Living in an RV

Now that I've made a start I'll post about living in a 5th wheel trailer (5'er).  I like it.  Really I do.  Todays RVs are nice, especially if you are looking at the models set up for couples and/or full-timing.  Travel trailers and motorhomes come with furniture, TVs, stereo system, DVD player, microwave, stove/oven, refrigerator and the majority have indoor plumbing, AC and a furnace!  Pretty much move in ready just bring your food, dishes, pots/pans, linens and toiletries. 
Our particular 5'er is a Big Country 3650rl manufacturer by Heartland RVs.  They make a very nice product and have a large range of trailer types.  We are also members of their Owner's club which is quite active.
When we moved into our 5'er we put all our stuff in storage. It equaled about a 3 bedroom house worth of stuff.  Before we hit the road we went through everything we had in storage and got rid of whatever we couldn't take with us.  Condensing down really makes you take a step back as to what is necessary and what is just taking up space and collecting dust.   Now that we are in a smaller living area we have 1 main question before we buy something.  That question being "Where are we going to store it".  Space is a premium in a trailer, we are fortunate to have a lot of cabinets but it is easy to fall back into the same old habit of buying stuff we don't need.  Plus everything needs to have a "home" in order to pack up and leave.  We can leave a few things out on certain counters as our sudden burst of speed (ha, ha) or sudden stops (happens often) won't affect it.  However anything on the sides of the coach is affected including inside our cabinets.  So we had to come up with ways to protect our dishes and glassware. 
Items such as Felt Liners help to protect our dishes as we are going down the road and are also good for separating pots and pans. Also using shelf liners to keep things from sliding around inside the cabinets.  When the RV is in motion it’s is like a moving earthquake inside the trailer, so we have to protect our breakables.  And just in case anyone is wondering our pets ride in the truck with us not in the trailer.
