Winter clothes fit in a plastic tub and misc. RV parts it in another tub. My daughters keep the small savable items and that all there is. Living in an RV is a wonderful thing.


Hmmmmmmmm, what are these "winter clothes" devices you refer to?
LOL!!! The coolest thing about full-timing to me is my wardrobe,tanktop,flowered shorts,okabashi flip-flop sandals bolle shades,baseball cap and a foam beer coolie so my ice cold beer doesn't get prematurly warm!!!! We just went through all of the "we sold the house and what'll we do about my aunt's punch bowl she left me??,,SELL OR DUMP IT ALL say's I and let the "no more paying to heat,cool,maintain,having to pay property taxes" to keep all that stuff you probobly haven't put your hands on in ten years and start a uncluttered,easier lifestyle. I gotta' go get another cold beer,good luck with full-timing,your gonna' love it!

"After 14 years 2 people can really accumulate alot of junk."

We've been in our place for 36 years. The guys at the recycling yard and I are on a first name basis. 12 more days until we hit the road.


Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

There is a song by Jimmy Buffett that says he is "going where the weather suits his clothes" Let it go and have fun.

Well S&S (sticks and stucco) Sold know it's time to sell off and give away EVERYTHING. After 14 years 2 people can really accumulate alot of junk. DW sure had to get rid of alot of cloths and shoes, not me though. anyway goin full time very soon.

I have news for you. RVs are clutter magnets. You'll be de-cluttering that 5th wheel once a year...most likely every Spring, like the rest of us. Enjoy!

Heres what ya' do:

Trust me. The voice of experience says. Get rid of everything except 4 pair of socks and 4 pair of underware and head out on you quest.

If you take the above advice,make sure that you stay in warm climates,where just socks and underware are the prefered apparell.
( if you do find that place,let us know cause many of us would like to go there!)
Oh,and you may need a washer/dryer in the rig,4 changes of socks and
underware will not last long.
The PITA is well worth the trouble!!!
