I have asked the mods several times to put this as a sticky at the beginning of General RVing but I guess it is not possible. At one time I almost thought that they would but....
I love that hint about putting lids in an accordion file!

Since we are on a citronella thread, I picked up one of the Coleman citronella candles in a can last year since it packs so small in our small slide in camper. A bit pricy for how long they last but it fits. I then bought one of the cheap bucket citronella candles (probably 3-4 times the wax for a couple of dollars) and now every so often, before a trip, I put a few spoon fulls of cheap wax in the Coleman can before a trip and it melts smooth the first time we use it.

Instead of an accordion file taking up 8" of drawer space, I use lids as protectors between stacked pots and pans.

Whew! That was a LONG read but I did it! 
A couple other posters mentioned this but I will say it again that when we camp we get a brochure for the campground with the map and while the kids are riding their bikes and we walk around we note preferred campsites for next time and I keep all of them in a small binder in the trailer.
Our TT had a thick vinyl accordian door (nearly pitch black in shower when closed and very little elbow room) so I took it off and installed the Extend-A-Shower rod from Camping world and used just a regular shower curtain....night and day (pun intended!)and plenty of elbow room now!

I too use varying sizes of Rubbermaid Rough Totes to keep everything organized (from kids toys to sewer connctions) in my under storage and have all the bins labelled on all sides so I can see at a glance what is in them no matter how I have them shoved under there.
Probably been said a hundred times but I still love my Lynx Levellers and my BAL X-Chocks.

You said your TT had a vinyl accordion door but isn't a Flagstaff 8528BHWS a FW? Or did you have a different TT and just got the FW? Not a big deal, just curious.

The things that come to those that wait will be the crappy junk left by those that got there 1st.
Remember; never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Not an idea, but a question...What can be done to stop tracking in sand and dirt in to your coach...we camp in an area that has a lot of fine white sand, between us and the gurls, our two fur babies, we are constantly sweeping...

wolfcat1 - nothing. You can take your shoes off outside and have a foot rinse basin to step in, then a towel to dry off before going inside, but the dogs won't do it. So. . .

In addition to the foot washing basin outside and the towels just inside the door, I highly recommend a painters brush to dust off excess sand. It also works great in places a duster or broom can't get to.

Yes, the Flagstaff is a 5th Wheel. We just got it and I was referencing the change we made to our old Terry travel trailer shower.
