My wife and I are preparing to sell our house and start full time most likely in a 39 ft Toy hauler. BUT, we are both on disability and not sure if we can handle a trailer that big. So, your videos are helping us to prepare to down size even further and pursue the campground host lifestyle like the both of you.
That's so great to hear, Tim! Thank you for telling us! A 39-ft toy hauler would be so nice! We truly enjoy how simple life is living in a smaller space. It is definitely possible if you find you need to downsize even more!
If I have sourdough, I leave the cutting board with the bread in ours. Knock the crumbs off and save water washing it. If we are parked for a couple days I will leave the bread knife with it.
We just purchased our first RV, a 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2670MK and I’m so glad I found your channel! Your videos have been really helpful. I’m excited to start organizing and you’ve given me a lot of useful tips for storage!
Baskets are a great way of keeping cupboards tidy. Just a tip I saw on less junk, more journey: don’t put heavy items in top rear cabinets if an rv. Their rear cabinets above their sofa started breaking from the bouncing when traveling. They too have a grand design. The back of your rv can bounce a lot and those cabinets are not made strong enough to take heavy things like multiple cans and bottles or books etc.

I must admit, I bought the same rug (living area) and the same hobby lobby plants (in the bathroom) for our rv as well! We have the same model 2670 MK Imagine and I found your channel. Thank you so much for the inspiration! It's beautiful the way you two have this set up and organized.
Enjoyed your tips. Have you figured a way to store in the front pass thru? So much stuff to put in when unhitching... all the odds and ends that go in there and really hard to access. Ideas?
We bought the large shallow totes with lids. We were able to stack 2 high, and then put smaller items on top. One had the water hoses, filters, pressure regulator, etc. another had the power cord, the pigtails, the serge protector. We also had one for outside dining….table cloth and clips, cloths line and cloth’s pens, camping light and batter charger. Another for extra shoes, water shoes, shower shoes. Then the large items like chairs, pool noodles, area rug, canopy, Anderson leveling system, drill in its case, tool box. The clear shallow flat totes worked great so you could pull the tote out you need.
Hello! We are leaving the microwave for a few reasons, the first being we're happy with the storage it provides and aren't in need of any additional storage. The second reason is resale. We also don't have a desire to figure out a replacement for that area. :) Thanks for the feedback! -Laurie & Matt
Agree! I just did this in my closet, and it will be great to do in this drawer when I need the extra space in the drawer! Thanks so much for the feedback and for watching, Sol! -Laurie & Matt
Hi, Dwain! So we do one of two things with our plants on travel days depending on the weather/temps. If it is warm enough to leave them in the RV, we load them in plastic dishpans and/or other small storage containers like those plastic shoeboxes and put them in the shower while we're traveling. Since we have so many, they basically take up the whole shower floor so there isn't even room for them to tip over. The big potted snake plant that we have also has a spot in the bathroom, and we just put a chair on front of it to keep it from tipping. If temps are too cold for the plants to stay in the RV for hours, we still load them in the dishpans and storage containers, and we keep them in the backseat of the truck with us. I'll admit that it can be kind of a pain to carry them from RV to truck and back again when we reach our destination. We decided from the beginning of our full-time journey that this is our home, and our plants are one of the most important parts of making our RV home feel cozy so we are willing to do the extra work of keeping them in the truck with us if we need to. Hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching! -Laurie & Matt
We also just bought a Grand Design, and LOVE it! Question: Do you have a link to the hamper you bought from Home Goods? The one which serves very well as a kitchen trash can? I bought what I thought was a slim trashcan, until I got it in the camper and... well, not so slim. Thanks for your videos and advice!
That's awesome, congrats! Which model did you get? I don't have a link, but I did some searching for you. This is the closest thing I could find, but I'm not sure if it is small enough. www.homegoods.com/us/store/jump/product/decor-pillows-storage-organizers-laundry-baskets/22in-Plastic-Knit-Laundry-Basket-With-Lid/7000023596?colorId=NS9861007&pos=1:6&N=3744973919
And here are the measurements for our exact one... It is 17.5" tall, 8" wide at the bottom and 10.5" at the top. It is 17.5" long. Hope that helps. HomeGoods, Marshalls, and T.J. Maxx are all great places to watch for hampers. Thank you for watching and for your kind words! :) -Laurie & Matt
@@whynotwander Thank you sooooo much for the info! We bought the Grand Design Model 2670MK and we LOVE it!! I'll check out that hamper from Home Goods! 😊

We have a 2670MK also. I'm curious about what curtain rods you used for yours. Also, I LOVE the chandelier in the dining area.
Love all your storage ideas.! What size of tv is in your bedroom and does it move to a better viewing angle?
With your dishes on risers, how do you keep them from spilling all over?
We use our microwave as a breadbox
Us too
Great use for it! :) Thank you for watching! -Laurie & Matt

Baskets are so great for organizing and keeping things from shifting during travel. Thanks for the tour!
They sure are! Thanks for watching, Mike and Heather! :) -Matt & Laurie

Thanks for sharing this, Ben! We appreciate you watching! -Laurie & Matt
So how do you feel about the slide out on the camp side of the rig?
Lordy it looks so together! I need your brain to help me organize/DECORATING my tiny living home!😂😮😊
Awww, thank you so much!! ☺

We are new to the RV world..you gave some great ideas. Thank you 😊
WELCOME to the RV family! Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words! -Laurie & Matt
I love how organized your kitchen is! I love to watch your videos.
Thank you SO much, Cherish!!! Means a lot!!
Why would you not just take out your microwave completely? You would have more room over all once its out if that space.

Best to fold the kitchen towels smaller and stand them up instead of laying down. Like a filing system
