One of the things that makes vacationing in an RV virtually a lifestyle for so many people in the US is that the mentality of being able to travel with an entire personal ecosystem on wheels is both challenging and satisfying. Having your vehicle and vacation unit be the same item allows for many of the usual hurdles that comes with traveling to be eliminated, but trades those conveniences with the need to be resourceful and come up with ideas for making those challenges more manageable. People who like DIY projects and lifestyles tend to be big into RV lifestyles as well.

For those just starting out, here are a selection of RV traveling hacks and ideas that we think are pretty close to genius; along with the websites we sourced them from for more. Take a look below:

Mount towel bars (and other things) on your walls with exterior grade Gorilla mounting tape.
Use Command broom holders to hold flashlights or wrenches.
Use an Instant Pot pressure cooker.
Use white vinegar to absorb odor.
Save dryer lint for starting campfires.
Watch your step with glow-in-the-dark tape.
Prevent heat loss by adding a vent cushion to your ceiling vent.
Tie a bar of soap to the spigot with pantyhose for easy hand washing.
Use a syringe to fix warped wood veneer.
Use a towel rod to hold your bath products in place.
A bar of Irish Spring soap will keep mice out of your vehicle.
Freeze 2-liter bottles to use as ice.
Square storage containers for efficient cabinet and refrigerator use.
Prevent burned food with a baking stone.
Use an Oxygenics shower head to increase water pressure.
Use museum putty to secure things on counters.
