As fulltimers, we, too, have found that stowage is an ever evolving experience. We haven't been in the new unit long enough to get everything in its right place. As others have said, the "stuff" keeps changing. We are always thinking of ways to get things to be smaller, lighter, multi-purpose, etc.

An example of multi-purpose is a handy sized 10-in-1 screw driver from Klein. I think they were $10.00 or less. I carry one in the truck and one in the kitchen utility drawer. For tips, it has standard, Phillips, star, and square (Robinson, typical in the RV) plus a couple of common nut drivers. This is always the first tool I grab when repairs are needed. Many times it is all I need.

Swapping stuff we thought we wanted for things we needed is on going. We started out with our fine china. We determined that it was entirely too heavy and bought the light weight Corelle and one of the kids got an early inheritance.

For us, part of the fun of full timing is the challenge of figuring it all out.
