, also have a Camp Chef pellet burner, and a 14 in 1 ninja foodi that we love. got covers for then so they can live on a table under a easy-up. Works great for my California refugee camp.

[@barbaralucas4191]

Hanging square shoe organizers are perfect for storing loaves of bread.

[@PEoplearepeople]

There are now laundry soaps that are like paper. Earthbreeze is the one we are trying. Packaging is bio degradable. Comes in the male in an envelope instead of a box. Little more expensive but huge soace saver and good for anyone with weight restrictions from injuries or physical health conditions. Great gift basket idea as well. Can store for rainy day economical struggles since they dont take up any space. 60 loads per envelope. Can store a years worth of detergant without needing and entire storage room to do so. One square ft vs one sq ft per container: Smell good.

[@amypletcher4411]

I love these hacks especially the broom holder for flashlight and screwdriver, the containers for snacks. I saw them in our Dollar Tree but was not sure if they would be air tight. What do you use for flour and sugar containers? I liked the bags for games, the cord holder, and boxes for batteries, jewelry or even hair accessories. I have a home and 5th wheel so having something to organize at home and bring back and forth is very nice!

[@GratefulGlamper]

I use the dollar tree containers for flour and sugar also, they work great!

[@pattie4456]

Yes, we have a junk drawer! We have very wide drawers in our RV. I ordered some spring loaded type dividers and was able to divide each drawer up into three which made it easier to organize. Thank you for your tips… Any of these are helpful!

Hello pattie how are you doing?

I like cord wrapper. The air fryer and instant pot are large.

[@dawnlove1014]

I love my hanging shoe rack on the door of my bathroom. I store the soaps, shampoos, lotions, feminine products, toothbrushes and paste, ect.

[@maryjanegibson7743]

You have the coffe-maker plugged into the short extension cord which hangs down from the inconveniently placed outlet --- you could combine this hack with the mounting tape and attach the power bar of the extension cord to the wall behind or beside the coffe-maker, and that would keep it from dangling down.

[@DJILLEE]

We have a drunk drawer. Other people call it the fridge.

[@GratefulGlamper]

😂😂

[@patti3566]

I use tackle boxes to make each person their own snack box for travel days....they are inexpensive and fun because each person gets to customize it to their own favorite snack foods.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Great idea!

All Genius %1000 Thanks : )

[@kscoville6939]

The collapsible grill is nice if you can have a charcoal fire. In Arizona there is always a burn ban in the summer so we need to keep our gas grill.

[@GratefulGlamper]

I have tried all kinds of organization there and home. The rug bags are one of the most clever things I've seen -- 10 stars for you ;) Can't wait to try them!

[@goofygirl1311]

Those are all such great ideas! I love the idea of "decanting" the board games into zipper pouches! I was also noticing how you made small canvas art pictures of your family at the various campsites and how you put a sticker from each campsite/adventure on the inside of your RV door. Lots of great ideas!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks!

[@mileswindham8336]

I take a larger empty prescription bottle (plastic) , put 15 to 20 cotton balls in, fill up with rubbing alcohol. Set close to fire pit, lol I love a campfire. When it’s time to fire up I simply put one to two alcohol soaked cotton balls on bottom and add kindling then light. Cotton balls burn a long time. I rubber band an old pair tweezers to bottle for extracting cotton balls.

[@lauriepayseur5897]

Also a Vaseline covered cotton ball or - to waste nothing… just take a toilet paper roll with you to do laundry.. pack the into the roll… makes a PERFECT 🔥 starter and nothing goes into the trash

[@TH-eb5ro]

The snack container can be a trash bin. Love the cord hider and grill. I've been watching that grill online.

[@msjfab1966]

I ordered clothes online and if they come in zip bag I reuse those bags. Under our rig my husband has straps to strap the golf cart down and other stuff and he just had it laying around. So a lot of the little stuff I put in those bags and you can see through them. And he knows where everything is inside the container. I also put the covers for the picnic table and those zip bags and put it inside the container. I use DollarTree baskets in the refrigerator to put stuff in to keep it organized.

[@deltas4114]

I live in my RV full-time now, having a pressure cooker and an air fryer took up too much space.... so I got rid of the air fryer and bought the air fryer lid for my pressure cooker. And to save on clean up time I bought air fryer liners for a quicker clean up. The liners are awesome, best purchases.

[@GratefulGlamper]

💙👍🏻

[@darylmarkwick2999]

dO YOU FIND THAT THE AIR FRYER LID WORKS AS WELL AS A REGULAR AIR FRYER? WE NEED MORE SPACE SAVING IDEAS

[@deltas4114]

I get your point with plastic plants. My daughter's have those Ikea plants in their rooms. Seems to me like I hear about indoor air quality in our house, and can't help wondering if RV's have the same issues. Might be worth trying to keep them alive.

That brush looks great but what I’ve been using for my super sheddy dog hair is my sneakers. The rubber soles do a great job. They’re on my feet already and it’s a lot easier to scrape up the hair with my feet then to bend over and kill my back. However the brush sounds great for those corners.

Good ideas shared. Thank you. And while I normally am quite annoyed by "sponsored" videos since I already pay to be ad free on YT, your relevance and execution was done quite well and it seemed more like another hack on the list than an ad.

I think the best is a thermostat controller in the kitchen to plug in an electric heater for when we have AC power. The electric heater sits by the dinette, while the temp sensor is in the bedroom. That way, the temp in the bedroom is controlled precisely by the heater which is out of the way by the dinette. I bought the controller and heater on amazon because the thermostats on heaters are very poor and can't control the temp in the bedroom because there is no space for a heater in the bedroom.
