Perfect fit

We have surrendered to the glamping trend.  🤔😂. Actually, we found out that laundry was going to cost us a small fortune (up to $12 to wash and $1/min dry - per load!), so we invested in a mini washing machine and drying rack for the camper.  The machine will pay for itself in just 10 loads!  With a family our size, we will have made up the difference in one week.  I tried it out tonight and was very impressed with how dry the cotton clothes were after only one minute in the spinner.

Look how perfectly it fits in the shower stall!  It is light enough that most of the children can move it out of the way for showers.

There is a vent and skylight in the bathroom, so those got Reflectix as well.  These are kept in place by Velcro.


One last addition to the bathroom, which is a complete luxury item is a small sheepskin rug from IKEA.  



We decided that one microfiber blanket per bed might not be enough in northern Canada and the Yukon, but is probably fine for the majority of our trip.  Taking comforters is bulky, but since much of the pantry food will be stored in the back of our SUV, most of the comforters fit in the space I usually use for pantry food.  Except for one, which I bungee corded out of the way.


Another IKEA find was this mesh pop up hamper,  we are using it for shoes.  We usually keep them outside, but can easily shake any dirt off and bring them in if it is going to rain or for transit.

I haven't delved too much into the kitchen, but this little k-cup coffee maker is the perfect size for the camper, fits a good sized travel mug, and is perfect when we have power hookups or the generator running.  This is one that we bought a couple years ago for our first big cross country road trip.
