Frugal Rv Travel Tips

1. RV Travel On One Tank of Gas

Remember the ending to The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy says she doesn’t have to look any further than her own backyard to find her heart’s desire? Well, we’re not suggesting camping out right outside the house, but think about going to places not too far away that you’ve always meant to check out.
You’ll be surprised at how many new and interesting destinations are just one tank of gas away. A lot of territory can be covered in just a few hundred miles, and you’re bound to discover exciting locations you never knew existed so close to home.

2. Put Your RV On A Diet And Get Better Gas-Mileage

It’s a simple fact that the less your RV weighs, the more mileage you’ll get on the road. Look around for places in your rig where you can institute a “less is more” policy. 
For example, you don’t have to set out with a full, fresh water tank for your RV excursion. Take what you need for the first day’s travel, plus a small reserve, and fill up once you’ve reached your day’s destination. 
Forget that bulky, economy-sized can of coffee: empty a smaller amount into an airtight plastic container that you can refill later. (One place not to cut back, though, is tire inflation: riding on fully inflated tires is a sure way to increase your gas mileage.)

3. Plastic not Paper Dinnerware - A More Economical Approach Overall

Sure, the eat-and-toss approach of paper plates and cups is the easy way to go – and might even seem economical when you buy in bulk. But lightweight, inexpensive plastic dishes are easy to find, and while they might not last forever, they’ll certainly see you through the duration of a long-distance RV excursion. 
Choosing plastic over a big stack of paper goods is also another way to save on weight, especially when you’re starting out on your RV trip.

Three Quick Tips to Organize Your RV Refrigerator

Learning to organize your RV refrigerator is like an art that develops with practice. The more miles you put on your rig, the easier it is to carry all of your favorite foods wherever you roam. There are many cool tips for your fridge and these three quick tips will help you get started.

Three Ways to Organize Your RV Refrigerator and Avoid Waste

1. Make a Road Trip Meal Menu

Every day in the U.S. more than 40 percent of food gets wasted, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. For example, heaps of rotten food added to landfills create more greenhouse gas emissions and hastens climate change. So, if you don’t want to be a part of the problem, start making a trip menu and thinking about food storage solutions for your RV refrigerator.
Planning meals and practicing smart RV cooking on the road requires the same common sense as menu planning for a sticks-and-bricks home. Knowing what items to buy and packing ahead of time will prevent food spoilage and save money too. (photo at left courtesy of Mr. Transistor iRV2.com member)
When planning your RVing meals remember:
  • One pot meals like soups and casseroles are easiest to make.
  • Choose meals with versatile ingredients like eggs, sausage and potatoes. These items can be used for breakfast and dinner.
  • Consider longer-lasting ingredients. Cabbage lasts longer than fragile lettuce, so make slaws in place of salads when possible.

2. Don’t Overpack

Overpacking a RV refrigerator is easy to do and has devastating results. Cramming too many groceries into a RV refrigerator and you’ll block the air circulation that keeps food cold. Food spoilage in RV refrigerators is easily avoided when you:
  • Minimize what you put in the refrigerator as much as possible. Buy non-refrigerated substitutes for certain basic ingredients. Pasteurized milk packaged in single-serve “aseptic” containers is a good example.
  • Remove items like produce from their bulky packaging. Eliminating unnecessary containers helps keep cold air circulating.
  • Pack smaller items on the top shelf closest to the cooling fans. This enables cool air to freely travel to the lower shelves.
  • Buy a set of RV refrigerator tension bars as this gadget prevents food from unexpectedly falling out of your refrigerator.

Six Ways to Save Water When Dry Camping

Each winter the Southwestern deserts get packed with winter snowbird RVers dry camping for the first time. Many will try hard to save water in remote areas, but most will be surprised to see just how quickly their precious resource disappears. There are many ways to save water when dry camping and if you want to avoid running out of water when living off your holding tanks, these water conservation tips will help keep your fresh water tank full longer.

1. Invest in a Water-Saving RV Shower Nozzle

The best RV shower in my experience is the Oxygenics Body Spa. The nozzle is the most ideal, single dry camping investment we’ve ever made. It helps save water when dry camping because of its unique design. It literally boosts the size of water droplets flowing through the device. As a result, you get a wider spray pattern that helps you lather and rinse faster. It also has a “SmartPause feature, enabling you turn turn the flow of water off while soaping up. I’ve had mine for over two years and it’s solid as ever.

2. Recycle RV Gray Water

Many RVers will tell you they save water when dry camping by recycling gray water. They save nightly dish washing water in a container and re-use for toilet flushing. I tried it a few times and found this method can be smelly and gross. My recommendation is don’t handle that bowl of bacteria¸. rv gray water recycling can be done instead with the Extend Your Stay Tank Saver Kit.
The kit lets you divert filtered gray water from the holding tank into your toilet. Afterward it goes into your black tank and you never touch it. The system is ideal for RVers with gray and black water tanks that have the same holding capacities (otherwise smaller black water tanks will fill up prematurely). Ultimately, you save fresh water because you’ll only consume it while cooking and showering.

3. Stock up on Paper Products

Eco-minded RVers find that RV dry camping is a trade off. Water can be used to rinse reusable dishes – or for more important things like cooking. Unfortunately, when you try to save water when dry camping one of the best ways to do that is to eat off paper plates and pre-wash cooking implements with paper towels. Also, you can burn them in a campfire and avoid sending it to the landfill.
