Hey Jared I hope your keeping an eye on the cabinet around the water kettle. We noticed that the steam it produces has permanently fogged our solid black walnut wood cabinets. That being said. it probably will make quick work out of particle board or MDF cabinets. It's best to pull that Ketel away from the cabinets and let the steam vent to the larger open room.
Also: instead of the ninja, we use a Magic Bullet! they take up very little space and are easy to clean up with if you fill the cup with soap and water and give it a spin and then rinse..
@@miketomas8564 Hello - the link for the RO with PH Remineralization isn't working. Are there any other links that you can provide on that product/system that you have? Did you do the installation on it yourself? Much appreciated! Thank you.
Apparently the Splatter Dome is AWESOME, because they are sold out :)

Hi John!
My name is Anna and my husband and I are the owners of L.ī.Q. Inc (pronounced "like"). We are the creators of SplatterDōm 😊. This AMAZING video has caused us to sell out in a few hours but we have replenished the inventory and you are now able to order for deliveries for next week (🤞🤞🤞).
Great info.
A few thoughts after 29 years of RVing…
1) Keep a light rubber band on the arm of the paper towel holder… when you have a breeze coming through the rig (our towel holder is right by the door) just pul the band over the roll the paper towels won’t blow or unroll.
2) Poster putty in the stationary dept is GREAT for every wall or counter item to stay stable during travel
3) Get curtain tension rods which are much cheaper than RV tension rods for your fridg or cabinets. Have a few extra for the shower when drying wet clothes.
4) water filter pitcher!!! It makes the best ice too
5) our first Corelle plates are still in use and I have a basket in the cabinet that allows me to stand the plates on end (I put a paper plate in between each plate) and the bowls sit flat with cups all together. At meal time I can just pull the basket out or easily grab a plate etc.
6). HAVE FUN!!!
If you don’t have a paper towel holder with tension, try Viva paper towels. They adhere to themselves so they don’t unroll down the road.
Yup! These and the blue shop towels, I love those.
Crap Jared!!! This is the first video you put out that I was tempted to give a thumbs down! 95% of all the crap you mentioned I now have to buy! Most of the RV accessory videos I’ve watched either I’ve already owned or I don’t need. Please for the sake of my checking account please hold off on these kind of videos for a little while and just stick to repairing things.
Another great vid, my wife’s tip is square pans fit best on the stove top and utilize the space most effectively. Thanks.
I don't know if anyone else has told you this yet but I REALLY appreciate how well produced your videos are. On top of being extremely inform and helpful, it's easy to watch. Thank you!
I like the toaster oven idea but worried about it getting too hot in that space (our home toaster oven gets really hot around the sides). Have you ran into any issues with yours getting too hot in that small space?
If you have a lid for your Yeti Mug, you can use it as an egg separator. The egg whites will exit thru the sipping hole into the mug or small bowl while the egg yolk remains on top.
Love your suggestions. Here's one that we did that makes setup and tear-down so much easier - quick connect water connections. On the RV, the filter and the filter to faucet.
Here in Texas, we use an oven thermometer to check the temperature outdoors.
Thanks for the great suggestions! Some of our favorite kitchen items are my grandparents old corelle dishes (that are almost indestructible) and a collapsible dish drying rack!
For those who do have a microwave Corelle is great since you can’t use melamine in the microwave
Bought corelle dishes for the RV because of the size and durability. 1 year later we had an accident and roled the RV. Not one single corelle dishe broke. All the plastic bins in the RV broke but not the corelle dishes. Best stuff ever.
I have had older Corelle dishes break. Usually they have been used primarily in the microwave and after years can become fragile.
When you have power, an Induction cooker is great for the RV. It doesn’t heat up the RV and it’s very fast. It also is low power since the temperature can be controlled so well from 140 to 400 deg F. Duxtop is only $50 something.
That’s a good price
I love my single burner hotplate. It takes up little to no space when in use and fits neatly in a drawer.
I don’t find the velcro strap on my paper towels too annoying. My little travel trailer “oven” however, is TOTALLY useless. We can’t get anything to cook right in it. The flame is right below the food so the bottom is burnt to a crisp, while the top is still raw, and we have a thermometer and the temp is way out of control. So it’s now storage for the pots and pans sadly. I’d like to swap it for a toaster oven but it’s built in with the stove! lol.
Thanks for the info. We use a Berkey water filtration system, which can make river water drinkable, if necessary.
Love my toaster oven! It is from the 70’s and still going strong!
Where do you store these things in particular the ice maker when you are using it not traveling. Thanks
I didn't see a pizza stone in your oven. An unglazed tile you can get at Habitat for Humanity is about $2. It evens out the temperature in an RV oven and makes it much better for baking things!
If you keep your microwave, the collapsible silicone popcorn poppers are FANTASTIC
Good tip
I’ve watched your videos from the very beginning
Short and sweet. Full of practical information. Thanks for continuing your channel
Great video as usual. We wouldn't give up our microwave for so many reasons, from heating water up for tea/coffee to water for dishes and defrosting frozen items. Out latest addition in our rig was a Pizza Pizzazz. Yep , pizza, cookies, horderves. Love it!!
I make a lot of rice at home. But it doesn't have to take up space on your stovetop. Well, it does ... at first. I make mine by first bringing the water to a boil. If you're making a cup of rice (usually enough for my wife and me for a single meal), you want to boil slightly less than a cup of water, like 7/8 of a cup. Get it boiling real well, then toss in the rice and give it a stir. As soon as the water starts boiling again. remove the pan rom the heat and set it aside. It doesn't have to be on the stove. If you have a trivet that can protect your counter from the hot pan, you can set it anywhere. Then, ignore the pan and continue with the rest of the meal. By the time everything else is ready (or 5-10 minutes, if you prefer), the rice will be ready.
We use the "minute rice" variety, available in brand names and many grocery chains carry their own house brand. It all works as good as any other. At my house, the rice comes out perfect every time. Now, I live at high altitude, between 7 and 8 thousand feet above sea level, so the amount of water or the time required may have to be adjusted elsewhere. But this method is simple and, once the water is boiling, frees up that burner to be used some other way.
Really like that splatter guard idea! I find RV ovens are a waste of space for weekend warriors.
Good video have you ever used a backsplash mounted magnetic knife and utensil holder? Just curious if it would work for an rv
Maybe it was just me , but that looked like Turkey bacon ! Sacrilege!!!!!
Great Vid!! - For a blender I use a handheld immersion blender, it works for all kinds of stuff including smoothies, and is very compact.
I carry a tabletop single element induction burner - I use it a lot outside for bacon and onions so as not to smell up the RV - It's VERY fast and controllable.
I LOVE my icemaker! - I fill my super cooler with it - it paid for itself in the first year by not having to pay for park ice!
Word. The immersion Blender is versatile af and saves a ton of space.
Use the blender to grind our morning coffee beans.
@@larryjohns8823 Great idea! - Thanks!
I am a stationary rv’er, but so many of your tips and suggestions are helpful for me too! Thank you for all of your great research and recommendations!
Cutco knives!!! Expensive, a big investment but the only set you'll ever need! If they need sharpened the company does it for you. My niece was selling them and so that's how we got ours, favorite set ever!
I would agree as to removing the microwave and exchanging for a toaster oven. I only wished that we could have a induction cook top instead of propane.
After seeing other RVers rave about that paper towel holder, I got one for our house. Within a month, it started to hang really low like it was going to fall apart. It never did fall apart and retained tension but it looked so pathetic, I replaced it. I use a little clothes pin in our RV for travel days - just clip the top towel with a few more layers behind it. The hands free tearing is a luxury we've had to give up.
If you are having trouble with paper towels unrolling when you drive, try twisting large rubber bands onto the horizontal holder bar. I use #84 or 64 for their bulk until it is near 1/4 inch smaller than the towel tube. That helps on the road and when tearing off a sheet as it minimizes the freewheeling roll.
I’m all for anything that doesn’t leave a wet spot behind. 🤣😂 (Sorry, I couldn’t resist)
Love my ninja foodie. We cook probably half our meals with it in some capacity. Saves a ton on propane.
Our gKids ea have a color... For everything! Cups, Towels, Bath Caddy, blankets, sheets.......
a convection microwave works just like an airfryer, they are the same thing
Sorry, will not remove the micro/convection for a toaster air fryer. We always add chocolate to the smoothies. Nice pan cover. Thermometer is also in freezer and fridge as a backup. Instant Pot, yes,yes. Ice maker we need. The RO takes to long, yes Berkey in use but still painful and slow.
Hi Jared, Really enjoy your videos. We've used the ole fashion electric skillet for 20+ yrs. Cooking bacon etc outside to keep the smell out of the RV and able to keep the kitchen area cleaner. They come in different sizes and prices.
Who doesn’t want to smell bacon?
Me, too. I have a big one.
I am surprised that you are not using the air fryer for bacon. Also, if you haven't found one yet there are silicone mats that work inside the smaller toaster/air fryer. U found one at Tuesday morning.
I’ll have to check that out.
Love love love this content. I’m the cook in the family and these ideas has me ready to revamp our trailer kitchen. Thanks again Jared. ⛺️🙏🏼❤️😎
Thank you, glad it helped!
Be careful on air fryer dimensions. Fryer linked would fit in the space where my microwave was but the user's manual also states that you should allow an additional 5" on the sides, top, and back to allow for airflow. My space wouldn't allow this.
Yes. You are correct to point this out.
We love our induction hot plate. Small, light, quick warm up, and very little heat in the room.
I’m in a 20 foot TT and most of these ideas are predicated on having extra storage space and 110 AC. Both concepts I won’t see a lot of. Another set of suggestions would be nice for boondocking or smaller rigs.
Check out my comments just posted.
How does the reverse osmosis system iwork out if not used for a 2 week period? We’re weekend campers every other week and struggle to find a filter system that doesn’t get “funky” if not cycled for a week or two.
Curious the longest you have let it sit with water in the system and the first time used after that downtime. Thanks, Ryan
I am curious as well. We have a Culligan system in our home, and that system specifically states if its sits for more then 7 days, to run the water for 15 minutes.
Use the silicone Bar-b-que mats on the bottom of your oven.
Keeps your oven clean, take them out and wipe them off.
Use them under your electric fryer and griddle too.
Fairly cheap.
Hi
Since you are using your pit boss now instead of the black stone you really need to cok your bacon on the pitboss omg so much better try it I think you'll really love it.
I’ll give it a try. Does it make a big mess?
No it really doesn't I put it straight on the grates no pan about 300 deg
Excellent video. One thing we’ve been using which you may have but not mentioned has been a silicon dish drying mat. It doubles as a hot plate and we put it in the oven on traveling days to put the extra frying pan on as the pan will stay stable as the camper is rocking down the road quite nicely.
Great tips thanks!
Genius. Thanks!
We try not to fry inside the camper, we use a portable butane burner. Its portable, its light, and the butane cans last a good while. I bought a pack of 12 on Amazon before.
Question, since you took out the microwave what do you use for venting of cooking or baking? Seems like you would allow a lot of steam and vapors to remain in the trailer. Just curious.
Do you use a stone in the oven?
Good day!
As a fellow bacon lover try cooking the bacon in your Air Frier, that's the only way I cook it now, less grease/less mess, Unless I have my Camp-Chef Griddle setup outside for the longer stays. I have one of the round Air Fryers with the pull out tray not for sure if the one you have is that easy to clean.
Love the channel!
Hi, I have a double sink and my wooden cutting board fits over one side. So I have more counter space. I also like my colaspeable drain and pan for the sink.
Great video! Love the ideas. I have a question though, how do you keep your appliances in place while driving? For example the toaster oven? Or your dishes? I'm assuming they go into a cabinet or in some sort of storage... if not please share how. Again thanks for the great video!
Great ideas. I use my NuWave induction electric cook top and my NuWave Oven....both use minimal electric power and helps reduce the amount of propane I use. Also, keeps RV much cooler in the summer when cooking in extreme temperatures!
Agree, took out my microwave too. That cabinet now holds my Keurig coffee maker and George Foreman grill. I also carry an Instantpot with airfryer in it and my 40 year old Osterizer Blender with the food chopper attachment. Im full time and also use a BabyQ for BBQ. Depends on if I have shore power or am using my solar. For total boodocking I use some propane stove/oven. Love my collapsible colander/dish drainer. The cabinet door panel that I use for a stove top cover to add counter space and keep the stovetop dust free is priceless! :) Oh, and the usb tent fan that I hang for extra ventilation is awesome and super quiet.
We are in a 25' Couples RV and have 1 silverware drawer so I found a small oval metal kitchen container (with a handle for carrying it outside too) to store all my other cooking utensils in. My husband took some thin wood pieces and made a divider inside the container, for four separations. It lives on the counter except for travel days, then it goes in the sink. Easy access for everything I need to cook with.
Nifty
Thanks for sharing. I always look forward to seeing your videos. Still on the fence with the melamine dishes.....
Great tips about your fav kitchen tools. I love all your videos; we have used many of your tips and acquired many of you’re suggested items.
One question I have, what is your favorite portable air compressor? I’m looking for a Father’s Day present for my husband. Thanks Jared!
I love RADA knives and brought all of mine when we went full time back in 2020 and they have a sharpener that I have used for years. This sharpener can be used for any type of knife except scalloped edge and I use it all the time.
We love your videos Jared!
Thank you!
Liked the tensioned paper towel holder idea. Our first trip resulted in the entire roll unrolling by the time we got to where we were going. We just use Viva paper towels now. They stick to each other, it's hard enough to get one off the roll anyway.
I put a rubberband around mine and the TP too.
Loved your video as always. We have one of those portable ice makers and my complaint with them is the ice does not get a good hard freeze so it melts quite quickly. What I do is dump it out on a cookie tray and put it in the freezer. When it is good and hard it goes into a bowl in the freezer and that is where we use the ice from.
Very good content thank you. We picked up two we like. The oven thermometer and knife sharpener. We have never had an oven in the past but now do. We have used it once. Your spot on with the knives. They are repurposed from the house. Take care!!
My microwave is also a convection oven. Conventional oven is a shelf or removed for a larger shelf.
Great Video. We use our microwave/convection oven in our 28BH more than the propane oven. The convection temp is much more accurate. The propane unit is used when boon-docking. I do have an appointment at Vroom to get the big slide upgraded.
We us the microwave a fair bit but did want air frying capabilities too, so we went with the Ninja FD302. Basically an air fryer and instapot in one device. Works great and is a good combination device.
Great idea
Ninja Foodi ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ll stick to Corelle instead of Melamine. Never had any breakage in over 120,000 towed miles. Old scratched Melamine dishes can trap bacteria and release chemicals.
How many people actually baked a cake in there RV? My RV owners manual for the stove came with 5 trouble shooting tips for baking a cake but nothing on actually fixing the stove lol just made me wonder
Thank you for taking the time to share another great video. I'm buying a truck camper (I usually travel alone) & your videos will be a big help in planning for items needed.
Jared, I’m considering replacing the microwave with a toaster oven. One question, did you anchor the oven in the microwave opening? Just wondering if it bounces around in transit. Thx
Spatter Dome, what a mess that must be to clean, you could wipe down the walls in a few seconds once a week, I'll pass. Nixing the micro for a multi-use oven is a great idea. Mr. Clean does not have such an elaborate water treatment system, wow, over the top maybe, lol. Moving the rack up in oven, I'll give that a try.
I am curious to know how much water is used by RO. I've opted to add filters in line instead of using the bulky Berkeley, space now making ice!
You speak of bacon as you piddle with some whale blubber biproduct looking stuff. Odd.
I would opt for a convection microwave, for "double-duty" as mine acts as a range hood, as well. I also have a convection toaster oven and I would be concerned were it in a cabinet like yours as mine gets very hot and I always pull it out from under the cabinet when I use it (not in an RV).
I like the idea of a griddle however, I would use a BIG electric skillet as it is more versatile.
Protip- cook bacon in the oven. Comes out just as crispy with zero splattering.
Electric electric electric…. Obviously not advisor boondocking
I will be moving to a 5th wheel and have a Vitamix blender. The amperage for the RV lot is 50. Will that be okay to run my blender? I don't want to go to a smaller one.
Love your videos very informative. Can you possibly provide some more information on the RO system you have and also how would you winterize it.
I find a wok is better than a fry pan with a splatter guard.
That little nutri blender also makes slurpees. Add Sodastream syrup to water and ice.
I have a small knife sharpener that suctions to the counter top at home, small enough for an RV.
Life pro tip....use the airfryer for your bacon.... No splatter and faster more even cook
Hi Jared, love your channel! Question about the RO, do you winterize it when it is cold? We would need to do that since we live in a colder climate
Those cups are great but I found out when in the truck I have to cover the tops to keep the sun from warming the liquid.
We have used an induction top and toaster oven for years and love them. When at full hook ups, we never need to use propane.
What kind of pans do you use? Love your videos!
Not trying to be a smarty pants... But you do know you get more Minerals from your food then your water right?
Jared, tell me more about the lexan forks, spoons, etc. Thanks
Hinkle makes an excellent knife sharpener that’s only a little bit bigger.
Love the splatter guard! My Class C doesn’t have an oven and I really missed baking. Omnia stovetop oven to the rescue! I’ve baked everything from brownies to lasagna in it and they all come out great! It works on any type of cooktop except for an induction stove. Compact and easy to store too!
Fantastic recommendation, thank you.
Not cooking in aluminum. Any other metalic choices?
@@toddtetterton7133 I always use the silicon insert that fits perfectly inside the Omnia. The food doesn’t touch any metal at all
Adding mass to the oven through a pizza stone or pizza steel can help with baking. In an old rv that I stayed in for 6 months I added this and I was able to bake all sorts of breads and pastries after figuring out the temperature.
Good tip
I cook my bacon in the microwave. There’s very little mess
I mean, these are lovely items to have in a kitchen, but yours have wheels? Hehe honestly you have a 5 star hotel in there 😅 each star weight a ton ofc
Great ideas but phew! We don’t have to room for all these devices.
We love having and using an instant red probe thermometer.
The only problem I see, is now my wife has too many expensive good ideas.
Small microwave rice cooker does a great job
Great video, thanks for sharing. I really like the idea of removing the microwave and replacing it with a toaster oven/air fryer. Something to think about for sure. You are 💯 correct about making smoothies. As soon as you turn on the Ninja the kids/partners come out of hiding. Lol
Haha, thank you.
knife sharperner? works fantastic? why change?
We have a set of collapsible bowls and funnel from Pampered Chef. Perfect for our small kitchen and taking salads to share with friends. My least favorite is my wife insists on having a gravy boat 🤔.
Haha, That’s great, collapsible bowls is a good idea.
I've really enjoy this channel.
I've learned a lot.
We just bought 2003 25' TT with 4 bunks in rear & Queen tent fold out in front. Trying to set up for hauling gKids. Adding USB & outlets. We just sold our Hart horse trailer with living quarters.
It was loaded so I'm a little spoiled! But excited to haul my teens & very happy to do a little remodeling for them. Thanks for the info!
I thought you were going to get yourself in BIG trouble. You said, "My wife love these. Speaking of something that is hot and cold..." I was like DANGER JAROD!!! Thanks for the info. Always good stuff.
Hello Jared. I am strongly thinking of putting my new 7.5 frigidaire 120v residential fridge from Costco in my Class C. CAN I use an inverter to power up the fridge even when the manual says not to use an inverter? i checked that it draws 55-75 watts when it kicks on. Any advice? Thanks.
