On your island I would suggest a free standing NSF open wire rack island. I bought mine from the thrift store, but they are also sold thru Lowes. And you can add wheels to the bottom of each leg later (2 wheels lock). Later on I enclosed the island with spice racks and a back to hide all the storage.

Don’t put too much more into that rig. Kids grow really fast. And you guys will need a much bigger rig. Probably a mid bunk with a loft would be ideal. Nice job on the remodel though.

Rachel Rangel, typically we stay in one spot for about 3 weeks. However, we have been stationary for about three months because I’m on military orders. You are correct...most RV shops are swamped with work so it can take a long time to get repairs completed. Our rig (knock on wood) has never been in the shop. I handle most of the repairs. We have used a mobile RV technician once. If you buy a brand new rig, you may have to send it back to the shop once or twice. If you buy used, most of the kinks have already been worked out. As soon as we finish up here, we will be heading up the west coast.

Our RV was purchased 4 years old so we saved on the depreciation over purchasing new. Unlike a house, renovating an RV usually does not add any value. It’s just preference. Our RV is 43 feet long. With the size of our slide outs, it makes our square footage 389 sq.ft. It’s also 13’6” tall which is pretty standard for toyhaulers and larger fifth wheels. Hope this helps answer your questions. Thanks for watching!

Hey there! We bought our rig 4 years old so it had already depreciated and saved us A TON over buying new. And we have kept our renovation costs pretty low since most of what we have done is just paint, home made curtains, and wallpaper. Cost for parking varies greatly since we are not stationary. We can pay $0 for boondocking or a Thousand Trails site (we have a membership with them) OR we could pay $900+ a month at a campground...we never do that though. We try to save where we can and parking is probably where we save the most!
