Couple annoyances you may know how to solve

Water pressure: I use a water pressure limiter and in most campgrounds the water pressure is lower than what I get with the pump. Should I just fill my fresh water tank and use the pump or risk not using the limiter? I also use an inline water filter.

Objects moving in fridge, pantry and medicine cabinet. We just got bars for the fridge. We are trying to put things tight together in the pantry. The medicine cabinet seems hopeless. Why build a trailer with a 1/2" lip on the cabinet shelves?

Campgrounds dryers. They are slow, do not try well enough in a single cycle and last time our clothing got stains on it after the wash while in the dryer!

Firewood. Campground firewood is expensive. We are not allowed to travel with firewood and it's not always easy to find some cheaper on the side of the road.

  • If you are using one of those cheap water pressure regulators throw it away as they are actually just water restrictors. Purchase a Watts 263A-LF which is adjustable and has a pressure gauge on it. It will flow 4 to 4.5 gal per minute. I set mine for 55 pounds. Works great but not cheap.
  • Water pressure: if it's annoyingly weak, I'd fill the tank and use the water pump.

    Stuff sliding around:
    We have several plastic baskets for the fridge. I glued two strips of non-skid shelf liner to the bottom of each one so they stay put. I also lined the shelves in the door with it to keep condiments and beverages in place.
    Cutlery trays and a few small boxes keep our medicine cabinets organized and orderly. Of course, non-skid liner goes on each shelf.

    When I saw that thread title I thought you were looking for relationship guidance...never mind!
  • We use the cardboard flats that these new power drinks come in for our fridge. About 6x8 inches and 3-4" tall that keeps stuff from tipping out. We have a couple of these boxes on each of the 2 bottom shelves. We also use them on all of our pantry shelves, that way if we can't see what's in the box we can just lift it out into the light. Haven't lost anything off of the pantry shelves since we went to these boxes. If you find the right ones they fit right up to the lip on the shelf in a nice snug fit.
