Organize Your RV With a Hanging Pocket Organizer on Ladder

October 26, 2020 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

When I don’t have someone sleeping in the bunk of the motorhome, the ladder simply becomes a hanger for my raincoat on days when the weather is rainy.  And since I seldom need to go up the ladder to grab extra blankets or pillows stored up there, the ladder space makes a perfect spot to […]

March 30, 2020 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

Everyone has seen collapsible bowls, but there are a ton of different items that are great for RV’ers because they collapse almost flat to save a ton of space in the limited kitchen space available in RVs.

Conserving Water While Boondocking in Your RV

December 19, 2016 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

Keeping enough water on board your RV while boondocking can be a bit of a challenge.   First, you are limited to the amount of water your RV holds.  If you are a Class A motorhome, it won’t be as much of an issue as if you are in a pod-style travel trailer or a van.  […]

November 30, 2016 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

It seems like there is an endless battle to keep dirt, mud, grit, gravel and who knows what else from being tracked in the RV, even with a shoes off rule.  While outdoor rugs help somewhat, they can also become catchalls for that same dirt and stuff you are trying to keep from getting tracked […]

November 4, 2016 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

If you are towing a trailer, you have some important numbers to pay attention to – the tongue weight allowed by your ball hitch as well as the tongue weight restrictions your tow vehicle may have.

How Do You Know If Your Fresh Water Tank is Full?

November 3, 2016 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

The first time I went out in an RV, I got the job of watching the water tank meter – you know, those light up panels on most RVs that go from empty, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full, and watched for it to hit the 3/4 mark. Obviously, when doing a water tank solo, that isn’t […]

Always Keep Bleach in a Spray Bottle for Sanitizing Water Connections

November 2, 2016 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

Some RV owners are truly fastidious when it comes to their water hookups.  It is always smart to keep your drinking water (white) hose separate from the black hose connections and overall area.  But one problem is that your water can possibly be contaminated by those who have come before. One smart thing to do […]

How to Connect 30A RV to 50A Service

October 28, 2016 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

If you are purchasing a brand new RV, or planning to rent one, you should definitely ask and find out whether your RV is 50A or 30A.  While there are workarounds with adapters, it can put limits on what you can and can’t do.  It is usually the much larger RVs that have 50A connection, […]

Keeping Your Toothbrush Clean in a Small RV

October 23, 2016 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

With many of the smaller ultralight RVs that are so popular on the market these days, many have no cabinet space in the bathroom of the RV.  Which means figuring out what to do with things you might not want sitting out on the bathroom sink – like a toothbrush! There are some travel style […]

Grocery Bag Handles / Holders Review for Carrying Groceries

October 22, 2016 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

Sometimes when you need to lug groceries you are either walking to the grocery store from the RV park without a vehicle, or you are just picking up things like ice or water from the RV office and need to take it back to your site, but all without using a vehicle. While I do […]

October 19, 2016 by RV Chick 1 Comment

How many of you went camping as kids and there was a grocery bag under the sink or hanging off a cabinet knob that was for garbage.  And how often did it get tipped over or knocked off and made a huge mess?  And if you were the kids in this equation, you know who […]

Utilizing the Under Cabinet Space in Your RV

October 19, 2016 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

I am always looking for added extra storage solutions, and one great spot is the space underneath cabinets.  Depending on your setup, you might have extra space under a cabinet that overhangs the dinette or maybe you have cabinets that can be used above the bed or even the kitchen counters (but not above the […]
