When you're living the RV life, every little trick and hack can make a world of difference. From cleaning to storage solutions, RV hacks promise to make your travels smoother and more enjoyable. But let's be honest, not all hacks are created equal. Some are pure genius, while others, well, let's just say they belong in the garbage bin. We found a great video from the YouTube channel, and below in the article are the highlights. Make sure to watch the entire video at the bottom of the article to see these hacks in action!
1. The Ultra Cleaning Machine: Toilet Brush Drill Hack
The first hack in the video involves converting a humble toilet brush into a powerful cleaning tool by attaching it to a drill. Sounds like a game-changer, right? Well, not quite. While it initially seemed to blast dirt off car mats with ease, the brush didn't last long. The hollow handle broke, leaving some dirt behind. Maybe it's time to stick with the vacuum like everyone else. This hack was a fail. On the bright side, at least you got a good laugh out of watching the brush disintegrate!
2. Cutting Boards in the Freezer
Next up, the video introduces a hack for handling ice buildup in your RV freezer. The trick is to place cutting boards at the back of the freezer. When ice forms, you simply pull out the boards, and the ice falls off effortlessly. This hack is a definite pass. It’s like magic, but without the wand. Plus, it’s a great excuse to buy more cutting boards. Who knew kitchenware could be so versatile?
3. Dawn Dish Soap and Magic Eraser Mop for Cleaning the Awning
Cleaning the RV awning can be a chore, but the video suggests using Dawn dish soap and a magic eraser mop to make it easier. After applying the soap and scrubbing with the mop, the results were impressive. The awning looked much cleaner. However, a word of caution: using these products can be harsh on certain surfaces. Still, this hack is a pass. Just remember, if you see bubbles floating away, you might have gone a bit overboard with the soap!
4. Organizing Ratchet Straps
Ratchet straps can be a tangled mess, but the video offers three methods to keep them organized. The final method, using a simple velcro strap, is the winner. It’s easy, effective, and doesn’t require remembering any complicated steps. This hack is a pass. Plus, it’s a great way to use up all those velcro straps you’ve been hoarding. Admit it, we all have a drawer full of them.
5. DIY Waterproof Tarp from a Bed Sheet
The final hack is about creating a waterproof tarp from a bed sheet using silicone and Napa. While it sounded promising, the results were less than stellar. The sheet did repel water initially, but when pressure was applied, it soaked through. This hack was a fail. But hey, at least you now have a silicone-infused bed sheet. Maybe it will become the next big thing in waterproof bedding. Or not.
We hope you enjoyed these highlights and got a few laughs along the way. Don’t forget to watch the full video:
