Preparing to move into a very small RV leads to doing some very odd things.
For quite some time now I’ve been making mental lists of what I should put in that very small space between my bathroom and the back door of the van. The space is five inches deep by two feet wide. So, today I placed a foot stool 5″ from the wall in the corner of our living room and started stuffing things into the space. Here’s the result:
From left to right: the blue bag in the corner is the sun umbrella that attaches to my bag chair to keep me from from burning–which I do VERY easily. The grey bag is my new folding table. The tall gadget is my Swiffer handle to which I attach dry or wet cloths depending on whether I am dusting or mopping. The green bag is Dave’s bag chair which I will need for visitors. The white contraption is the rest of the umbrella set which I didn’t know wasn’t in the bag until Dave told me when I thought I was done. The very short black bag is a 3-corner stool I use as a foot stool when traveling–I need to put my feet up regularly and this is my outdoor solution to that challenge. And the far right thing is my vacuum cleaner that converts from a floor model to a handheld so I can vacuum anything that needs it.
Did you notice I didn’t get MY bag chair in there? It doesn’t fold down enough to fit it into a five inch space. That means it is going to have to go in a different corner. One by the front wheel of my TravelScoot. It should fit just fine there.
Now I just have to figure out a system for tie downs that keeps all this from rattling around while driving.
TTYL,
Linda
ps. I’ve been taking a vacation from counting Weight Watchers points. I am within a pound of where I was when I stopped doing that a few weeks ago. So, I can maintain but not lose without the tracking. Helpful to know.
You are really getting organized and ready. How fun.
That’s a real good idea if you have limited space. Good for you. You’ll have it half packed and know where things are before you even take possession! 🙂
WOW…didn’t know you could put that much stuff in 5″. You did a great job! Getting exciting.
I’ve debated about one of those tables for a long time, but haven’t really needed one since last summer. Since then, everywhere I’ve stayed has had picnic tables. When will you be heading south?
