Inside a Small RV
If traveling the country with your family in an RV of your own is how you’d like to see yourself taking vacations soon, you’ll want to know all about the inside of a small RV. Below, we’ll show you what to expect inside a small RV, how to stay organized and explain the difference between a standard bath and a wet bath so that you can pick the perfect RV for your family.
What to Expect Inside a Small RV
Choosing to go with a smaller floorplan doesn’t mean you have to give up your creature comforts. Many small RVs offer luxury amenities and all of the features you can find in larger RVs, just in a smaller size. For example, small RVs provide fully equipped kitchens, bedrooms with wardrobes, and full bathrooms.
How Do You Maximize Space in a Small RV?
One of the ways you can ensure everyone is comfortable in your small RV is by learning how to maximize your space. Here are a few easy RV tips for making the most of your RV’s space.
Assign Places for Everything
This has been one of the best ways to keep things tidy, no matter how small your space is. If everything has a place and it gets replaced every time it’s used, you’ll be able to stay much more on top of cleaning and tidying your small space.
Use Command Hooks
RVs often have spacious cabinets and closets, but you can make the space work even better for you by putting up command hooks. Whether you need a place for a broom or additional coat hooks, Command hooks can help you stay organized. You can even use command hooks in the kitchen to create convenient places for spatulas, cooking spoons, tongs, and more.
Pack Light
If you’re planning a weekend stay, it’s a good idea to pack light so that you don’t have as many things to take up space in the RV. You’ll find that the RV wardrobes offer an excellent place for storing your clothing and gear, but the more versatile you pack, the more space you’ll have to work with in the long run.
Add Drawer Dividers
One of the ways you can avoid the dreaded doom drawers is by adding some simple dividers to make the space more customized to your needs. Be sure to measure your drawers before purchasing because RV drawers tend to run smaller than standard drawers.
Get a Tension Rod Corner Storage Shelf
You can use a tension rod corner storage shelf in your bathroom, bedroom, and even in the kitchen to create additional shelf space. These are the perfect way to keep knick-knacks organized in any room.
Do Small RVs Have Bathrooms?
Yes. Almost all RVs have a bathroom or the option to have a bathroom added to the floorplan at this point. However, many small RVs are designed with wet baths instead of traditional bathrooms to help save space. Unlike a conventional bathroom, a wet bath is made so that the shower and toilet are all in the same space. This allows you to have a convenient shower seat and dramatically reduces the bathroom’s footprint. The only major downside to the wet bath is that it does take a while to dry after a shower, so it’s best in RVs designed for couples instead of families, where the bathroom won’t get as much use as it would with a large family.
A standard or split bathroom offers a shower and a toilet separate from one another as it would be at home.
Whether you’ve decided to purchase an RV and take your vacations on the road, or you’re still weighing the pros and cons of RV life, these tips can help you understand what to expect inside a small RV.
