    AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on TH-cam are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!

    Hi Kristy, Great video! I found the tips super! Would you consider making a "part 2" video? I ask because there is new technology out there -- air fryers, air-lock freezer bags, etc. Other things that came to mind are: meal preping (use one set of bowls, etc., to prepare 5 meals) and using parchment paper or aluminum foil (as you showed). Here are my two biggest tips: 1) I have a whole list of one-pan meals (seared salmon or chicken breast, etc. and vegetables, omelletes, pasta and sauce, soup and stews). And 2): All these can be made in one big (28cm Beka Chef Line), high-quality, deep-walled stainless frying pan with a lid and two grip handles -- no long handle getting in the way or to bump into!). The thick bottom holds heat for even cooking. It's bullet proof. The trick with one-pan meals is to know what to put in first (usually the veggies) and finish in the oven if you have one. For soups and stews, you may need one service bowl to put seared fish, meat or chicken into while finishing the onions and veggies and stock. But that one deep-walled 28cm frying pan is large enough for everything, including roasts. I have the full set of pots, but if I was stuck on a desert island, I'd take my 28cm deep-walled fryer. Everything else is just a luxury. Looking forward to the next video! God bless!

    Thank you for this video. I'm a 60 year old woman, never camped before in my life, in a week, I bought a campground lot, and a new 30 foot trailer. I'm soooooo scared, I need as much help as I can. Thank you again

      Momma Maria, I bought a new motorhome at 66 and set out on my own for 6 months. Learned a lot from all these videos and the other campers - most people are very nice and helpful. Glad you are feeling the fear and doing it anyway!

    Our Airstream is also a 25' FBSE. Husband made dividers for the upper kitchen and bathroom cabinets which we installed in sections just wide enough for each type of item to keep everything in place. So plates, cups, napkins, etc. each have a section. In the bathroom lotions, meds, bandages, etc. all have their own section.
    Added 5 drawers to the rig in hidden areas. So I have a pots drawer, baking drawer, mixer drawer, wine drawer, grill tool drawer in addition to the original drawers. One original drawer has been rebuilt much larger for DVD's in front section, and additional cleaning supplies in the back.

    I live on 100 acres and my house is the only warm thing in 100 acres, so we battle the mice every Winter. We always store our sugars, and flour bags in the fridge. Anything else that is open (like cardboard boxes) goes in a sealed plastic bag before it goes back in the cabinet. My MIL told me about storing sugars and flours in the fridge and we haven't had a problem with it since!

    We use a pizza stone in the oven to distribute the heat more evenly.

  • @patriciawilliams3165
    @patriciawilliams3165 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very sensible suggestions, had several campers through the years Corelle dishes are the best , I never used any thing between them and never broke any. I used the little flimsy white paper plates between some dishes as a cushion when needed. Nice plastic glasses that looked like glass. Plastic containers with secure lids for food storage. All the years we camped my only critters were some absolutely micro mini ants we picked up in Florida they were resistant to every bug spray out there, finally sold them with the camper at no extra charge. Loved our camping days at ages 82 and 90 it’s what we miss the most. Enjoy your younger years and store the memories.

    Useing the scraper will also cut down on the amount of food that could possibility get in your grey tank.

    @keithcompeau2679 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I love my wall mounted magnetic knife rack. It keeps the knives handy, the edges protected and frees drawer space. Also, a pizza stone or "AirBake" cookie sheet does wonders for distributing the heat more evenly in the oven.

We newbies are still learning. We have laughed and cried but love rv living. Thank you for the incredible amount of information you give to campers. We love how you keep it simple and fun. Yall have made us laugh also, so thank you so much.

    When you mentioned inside the trailer while you’re pulling it a long, it does feel like an earthquake inside, I hope you saw the movie, the Long long Trailer with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez, where she is in the trailer and Desi’s character opens the trailer door and it’s a huge mess inside and she’s on the floor covered in all that mess and she throws a pie in his face. It’s a funny movie! 😁

    I've rv-ed all my life, but love to learn small tips from others. I love how much of what we do is replicated by everyone else on the road without even knowing it. There is more than one way to do things right, but in the end the simple, cheap fixes are generally the go to.

  • @karenturner8302
    @karenturner8302 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great Tips - thanks. Always love your videos. We don’t have an oven but we bought a Ninja Flip Air Fryer the one with the sear tray. We bought it for the house as well as the RV. We love it. It sits on top of the stove when we are moving and when stopped it flips up and out of the way. We will start using it outside to keep the smell to a minimum in the RV. Just need to get the right extension cord. I am a big cook so this was a good addition. Again, Thanks Karen.

    Your channel is fantastic. Subscribed. Bought myself a new 2018 Ford F-150 4x4 two days ago. In a few months I plan on buying myself a travel trailer. Then, in the 2nd half of this year I'm hitting the road. Been stationary my entire life... always stuck in one area for long extended periods of time and hardly done any traveling. I want to see all of the continental United States and your tips on trailers/RV's have been invaluable. Thank you!

    We eat a lot of Pasta. We have a plastic colander that folds flat. Stores very easily.
    We might have a bit more storage space than you. The top shelf in a cabinet above the sink contains a toaster, a small mini food processor, and our coffee pot.
    Remember the old hand crank mixers? We have one of those too.

    We carry a Camp Chef 3 burner stove that goes outside the trailer.. Most of the cooking is done on this stove.. You can even cook pizza on this stove with either the pizza oven they sell or a pizza stone and a Webber grill lid! We made 11 pizzas one evening using this method with all the guests in awe that we could do that! We also carry a small bullet smoker so we can start smoking a pork butt or other meats while we are away doing what we want to do.. 9 hours later it's perfectly smoked and ready to eat!! We entertain a lot when camping so the outdoor items come in handy for us!!!

  • @darksoul578
    @darksoul578 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I used to go camping as a kid an to prevent things from falling out on us was to use netting inside that hooks to little eye hooks so if anything shifted the netting stopped it from konking us in the face. You should try it an see if its not safer than worrying about whats going to come flying at you. Just a thought.

    Great tips! And thank you being kind to the mice. 😊 i had to do that once-I would give them a tiny peanut butter sandwich for the road (and then let them out far away into the Wild, imagining all the other critters being envious of their sandwiches). I am very sensitive to chemicals and have learned over the years lots of ways to keep away critters without poisoning myself or our dogs. Prevention is always the key. You guys are so inspirational!

    • @LongLongHoneymoon
      @LongLongHoneymoon  4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Regarding the spice racks behind your stove - IKEA makes Bekbam shelves that look almost the same. You can use them for lots of things such as spice racks, small book shelves, small items in your bathroom, etc. if you hang them upside down, you also have a towel bar with a shelf on top.

    I keep empty storage containers with the lids on them in the fridge as space is available

    I found a 3 piece nesting non stick pans with small handles on two sides at Costco. They work nice. I also converted our closet into a pantry. Used the metal grids for closet storage. Cut to fit and zipped tied them together at various heights. Best use of space. To keep my dishes from falling on my head I put a tension rod across the front.

    we use peppermint oil on clothes pins through out our trailer it repels rodents and roaches. we also use the adjustable bars. don't keep pizza stone or cast iron skillet in oven; the oven door has a layer of glass on the outside of it and can be broken by the skillet bouncing against it.
    we enjoy watching your videos.
    one more tip watch out for ants. one example we stayed at cedar Hill state Park in Texas made sure everything was not on the ground, but woke up at 2am and trailer was full of ants. my wife sprinkled baking soda all over the place and got rid of the ants in living space but there were so many went looking for where they came from found they were following the water line from the spigot so went got some ant spray and sprayed all non living space. got rid of the ants.

      Rev roy great tips! I recommend drawing a chalkline around trailer, pet bowls, bbq n chairs (it keeps ants out wont cross for some reason.) I use peppermint oil on cottonballs throw around the rv in any cabinet, undersink and wherever they can crawl. I like to spray tires with boric acid mixed with sugar and water to keep them from getting up into rv.

    I use different sized bungee cords between the handles to “lock” some of my cabinet doors that pop open if something inside knocks into them. I also put smaller things in organizer trays, and I use the cabinet bars to keep the pantry from becoming such a jumbled mess-push everything tightly together toward the back of the shelf and install the bars right up against the cans and boxes to keep it all from shifting. Makes setting up much easier and you’re less likely to experience #8. 🤪

  • @richcooper6880

    We have the Magma 10 piece nesting, ceramic non-stick Stainless Steel cookware set (A10-366). They come with pan protectors and quick release handles. They aren't the lightest or cheapest, but they take up little space, cook evenly, are very easy to clean and are designed to last a long time. We are very happy with this set and highly recommend them for stove cooking.

  • @scottysledshed

    Command Hooks. Use the vertical or even roof spaces in your cabinets as storage with command hooks. Our Cabinets are very tall and deep. So I will use command hooks for hanging up key ring type measuring spoons, pot holders, oven mitts, and even as holders for boxes of ziplock bags, plastic wrap, etc. Nesting bowls not only come in storage like Lock and Lock but also for cooking. We have a set that has 3 different bowls, strainer, sifter, measuring cups and spoons all in one nest. Find on amazon. Saves a ton of space. There also lots of collapsible kitchen items like strainers, and dish racks that fold up flat to take up less area of storage space.

    For super-ultra light and stackable, GSI Outdoors makes some pretty wicked stacking sets that include pots, skillet, lids, mugs, plates, and cups. I have a Bugaboo set for car camping that I found on clearance. The Bugaboo and Pinnacle are both pretty robust sets. Probably too ultra-light for your size airstream, but a good idea for smaller campers trying to shave ounces and save space.

  • @46619TAB

    I like your tip 'think how you cook'. We cook with fresh ingredients; produce, meats, eggs, fruits etc and I'm a scratch baker; breads, muffins, cobblers, pies etc. We use the microwave to warm liquids or melt butter, chocolate etc. We have a huge gas grille on the back deck but we have a nice electric grille we use inside when the weather's bad. We love to entertain and have a gourmet kitchen; 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers, a 36" cook top, 3 ovens, a micro/convection, a 36" wide refrigerated marble dough rolling counter and a matching Sub-0 fridge and freezer. The dilemma is how to function in the tiny galley in our FTV Class C and what to stock it with to do so. I'm thinking we may prep meals here to take along, the fridge/freezer seems to be a pretty good size considering how compact our soon to be RV is.
    I like the idea of Corelle dishes separated with the non-skip shelf liner material, it's a motor home, no rattles allowed. There are 2 deep drawers, 1 for cookware and a pull out pantry for dry goods and spices. It's going to be a hoot to get it right!!
    GREAT video and tips, thanks!!

    Great tips guys. Mice are a potential problem for everyone particularly during winter storage. We found and use a product called "Cab Fresh" which is a proprie baggett that is just tossed around the unit. Wonderful smell that mice don't like. Unlike poisons that attract mice then leave then dead in some far away corner of the unit . Works great for us ! Available from TSC.

    Hi Guys,
    I love watching your videos. Thanks for all of the tips, they are helpful ideas for even seasoned campers like my wife and I. We can't wait for the day we can spend more time on the road.
    A recommendation for tip 8 is tip 8a not only lean back but use your other hand to slide under the door as you are opening the cabinet to catch anything that might be falling from the items that may fall out.
    Another trick, which i haven't done yet, but is on my list is to put small eye hooks inside and small bungy cord to hold thing back in the cabinets from falling out. I have seen some new trailers and motor homes with a net but that would get in the way.
    Safe journey.

    • @LongLongHoneymoon
      @LongLongHoneymoon  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks Tony, I guess we're not the only people who've experienced items leaping out of those overhead cabinets! I agree that a bungee cord or netting might be an interesting option, if it wasn't too cumbersome.

    @NobodyOwesYouAnythin 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I haven’t bought my RV yet, but watching videos here and the rest of YT, I’m learning. I only make suggestions when I don’t hear something covered that really should be. Like now! When not only setting up your kitchen, but your entire RV, because RVs are considered to be High Profile vehicles, and it gets windy, Very windy at times, may I suggest Not draining your water tanks down all the way to save on fuel. And try to store most of what’s considered Heavy more towards the floor of your RV. Because every single pound you have that’s higher than center of gravity makes you more Top heavy. And when you incorporate what you have for water at 8lbs/ gal. plus your heavy items stowed down low, you’re both minimizing your chance of a rollover upon turning, plus if it gets windy both factors will keep your RV’s wheel more firmly on the road. I drove way back towards the end of what was called Swinging Meat, before it was cut up smaller before shipping. I can’t tell you how many times I saw these swinging meat trucks on their side along with Glue tankers making two turns in the same direction rolling over as the glue gets stuck, let’s say on the left side of the tanker after a right turn. And then almost immediately making another right hand turn onto an on-ramp. I’ve seen it happen. And all it takes is that one extra pound, stored up high to flip you. Speaking from experience, this is something to keep in mind as you not only load your RV, but before you leave, do an Inside walk around as well. Things get moved, people forget to turn off things that shouldn’t be on when you’re moving down the road. Sometimes you get in a hurry and that’s all it takes. And besides, that couple extra minutes of extra added attention to detail will save you a lot of heartache down the road. If there’s too many things to remember, write up an Exterior and Interior Checklist and laminate it. Then use a dry marker and check things off as you check it. You’ve put a lot of time and money into your RV. Take that extra step and be safe.

    Cutting felt and using it between plates works real good. I'm able to take fine china in our RV...you just had to pad them up. Same with wine glasses or nice water glasses. Our fancy water glasses are still stored in the box the came in and I just put felt around them as extra measure. Same with champaign flutes or crystal brandy glass..just wrap them in felt and tuck them in a box or the box they came in and pad them real good and let them ride on the lowest shelves. Sometimes we like to eat on nice dinnerware and get tired of paper plates. So just a little prep and felt, you can pack some nice dishes. Just let them ride on a low shelf and pad them super good.
