In a word, yes. After an almost 2 year stint on the road, I've come to the conclusion that the answer should be no. All that stuff I packed for our journey? Didn't really need it. All those clothes? Didn't use 'em. All the outdoor rv stuff (except for chairs and grill)? Used once or twice.
Leaving clothes, etc in the rv is great if you are going to be using it consistently throughout the year. There is something about wearing clothes that have essentially been in storage for 3 months or longer that doesn't appeal to me. If I did leave them, I'd run them through the dryer before using.
We never leave food. Just kitchen stuff. Taking out the bathroom medicine cabinets allows me to sort through and pare down what's in there. We leave bed linens - just run them through a cycle in the dryer also before using again.
