have you ever had a problem while you've been living RV life and said to yourself man somebody
should make a product to fix this well stay tuned because in this video you just might
see that product or mod or hack that you've been wondering about where has this been all my life
to make RV life easier we are Charity Ben Dakota and Trinity we decided we didn't want to wait for
a life of adventure so in 2017 we bought our first RV and set off to live a life of travel in the USA
we've visited over 38 states in three years and have many more to go
follow along to learn all the best places to see RV and travel tips and much more
thank you so much for coming back to the channel this is actually
part two of a two-part series on RV hacks mods upgrades tips and tricks so if you
have not watched part one you want to make sure that you do that after this video is
over because we've got a ton more things that we're talking about in that first video
and we just didn't have time to put it all in one video so welcome to part two
now this is a must have product for RV life this is called nano tape and so this is
clear double-sided tape it does not damage walls it can actually be washed and reused and so
I have used this to mount these boxes this holds up to five pounds by the way
so I have these boxes mounted here for things like toiletries and things like that on travel
days I don't have to do anything it's already all right there and so it's secure this saves
a ton of time during the packet process and then I also have this for mounting this box over here
that I got from Hobby Lobby I can stick my journal in it my phone chargers and it's up and out of the
way so this is my new best friend and for any rver this is an absolute must-have I will put a link
in the description below and it's available on Amazon you can sometimes find this at Home Depot
as well and sometimes other stores but this I got on Amazon it's worked great it'll be below for you
so the next very inexpensive mod and upgrade that we did in here and we actually did this during
our RV renovation so if you'd like to see more about our RV renovation you can check that out
right up here but these button lights from Amazon and we will put a link in the description below
before what was over here were these horrible like sconce type lights that stuck out from the
wall I do not know why RV manufacturers tend to do that but these are very flush and literally you
just touch it and it comes on and you touch it again and it goes off very easy to install
so we replaced all of these sconce type lights throughout our whole rig with these button lights
now this next product is something that I found out about when we very first started
RV life I still have this same one today and that is this rolling drying rack for dishes
so I love this because I set it out over one side of the sink so when you're doing dishes to be able
to just set them up here and it doesn't take up hardly any counter space I can leave it this way
I can roll it back to be able to access this side of the sink if needed and then
put it back over the sink to dry dishes and then on travel days it just rolls right up and then I
can just stick it right here on the counter and it actually helps to secure some of my soap and stuff
that I have back behind the sink on those travel days so this is like the best purchase I ever
made on Amazon I'll put a link in the description below and you're gonna love this part super cheap
so this is a product I love for RV life for lots of different purposes but the purpose I want
to tell you about in this video specifically is being able to use this kind of shelf liner paper
to be able to put things on the counter and have them not move during travel days so
probably the bane of every rver's existence is those travel days when you've been at a
campground for a few days and you've spread out and then you have to try to pack everything down
before you leave so what I have found works great is taking some of this shelf liner paper
putting it on the counter or we've even done this on the dinette with like laptops and the dinette
but if you put some of this down and you have something that's a little bit heavier
and then you put this on top of your shelf liner paper ain't moving unless that your driver is just
a maniac but nobody's really a maniac when they're driving an RV but this is not going to go anywhere
like it is nice and solid there so using this on the counter underneath of those heavier things
your instant pots your toasters whatever you might have on the counter some bottled water
it will keep it secure on those travel days which means less to have to pack
and you can get on the road faster during those days that you're moving
so I am obsessed with this particular product for RV life and how much this has improved RV life
when it comes to showering and just drying off with towels so these microfiber travel towels
from venture fourth are just have been a life changer so if you check out my video on laundry
and you can check that out up here you can see why that I love these from a laundry perspective but
these dry so fast and especially if you're any area where it's just even slightly humid you
know that when you hang up a regular Terry Cloth towel it doesn't get dry I mean it can be three
four days down the road and it's still not dry these dry so fast when they are hanging up
and then the other thing is is that as far as a space standpoint these compact down so well that I
can fit six towels in the same place that I would only be able to fit three towels so I can have
twice as many towels as before just because they roll down so nicely so I'll put a link in the
description below for you these are on Amazon and here's the other cool thing these towels are from
a company called Ventureforth and I reached out to them because I have loved them so much
that they actually gave us a discount code for our viewers so that will be down below
in the description as well and that'll give you a discount on purchasing these on Amazon
now here is an absolute must-have and this has made RV life so much easier but this is a really
inexpensive little mod and that is using these quick connects for the water hookups so basically
how this works is it's similar to like air tools when you hook up air tools to a source like a
compressor so I've got this installed on our water inlet and on the end of the water filter and I
just pull this back and click it on and it is good to go no screwing it on when we're ready to pack
up you just pull it off and quick disconnect so this is a time saver but also just a fun little
mod that makes hooking up and disconnecting at campgrounds go a little bit faster
so another product that we absolutely love for RV life and this is actually something that we
use when we're out in the RV but also when we're at our home base around the fire and that is these
extra long disposable marshmallow roasting sticks now what I love about these is that they first of
all are disposable I am not trying to clean up sticky marshmallow they're semi-pointed so
they're not super sharp when you've got children the last thing you want them running around with
is something that's extremely sharp and or hot metal so I don't know who thought of those
extendable forks but not the ideal thing for your 11 year old boy to be running around with
so I like these for that and then when you're done you can just throw them in the fire or
put them in the garbage they're bamboo so they're 100 biodegradable you don't have to feel bad about
harming the environment in any way so we love these these actually are our own private label
grateful glamper we'll put a link in the description below for these on Amazon
and they come in this nice pouch so you get 110 of them so enough to last you all summer
long but they're in this nice bag where you can just throw it in your storage area of your RV
and you're ready to go for wherever that you end up doing a campfire
so this particular product we absolutely love for RV life but just camping in general and that is
these are all natural fire starters so these are actually just wax and wood shavings and these were
great especially if you have like one of those super cool new solo stoves these work great
for being able to start a wood fire in those solo stoves now the wax since it's paraffin wax the wax
actually burns up so it doesn't leave any sort of residue or anything like that in a fire pit
or a solo stove or anything like that this is also one of our private label products on Amazon
so we'll have a link in the description below but we'll also give you a discount code
just for our viewers on this channel to be able to get these on Amazon with a discount
