When we travel, by cruise ship, travel trailer or car, I bring books. And an e reader. E readers overheat in the hot Caribbean sun, sand scratches them and they can be stolen while you take a dip in the ocean. So a nice book in solid form works better. And, when we finish a book, we then pass it on by leaving it at the campground little library, in a hotel lobby, or at the cruise ship library. There is a purpose for all kinds of reading, but while inside your rv, I can see why you keep the clutter down by only using your electronic device.

We traveled a fair amount when our son was younger, and after donating some of those lovely souvenirs, we started getting the collectible pressed penny that you do in a machine that can be found at a number of tourist places. We liked that they were very economical (fifty cents plus the penny that is being pressed) and they took up very little space. He had an album he would keep them in. I just wish we had thought to take a Sharpie and write the date on the back. It would also be fun to put them in a jar.

I love most of your list. I have even stopped buying most of those things for our home. LOL @ shot glasses. That was my “thing” in my 30s. Unfortunately, I travelled to a lot of places then that I won’t return to, so I can’t bring myself to toss them just yet, but the haven’t been unpacked the last few moves. Now, I buy jewelry. Not only is it something I always rotate, but when someone compliments a piece and I say, “ Oh, thank you. I actually bought this in Malta,” (my favorite necklace) it’s a great conversation starter. If you miss the throw pillows, you could serve a purpose with them. In my camper van, mine are filled with sweaters, blankets, my just-in-case puffy coat, etc. I would never pay so much for a mattress. A couple years ago, hubs and I replaced our perfectly comfortable mattress just because it was old and it was “time”. I bought a $200 memory foam mattress on WayFair. (Free shipping, in a box and shrink-wrapped, puffed out just like yours.) About a month later, hubs asked, “Is it only me or are you sleeping better on the new mattress, too?” To which I replied, “Yes! Like a log! You too?”

All of these tips are excellent, whether in an RV, or sticks and bricks. In fact, I'm on exactly the same page: no nick nacks, seasonal decor/decor in general, hit the library for all reading materials, including daily papers, etc. I don't even save a lot of clothing; buy gently used consignment/thrift store finds, and when out of season, donate and buy again the next year to save on storage. Not at all expensive because thrift prices are rock bottom. If you know what to look for, great finds are everywhere. Then there's the Dollar Tree. I could go on... but won't! It's extremely easy to look well-dressed, and as if money isn't an issue accordingly.

You don't have to give it up. I'll use a wooden cutting board for an example. Size depends on your preference. Find a good spot where your cutting board can live permanently. Use it as the basis for seasonal decor items. Perhaps a 6" Christmas tree with a few ice cube sized wrapped presents. The board will accommodate all sorts of goodies for Valentine Day. Change out for symbols of St Patrick's day. If you like sweets, a small candy dish can be refilled with holiday day appropriate items. If you're in the US, think about how you can decorate your board for July 4th. Wrap the board with seasonal/themed paper or fabrics. Enjoy your creativity as you develop new ways to enhance your board. If you include consumables as a part of your decor, such as candy corn for Autumn it won't take much space to store the items you choose to keep. Remember the bowl you use for chocolate kisses in Feb may also be used for candy canes in Dec and salsa in June. (Dual duty item.) Choose a board and an appropriate storage container for you space. Then, you can make seasonal decor work for you. Both will have limits, yet give much opportunity to full explore the boundaries of those limits, as the seasons change. Hope this is some food for thought. PS: If you don't have a flat surface for a cutting board, think about wall space with a corkboard or pegboard. You may be pleasantly surprised at what you can do with one of those that's 18"x18" or "24x24". Pegboard has all sorts of options to aid in display. On travel days either one fully decorated can be placed on a bed and re-hung quickly at your next destination.

Disagree on the Berkey, pretty hard to justify the upfront cost vs bottled water plus those replacement filters are not cheap either. I get enviro-concerns but budget is important too. It will take most people years to a decade or more to recoup the cost of the Berkey. If you have a high demand for drinking water then perhaps the Berkey can be justified otherwise stick with the cheap bottled stuff.

Great video. As for bringing along too much stuff, I learned from my Dad decades ago when we were little and went camping is that he gave us a beer box. Sadly it was an *empty* beer box. 😉 Now remember, this was in the 60's and 70's. He said you can take all you want and what you want but it ALL must fit into the beer box. So, when we started camping with our kids is that we bought them a duffle bag and the same rules applied. You can bring anything you want and as much as you want but it all must fit in their duffle bags. And that rule applied to us as well. But that was camping, full-time, or long-term RV'ing is something different.

If you want to decorate for the holidays: Buy just a few sets of the programmable multi-color LED light sets. Ultra-low power consumption, and you have multi-color for Christmas, red and pink for Valentines, Red White and Blue for the 4th of July, orange and purple for Halloween and fall-colors for Thanksgiving. Plus they can do double duty for lighting screened in stuff, light up your rig in flashing hazard orange if you're stuck at the side of the road... Any other holiday decor - make it inflatables!

I like the 1 in 1 out rule but we are not even weekend warriors at this time, but if we were full or part time- it makes since. We just have a thought/ rule of---> can it be used for more than 1 thing. Example a step stool. It's a stool seat or a table. Also known as The Spork Rule Throw pillows -- due to our unit having a Murphy Bed and it's location / shape they help fill a gap at the head of our Bed to help keep our pillows from falling into the gap

This video made me laugh so hard! My husband LOVED it!! We have been full time almost 4 years now, but we are stationary, only moving when he got orders; now that he is retired out of the Marine Corps, we are stationary to care for his mom in WV. I have 5 pillows on the couch, 10 pillows on our Tempurpedic bed, and between our adult special needs daughter's instruments and my crafting supplies in the garage, we have to box up around 3K lbs if we move, lol! Decor and knickknacks? Maybe I went a little crazy, but our RV looks like a farmhouse when you enter, and everyone cant believe it looks so much like a home. If we traveled, it would, of course, be different, but my hubby LOVED everything you had to say, lol!! (He doesn't understand why we need so many pillows and blankets...😂)

In our class C which is 33 feet it has tons of inside and outside storage. My my has a tendency to always have more pots and pans than what I think is needed. My mind says couple three and that’s plenty. Wish I could convince her of that.

Why do you have to remove decor after travel?? Whatever decor I bought for my travel trailer…..stays in the trailer. I only put away in a bin or cabinet something that might fall or break during travel, but it’s not much. Also, I thought you weren’t full-time??? If not, why not keep seasonal decor at your home when season is over?

I'm on the fence with ebooks, there convenient but if internet or power is out then it is better to have physical book. I do have a few ebooks, I downloaded from p2p or from bit torrent especially if you can get them for free. I also enjoy donating books and it would be cool if I can find a free library or exchange.
