so here's another thing that we use in our RV and I know that this probably like sounds
really weird [Music]
so we've been traveling in our motorhome for five years now and one
of the things that have been an absolute Lifesaver are products from Ikea so in this video we're
going to take you into Ikea we're going to show you exactly the products that we use
day in and day out and I know that you're going to want to take some notes and consider
getting some of these for your RV or just for smaller living in general so stay tuned
[Music] incredible [Music]
so when you come to Ikea first thing you want to do is grab a shopping bag because you're
going to find some stuff that you want to take home so let's grab a shopping bag and
we're gonna head upstairs and get started
all right so I'm going to show you this is something that we have in our RV and we absolutely
love but this toftbo bath mat so we have this in the RV I love it because it's super easy
to wash and it dries quickly this is something that we use in our RV day in and day out and
they have a nice like neutral color too so it's not like some crazy color scheme that
you're like it's not gonna match
so here's another thing that we use in our RV and I know that this probably like sounds
really weird but these are like bowls for kids but I find that they're the perfect RV
size bowls so we have a stack of these in the RV because they're small they work perfect
for things like cereal or like chopped up fruit or whatever and because they're Compact
and because they're plastic you have to worry about them breaking in the RV so that's another
product we use day in and day out [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
so I just ran
across a new product and this is similar to a product that I use called the park love
but this is the dimpa but I'm actually going to pick up one of these because this is like
a zippered storage bag but it has a handle and what I find for RV living is these types
of storage bags are perfect for things like blankets or clothes or things that you don't
use every single day but maybe they're more seasonal items and so you definitely want
to keep like the dust and the dirt off of them you want to be able to kind of maybe
have them compact down another thing is is things like life jackets or just other items
that you want to be able to store away covered so this is perfect it has handles and it even
yeah I thought maybe I had like a little cup holder thing why would a bag have a cup holder
right anyway it's just the way that it's stitched but with the handles and the zipper like I'm
gonna pick up one of these and then check this out over here
I'm picking up more of these too this is the parkla and I use these in our RV all of the
time for blankets extra things that we just want to keep stored away and I actually do
have our life jackets in these currently but I think they're going to fit better into that
one there so I'm gonna pick up some of these because these work great for lots of different
storage items so this is definitely coming home today [Music] oh
oh oh
you know I like it so another product that I just ran across that they have here are
these types of power strips now we use these all of the time you can get them here at Ikea
you can also find them in places like on Amazon but one thing you find in an RV is that like
the outlets aren't very strategically placed so it's nice to be able to have some sort
of an extension and just some extra Outlets so something you can pick up at Ikea for RV
life oh [Music] bins bins and more bins gotta love the bins so these are products that we
use all of the time and this is kind of almost like a staple for us but that is these types
of bins right here so they come in all sorts of sizes you've got some larger ones some
smaller ones but we use a lot of these in organization especially in the pantry because
when you were at a travel day you want to put your food in that because what you don't
want to have happen is open up that cabinet and then all the food falls out so securing
it in a bin like this absolutely love it and then there's something else that I noticed
that they have here too and I know that this seems trivial right little dustpan but let
me tell you something that's super handy is to keep a little broom handy near the doorway
and near your steps I use a little broom that I can sweep off our steps all of the time
in the RV and it just helps keep the RV cleaner so a little fine like this that you could
put right by the door awesome little tool that you want to pick up from Ikea it's the
Canova how do I look in the Canova you should I get the Canova actually though this would
keep like the rate like it'd almost be like an umbrella in a way like you keep the rain
off of your head so I do think that's super fun I'm jumping so this is the product that
we have been using in our RV for years now and that is this particular Center sta this
actually goes in our bathroom these little cups hang on it this makes perfect travel
day scents because everything's actually already stored up and out of the way and so when we
have those travel days we don't actually have to like take anything off of the counter or
clear the counter because it's all stored away already in this it melts really easily
to the RV walls and it stays nice and secure so this is a great organizational tool that
we're currently using and then another thing that we use too are these produce bags and
so actually what I do is I will use this produce bag and I will hang it in the RV so it keeps
the produce up and out of the way we're utilizing wall space but it also helps to kind of keep
it fresh and now they have these really cool different colors in these bags too the ones
I have are more of just the Plain Jane color but I really like like these colors that they
have [Music] just found this new map called the austral and I'm gonna pick one of these
up today because I have an idea of something that might work to be able to use this in
the RV that might be a better solution than what we're currently doing so you'll just
have to subscribe and stay tuned for a future video on that but I'm gonna pick this up today
and then stay tuned to see if that works future video to come
[Music]
new stuff this is so exciting and it's so exciting because it's new Bins with lids take
a look at this they've got all of these new Bins lots of different colors and lots of
different sizes which is great because RV spaces are all so different and so it's nice
to have something that you can like fit in different nooks and crannies look at this
some of these are like little baby bins cute look at the baby bin with the lid you can
stacked them too yeah you could stack them look you can just stack the baby bins they
nest in the lids but that's so cool and lots of different colors so definitely Ikea again
for the win on these bins big ones are 9.99 and then where's the price on the smaller
ones obviously I'm sure the smaller ones are cheaper but great for RV organization [Music]
so clear bins like this are your friend for like the underneath storage compartment so
if you have a class A fifth wheel travel trailer that has the storage compartments that are
on the exterior or underneath we love clear bins because then you can see exactly what's
inside of them and there's no guesswork wondering where did I put that thing or where did that
thing go you can kind of just pull it out really quickly and see what's in it so this
is definitely one of those Ikea things for RV life you want to pick up so this particular
tub we have one of these that we use in our RV and what we do is we put all of our shoes
in here and so this stays by the front door and then when we walk in we can throw our
shoes in here and then because we are back and forth sometimes from our glamper Hideaway
into our RV and back this actually makes it really easy to transport everything so you
can throw all the shoes in here and you could just carry this into the home base or carry
it back out to the RV so we absolutely love this torches and it comes in several different
colors so you got black and you have kind of this teal color or the beige color this
is definitely something we use every single day so the next thing that we use in the RV
all the time is this scoob scoob scrub Double B scrub scoob let me know how you think that
this is pronounced but we use this for storage for things like clothes under our kids bunks
but also underneath our couch area where we have some storage because you can put things
in here and then this zipper cover keeps things like dust and animal hairs because we do travel
with our pets off of them and it has a nice easy handle and so again sometimes because
we're back and forth the kids can just grab this and then take it into the house and unload
it and then be able to go put it back in the RV or load it up and then put it wherever
it needs to go most of these are stored underneath of our bunk areas so this is a product we
use all of the time [Music]
can I do eggs and bacon why don't you get the medium breakfast
and then you can get the Swedish pancakes with it
for you awesome oh okay [Music]
thank you thank you too [Music]
closet organizers which evidently are also called scoob or scub however you pronounce
that this is another product that we have found super useful for rving just because
it helps to organize your closet space and if you're in a situation like ours with our
particular closet in the back of our RV because it's a diesel pusher we have to make sure
we have access to the engine in case that we would need an engine repair so I have to
be able to move things out of the closet fairly quickly if I need to so this is really easy
to be able to take down if I need to and set back up but gives us lots of extra space in
the closet for organization here's another version of the closet organizers except for
this one is the stuck stuke stuck stuck so if you're stuck on closet organization there
you go the key also has some fun just kind of like home decor items and so we actually
have picked up this little sign that says traveler and we have this hanging on the inside
of our RV it's just kind of fun and you know reminiscent of what we're all about so another
thing that Ikea has are these fake plants now I have been schooled after our last video
that fascia faker
means fake in Swedish so there you go but I love having these for Decor in the RV because
I just use some poster putty to affix them so that they don't come off on travel days
but I also don't have to worry about taking care of them no water no dirt no mess and
they look nice
so one of the things to keep in mind is that Ikea is actually a company that builds things
for smaller living and Tiny living so if you need something Furniture wise whether that
be a couch a desk some sort of organizational dresser space check at Ikea check the measurements
that you have for the space check the type of furniture they have here because chances
are Something's Gonna fit and the best part is because it comes disassembled you can fit
it through your RV door and then assemble it inside of your RV making it super easy
to get it set up
so one thing I always like to do when I come to Ikea is check what I call their scratch
indent section sometimes there could be some really good Bargains in there but it can also
be hit and miss so kind of a little bit like treasure hunting to see if there's anything
good so we're gonna go check it out today and see what they've got like these couches
man if that couch wasn't white could you imagine a white couch oh so here's a little known
fact about Ikea in the scratch and dent section A lot of times they'll have some of these
like boards and things from bookcases or items that have been returned and you can buy just
like one-off pieces so if you're a diyer and you're wanting to do a project inside of your
RV where maybe you're wanting to build a cabinet front or something like that you can actually
come and pick up some of these already pre-finished
pieces for really inexpensive and have a really
nice DIY project it's only it's only three dollars and this could be touched up with
um like some pencil or just use the other side well the other side has the holes in
it but still three bucks like that definitely is an easy right here's another one that would
make like a good cabinet front
this one's nine dollars yeah and again stuff that could really be easily touched up so
if you're trying to do a DIY project and make cabinets
cinnamon buns I have to say no I have to say no oh here is another thing that they have
at Ikea are these food storage containers now I use something very similar to this for
things like rice and Pasta in the RV because it just is an easier way to store things and
it keeps things just more organized so this is another great find at Ikea are these types
of food storage containers so these blue Ikea bags evidently it's called the fracta I love
these for lots of things so we're gonna actually get one of these today to carry our stuff
in but I love these for groceries for going to the beach for carrying stuff back and forth
from the RV laundry like you name it these are great multi-purpose bags because they're
nice and big and you can fit all sorts of stuff in them I've actually even used these
like in the back of a car for organization so 99 Cents definitely a good organizational
tool for anything in life foreign [Applause]
[Music] [Applause]
[Music]
did you hear that what did you say well he's like I hope you know him I'm like
I don't I don't know who this guy is he's stalking me with the camera
stalker or creepy stalker because one thing that you will find when you're RV living [Music]
so another thing that we
oh my God
I know it's tempting very tempting back on the
healthy eating wagon on the healthy eating wagon for now so you'll have to let me know
which of these was your favorite finds let me know in the comments below I'm also going
to put a couple other videos up here about Ikea finds and some great things that you
can find at Ikea that we didn't necessarily talk about in this video if we don't see you
out on the road or around the campground we'll see you in the next video
