I love kitchen gadgets! So, how do I downsize for the RV and the future (dream) park model on a lake?

I started downsizing by utilizing a 30″ high standard cabinet height that is 72 inches long. I put everything I want to take for kitchen use in our future RV in it. But I couldn’t fit a couple of things, more like 1/2 dozen things — and I even stacked items within items — and those empty spaces, not really, just not washed yet…

Doesn’t look like 2.5 feet by 6 feet of stuff in these little pictures, but it is.

I know, I know! What is the chance I am going to even have close to that much room in a kitchen – or even in the entire little RV? But at least it is a start! And we will be cooking more in an RV — honest! In fact, we will be cooking more in the next few months!

Stop laughing and shaking your heads, please!

At the same time I put other items on a large table to pack for our future park model. No, I am not re-buying them. We had to re-buy almost everything except kitchen items when we moved from Florida out to Washington. Granted, there is not a LOT of room in a 399 square foot park model either, but if we get one with a loft I can put a cabinet up there for the infrequently used items.

And, contrary to popular opinion of my abilities to let go of kitchen stuff, there is a rather large area on the table of things to let go of…. including my Campbell Soup logo plates, bowls, and cups, though if there is room in the storage, they might get a reprieve.

So, we don’t know yet what RV we are going to buy, even after 8 RV shows in 2.5 years! We are somewhat at the mercy of what comes up cheap enough and close enough. So, how much more will I have to pare down?
