Appliances
These small appliances came in super handy as we lived in our RV for a year
This is perfect for your camper or your next party to make lots of ice.
Opal Ice Maker: Soft, chewable ice at home
I didn't like using the stove in my RV, so we used it sparingly. Queue the air fryer. This was a life saver to make quick easy meals or snacks. My son would do his chicken strips or corn dogs. Mine was even big enough to make a small pizza. Definitely a win in our book to have this in our RV or even our house.
Air Fryer
This is another life saver for cooking in a small space like an RV or even at home. We made several one pot dishes in our Instapot at night, and still do. Make sure you get the appropriate size for the number of people you cook for so you have enough to make enough for even left overs.

Because you don't have a lot of sink space to wash dishes, save some time and grab these liners for your air fryer. When making easy things that basically need to just heat up or frozen items that you're cooking, this makes for the easiest clean up afterwards.

This was my other best small appliance that came in handy. On nights I just wanted to make something as easy as hamburger helper, this was my go to appliance.

Storage items
Living in small spaces with not a lot of storage can be tricky, but these are some things that helped keep us organized.
Having baskets like these in our bedroom area gave us extra storage for shorts, tank tops and t-shirts, since the closets are only big enough to hold a few clothing pieces.
Canvas Baskets For Storage
I had room between my shower and wall in the bathroom, which allowed me to use a cart lke this to store rolled up towels and washrags, extra shampoo bottles, soap, brushes, and other small items needed daily.
Rolling Cart
We used these in our son's room to create a "chest of drawers" for his clothes since he didn't have a closet in the bunkhouse portion of our RV. We also had a second one to store sheets and towels in as well.
Sterilite 3 Drawer Wide Weave Tower Cement
We placed these in our closets to hold our socks and underwear. They tucked in nicely toward the back of the closet behind our hanging clothes.

Your guide to full-time RV living
There is not a lot of counter spaces in RVs, so I really didn't like using a dish drain rack - so instead I got one of these and it worked perfectly while saving my counter space.
Roll Up Dish Drying Rack, Over Sink, 17.8x11.3 (Gray)
Since we were not set up for full time camping, we had to empty and clean our holding tanks every Sunday. Thank goodness for this portable tank, we didn't have to move our camper each time and could stay in place while using our portable sewer tank i...

Our favorite campgrounds close to home
After living in our RV for a year while rebuilding our home from Hurricane Laura, we did take her out for a few spins to some family-favorite campgrounds.
This is a little longer drive for us, but well worth it. It has indoor and outdoor pools, a lazy river, and a pond that you can fish. It's a great overall family atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out.
Gator Grounds RV Resort
Our family has been going to this RV park for several years now. We would go meet them before we even got an RV. They have a spring-fed pond with a beach area great for family fun in the sun. They also have a little bar area for some adult beverag...
