Re-doing our vanity area

Re-doing our vanity area by turning it into our personal business/finance file area.

Tension bars and on-command Velcro can do wonders in holding things together.  This leaves us room for a fan, back-up camera re-charger and smart phone cleaning station.

How we will keep food warm

How we will keep food warm without using our oven.  Kathy will be cooking a lot of slow cooker and or pressure cooker meals along with soup salads and sandwiches. I do the driving, most of the camp set-up and most outside cooking.

So for me I use a Colman multi fuel stove and mostly cast iron skillet's and at times campers dutch ovens.  Hear are my two best warmers an 8 inch skillet with 10 inch DO lid which I cook the potatoes and meat and set it aside to stay warm.  The two handled 8 inch pan is great to hold the buttered toast.

 My final cook is the individuals eggs either in a aluminum skillet like here or in a small cast iron skillet I use both on a regular basis.

The above is just one example.  Setting cast iron asside off heat will keep its contents warm for 15 minutes or so depending many things.

Down Sizing

Down Sizing is painful, but we are doing it!  We have given our kids what they want and they have been helping us with the downsizing.  We did end up renting an 8x8x8 environmental controlled storage unit.  We will re-evaluate when we come back in a year (probably in May) for our annual check ups.The garage is on the left and we are just starting to pull out stuff.  On the road full time by the end of this month.

Learned that not everything can be stored in a storage unit so we gave to our kids or will sell.  Also we are selling one of our cars (looks like at a loss) bottom line it will be off our books.  No more car payments here or auto insurance for it as well, saving us hundreds a month.

Sun Screens Over Main Windows

Temp hit 100 degrees F the other day so I went to Home Depo and got a 2x10 roll of solar bubble wrap.  Our biggest window is over the dinette with the second biggest our escape window in the bedroom. Please note our RV windshield does not count here we have a cover and solar shield for it already.

 The above window is at our Dinette and measures 31 inches by 20 inches and the solar screen rolls up quickly when needed.

 Above here is our bedroom escape window and also where we mount our rear camera to watch our car on a dolly when traveling hooked up.  You can just see our escape handle tied to the ladder to assist us exiting in an emergency.

 Above you can see one of our bedroom windows with the day and night shade pulled down, still a lot of light/heat can enter through the bottom. I am coming up with an idea to atleast cut down on the light leakage.

Here is another window in our bedroom with only the day shade pulled down.  So without the night shade down a lot of light gets in. I am debating on if I want to add solar shades\ to these last two smaller windows as well.
