Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Kids toys


Living FT in a limited space and needing to stay "portable" how do you condense your kids toys and hobbies.  I have an 18 month old and just his highchair which is a small portable version and the playpen that he sleeps in takes up a lot of room.  And I have to carry 3 times the amount of clothes for him than us.  Lets not mention his diapers, wipes, and sippy cups...all the extras.  So his toys right now get shoved in a basket but I know when he gets older, his toys get bigger.  How do other families do it when they are full-timing?

We're not full timing yet, but soon to be! We have a 2 year old that we'll be taking with us. Our couch has a pull out drawer under it and we plan to utilize that as a toy box.

Well, jbarrett, i have suggest that  you should buy some teaching toys for your two years kids. So, for this purpose, you can now easily get any type of toys online. You will find a great variety of toys at etoys promo code and also you get the best discounts and coupons on buying toys over the internet.

 We don't have any two legged kids with us fulltime however our dog really creates some of the same challenges and he IS our kid LOL. And all I can add is you will get used to it. Our dog has a toy box and a bed that is on the floor by the couch. And he drags toys out and leaves them lay around sometimes worse than a kid does I think because there is no hope of him putting them back. I'm a clutter nut so it really bothered me at first, and it still does to a certain point but you get used to it.  

 And his stuff compared to a kids stuff,,, well it takes up space,, we simply created a place for his food, cleaning supplies, bowls, ect. and it's his space. Just think it out. It can work.

Kids love to play with the empty boxes the toys come in.....

If they only have two toys they will be content with two toys. Campgrounds offer a wide variety of activities to keep little ones occupied. Most have some sort of playground, arcade, kids activities, water sports...and more. Sticks and stones can be used to build forts, minature cabins, boats...etc. Use nature to challenge their imagination. Give em a shovel, they will find a way to occupy their time. My brother and I once built a minature golf course at a campground in the mountains during an easter week trip. We had 5 holes with rocks and sticks plus other junk for obstacles. The putters were made out of branches and we used a couple of rubber balls to hit.

There are lots of little hidden cubby holes in RVs. For example in our fifth wheel we discovered a large empty space behind a closet wall. I cut an opening into the wall, added a door and now we have a space to hide extra bedding and linens. Another space we found was in the step leading up to the bedroom. I took the step off and added hinges, now it's where we store flashlights and flares. It still works as a step.

Look for these un-used spaces or areas where you can add a cabinet for storage. We recently added a 4ft tall, 15 inch wide cabinet we bought at a garage sale next to the entry door. We use this to store extra can goods.
