How can I safely store linens

[bluebarry1964b]

I would like to keep our bedding, towels, etc, with the RV when it's in an outdoor storage yard. However, I'm worried about critters, stale smell, etc, getting into the linens. I thought about vacuum bags, but they never seem to stay sealed after a few months. Has anybody successfully stowed linens in an RV that is not heated/ air conditioned for months at a time?

I have 3 French Maids, you can imagine the rest!! WE spring clean with Clorox spray, hate dryer sheets, bad for environment along with sweeper sheets, mopping sheets.

Do ghosts sheets get dirty?

Same with us. I used to carry an extra set of sheets, but find it to be unnecessary. We either wash during the trip, when a long one, and put them back on, or for short trips, wash when we get home. As for towels, no problem with odor.

Great advice, as always guys, thanks!! I'll put dryer sheets in several areas of the MH to keep the air inside smelling nice. Because we're in S.Florida, I think I'd better not leave the linen loose because of the humidity. However, I'll try the Home Depot vacuum bags and see how I make out. It sure will save hauling a lot of "stuff" back and forth from the house to the MH every time we want to go out for a few days. Thanks again!

You guys are just doing it all wrong. When you buy a Liberty, there is a button on the i-pad that says 'Laundress'.... you hit that button and it brings you to another screen {bedroom, bathroom or kitchen}... hit the appropriate button and a service person appears to take care of all the coach needs.

You do not require any vacuum bags..... the 'black-tie' dressed service person will cater to any need that the coach requires. Fresh linens, bathroom towels or kitchen towels are delivered at the touch of a button.

We can all dream can't we!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!

You can still use the vacuum bags. Even though they may lose their vacuum, they'll still protect your linens. We use to keep extra linen stored in our previous coach for the guest bed. We used the vacuum bags for them and they still kept them sealed.

Outside storage, no problems here.

Same as polly sue no problems , indoor storage for us though!

Kept mine in the overhead cupboards over the window. Also kept table linens in that spot. No odor or problems while the MH was stored. Left/leave blankets and comforter on the bed.

"...mice and fresh..." Funny! Was that a Freudian slip?
