How to Hang Christmas Stockings in an RV

How to hang Christmas stockings in an RV (or hang anything from the valances).

Those standard RV valances…pieces of plywood covered with hideously patterned fabric and fastened above the windows of your RV windows. Not exactly fashion-forward or even appealing to the eyes. But also not permanent. You can simply remove them and hang a curtain rod. Or, you can cover the fabric with a choice more fitting of your own style and dĂ©cor theme. You can even use a tension rod to hang curtains underneath the valance. All of these ways will jazz up your RV and make it look more cozy and like home. But how do you hang Christmas stockings in an RV?
Some RVs have fireplaces, but hanging stockings in front of the fireplace will cover the fireplace and not allow you to use it during the holidays. So, another option is to hang the stockings on a valance, but how?
I happened to have some cubicle hooks like these or these left over from when I used to work in cubicle land and, turns out, they work like a charm. Just insert the pointy side into the fabric and push it down. Voila! You can hang stockings, or anything, from the valance!
This really allows you to spread the holiday decorations all over the RV since now you can use your valance for decorations. You can also hang ribbon, garland, lights, ornaments, or whatever you want from the hooks, even combine elements to make the valance extra festive.
Want your own personalized Christmas stockings? We’ve had these for years and there are enough designs to get a different one for each family member, even as the family continues to expand. They’re perfect size and great quality. Get yours here.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

Organizing a Small Freezer

Image
Most 5th Wheels have what I call a 1/2 fridge. There's not a lot of space in there, so organization is a must when trying to feed a family of 4. I got sick of items falling out of the freezer everytime I opened the door. Stacking things on those shelves just wasn't working. When I took inventory of what was in the freezer, I realized that I could organize the items into three sections - breakfast items, meat items, and prepared foods. The other thing I needed space for were ice cubes, since we have an ice maker. So, I measured the length, height, and depth of the spaces and found these sturdy plastic organizer bins with handy handle cutouts. Their measurements, 8-inches square by 6-inches high, were a perfect match. Here's a 4-pack that will save you some money. This is how my freezer looks now and nothing falls out, ever.

How to Make Your RV Mattress the Most Comfortable Mattress Ever

Image
We’ve owned a couple of RVs. My parents had a pop-up then a small travel trailer (TT) when I was little. As an adult, camping and ATVing is a big part of my family’s life. We had a TT toy hauler and now a 5th wheel bunkhouse. We are now fulltime RVers, so comfortable beds are an absolute necessity. Is it possible to get comfortable beds in an RV? Many of the newer models are finally getting the hint. But, if you find yourself in an RV with the less-than-comfortable mattresses, there are some things you can do. If you’re fulltime RVers, consider keeping the mattresses from your house and putting them in the RV. Just take measurements of the space you have in the RV and compare them against the measurements of your house mattress to see if it will fit in the RV space. I did this in my boys’ bunkhouse. Their bunk holds a twin mattress size, so I just put in the beds from the house. I kept the RV mattress. It is so thin and flimsy that I attached it with safety pins to the top of the re…

Organizing the RV Basement

Image
The basement of an RV can vary in size greatly. Ours is a huge pass-through, so we use a number of organizers to keep everything neatly packed and organized.
On the side of the basement just outside the front door is where we keep all of our outdoor necessities. In the back, a hard-to-reach area, is where we store Christmas decorations and less used outdoor items such as fishing gear, a hammock, and tarps in large plastic bins. We use plastic crates to store awning lights and sports equipment. Some smaller, stackable plastic containers in the front hold bike safety gear and our outdoor decor like flags and hummingbird feeders. In the middle is where our camping chairs slide easily in and out. We have two zero-gravity chairs, a folding rocking chair to rock the baby, and some folding mesh chairs for the boys. We also have some folding tables. We have a large outdoor mat, but we fold it up and store it in the front storage area under the bulkhead. We also have a portable fire pit that w…
