So in this video I have got 10 super easy things to implement with RV life things we're
implementing but here's the kicker sometimes I have found out that actually the smallest things
can make the biggest difference and I just found a new product that I am super stoked about cuz it
solves a really big problem let's jump [Music] in all right so the one thing that I have found
out big bang for your buck is get yourself one of these squeegees from the Dollar Tree now obviously
this can be used in the shower but my favorite use for this is a little unconventional in the sense
of we do travel with pets but even if you don't travel with pets just like life in general this
is great to get things like pet hair and other things out of carpet that the vacuum tends to
miss now this is actually after vacuuming so this is stuff that my vacuum didn't get super handy
an RV is very very different from a Sticks and Bricks environment because I feel like there's
so many more like nooks and crannies and the way that things are seamed together and that is where
this little handy dandy cleaning sponge comes in because of The Ridges that it has on it it just
gets into some of these like smaller spaces to make cleaning easier even if you've been in your
RV just for a couple of weeks it is crazy how much dirt and hair and lint start accumulating
so the next thing is literally solving the hugest problem for us and that is in an RV
you've probably noticed that things like fruit flies or little Nets or
even mosquitoes depending upon the area of the country that you're camping in can be a
huge problem inside the RV now we have tried all sorts of different solutions, of course,
you can do the DIY fruit fly traps great for fruit flies not so much for other pests like
mosquitoes we've had one of those El ronic like tennis racket things that we've gone around the
RV with and tried to kill bugs at night before we go to bed but I have found this new product
called the Katchy now this is similar to something that we used to use called a dynatrap where it
has a UV light so it attracts the bugs but then this fan sucks them into the Trap and
the sticky pad at the bottom sticks them to it and it gets rid of them for ever so I am like
super thrilled this solves a huge problem definitely a must have from now on for RV
life now this next tip I am like where has this been all of my life and why did I not
realize this sooner you've probably noticed in the majority of RVs the shower enclosure
is either glass or it has a glass door and they are super hard to keep clean with all of the
soap scum but enter my little friend called rainx now just recently introduced to putting
this this on your glass in your glass shower enclosures in your RV oh look at how it just
falls off wow like literally look at that like it just you could see it and the water and the soap
scum actually just bead up and rinse off versus having this sticky soap scum film so rainx for the
wind so this next hack is super easy because it literally costs you nothing and actually
it saves you time so that is is when you doing laundry especially in an RV because chances are
you're either using laundry facilities or you just have your own washer dryer but that is is
when you go to put anything that needs to go on a hanger versus where you're putting it on a hanger
and you're hanging things up one at a time you're going to be doing this instead so what I'm going
to do is I'm actually going to take all of these shirts and I'm going to actually just lay them
out on top of each other one by one so then you just take your pot P of hangers that you need and
because these are all laid out you can just put the hangers on them one by one and fold it over
and then that way when you go to hang these up in your closet you're only really just having to
do this one time this is like such a timesaver I honestly again don't know why I didn't learn this
little hack sooner un believable such a timesaver now I know in RV it is not very long of a distance
from here to here but when you were doing this multiple times a week every little bit truly
does help we want to thank carara for sponsoring today's video carara offers portable kitchen tools
including induction cooktops portable Hood fans and their newest product called Beyond cookware
which includes a fry pan sauce pan Dutch oven and sauté Pan the new cookware is induction
incompatible and it can also be used on a propane or gas stove as well an interesting feature is how
quiet it really is because of the technology used for the bottom of the pan I just couldn't believe
how quiet it was on our induction cook top the ceramic coating is free from harmful chemicals
and you might remember that we tested out the hood Togo fan a few months back and it has been great
for cooking inside of the RV without having to open any of the roof vents they now have
the hood fan available in colors to match the cookware which just helps our RV kitchen feel
more like home and there's some great discounts in sales for Black Friday and during the month of
December we've got all of the details and the discount codes in the description below this
video and a huge thanks to Siara for sponsoring this video and their continued support of our
Channel now if you've watched this channel for any length of time you probably know I really
love organization and so that's why what I've got going on in in here right now is totally
like bothering me on a major level and I need to do something different so I have got this Lazy
Susan on Amazon that I think is going to work really really well for this space we're going
to find out right now this is going to work the way I think it is so I am just so excited
because there's just something about like I don't know organization when something works
better that makes my heart so happy but this like little turntable that's acrylic so not
only is it easier to just see things cuz you can see through it but what I love about this
is these sections there's four of them and they actually lift out can pull it out if you need
to pull it out here's your coffee and your tea and put back in if you wanted to put something
different in some of these sections you could pull some of these triangle type sections out
really just customize it and make it work for the space that you have but I feel like so much
more organized in this area now and it's not bothering me is bad having this little tool
so the next thing is that in RVs if you've lived the RV life for any length of time you
have probably figured out that lighting can be somewhat of an issue especially if you do happen
to have a little bit older RV like we do but we've seen this on the new ones too where just
we want Lighting in an area and it's just not very bright in that particular area of the RV
so I've got this little cubby up here because we did modify it super dark and it's hard to
see anything here and I've tried a couple of different options with just like the Dollar
Tree stick on lights those have been falling down it's just not worked well so I actually
found these on Amazon so this is basically like a portable wall scon but what I love about this
is that it's portable so you can actually pull it down off of the magnet and use it like as a
flashlight if you would need to to get up and use the bathroom in the middle of the night
or just whatever you need to do but it's also USB rechargeable so it doesn't take batteries and then
with it being USB rechar chargeable you're using that 12vt power versus having to use the inverter
of your RV so let's check this out because I am so excited and look at this because of the ball mount
nice it like pivots and is it on there pretty good oh this is not coming down like on a travel
day guaranteed this is not going to come down but now I can see everything in here see this is what
I was doing before is that I had this little like push button light see the batteries have
already died on this thing because it's battery powered so this is just that's junk that's but
amazing all right so the next thing that I have been kind of wanting to give a try to is this
like cleaning gel putty stuff now this is kind of marketed for like computer keyboards or like
even like the vents of your car the cup holder of your car cuz it just gets into these like little
tight nooks and cranny spaces but I thought this would be great for an RV because of all of these
like nooks and cranny spaces specifically for us I feel like the window tracks in an RV because
of how the windows are built accumulate so much like dust and dirt and lint and frost pet hair so
I wanted to give this a try and see how well it works to pull that kind of stuff out we're going
to find out like how well stick it down in there quite a bit we'll see if it is not really pulling
anything so this might be a fail this could be a fail I think I'm going to have to CH this one up
to just a fail when it comes to the RV now cup holders and stuff for the car like it's marketed
for probably works great but didn't really work for what I wanted it to work for in here probably
going back to that like cleaning sponge I bet that's going to be a better fix they're not all
going to be winners they're not all going to be winners not all going to be [Music] winners the
next thing that I recently changed up and I do feel like it's a total theme with rving is that
you just like evolve and you find things that work better than maybe what you were using at first but
this acrylic container for all of like my makeup and my toiletries now I don't wear a ton of makeup
I'm just more of a minimalist on all levels of my life including like makeup and stuff like that
literally all of my makeup my deodorant kind of toiletry stuff fits in this little bin but what
I love about it is that it's portable so because we are back and forth from the glamper Hideaway
into the RV back to the Hideaway it's really easy to set this on the bathroom counter and
the Hideway pick it up bring it into the RV and vice versa and everything is right here versus
actually feeling like I have to pack my bags every time that we come in the RV we really try to keep
things simple to where all we're really adding for the most part is clothes and food and then
of course some small toiletries like this so this is definitely def itely been a win in my
book so the snack tip is something that I literally get asked about in the comments
messages on Facebook Instagram the whole thing and that is about the pictures that we have on
our wall to decorate our RV now what I use are these here from mix tiles now this is
not a sponsor I have personally paid for every single one of these because I absolutely love
them they have an adhesive strip on the back so they mount on the wall very easily these
are super super lightweight but the thing is is you can actually pull them off put them
back on they can be reused over and over again and there's just something for me about being
surrounded with all of the photos from just the amazing places that we have been now in this RV
so I can't think of a better way to decorate the RV than memories and the experiences that we've
all shared along the way so this was at the Cincinnati Reds game this summer and it was
amazing there was a rainbow it just the the whole thing so it's all embodied right here in a photo
was it the Cincinnati Cincinnati including the dirt and the dust so pay no mind to the
man behind the screen that's what it's going to do okay see that's disgusting it's I know
why did you tell me to make this sound [Music] I don't know why it's so funny it is kind of oddly
satisfied so right up here I have 30 cheap easy DIYs that you're going to love for RV living if
we don't see you out on the road or around the campground we'll catch you in the next video
