I just purchased a new to us TT and will be using it as a weekender and a couple long trips a year. My goal is to keep it loaded with clothes and non-perishables. We plan on putting the spices in ziplock bags with silica pouches to keep the moisture out. Will that work? We are wanting to eliminate clumped spices and bugs.

We keep ours in a ziploc bag with no issues.

Mine stay in the containers they were purchased in. Perhaps I'm not visiting places with high humidity.

We keep our rig pretty much stocked and ready to go as well, even stays plugged in year round. We don't bag our spices all that much, just keep the lids tightly closed. We do bag Sweet n Low, Splenda, and sugar packets as a convenience. Clumping is not much of an issue as we predominately camp in the four corner states where humidity is nearly non-existent. We've been lucky and have had no issues with insects, ants, or mice with our current rig over the last 8 years.

I also find normal spice bottles seal acceptably well to generally keep clumping at a minimum, at least with New England weather.For salt, the usual trick is to put several grains of rice in the salt shaker, and it works quite well. Undoubtedly other things besides rice would work equally as well as a desiccant, but rice has the advantages of being non-toxic, safe for food use, and readily available inexpensively.If you're keeping non-perishables in the camper, and even if not, I strongly recommend also having some good mousetraps and checking them fairly frequently.

I'd suggest just taking them in the house and using them in the house before your next RV trip. Spices age if you don't use them continuously. This way you don't have two sets of spices. This way you'll always have fresh spices.
