Sorry I can't figure out how on iPad to copy a link but if you go to Beckysfeatherednest on youtube and look for her part one and two organizing an rv, I think you can find the two. Of course not for those with limited data, but for those who need ideas on organization of RV she has some great ideas. She is more OCD than I will ever be such as with labeling but I got ideas for projects I want to do, such as affixing a metal strip in a cabinet to hold the magnetic chip clips so they don't get lost in a drawer . I happen use regular flatware and she uses plastic but each to their own. I do like a box in fridge for sandwich and burger fixings to carry to table or outside. Also neat to paint inside of a cupboard door with chalkboard paint so you can make notes. She has done a great job of finding tubs and boxes that fit cupboards and cabinets. Enjoy.

OMG, great ideas but I bet this woman labels her husband and kids. She even has the end of her toilet paper folded in a nice point. And I thought I was anal.

She doesn't move it very often, with all of her "decorations" sitting on tables and the stove! If I had that much stuff sitting around, it would take an hour just to put things away on a travel morning.

Easy to organize if you are sitting in your driveway. My thought is that she just got the unit and has not really lived in it yet.

Judy, I thought exactly the same thing until I happened to hear her say she sticks everything down with Velcro ! Of course she does! LOL she is the queen of Velcro, command strips, and probably has museum putty too!

She is uber-organized! But she had some really cool ideas too.

This much organizing is a little bit scary. If you organized your whole RV like this, why on earth would you need to have labels. I don't think camping with her would be any fun. Think what might happen to someone who put something down in the wrong place.

Longdog, I agree. She doesn't sound like a barrel of laughs!More like a drill sergeant. I'm semi-organized, which means most items have their places, but there is a cabinet that gets lots of stuff tossed into it....now where was that other shoe...where the ##!# am I going to put the deer antlers that were a gift from a shop owner who gave them to me after I refused to buy elk antlers for $40...

I wonder if her hubby or kids ever mess with her and put everything in the wrong place!

I wonder if she puts labels on the picnic table where everything should go and where everyone should sit?

And the dog...I sure wouldn't leave my bed if it was way up high on a shelf! I bet he's afraid to even scratch an itch for fear of falling off the shelf! :o

I wonder if she labels so the kids know where to find stuff and so next time she looks she can find stuff. She did mention she has I think 5 children though only the two youngest travel with them now. There are times I consider labeling when my husband and son still can't figure out which drawer items go in even though I have had them in the same drawer more than twenty years!
I thought the whole dog in the overhead with a heating pad was weird too. Cats maybe but not adog who might roll overand fall on your face in the night!
