An RV could either be a never-ending bumpy ride or your slice of heaven on wheels. It all depends on the decorations, equipment, and appliances you set it up with. Now the question is, how can you transform your RV to feel homier? From kitchen tools to emergency kits, follow our guide to make the best out of your mobile home.
Kitchen Equipment
An instant pot is perfect for an RV since you can prepare any meal in it, either slow-cooked or steamed. You can make flawless rice all in one small and affordable product. That said, a slow cooker liner is indispensable to any RV as well, as it doesn’t generate a significant amount of heat, and all you have to do to clean it is remove the liner, and the pot is clean! For your RV, you should always focus on purchasing efficient products.
Investing in an item that has more than one use is also another hack since it minimizes your shopping list. A programmable coffee maker is a great example, as it could be used as both an alarm, a coffee maker, and an air freshener since the whole RV will smell like coffee! A portable blender is also a great addition to your kitchen, as it takes no space and no time to clean. You could mix any legumes in it, and make some fresh juice as well. Don't forget that the kitchen isn't just about appliances, some utensils and cutlery are just as important, but most of us forget to buy enough.
Emergency Items
A carbon monoxide alarm is a must in any RV. It detects gas leaks that a human nose can’t identify, and could save a life or prevent a fire. Another thing a lot of people don't know about is a cell phone booster because being in the middle of nowhere is scary on its own, and having no reception can be alarming. However, having a cell phone booster might just be the item you need to call for help when there’s otherwise no alternative.
On the other hand, you never know if you will have to do an emergency stopover while you’re on the road, and having your RV break down also means that you’d be compelled to wait outside your mobile home for help if there’s no power. Times like these are where a portable generator comes in handy. If you want a generator that is easy to travel with, an air-cooled diesel generator will be your best bet. Although, make sure that you check reviews and gather as much information as you can about a product before buying it, as some generators may not be compatible with your vehicle.
Kitchen Tools
A biodegradable RV cleaning cloth is the perfect replacement for paper towels, since it holds up to more than 16 times its weight, lasts for six months, and produces less waste. A stovetop cover, on the other hand, will save you so much space since you can place your vegetables on the stove, and cut anything you want on it. After you are done, you can rinse it off and store it away. This comes in handy when you don’t have enough space in your RV to install a counter, and it also comes cheap.
Decorations
Fairy lights are a good example of items that we could all agree to add a homey feeling to an RV, and they make the whole place more picture-worthy. A portable silicone pocket, on the other hand, could be the pop of color you need in your bathroom, or for storing all the miscellaneous stuff that you don't know where to put, such as makeup brushes, scrunchies, phone chargers, and the like.
If you want a more convenient lighting system, LED lights could illuminate your RV at night time when you are trying to sit back and enjoy the view. Plus, they save electricity and are perfect for reading. However, if you want to make some drastic changes in the vehicle, targeting the interior design of your mobile home might be a good idea. You can decorate on a budget by replacing old curtains, adding some carpeting, or hanging some string lights. These simple tricks are affordable and can add glam to your RV. Opt for some crazy colored wallpaper if the interior feels dull.
Owning an RV is a lot of fun, yet it comes with a huge responsibility. You have to be sure that you are ready for any emergency that might happen on the road. On the other hand, redecorating your RV is a great way to enhance the mood of your interior, while having the right kitchen tools under your belt will make your field trip more comfortable.
