Hi from a fellow Aussie, I live in Perth, Western Australia and this video was a random find....glad you have your Vegemite!!!
Thank you, glad you came across us.
Thank you for giving real tips & showing the results with out the ticked results of a long dragged out video. Nothing worst than trying to figure out what you need while watching some one drag out what you need by someone dancing. To music. You go straight for it.
Thank you. Glad you appreciated and liked the video style. -M
Will you adopt me? You look like the ultimate mom who takes care of everything and everyone. Loved the tour!
I FINALLY FOUND THE SILICONE BOWLS!!!! AND THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING!!! It wasn't easy and knowing how much they cost, but I had to pay more on Ebay, but, I got them! We I saw them, I wanted them because I loved the colors! Again Thanks!
Thanks for letting me know. So happy to hear that you found them.
It amazes me is how MUCH can be stored in the cupboards. 😁
Yes, we have been amazed at how much storage space we have had in Both of our RVs. -M
It amazes me how many spices people travel with. We carry salt, pepper, garlic and onion salt.
Great ideas. You have really maximized your storage. I’ve never seen a collapsible salad spinner - that seems like a fantastic idea for the RV. Thanks for the tour.
Yes we started out with our regular salad spinner but it was just too big and bulky - love the collapsible one! You are welcome1
Everyone has different needs. I .org pets I would never use Corell as they shatter and splinter if they break into sharp pieces. Also I love baking in my RV. Cheers
Thank you for sharing. And yes... Corelle are definitely an issue if they get dropped and break. Especially in a towable where they are more likely to break. Bamboo dishes are pretty great, but were not as commonly available when we did this video. -M
I love what you have done. Great tips for a small kitchen as well. Thanks Julie!
Thank you. Glad you found some great tips too.
Thank you for taking the time to show us how you do things like the Correll dishes. If anyone has trouble with mice I use Mouse-a-way from Amazon it smells pleasant I make bags out of cheesecloth but it does shack-like pepper so you could put it in a bowl but you won't have a problem!
You are so welcome, and thank you for the suggestion. -M
This was fun, goung to get the salad collapse bowl and the bags..hugs🤗💞
we love them both!
Julie, I'm going crazy!!! I change my kitchen storage around everytime I watch your videos!! Haha. Thanks
vin
Hahahaaa too funny Vin! We miss you on the live webinars at RV Success School! Cheers!
the only reason is because of working so much
Now I want to watch Crocodile Dundee again!! LOL Thanks for so many tips and ideas.
That's not a knoife, THIS is a knoife! Maaaate ;) LOL
So many great ideas, thanks for sharing !! We love your channel, very interesting and useful content .
Safe travels ☆☆☆☆☆
Thanks LouAnn!
Love the kitchen side of the RV. This is awesome :)
If you like that kitchen, wait until you see the kitchen in our remodeled kitchen in our new (though older) RV. Here is a link. rvlove.com/2019/04/15/episode-8-the-final-reveal-ultimate-rv-makeover/
Great ideas for space saving it will help my wife and I thanks
Anytime :)
Great information and ideas🌞 I am so excited to get our new rv and set up my kitchen
It's FUN! And we do review ours every so often to make sure it's still working optimally, especially the first 3-6 months...
Thank you for sharing your tips. I'm looking at a Class B so I would have to really cut down on priorities of utensils and dishes. I do prefer to cook than eat fast food on the road, and I appreciate you sharing what has worked for you especially the multi use and collapsible items.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed this. Wishing you every success in your adventures.
Great video! 👍. Curious though.. you showed the containers you store dry foods etc in and the bags you place fruit and veggies in in the frig. Do you think you could do a video of the process you go through when you come from the grocery store? I think that would be interesting to see. Safe travels!
Never thought of that but good idea - thanks!
I agree with ncylee4, some GREAT ideas. Always interested in seeing how others do their storage; gives the rest of us ideas of products out there that we can use. Thanks, again.
Thanks Raymond, I always remember wanting to see a video like this from others so finally got around to doing one of our own own! Glad you found it helpful!
Definitely adding those silicone bowls to my Amazon wish list. Love silicone kitchen ware, too! How cool is the collapsible salad spinner?! 😲 Saw it a few weeks ago and couldn't put them on my wish list fast enough. Along with silicone collapsible measuring cups and strainers. I even scoped out a silicone (not collapsible) 4 cup measuring cup.
I'm a total foodie and very kitchen-driven. I would love to see an updated video on this same subject, if you have additional info and/or changes since switching to CC.
Note to self: get a label maker. ❤️😍
Thanks for your great comment. So happy to hear that you got so much from it. -M
Great tips, thank you 😎
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you, -M
Love the Crocodile Dundee reference.
Hahahaaa maaaate!
Love the tips! 💜
You're welcome!
Guys, i want to see the fireplaced fired up! Been in Vegas, so late to watch this.....I.m also fascinated with the magnetic paint/ chalkboard.....looking great!!!!! Crap, this went on wrong vid,!
Wonderful ideas!! Was a little surprised you're not using more collapsible items (measuring spoons, cups, mixing bowls, etc.) as they save me a LOT of space in my cabinets and drawers.
We got the Joseph Joseph Nesting bowls as a wedding gift so they are a bit sentimental... and still very space saving for us as they are bowls and cups in one.. the spoons are heart shaped, so we're kinda partial to those too LOL BUt yes all things collapsible we generally love in our RV!
Collapsible has it’s place (sea to summit for example) but for those of us in trailers I find nesting especially anything stainless steel will last way longer, easier to scrub clean (pop into dishwasher when back home), and less time expanding/collapsing. MSR SS bowls nest well. We tend to live outside - outside cooking so the indestructibility of stainless steel makes it a worthwhile investment. I also love Joseph Joseph’s nesting containers with matching coloured snap lids.
& French Nogent can opener.
Another great vid!
LOVE the Crocodile Dundee reference with the knife! Haha!
You actually carry Vegemite on board? I have tried it... I'll say no more. :)
Thank you. Glad you liked the video and the Aussie references. Yes, Julie likes to have a bit of Vegemite once in a while. Supply lasts quite a while with only Julie eating it.
We have a Tiffin 34TGA, the front is like yours. Funny, we use the same drawer for our junk.
Hahah too funny! Those little bamboo dividers fit well!
I like your knife handling
Thank you.
I've learned square/rectangle storage containers/dishes & glasses use less space in cupboards. I love square dishes!!! I've also found square canning jars in all sizes. (use glass in the house, not the RV). I'm going to order the tiny space jars with the holder! I'm ALWAYS knocking spice jars over 😡
Great tip. Thanks for sharing.
Your kitchen is huge compared to mine! Our 24' kitchen has 3 tiny cupboards, no pantry, but a decent sized fridge. Most of our food is stored under the dinette.
Yes, the kitchen in that motorhome was pretty big for a motorhome. The kitchen in our more recent motorhome is even better, especially after our major renovation. Check out the final reveal blog post and related video at rvlove.com/2019/04/15/episode-8-the-final-reveal-ultimate-rv-makeover/
V helpful. I’m just clearing out my house to sell and buy an RV so won’t keep the metal bake wear or trays. Or even my mixing bowls you have given me a place to start. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! -M
Hello, I love watching your video!!! I love your kitchen gadgets! Could you PLEASE tell me where you got the silicone measuring bowls from?! I love the colors...I got the salad spinner, the spice bottles all ready to purchase!! Oh the plates and the bowls. Thanks sooo much for the helpful tips for the RV!
Hello La'Tice, Thank you. So glad that you love watching our videos. I looked everywhere I know of to try to find where we found those silicone bowls, but can't find it, and can't even find similar on amazon. the plates and bowls are Corelle. They stack nice and are relatively light weight, and are durable, but if they do break, they shatter into tiny pieces. They work great in a smooth riding Class A coach, but probably would not be as good of a fit for a travel trailer. Here is a link to many of our other kitchen favorites. www.amazon.com/shop/rvlove?listId=11HRAKYYW0AZF
Thanks again. -M
great video
Welcome!
I have that Cuisinart knife set with covers and they are great for use in the RV. Great tips for storing your silicone item in the unused oven, my Motorhome doesn't even have a conventional oven, just a microwave/convection unit. There is a cupboard for storing pots and pans under the stove top.
Agreed! Lov the cuisinart knives with sleeves and don't even need a regular oven anymore - love my convection/microwave combo! Convection cooks great and so much easier...
RVLove | Marc & Julie Bennett I haven't used it yet, but I'm sure there is a learning curve.
I just downloaded the manual online (faster than finding in my RV LOL) and followed the instructions. Some will tell you to modify the cooking time/temp is using a convection, but I just do it exactly the same as a conventional recipe/oven and have never had an issue. For example, if a recipe calls for 10 mins at 350F, I preheat at 350 and cook for 10mins and everything works out great! I have cooked turkey breast, key lime pie, pumpkin pie, cookies, cakes etc. Hope that helps!
RVLove | Marc & Julie Bennett Thank you, it does help. I'm a little intimidated by it, so I guess I'll start with some simple and see how that goes. Not having a conventional oven was almost a deal breaker, but we liked the motorhome so much that I said I could live with it. We have a sticks and bricks home base in the summer, but travel to warmer climates during the colder months. In 2017, we were somewhere other than our sticks and bricks for 8 months of the year, and this year it will be about 7 months.
Love seeing the tips & suggestions. I was wondering about the rubber shelf liner that you use - I had the same thing and found that every time I took something off the shelf, the rubber had stuck to the bottom of the object that I was removing. I've since taken the rubber liner out of MOST of our shelves/cupboards. Just curious as to whether you've had the same issues with yours...
Hmm no Diane we haven't! Wonder if it's the same brand?
Lots of great ideas that we will use when we get our RV next year. I am curious, though, where are your sauce pans, large pots, and your trash can?
You know I completely overlooked that! Pots and pans in the pullout drawer under booth dinette. Trash can in cupboard under kitchen sink! Thanks!
Thanks! Good luck with your new RV.
In your oven, you stored +++ and you show a glass rectangle for the turkey. Do you cook in the gaz oven after emptying everything or in the BBQ ...??
She said she doesn't use her oven any more and pointed to the one up top, 13:25 she said it's a convection oven she now uses..
I share your Talenti methodology 😉
Great video😍
Thanks for the laugh. Glad to hear we are not alone with the Talenti methodology.
It would be helpful if you listed your items with a link. Love those little silicone measuring bowls, can't find them. :(
Yes, we have had a really tough time finding those silicone bowls since we bought them too. We usually try to share links, sorry we didn't have enough in this one. -M
Love the storage tips. I wonder do u guys have much that shifts in your coach when driving. How do u keep thinks In place. I know when u guys get the new coach settled in it’s going to be sharp. Looking forward to a update on the organization of the new one.
Most of our items stay in place while driving. Larger class A coaches ride very smooth. travel trailers, especially those hitched to bumpers instead of 5th wheel have much more movement. We make sure cabinets are closed, and learn how to put things in places that they don't move much. We also use little rubbery shelf inserts to keep dishes from sliding.
RVLove | Marc & Julie Bennett ya my travel trailer dose not have much that moves when we tow it. Only thing is a stack of plastic cups in the kitchen that fall out at me and the medicine cabinet that nothing stays. That’s also behind our axels and that’s where a lot of things move in towable units is the front and rear.
What size Instant Pot do you use in your RV? Also, I am very excited to see you have a bread maker. I bake a LOT at home and was about to give away my bread maker because I don't use it at home but now maybe I will give it another chance in our travel trailer. Of course then I will have to figure out how to take along my flours. How do you store flours for your bread making?
Hi Joan. I started with a 6QT Instant Pot and love it. But it can be a bit big so I bought a 3QT which I also love! I can't bear to give either of them up, so am lucky in our current (new to us) 40 motorhome we have the space and weight capacity to keep both - and I use them both! I think most couples could get by easily with the 3qt... whereas a 6qt is good for families. Oh and mine is a 1lb breadmaker and i just buy Pamela's breadmix which i get in a big 4lb bag. Hope that helps! OH And we now have a Product reviews page on our website where you can watch video reviews of our favorite gear - some have discount coupons too - find it here rvlove.com/gear/product-reviews
Besides an instant pot, what other cookware do do use, and where do you keep it? Thanks!
Hi Roz, great idea for a future video! But to answer you now, the main appliances I use are the Instant Pot (you saw where I keep that) Breadmaker (you saw where I keep that) and the Ninja Food Prep System... I usually keep that on the countertop... and also the Magma Cookware which I keep in the drawer under the booth dinette... all links here bit.ly/RVLoveHomeKitchen
I love your Jeep, what type of Jeep is It?
Great Video Julie, just curious where you got your Counter Top Water Container?
We just bought that off of Amazon. I think it was made by Brita. We hear good things about Berkey filters. But, in our current motorhome, we installed an Acuva water purification system. It uses Ultra Violet light and filters to make very safe water, and doesn't take up much counter space. Here is a link to Acuva for more information. acuvatech.com/ -M
Bed linens. Where do you store extra sheets and quilts or comforter?
We have one spare set of sheets stored above the bed. No extra quilts/comforters as we have no need.
Great video. I would love to know what you have removed, from the whole trailer, through the years. Things you thought you needed but did not actually use.
Great question Brenda! We started out with a handheld kitchen mixer then put it back in storage at Marc's mom's... but then I ended up re-buying one on Amazon when I realized I wanted / needed it to make a dessert pie. We started out without a toaster but ended up buying a small, light cheap one at our first Walmart stop across the country! LOL. I put my heavy wooden knife block back into storage as I prefer the ones with blade covers. We swapped out our saucepans for a nesting Magma set which I love and reviewed here czcams.com/video/axhaBWKA4VE/video.html and started out with a setting for 6 of the Corelle dishware (keeping in mind there are 5 parts per setting) but offloaded 2 so now have a setting for 4 which is perfect. I think that's about it - we did a pretty good job of paring down our kitchenware before hitting the road, but often review (at least twice a year). Hope that helps!

Great to hear a fellow Aussie has the Vegemite handy! I live in France so have to get future bnb guests to bring some (Keens Mustard and Curry powders and Cherry Ripes) over for me. I'll be stocking up before I hit the road in my RV in the US next March. I imagine you can't buy it over there can you?
Actually you can buy a log of Aussie goodies at Cost PLus World Market and sometimes even Amazon! We have even seen Tim Tams at Walmart and Target! Oi! Oi! Oi!
RVLove | Marc & Julie Bennett thanks that's good to know. I'll check it out. love your videos.
Thank you!
Q. Does your silicone ware work well in the convection microwave?
Yes it works great! Love my silicon cookware
Where do you store your can goods non perishable items?
Most of our can goods and non-perishables are stored in cabinets above and below our tv. But we don't carry a lot of those items in this RV since it doesn't have a lot of weight carrying capacity. -M
Where did you get those stackable different sized bowls?
We bought them on amazon. Here is a link to our amazon shop where we try to list our commonly asked about items.
www.amazon.com/shop/rvlove
I have a question. Did you bake much in your sticks and bricks? Did it take you long to get used to the convection microwave? I do a lot of baking - bread, muffins, pies, cookies, biscuits, pizza etc. I’ve thought that I wanted an RV oven and it surprised me that you were not using the oven in your RV. I would think that it would be good when you are boondocking because you can’t use the convection unless you have power from a generator or solar energy. Anyway, I’d like to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks.
Hi Julie, I used to bake a fair amount in our S&B. For a while I was scared to use the convection as I had no idea how but it's SUPER easy, now I love it! I first tried cooking in our convection while DRIVING czcams.com/video/pwBfKPAB0eo/video.html - you can see how it turned out in this short video. I did use the regular propane oven a few times but it was such a pain to get everything out, light it, have stuff around the rv and wait for it too cool before putting it all back... and the results in the convection are more consistent, it's just way simpler. I rarely if ever use the convection when boondocking.. maybe one day. We are often in warm places and it heats the RV up unnecessarily... if I did want to however I could run the genny for an hour or so, it's not that big of a deal. Hope that helps!
RVLove | Marc & Julie Bennett yes, thanks for the explanation. It makes a lot of sense. I have 2 instant pots that I use for baking potatoes in the summer rather than heating the house with the oven right now.
❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
Thank you
Where did u get the spice strips from?
Hello. We got those online from Amazon.
Here are the Spice bottles with strips amzn.to/2RHBAwq
And here are the Strips only (holds spice jars that you can buy from supermarket) amzn.to/32JUZTL
Hope that helps! -J
How do you cook? I did not see any pots or pans.
Yes, sorry I forgot to show those! I did a review on our cookware (links in video description) here czcams.com/video/axhaBWKA4VE/video.html and also the Magma Set we use is in here bit.ly/RVLoveHomeKitchen

We appreciate it :)
How do you order from amazon? Deliver at campground?
Yep. We have amazon prime, and we regularly receive deliveries at campgrounds. Just check with the campground before placing the order, because not all campgrounds accept packages.
RVLove | Marc & Julie Bennett just found you guys and been watching like crazy. Bit different for us as in Canada and don’t want to go state side for next few years. So different rules as for medical province to province and weather.lol. Plus we were all set to do this 2 yrs ago and breast cancer deemed I stay here for at least 3 years. So 1.5 to go, all clear so far. Lol however our daughter is due for first baby after trying for 8 yrs this September... now feeling tad guilty leaving even though as hubby says we have to medically be back for 5 months a yr.. quality vs quantity....🤔
Hi did you get an answer to your Q
I like the tips and gadgets! But to say that is limited space is funny... That kitchen is bigger than my kitchen at home. I think you just have too much stuff!
Now that is just my opinion, A full serving set is not needed in an RV, but that is your choice. I just would not call it tiny home or limited space.
Again, though, good tips and tricks for people who have a large motorhome with alot of things.
Yep, change of perspective when you live full time in an RV like us. Totally respect your opinion on that though. Definitely more than most people need for RVing. -Marc
You have a lot of cabinet space, we don't have that much space, good video tho.
Thanks
First.
your RV kitchen is bigger than the kitchen in my house :(
Yes, RVs can be surprisingly spacious. -M
