Organizing the Boys' Bunkhouse Room



With two boys who have tons of clothes and tons of toys, it's a good thing I'm such an organizational freak. I was actually able to organize most of their beloved toys in their bunkhouse, in the drawers as well as the storage area under the fold-up bunk. This left just the wardrobes for their clothes, so I had to get creative. Since there are no places for hangers, I thought I'd install a bar to hang hangers but realized that the width of the wardrobes is too small for a hanger to fit. Alas, I resorted to the trusty plastic storage bins. On the top shelf, I've got a big bin for long pants and a small bin for shorts. On the middle shelf, I've got a big bin for shirts and a small bin for pajamas. On the bottom shelf, I've got three small fabric bins - one for underwear, one for socks, and one for swimwear. Since the fabric bins aren't very tall, I put a wire shelf over them so that I could store small toys in stacked pencil boxes. All of the bins are labeled with their contents so that the boys can put away their own clothes and toys. All of the plastic bins, the wire shelves, and the pencil boxes can be found at Wal-Mart. The fabric bins pictures were purchased at Target.

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

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 5 th 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 laid it on the top of the regular twin m
