Just FYI, diluting 70% alcohol makes it completely ineffective as sanitizer. 70% is the perfect percentage to be effective. Adding that much water cuts that in half. If you’re going to use 70%, don’t add water. It’s not that expensive. I use Everclear Vodka because it’s the right percentage and much less “fumey.” It’s pretty expensive, but I just use it for my hands, so it lasts awhile. If you buy the 90% isopropyl, you want to cut it with water because 90% is actually too high to be effective because it will evaporate too quickly. The dilution for bringing 90% to 70%, is approximately 4 parts 90% to 3 parts water.
@@kelliethorne1200 Yes, but actually not all that long, as opposed to bleach, etc. 70% alcohol begins working immediately, and kills within 30 seconds to a minute.
Great tips! We have a composting toilet and keep a bottle of 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 water to spray and wipe down after every use. In five years we’ve had zero odor in the bathroom.
My mom uses tiny command hooks with bungie cords on the outside of the cupboards to keep them closed on travel days. And on non-travel days she uses the hooks for hanging washcloths. Works like a charm.
Great hacks/ideas! I think the light switches with the flip are also sold at Dollar Tree (oe they used to be, because I bought a few years ago). OK! When I had my 34'er, I would first drain the black tank, then the gray, as the water from the gray flowed through the black. Then, using my own water hose, hooked up the the outside faucet, to clean out the tanks. Just turn on the water and let it run through your tanks. It never ceases to amaze me, peoples lack of courtesy and just common sense! 🤯
I got the shower corner bars last year from Amazon. They were a great purchase!! They make moving day much easier when prepping in the bathroom for travel days. 😊
Nice video. I use environmentally safe products from an American company and our hand gel is so nice. For my bathroim cabinets I bought little toothbrush tolders that have nice grip bottom on them. I lucked out at Homegoods. YOGA MATS are AMAZING for your cabinet and fridge. I use glass dishes and cups and NOTHING moves in my cabinets. IKEA- If you have never been to Ikea, well let me tell you, their containers are in ALL my small narrow cabinets. And they are cheap enough but tough. Thanks for your hacks! Safe travels!❤❤
@MakingMyAbodeOTR I can take pictures of my storage solutions if you are interested. We own a Keystone toyhauler and someone on our FB group asked for suggestions for storage because they were going for an Ikea haul. I had another person use my ide for the Jonaxel drawer storage in the closet and they put it on Pinterest. Is has had LOTS of following.
A really good way to remove scuff marks is to use a plain and simple eraser. Use a white one though (not coloured) :) also if your shoes ever create scuff marks on your tile floors or wooden floors. Use your shoes to rub it off. A tennis ball also works :)
We always wipe our shower & doors down, each & every time, very clean!! All of our shower & bathroom things are in their own baskets, easy off counter & onto shower mat, on dry shower floor!! No moving around!! Also we have stick on lights from Lowes, 3 replaceable AAA batteries, they are very bright, use them everywhere!!
my fantastic fan failed in three years. but also for your shower curtain. buy a curved curtain rod. helps a bit for shoulder room. i have never had a problem using enzymes. but yes dump often and wash it out every time. sewe hose storage just get a plastic fence post, 9 feet long, by 5 in sq. couplebrackets and far cheaper then the made for rv items that have a huge mark up.
Thank you so much for showing us the shower magnets. I got them and they work fantastic at keeping the shower still while I have a fan running. Yesterday I ran 2 fans and the magnets worked great to hold the shower curtain still while I was in the shower. Thank you for that and all the tips.
I’m SO glad you mentioned black and grey hoses and dumping etiquette and that you’ve seen people do the unthinkable 😳 because I’m not sure I would’ve guessed that people could be that … ?! Anyway , that was appalling but helpful ! But , yikes ! Idk , maybe it WOULD have occurred to me (I’m brand new at this) the first time I have to dump my system (?) as I’m a germaphobe and wear at least 2 pair of gloves . But , holy cow ! I am still reeling with what you described you and your husband witnessing !!! Ok , I think I’m going to be ok . Lol.
😬🫣 Me too! 🤢🤮 When we first started 3 years ago and I heard someone say they've seen people do this...I DID NOT believe it. I thought there's no way someone would think to even do that. Then I witnessed it with my own eyes, a solo woman van lifer...and no gloves to top it off 🤣😵 Way more people out there not using gloves! We always spray the picnic tables down with Lysol too...
Good ideas! I also saw on another site to use the stick on felt pads in the trash can, and put some drops of essential oils on it. Keeps the smell down!
Nice video! I use elastic (sewing stuff) with command hooks to hold things snuggly. Fits any size. Just clean surface with alcohol first to ensure the stickies stick! ❤
Excellent video ! I bought 25 little spray bottles from Amazon and fill them with 70% isopropyl alcohol - I have them every where - I use it as hand sanitizer, to clean glasses, iPhone, iPad, computer and tv screens - I think I might be addicted! I bought shelf/drawer liner from ikea, ▶️ I have a stacking washer dryer and an upright freezer right beside it. The top of the freezer is a handy spot to storage laundry soap etc. the not handy part is the vibration of the washer and dryer would cause container to ‘walk backwards’ until they fell behind the freezer - using the liner from ikea stops them from moving at all - amazing stuff
@@MakingMyAbodeOTR I recall reading that Apple suggested using isopropyl alcohol to clean screens and thinking ‘who’s going to do that?’ 😆🤣 I like having a bunch of bottles that s o I can refill all at once and use up the 750 ml bottle
Those lights you are using in your laundry room and cabinets. They can be purchased at Dollar Tree. I use them in different places in my RV. Much cheaper than Habor Freight!
There is some space behind the washer/dryer where things could fall. Also the back of the washer/dryer faces the front cap, so when you hit the brakes, things slide back. The silicone mat is working great! I don't have to do anything extra on travel day 😊
Great video, thx for sharing. Have you tried"magic sponges", (Mr Clean but dollar tree has some, you can get a huge box from temu for a couple of bucks, they're actually melamine) on your scuffed walls? I haven't found anything yet they didn't tackle better than anything else, and they're gentler than most.
My Big Lots has 4 packs of the closet lights. I bought a set and they also have a magnet on the back, so I have one attached to the side of the fridge to light up the counter, or I can grab it if I need it somewhere else
I’ve tried many of the things that have the sticky on them and I have used alcohol. I have cleaned thoroughly and they do not stick in My Rv. How are you finding this product you’re sharing works and how long will it stay up before it falls?
Have you tried ALIEN TAPE? I've never ever had a problem with it, and I've yet to come across anyone having issues with it. I know some people have trouble with sticky things in their rv's and I'm not sure why. I've never had a problem with anything sticking 😏🤷🏼♀️
I got a shower caddy off of temu.. And it has been amazing!! 🥳 I always had the same problems with Nothing staying on the wall.. I literally pump my shampoo and conditioner That set inside the caddy and it has not moved an inch.. Plus it's like 8 inches by 3, 3 and a half inches wide.. And I think it was only $5 None of my favorite purchases from that site
Hi, I watched your budget binder set up video. Are your free budget sheets not available anymore? The link send me to search / create products page. Do you have an update on how you budget vs 3 yrs ago- time of video? I saw your binder, and thought to ask if you upgraded to a fire and wet proof binder now?
@jdurham2666 Hi there! Let me check on that link...I may have forgotten to update it from my blog name change. As far as an update to how I use my budget binder...everything is still set up and used the same. The only difference is I had to get a new binder because tge other one fell apart 🤣. It's nothing special not fire or water proof. 😊
@jdurham2666 Here is the new link! makingmyabodeontheroad.com/3-easy-steps-to-creating-a-budget/ Sorry about that! Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention 💗 FYI...the link to the printable worksheet is in the 2nd paragraph highlighted words "budget worksheet". Please let me know if you have any other issues 😊 🙏
When we are at a dumping station we typically will not have access to "flush" black tank after emptying it. Is there a reccomendation you have to "flush" thr black tank after emptying it?
Yes! You can buy an attachment that will enable you to flush your tanks on Amazon for about $50. If we didn't have the flush system built in we would use this one: amzn.to/4cvfpkL Camco is a great brand.
Sure! This is the one we purchased from Lowes: www.lowes.com/pd/Hisense-17-2-cu-ft-Counter-depth-Bottom-Freezer-Refrigerator-Black-Metallic-Steel-ENERGY-STAR/5001252387
Nice job! First video and I'm hooked and now a subscriber. TY for your content. In your#1 hint - what is the purpose of the crochet bags? Are they personal soap holders? And on #8 (I think) I've gotta say "Whoa girl, don't cut yourself short on the exhaust fan PVC extender "thingy"! We heard the motor and wonder what you used to power and rotate the extension pipe?
Awe thanks! 😊Yes, the crochet bags are soap bags. As for the pvc thingy, I just turned it with my hands 🤣 I think you heard the winding of the motor in the fan...🤔
@maryrautenberg2506 We use them after every dump! I could not be happier!! I recommend purchasing them at Walmart, they're under $3 on Amazon one box is going for $9!!!😳
Hi, l have a question about your first hack. Would those bars hold much weight like soap shampoo if you put one sideways so you can put stuff on them and then put one like you have to stop stuff falling?
@michelegrice4938 Are you thinking of using one to create a shelf to hold things and then another in front to keep stuff from falling? They are pretty secure but I wouldn't recommend that just because that is not what their designed for. If you don't have an existing shelf you might consider a shower caddy or a basket that has really strong suction cups. I've seen some on Amazon that people seem to really like.
@MakingMyAbodeOTR yes l was thinking of that. Suction cup things won't stick on my shower walls for some reason. It's a weird plastic type material. I did come up with a different solution though, lm putting extension rods in and making a shelf , just to hold sample size bottles and soap. Thanks for your reply.
Hi, I need a refrigerator. Can you tell me the brand and model of yours? How do you like it? How long have you had it? Any information would be great thank you j
I can't say for sure because my shower walls are smooth. But I noticed the reviews on Amazon with pictures are showing sime textured walls. You could check out the reviews there might be some better info there. In my opinion, based on my own personal use and the adhesive that's used...I think it would work just fine on texture. The adhesive is very much like ALIEN TAPE which works very well.
Can you tell me what kind of a fridge that is? We’ve been in our RV for over a year and my only HATE is that electric/propane fridge!!! Like you, I’ve thrown so much food away, especially produce! There’s absolutely no way to organize it because of those dumb wire “holders”, that I have not been able to “move” OR “REMOVE”! I showed my husband this video and he immediately said, “Find out what that fridge is”! He hates that fridge too! Lol 😂
Nothing is sticking to my textured walls in the Winnebago travato …..help! Plus I’m in Hot AZ. Does anything stick? I’ve tried gorilla tape… falls off in a couple of hours.
Lots of good tips. I've seen the Blackstone "Wind Guard" before, but I forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder. Next to my Splindide I have a shoe hanger (it's in a closet) so everything I need for washing is in the shoe hanger pockets. You could put a rod over the washer and hang some storage on that, leaving some room to hang damp clothes. I put a shower curtain rod over the top of the shower and hang damp items from that. I use Earth Breeze soap (I told you before I put in half a sheet for a load directly on the dirty clothes) and everything comes out clean. Earth Breeze is also much easier to store. What is all that stuff in the baskets on the washer for? Am I missing something?
Thank you! You have some great ideas and I appreciate you sharing ☺️ I am definitely going to put a shower curtain rod in the shower for hanging wet stuff, I forgot all about your suggestion before😀 As far as the baskets on my washer and dryer...in the large white one I keep my laundry soap, dirty cleaning rags, and my vacume attachments. In the smaller green basket I keep a pump bottle that has laundry soap, a bottle of bleach, a bottle of vinegar that I use in place of fabric softener for some items, a toothbrush for stain removal as well as a laundry soap bar for stains, oh and the battery and charger for my cordless vacuum sits in there to charge. I have considered using the soap sheets, I am peticular about my laundry and my machine...🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ so not sure if I'd like it. I do have concerns about it gunking up the drum 😬I wish I could get a sample to try out but it seems companies don't do that too much anymore.
Hi, my Dometic is on its way out the door. I'm looking for a new fridge. Is your rig a MHC 376fl? If so, can you share the model number of your fridge.
@raisedtoramble Hi 😁 Yes, that is the exact model of our rig! The link to the fridge we bought is linked below ⬇️ We purchased it at Lowes: creatoriq.cc/4eddPpf I also made a video on how I organized it, and a few things we did to get it installed, so I Link that too. We've had it for a few months now, still love it, should have done it a LONG time ago! ua-cam.com/video/aO0cV2QsEKs/v-deo.htmlsi=mQBpbVDqQW9cHiH2
@MakingMyAbodeOTR Thank you so much for the link and the reply. I went to Lowes yesterday to look at it in person. It actually on sale for one more day😊. I have one more question if you don't mind. Did you have to remove the refrigerator doors to get it in the rv?
@@raisedtorambleYou're welcome 😊 Yes we did. I would HIGHLY recommend having it delivered! They brought it in and installed it. The only thing we did was remove the old one and they even hauled the old one off for us!
@@raisedtoramble Not a bother at all! I honestly do not mind answering questions 😌 We did not have to remove the the door frame or anything around the door frame. There was a close cal ( almost bent a small part of the black metal around the door frame)l but I think it was because the delivery guys were moving a little fast 😬
@lindabourketempleton4040 Right?! We love it! When my oldest and her boyfriend come to visit they always say omg your shower is so SMALL 😂, Always just say ...it gets the job done!
FYI, feedback to consider for future videos. I almost stopped watching during the shower curtain bit when you spliced in clips of gratuitous physical violence. Don't misunderstand, I have nothing against violence in context in movies. It was just so unexpected and jarring, it was an unpleasant intrusion into a pleasant day. After the second clip, I was still curious so I decided "three strikes and you're out!" Clips like the Calgon one can be funny, but please don't use violent or disgusting ones with no warning. You're driving away viewers who would otherwise love your videos!
@CritterKeeper01 Thanks for the tip. 👌 The point of the absolutely hilarious (and insanely VIOLENT 🙄) clip, from the movie 50 First Dates is that it portrays the feelings of the shower curtain sticking to you. Makes you want to beat it up! 😆 When I make my videos I always want them to be helpful but also entertaining. I try to make them something I would enjoy watching while also keeping my audience in mind. I can't please everyone, and if I tried it would just be an epic fail. I fully accept that some folks won't like what I do, like me, or my lifestyle. If I changed the way I make my videos because of a few folks who are extremely sensitive and /or don't understand comedy, they'd be a bit boring 😴 and I'd be doing my audience and myself a disservice. I can't help but wonder if the few who have made their feelings known here, have the same feelings about the violence inflicted on the unborn in this country every day. 🤔
Yeah, I don’t see a problem with your fan lid at all actually I didn’t see your problem before you made the PVC tool lol I was already thinking let’s see if you have to make it like something that you the mini blinds with or something like that lol and then you did better ha ha That seems like a stupid high amount of money to fix such a small thing that requires so much plus to make the little fancy buttons work sure let it just wear out and then get a good old fashion crank one to replace it and stick it to the energy Empire that makes a fortune off. Everybody’s need to have everything automated Course, you know what happens for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction or non-reaction so translation everything that we let computers and automatic machines do for us in slaves us just a little bit more to be permanently inept on healthy because we don’t do any exercise, even if it’s just something so medial as the grasping and twistingaction that our hands are happy to do for us. Take a visit to a skilled nursing facility and see all of the sadness and emptiness there is when you cannot even grasp your own zebra and pull it up or get up out of your chair when your pants are wet.
I know that this is not related to this video, but I do really how that you will answer me. My husband and I are considering selling our home and buying a 5th wheel. We are trying to figure out how much it cost on average to stay in a park per month. Can you give me an estimate on what you have paid? I would be happy to share with you my email. Thank you so much.
@icpinkqueen I know this is probably not the answer you want...but, it depends. 😬 It depends on what part of the country you're in, if you're going to be stationary or traveling, and what type of campground you want to stay in. We have paid anywhere from $250 a month (staying 3 weeks at Thousand trails with our annual camping pass which is so cheap, $1,250 a year flat rate no commitment, and 1 week at a basic campground which was $250) to $2400 a month. Yikes I know. With our situation , we move every week and my husband's job sends us all over. we don't have much of a say where we go so that's why such a huge price fluctuation. If you're in a high sought after area like Charelston SC you'll pay more. I hope this helps! If you need more details, you can email me. I'd be happy to help. 😊 makingmyabode@gmail.com
Thank you so much watching! ❤🙏

From RV Tech-Calgon and Pine Sol for black tank.
at the same time? How much of each?
Rv Tech cleaned out our tanks and gave us the same recipe of calgon and pinesol. No issues whatsoever.

..how much? And when do you use it?
I just looked up Pine Sol and Calgon for black tank, the recipe popped up.

Have you tried"magic sponges", (Mr Clean but dollar tree has some, you can get a huge box from temu for a couple of bucks, they're actually melamine) on your scuffed walls? I haven't found anything yet they didn't tackle better than anything else, and they're gentler than most.
I did try them on those scuffs and couldn't believe they didn't work. They've always worked for me but not this time. Weird huh?
My Big Lots has 4 packs of the closet lights. I bought a set and they also have a magnet on the back, so I have one attached to the side of the fridge to light up the counter, or I can grab it if I need it somewhere else
They're so bright I love them!
Great video
@@usabolero7190 Thank you!
Thank you for your video!
My pleasure! 😁
Great tips. I subscribed and I’m going to Harbor Freight. They should sponsor you!
@@mmamallama1827 🤣 Thanks!
Calgon… we have a recirculating toilet… do you think that would work with that? Bath beads or bath powder? It looks like you’re using powder.
Thanks for the tips!
Can you please tell me the refrigerator you have. I’m interested. Thank you
Absolutely! It's the hisense from Lowes
I’ve tried many of the things that have the sticky on them and I have used alcohol. I have cleaned thoroughly and they do not stick in My Rv. How are you finding this product you’re sharing works and how long will it stay up before it falls?
Have you tried ALIEN TAPE? I've never ever had a problem with it, and I've yet to come across anyone having issues with it. I know some people have trouble with sticky things in their rv's and I'm not sure why. I've never had a problem with anything sticking 😏🤷🏼♀️
I have alien Intake and I will try that. I think it’s the heat whenever it’s a hot area from the wall from outside because they’re such thin walls.
The heat is an issue. It melts most adhesive, including Alien tape.
I got a shower caddy off of temu.. And it has been amazing!! 🥳 I always had the same problems with Nothing staying on the wall.. I literally pump my shampoo and conditioner That set inside the caddy and it has not moved an inch.. Plus it's like 8 inches by 3, 3 and a half inches wide.. And I think it was only $5 None of my favorite purchases from that site
@@loribethkerns5785 do you happen to have a link and if you do could I please have that link
You can usually find those flip switch lights at Dollar Tree.
Question, on using the Calgon, do you put it in after flushing the tank or before you start to use the tank?
We put it in AFTER flushing dumping and flushing the tank 😊
Love these vids
Give me all ur tips!
I actually got a couple new ones here, go u!
🥰🙏 So glad you enjoyed it!😁
We have a metal medicine cabinet. I could get the magnetic binder clip for our toothpaste tube at home.
Hi, I watched your budget binder set up video. Are your free budget sheets not available anymore? The link send me to search / create products page. Do you have an update on how you budget vs 3 yrs ago- time of video? I saw your binder, and thought to ask if you upgraded to a fire and wet proof binder now?
@jdurham2666 Hi there! Let me check on that link...I may have forgotten to update it from my blog name change. As far as an update to how I use my budget binder...everything is still set up and used the same. The only difference is I had to get a new binder because tge other one fell apart 🤣. It's nothing special not fire or water proof. 😊
@jdurham2666 Here is the new link!

Sorry about that! Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention 💗 FYI...the link to the printable worksheet is in the 2nd paragraph highlighted words "budget worksheet". Please let me know if you have any other issues 😊 🙏
When we are at a dumping station we typically will not have access to "flush" black tank after emptying it. Is there a reccomendation you have to "flush" thr black tank after emptying it?
Yes! You can buy an attachment that will enable you to flush your tanks on Amazon for about $50. If we didn't have the flush system built in we would use this one:

Camco is a great brand.
Fill the bowl 3 times and flush thru. Dry all orange peels, run thru blender, instant organic tank deodorant
@@meman6964 thank you!
Loving these hacks! Is there a link for your new refrigerator?
Sure! This is the one we purchased from Lowes:
www.lowes.com/pd/Hisense-17-2-cu-ft-Counter-depth-Bottom-Freezer-Refrigerator-Black-Metallic-Steel-ENERGY-STAR/5001252387
You need a tension rod over your washing machine.
It would help even more if you were to provide the NAMES of the products you recommend
Nice job! First video and I'm hooked and now a subscriber. TY for your content. In your#1 hint - what is the purpose of the crochet bags? Are they personal soap holders?
And on #8 (I think) I've gotta say "Whoa girl, don't cut yourself short on the exhaust fan PVC extender "thingy"! We heard the motor and wonder what you used to power and rotate the extension pipe?
Awe thanks! 😊Yes, the crochet bags are soap bags. As for the pvc thingy, I just turned it with my hands 🤣 I think you heard the winding of the motor in the fan...🤔
how often do you use the Calgon bath beads?
@maryrautenberg2506 We use them after every dump! I could not be happier!! I recommend purchasing them at Walmart, they're under $3 on Amazon one box is going for $9!!!😳
Greaty
Hi, l have a question about your first hack. Would those bars hold much weight like soap shampoo if you put one sideways so you can put stuff on them and then put one like you have to stop stuff falling?
@michelegrice4938 Are you thinking of using one to create a shelf to hold things and then another in front to keep stuff from falling? They are pretty secure but I wouldn't recommend that just because that is not what their designed for. If you don't have an existing shelf you might consider a shower caddy or a basket that has really strong suction cups. I've seen some on Amazon that people seem to really like.
@MakingMyAbodeOTR yes l was thinking of that. Suction cup things won't stick on my shower walls for some reason. It's a weird plastic type material. I did come up with a different solution though, lm putting extension rods in and making a shelf , just to hold sample size bottles and soap. Thanks for your reply.
@@michelegrice4938 You're welcome 😊
Hi, I need a refrigerator. Can you tell me the brand and model of yours? How do you like it? How long have you had it? Any information would be great thank you j
We have only had it about three weeks but so far so good! The brand is Hisense and we got it from Lowes 😁
Do the shower shampoo holder thingies stick on textured surfaces?
I can't say for sure because my shower walls are smooth. But I noticed the reviews on Amazon with pictures are showing sime textured walls. You could check out the reviews there might be some better info there. In my opinion, based on my own personal use and the adhesive that's used...I think it would work just fine on texture. The adhesive is very much like ALIEN TAPE which works very well.
Can you tell me what kind of a fridge that is? We’ve been in our RV for over a year and my only HATE is that electric/propane fridge!!! Like you, I’ve thrown so much food away, especially produce! There’s absolutely no way to organize it because of those dumb wire “holders”, that I have not been able to “move” OR “REMOVE”! I showed my husband this video and he immediately said, “Find out what that fridge is”! He hates that fridge too! Lol 😂
Right?!! @melodychristian974 it is from Lowes the brand is HISENSE...Loving it so far!
Thank you so much 😊 Btw…NEW SUBSCRIBER, just came across your channel yesterday! 🥰
I cannot be the only one that is totally grossed out by putting a tooth brush with a hair trimmer.....
@@nicolefilteau2346 🤣
Nothing is sticking to my textured walls in the Winnebago travato …..help! Plus I’m in Hot AZ. Does anything stick? I’ve tried gorilla tape… falls off in a couple of hours.
😫😭 Have you tried ALIEN tape?
@@MakingMyAbodeOTR no, but I will. I hadn’t heard of it previously. Thank you!
@karenphilpott9668 I hope it works! If it does will you come back and let us know? It's a big issue for some people 🙏🩷
@@MakingMyAbodeOTR I’ll be happy, too
Lots of good tips. I've seen the Blackstone "Wind Guard" before, but I forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder. Next to my Splindide I have a shoe hanger (it's in a closet) so everything I need for washing is in the shoe hanger pockets. You could put a rod over the washer and hang some storage on that, leaving some room to hang damp clothes. I put a shower curtain rod over the top of the shower and hang damp items from that. I use Earth Breeze soap (I told you before I put in half a sheet for a load directly on the dirty clothes) and everything comes out clean. Earth Breeze is also much easier to store. What is all that stuff in the baskets on the washer for? Am I missing something?
Thank you! You have some great ideas and I appreciate you sharing ☺️ I am definitely going to put a shower curtain rod in the shower for hanging wet stuff, I forgot all about your suggestion before😀 As far as the baskets on my washer and dryer...in the large white one I keep my laundry soap, dirty cleaning rags, and my vacume attachments. In the smaller green basket I keep a pump bottle that has laundry soap, a bottle of bleach, a bottle of vinegar that I use in place of fabric softener for some items, a toothbrush for stain removal as well as a laundry soap bar for stains, oh and the battery and charger for my cordless vacuum sits in there to charge. I have considered using the soap sheets, I am peticular about my laundry and my machine...🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ so not sure if I'd like it. I do have concerns about it gunking up the drum 😬I wish I could get a sample to try out but it seems companies don't do that too much anymore.
Hi, my Dometic is on its way out the door. I'm looking for a new fridge. Is your rig a MHC 376fl? If so, can you share the model number of your fridge.
@raisedtoramble Hi 😁
Yes, that is the exact model of our rig! The link to the fridge we bought is linked below ⬇️
We purchased it at Lowes:
creatoriq.cc/4eddPpf
I also made a video on how I organized it, and a few things we did to get it installed, so I Link that too. We've had it for a few months now, still love it, should have done it a LONG time ago!
ua-cam.com/video/aO0cV2QsEKs/v-deo.htmlsi=mQBpbVDqQW9cHiH2
@MakingMyAbodeOTR Thank you so much for the link and the reply. I went to Lowes yesterday to look at it in person. It actually on sale for one more day😊. I have one more question if you don't mind. Did you have to remove the refrigerator doors to get it in the rv?
@@raisedtorambleYou're welcome 😊 Yes we did. I would HIGHLY recommend having it delivered! They brought it in and installed it. The only thing we did was remove the old one and they even hauled the old one off for us!
@MakingMyAbodeOTR Sorry to bother, did you have to remove the door frame to get this in the rig?
@@raisedtoramble Not a bother at all! I honestly do not mind answering questions 😌 We did not have to remove the the door frame or anything around the door frame. There was a close cal ( almost bent a small part of the black metal around the door frame)l but I think it was because the delivery guys were moving a little fast 😬
Make a checklist so youdont have to remember
Omg your shower is so big, I have my toilet and sink in the same area and a solid plastic door
@lindabourketempleton4040 Right?! We love it! When my oldest and her boyfriend come to visit they always say omg your shower is so SMALL 😂, Always just say ...it gets the job done!
FYI, feedback to consider for future videos. I almost stopped watching during the shower curtain bit when you spliced in clips of gratuitous physical violence. Don't misunderstand, I have nothing against violence in context in movies. It was just so unexpected and jarring, it was an unpleasant intrusion into a pleasant day. After the second clip, I was still curious so I decided "three strikes and you're out!"
Clips like the Calgon one can be funny, but please don't use violent or disgusting ones with no warning. You're driving away viewers who would otherwise love your videos!
@CritterKeeper01 Thanks for the tip. 👌 The point of the absolutely hilarious (and insanely VIOLENT 🙄) clip, from the movie 50 First Dates is that it portrays the feelings of the shower curtain sticking to you. Makes you want to beat it up! 😆 When I make my videos I always want them to be helpful but also entertaining. I try to make them something I would enjoy watching while also keeping my audience in mind. I can't please everyone, and if I tried it would just be an epic fail. I fully accept that some folks won't like what I do, like me, or my lifestyle. If I changed the way I make my videos because of a few folks who are extremely sensitive and /or don't understand comedy, they'd be a bit boring 😴 and I'd be doing my audience and myself a disservice. I can't help but wonder if the few who have made their feelings known here, have the same feelings about the violence inflicted on the unborn in this country every day. 🤔
Don’t forget to add your end video links as there’s nothing there 🏧.
Weird, I just double checked and they were there 🤷🏼♀️
@@MakingMyAbodeOTR that’s weird!
You’re right! My goodness, YT, get your act together!
Yeah, I don’t see a problem with your fan lid at all actually I didn’t see your problem before you made the PVC tool lol I was already thinking let’s see if you have to make it like something that you the mini blinds with or something like that lol and then you did better ha ha That seems like a stupid high amount of money to fix such a small thing that requires so much plus to make the little fancy buttons work sure let it just wear out and then get a good old fashion crank one to replace it and stick it to the energy Empire that makes a fortune off. Everybody’s need to have everything automated Course, you know what happens for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction or non-reaction so translation everything that we let computers and automatic machines do for us in slaves us just a little bit more to be permanently inept on healthy because we don’t do any exercise, even if it’s just something so medial as the grasping and twistingaction that our hands are happy to do for us. Take a visit to a skilled nursing facility and see all of the sadness and emptiness there is when you cannot even grasp your own zebra and pull it up or get up out of your chair when your pants are wet.
I know that this is not related to this video, but I do really how that you will answer me. My husband and I are considering selling our home and buying a 5th wheel. We are trying to figure out how much it cost on average to stay in a park per month. Can you give me an estimate on what you have paid? I would be happy to share with you my email. Thank you so much.
@icpinkqueen I know this is probably not the answer you want...but, it depends. 😬 It depends on what part of the country you're in, if you're going to be stationary or traveling, and what type of campground you want to stay in. We have paid anywhere from $250 a month (staying 3 weeks at Thousand trails with our annual camping pass which is so cheap, $1,250 a year flat rate no commitment, and 1 week at a basic campground which was $250) to $2400 a month. Yikes I know. With our situation , we move every week and my husband's job sends us all over. we don't have much of a say where we go so that's why such a huge price fluctuation. If you're in a high sought after area like Charelston SC you'll pay more. I hope this helps! If you need more details, you can email me. I'd be happy to help. 😊
