Unfortunately, the planning phase is where many of your problems can start. Disorganized camping gear is the quickest way to kill the good vibe of an upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/rv-season\/\">camping trip<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>There&rsquo;s nothing more frustrating than knowing you have something but not being able to find it.<\/em> So, let&rsquo;s start with camping hacks and tips before your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-make-meals-easy-premix-meals-in-plastic-bags\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Make Meals Easy: Premix Meals in Plastic Bags&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>With a little extra prep at home, you can make mealtimes a breeze.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Here&rsquo;s how:&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Measure your dry ingredients<\/strong> into a heavy-duty plastic bag.<em> (Don&rsquo;t use the cheap bags that burst easily.)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Label it <\/strong>with the meal, day. and contents. Add the necessary wet ingredients, including additional baking instructions where applicable.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pack it away with the food,<\/strong> and then when the meal time comes, <strong>add the wet ingredients listed.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skip the bowl and spoon! <strong>Mix it with your hands<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>(Or better! Let the kids squish it up. It&rsquo;s an easy way to get them involved. And kids are more likely to eat what they help cook.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once mixed, you can <strong>clip a corner to fill <\/strong>muffin tins or pour pancakes&ndash;whatever the recipe calls for.

Make a Hand Washing Station with an Old Laundry Soap Container<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless your RV has a sink, it&rsquo;s not always convenient to go inside and wash up. <em>Unfortunately, washing up is a non-negotiable. <\/em>Without it, your kids will track sand and dirt into your RV, so you&rsquo;ll need to scrub those little hands if you don&rsquo;t want dirty fingerprints lingering on your RV&rsquo;s surfaces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the answer isn&rsquo;t always as simple as corralling your kids around the sink. For one, it&rsquo;s annoying when you&rsquo;re trying to get dinner ready, and someone keeps needing water. But handwashing also increases your freshwater usage. And <strong>if you&rsquo;re not hooked up to water at your campsite, then that freshwater tank holds a precious commodity.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By having a separate wash station with a jug that is easy to refill and transport, you&rsquo;re saving the fresh water in your tank for drinking, cooking, etc. It&rsquo;s a lot easier to fill up an old laundry jug<\/strong> than to move your camper and refill your tanks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So reuse those large, clunky liquid laundry soap containers and save your freshwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5-make-clean-up-easy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Make Clean-Up Easy&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody wants to do the dishes at home &ndash;<em> even though you have a dishwasher to do the hard work for you.<\/em> And the chore doesn&rsquo;t get easier when camping. <em>(Unless you camp like a caveman and don&rsquo;t use any dishes.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Here&rsquo;s how to make doing the dishes easy:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t use a ton of dishes<\/strong> to prepare food.<em> If you&rsquo;re using Ziplock bags like I recommended, you&rsquo;re already halfway there.&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/best-rv-grill\/\"><strong>grill<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong>not a pan, to cook in.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan meals that don&rsquo;t even need dinnerware<\/strong>, such as hotdogs, kabobs, eggs in a bag, or oatmeal in a pouch.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a dunk station so everyone washes their own dishes.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dunk station method requires a mesh bag that fits your dishes. In total, you should have around <strong>three to four stations<\/strong>. After you wipe all of the food off your plate and throw it in the trash, you dunk your dishes into the mesh bags at<strong> the different stations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hot water (like boiling hot)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soapy water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rinse water (still hot)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bleach water (optional to kill <em>all <\/em>the germs.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hang them on the line to dry,<\/strong> and <em>poof,<\/em> clean up is no longer difficult because everyone only does one set of dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"6-use-silicone-baking-cups-to-steam-bake\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Use Silicone Baking Cups to Steam Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of our favorite breakfasts is Biscuits and Gravy. <strong>But baking&mdash;even with an RV oven&mdash;is a tricky proposition. Whether you&rsquo;re using a Dutch oven, box oven, or propane oven,<\/strong> all of them involve a heavy dose of guesswork <strong>and<\/strong> suffer from uneven heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Personally, I was tired of burnt-bottomed biscuits!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enter the silicone baking cup and the Steam Bake Method. <\/strong><em>(This is nothing new. It&rsquo;s been used in Asian cuisine for thousands of years.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Here&rsquo;s how the Steam Bake Method works:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Using a pot with a <em>tight-fitting lid<\/em>, <strong>set an inch of water to simmer<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, <strong>mix your dough<\/strong> together and <strong>fill your silicone baking cups.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the water is simmering &ndash; <em>not boiling<\/em>, gently <strong>place the silicone cups in your pot<\/strong> and<strong> seal the lid.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wait for the prescribed baking time<\/strong>, then remove the lid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Your biscuits will be light, fluffy, and perfectly moist.<\/strong> I&rsquo;ve <em>never <\/em>burned biscuits using the steam method. Even better, there&rsquo;s no box oven to set up or a Dutch oven to clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Super simple.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"7-make-starting-your-campfire-easy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.
