Dollar Store RV Finds: Cheap Wallet For Safety & Quick Access Cash

When I was recently at the dollar store, I happened to notice some funky wallets with a pattern to match the RV decor.  And while thinking uses for it, I realized that this would be a perfect way to be able to keep a wallet handy without showing everyone where I keep my wallet and purse in the RV.

There are always reasons you need to have a wallet and cash accessible while in the RV.  Maybe you need to pay a campground attendant that visits each site.  Maybe someone in the next campsite is selling cookies or chocolates for a group or charity.

Now, like most people, I hide my wallet with my cash and credit cards in the RV… but what use is that hiding spot if I end up having to show people where that is?  This is where a backup wallet for the RV comes in hand.

What I will keep inside:

• Photocopy of my ID
• Cash in small bills – depending on where I am, anywhere from $15-50
• Copies of any camping cards I have (discount cards, membership cards)
• Change for vending machines and washing/shower facilities

This wallet I will keep in a drawer by the door, so I can grab it easily without showing the entire campground where my real wallet is.

You can use a real wallet or a small zip style bag.  And dollar stores always have something suitable.
