- We have NOT been bored during our time sheltering-in-place! We've been hard at work knocking RV organization and modifications off the mile-long list! And, of course, we've been filming everything for you guys! 😀 ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Click Show More ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

One project that has been on the list (a.k.a. procrastinated) for a LONG time is to build some shelves in the bedroom and bathroom. We have several areas where the shelving from the factory is insufficient or nonexistent. Building these shelves has greatly improved the usability of those areas!
In the RV kitchen and pantry, Tara has organized and reorganized over the years. But, this last revision really hit a sweet spot! We have the same amount of food in the pantry, but WAY more room! Our drawers got an organization upgrade also!
- Bonus Projects! -
Back when we were collaborating with Two Beards and a Babe on our AC Maintenance Video, Todd brought up his idea of putting door stoppers in the AC vents to increase airflow out of those vents. We tried it out (and tested it with an anemometer), and it worked great! Every little bit helps!
We also share a project we did in our very first week of RV Living, which is to carpet the inside stairs to the bedroom and master bathroom. This was needed ASAP for poor little Daisy, who didn't care for the slippery plastic-like feel of the finish on the wood steps. A $17 carpet, some scissors, and a staple gun fixed that problem!

Would you please tell me what kind of dog you have. She looks like my Yorkey terrier but my Yorky terrier is about 18 pounds. Yours is so small. Darling daisy has the floppy ears like my Yorky where most Yorkey Terriers like the little tiny toys have the ears that stand up so I’m just curious thank you. Also my dog is 14 years old . One day when I will regretfully have to replace her.... your dog seems to have the same exact temperament and personality as my Little Lexie Lou Lou.
Can't wait to add the cabinet shelves, I was afraid to drill into wall 😅
Tara:”I don’t want to get rid of it, because we may need it.” That is what got me into,the state I’m in now!!! Too much junk!!! 😂🤣
12:14 - those metallic organizers. I used one of those in our odd cabinet next to the kitchen. Screwed them in up on what you would consider the second shelf level. They fit spice n seasonings perfectly. Webber or Mccormick brand. And I put it just high enuff to store a row of seasonings under it.
Also used in out medicine cabinet to get a shorty second level 'basket'. Small stuff like nail clippers, contact lens case, tweezers, etc. fit easy to get and out of the way.
You could use baskets or fabric curtains to hide your clothes on those great shelves. Good bathroom organization. Great pantry ideas. Amazon has great pullouts for under the sink easy to install. I am 75 and did it myself. I even bought 1 for trash can and 1 for glass sauce pan lids. You have great ideas.
You guys are the Chip and Joanna Gaines of RVing! Skye and Wolf, anticipating our GD 397TH-R in about 4 months.
Nifty ideas and creative install ideas. You gave me a great idea for our travel trailer with the Gorilla Glue attachment. I love your pantry . . . And I'm a guy! That's a neat little man-condiment cave.
Fabulous!! I love Daisy! Such a doll baby. Live you guys too
I adore the puppy. Also, baskets would look good for the bedroom shelves.
I really don’t understand why anyone would give you guys a thumbs down. Love your channel.
There are a lot of people out there who dislike everything in general.. No hope for them.. LOL Thanks for watching! 😊
quick question, I just got the GMC 3500 dually.
Some say airbag it and some dont. I tow a Fuzion 427, whats your thoughts?
its a 2020
If you're within weight specs and level when hitched, don't worry about it... We added our airbags and sulastic shackles to help with the ride.. Helped a little....
Daisy is super cute! What kind of dog is she? Thank you for the ductwork solution! I forward your video to my husband. LOVE how you’re sharing what others have done and has worked for you. Safe travels!
Daisy is a "Morkie", which is a Maltese/Yorkie mix. 🐶 Thanks for watching! 😊
Don’t sell yourself short, you did an amazing job organizing the kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
The baskets you're using, two words....Dollar Tree. It's amazing at the different sizes available. I like seeing the actual size before I buy it. I look like an idiot with my tape measure in Dollar Tree but they fit perfect.
We are full timers as well. About your bedroom shelving by the bed, you could use a tension rod with a nice curtain made of any fabric you love or really pretty baskets, sometimes they are hard to find ones that fit certain spaces, but you could get lucky. Big lots is a great place to shop for different sizes of baskets. I actually found some white wire baskets, from big lots, for my fridge and freezer that fit like a glove and look as if they came with the rv. Love your ideas and video, I'll be getting some magnets for my bedroom door thanks to you guys.
For your open shelf in the bedroom, you can get a spring tension rod and a pretty piece of material, lacy sheer or towel and make a loop for the rod.
Loved your inside storage ideas, shared with my wife as she is working at that with our class A. Love your videos enjoy all of them. You are REALLY neat people. Your ideas have helped me in more than once. Keep up the fine videos. Thanks Larry Miller retired with wife and dog. Love your dog darn cute.
Thanks Larry! 😊
Add nice deep matching baskets for that shelf area in bedroom.
Recess/and glue little round magnets, (both sides), in a piece of finished/stained 3/8 AC finished plywood to cover up those clothes, or find cabinet doors to match, even a black see thru net would be better advertising clothing...lol....
An idea for the cubby in your room you could put a rod with a cute curtain over the top 😉
Hey Chad, if the glue fails in the wardrobe, cut a full board to fit from the shelf just below to the bottom of the next. This way each shelf is fully supported by the shelf below it. Glue is nice, but not always up for the job.
Those magnet hacks are awesome! Very smart! We were excited about great use of baskets, but you guys took it to the next level!
OMG this is 3 years old but still some great info. I like the AC vent hack and the carpet for the stairs. 😊Daisy is just too adorable. 😊
Hey tara I am just watching your organisation video and I have a idea on how you can hide your clothes. You know those curtain cords with the hooks on each end for net curtains you could put one of those up with some material like a curtain and just pull it across the space
I wanna see you two on a video actually relaxing... by a campfire. Lol ... ya know... RV RELAXING 😁
In my experience, wife’s love shelfs
I am putting velcro straps for my baskets, to keep from sliding
I love the fact that anyone can tell how much the two of you love and appreciate each other. Love your videos! Have a good memorial day! and Thank you for your service Chad :-)
Try using industrial velcro. I've used it for big heavy headboards. Takes a lot to remove it.
Super building skills, so MANY comfort upgrades and what satisfaction that brings, let's not forget, "Happy Wife, Happy Life" 💪😍
Great Video !
Awesome little tidbits thanks for sharing. Going to share a safety tip. Take your oil off the counter next to your stove. If you have a fire that oil to feed it quickly. Don’t put it in a cabinet above the stove either. Both are extremely volatile and dangerous spots to put flammable liquids. It may be inconvenient but move them to your side cabinet or pantry.
Rev a shelf for your cleaners and trash can. We love ours.
We cut and put plexiglass in the screen door in the winter to help block wind when coming in and out of the door. I just made it a little snug and it held. It is also great if you have pets to protect the bottom screen.
To see how much Daisy loved her new steps, that's my favorite!!
🤔 For the open shelves in your room you could use some nice cloth baskets and the Konmari folding method. That would look really nice and hide the clothing from sight.
Have an idea for your bedroom cabinet. You can take a spring loaded curtain rod and a curtain. Most like a kitchen size curtain will work. You can even hit the local fabric store and make one yourself. It will be easy to do. .
When you opened the Pantry door I literally said, “WOW!” because that’s exactly what I need for my RV pantry!
Love y’all videos!
I love the ideas you have shared...thank you !
I love the little air nubbin.. great idea! I have a little AC hack on my channel I found when hunting for a way the flys were getting in. And found the air returns of the ac were full of wires!
Yea.. we cover tidying up the returns a bit here: ua-cam.com/video/Gbm8hOyZlrU/v-deo.html
You guys done a great job with that pantry extremely nice job
I getting tired and need a nap just watching this video.
You 2 have some good ideas thanks for all the videos
It never ceases to amaze me at how you manage to make your videos interesting! ALL OF THEM!!!
Hi Chad, I had a friend, much older than you, who passed away about 3 years ago. You look like you could be his Son. What a guy. You even have the same laugh. I love to watch you two, I'm learning a lot and ready to buy. I'm traveling alone so I decided to purchase a 30 foot C class. Although I like a fifth wheel better I think it would be to difficult to handle being alone. You tell that sweet wife of yours how lucky she is. And Tera if you are reading my comment, Tell that big lug how lucky he is. lol Hey, I bought a TP hanger on Amazon that has a shelf for your Smart phone.. And I use it. -keith.
We're both lucky! 😀
Awesome job. Doesn't matter how big or small, new or old your home is there's always a project to do.
Daisy has the cutest ears....love how they are floppy but also perk up with her different expressions!
I love your videos, I like to see Chad's skills (I'm terrible at this, really lazy) and the organization of the beautiful Tara. Please don't stop! Hugs from Brazil!
I love Daisy!
Your dog is so adorable and cute 😍
Thanks for sharing all your organizing ideas. Also want you to know you are a beautiful young lady.
I’d love to see some ideas on your diet and how you manage on the road, cooking and eating out. gluten free here.
I am inspired, I have a lot of open spaces, not necessarily where I want them but hey, its always a work in process in the RV!
Well organised !!
Ur husbands a handyman.
You can put soft canvas baskets on the shelf for your folded clothes
I hate that you guys make everything look so perfect. 😩
Nice ideas, gonna get the magnets right away for a problem bedroom door. Just today I added a metal basket to basement compartment for windex bottle,simple green bottle and ant spray cans etc. mounted on wall holds everything. New wrap it storage straps to hoses, extension cords and hang in basement compartment. Gonna due my a/c roof units cleaning per your video. Comb and cleaner purchased today. Lol now gotta go get those door bumps to add to ducts for a/c. Great video as usual. 👍
I picked up some great ideas from you two, I have a toy hauler also and when I'm on unlevel ground my ramp door will have a small gap so I'm waiting to see how your project works out.One idea I have for your bedroom closet door is:Put two tracks on top and two on the bottom, stain two pieces of lauon (not sure of spelling)put a finger hole in each piece.Install them in the tracks so they slide back and forth behind each other.
Keep the ideas coming
Gary Nebitt,Chattanooga,TN.
Ohmygosh, your Daisy dog is the CUTEST!
Tara can I PLEASE borrow Chad when I get my 5th wheel. He is so creative and a good man handy man .He can do everything WoW
Hey y’all, looks great. Maybe don’t put cabinet doors on that bedroom shelving. Your clothes and stuff will fit fine in some pretty wicker baskets, all matching. And will look great!
I agree. Looked like doors might not open well with the bed so close. Dollar stores have fabric cubes/boxes and you could also do a fabric curtain flap using cup hooks at the top and grommets in the fabric or even a tension rod at the top.
You've given me so many ideas, thank you! And, sweet little Daisy just melts my heart 🥰
Daisy is cute.
Roll-top might work, like for a desk. The one my Uncle had used a sturdy fabric base and glued the slats to it and routed a channel, but you might be able to bend PVC, then cut it in half. (bend first cut second) so the PVC holds it's shape then glue it in with your Gorilla glue.
At the time 20:25, for your cleaning supplies I use empty laundry detergent bottles cutting a opening at the top leaving the handles on them so if one starts to leak it is caught in the bottle and doesn't damage the camper.
First time rv owner . just bought a 5th wheel. I'm a truck driver so I only go "home once a week ".
Lots of stuff to learn . and remember like turn off water before I leave. As a single gal your videos help me learn new stuff thank you .
Such great ideas cute puppy too
Love the ideas and Daisy!
Love the shelving mods!
Great job you guys!!! I love organization!! It gives me life lol!
Thank you Thank you Thank you. Great video filled with ideas that work for all size & style RV’s. Nice job!
Great video! Daisy is too cute. We had a morky that was colored yorkie and not white Maltese. She acted the same as Daisy though. What a character! LOL
First of all, Thank You for your Service!! Our grandfathers (Army, WWI) and fathers (Navy, Korean War) all served and we very much appreciate all who have given of themselves to serve our great country. Thank you!
Now, off to the hardware store for some nubbies.
FANTASTIC ideas!!! Thanks.
Thanks for the Nubby tips ordered!
Great ideas! We are contractors with Fedex Custom Critical and get paid to travel in our custom built truck. We also are Indian riders! We have a 2016 Vintage and 2017 custom Roadmaster
Love your dog,so cute and intelligent. Very good ideas with the organization. We just bought a new RV its small and I’m trying to get it organized. Got good ideas from you. Thanks
There is always so many ways to better utilize space in an rv. They don’t have a lot of imagination when they build em. We have added a whole lotta hooks and shelves and such. Another great video guys. Thanks
Love the shelves, I ordered them for my rv too!
"Memorial Day" God Bless all of our Brothers and Sisters who paid the ultimate price. HHOORRAA! Seabees can do!
Seabee Vet what’s your favorite veteran’s charity?
Hi Chad and Tara, thanks for so many great tips, my wife Jeanne and I love your videos. We recently bought a new 5th wheel and yesterday I added 4 shelves (sooner than later) based on Chad's suggestion to NOT wait!
Great information guys, thank you for all of your informative videos. I installed a 10'x4" PVC pipe cut into 2 and hung it in my basement for all of my fishing poles. I used plastic strapping to secure it to the ceiling.
Brilliant! 👍🏼
@@ChangingLanes I wanted to send pictures, but it would not allow me to post them on here
Since I think I’m going to be sheltering in place until fall. I had some trailer legs.com installed. It wasn’t hard to do but had a learning curve in the end it WORKS! My double axel tires are all off the ground about an inch and I won’t get the dreaded flat area of my tires. It also stops almost all movement in the rig. Yay 😁
Hmmmmm. Those look interesting for working on axle maintenance...
You guys are the best. Chad is always busy...lol
Great job Chad.
If the virus did any thing good...the Honey do list is FINALLY CONQUERED!!!
AND DAISY...OMG, I can't wait to see her in the videos.
❤️❤️❤️You guys
For your bedroom open shelving solution, look into tambour style door.
Interesting idea! Thanks for the tip! 👍🏼
Just saw this yesterday - Tara, your organization skills for your RV are OUTstanding.. I'm going to make sure my wife sees this - it'll help her immensely... Of course, now I'm gonna get a brand new 'honey-do' list... Dang it Chad... LOL
Great organization! For that bottom cabinet in your bedroom, cabinet doors probably won’t work because it’s too close to the bed. You might want to consider a short barn door, you have plenty of room to the left to slide the door open and it would look great.
Thank you so much for the Great idea's on storage and we are going to try the rug mod on our steps as our fur babies don't like our steps either . Stay safe and safe travels. Thank you Chad for your service .
Love your organizing ideas and your channel! 🧲 I am not sure if anyone has suggested this, but you mentioned Chad added magnets to your doors. Have you thought about magnets on your metal baskets? For example, the basket you have behind your stove top, you could add magnets to the bottom of the basket? That way you wouldn't have to stow your baskets every time you travel?
I use think double sides tape for mine
Love these ideas!! Our fridge does that swinging shut as I’m loading food so I can’t wait to see if there’s a location where we could use that great magnetic idea .. thank you!
Thanks again for all the great information!! I see my list getting longer! Can't wait for the Internet Upgrade Video!! Stay safe & Healthy!!
We thought we would get more done since we are stuck here for two months. But Larry is still working full time. Love the bigger top shelf. Excellent idea. We have hooks back there too. We put our laundry in the shower. We love those magnets. We have quite a few. They need to put pegs and holes in cabinets to move around shelves. Larry uses glue that is flexible instead of gorilla glue because of the movement that happens in RVs. You could put a little curtain for now to hide the clothes. We definitely need help in the pantry. We bought some bins with handles from the container store. You did a great job organizing. I think we will always be organizing. I want a pull out shelf too under the sink. Door stop? Very cool. My dogs hate those stairs. Especially Chewie. Very cool. Larry is definitely watching this. His honey do list has just gotten longer 🤣. Great job as always guys. We have a Solitude but a lot of these will work for us. Thanks. Take care. Alice
WOW! Impressed 👏👏👏 and encouraged! 🤗 Thank you for sharing!
Great video, and love you guys!
Do you realize just how many honey do projects you created for all of us! :)
Thanks though because I saw quite a few things that we can use.
I have seen that Sorbus has some clothing boxes/bags that have little see-through windows on one side and pull handles on the end sides. You could put them on your lower shelves in the bedroom and pull them halfway out to see what's inside, yet not see them from the front. I didn't look into them enough to see what sizes they come in but might be a helpful idea for hiding clothes on the open clothing shelves.
PRIORITIES Chad , priorities 😁 good call hoping she would forget 😂 " let's have a beer" 😁
You guys do such a good job at explaining everything..makes a future full timer feel more comfortable knowing that the knowledge is here when we need it. Thank you for doing what you do!
Great organization tips!! Thanks for being willing to open up your camper😃
Very helpful. Exactly what I was looking for.
Pantry looks amazing 🙌
We love Daisy! She is so darn cute.
Great job you guys! Glad y'all are doing well.
