Packing Your RV

[Packing Your RV]

How do most full timer's pack their motor homes? I have just a couple of weeks to move out of our house and into the RV & I have no idea how to pack it.

Do you put your dishes, food, clothes, etc away just as you would in your house? Or do you keep everything in boxes/containers and unpack them when you get where you're going?

We're selling everything we own and keeping our clothes, a few personal possessions, and some music gear. This is TMI, but (for instance) do you just fold your undies and put them in a compartment or find it better to have them in a stoage basket type thing and then set on the shelf?

Our 1987 Fleetwood is a basement model so we have lots of storage...just not sure how to pack it. Man I have a LOT to learn!

[New To Fulltiming And Lot's Of Questions....]

Hello everyone!

We are Tim and Alisa Sheets. We live in Nevada and are in our late 40's/early 50's with grown children and 12 grandbabies & one on the way .

We've recently bought a 1987 Bounder and will begin full-timing at the end of April. It's both exciting and scary . We're going to Washington to do a gate attendant job for 5 months up by Spirit Lake. We're looking forward to it; it sounds really pretty there but I'm kind of worried about not having any electricity.

We are walking away from our home & selling practically everything we own. Deciding what to put in the motor home is pretty daunting. I don't even know where to start. We don't want to have to rent a storage shed for anything. Any tips for downsizing?

Also, I'm used to having a well stocked refrigerator. How do y'all shop and store food with those small fridges?

I know that people are able to have TV and internet when they are RVing.... how do you do that?

Sorry, lot's of questions. I'll be browsing this site to see if I can find answers.

Any hints/tips/advice will be greatly appreciated.
