Do you have a handy hint, a new product or an old product that makes your RVing or Camping much better?
(Sorry, no commercial advertising allowed)
I'll start:
Someone in the Camping Van posted a reference to using a Super-Chamois to wipe down their shower. I have been using an icky old thick sponge and I like the chamois idea so much more.
Now I want to hear what works for you

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.
Remember; never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Shower Soap. Save those almost useless slivers of bar soap from stick house for camping. If there is anything left just throw away of leave for next camper.
That's disgusting... I'm so glad I use the shower in my own camper. I do not miss the showers at CG's that's for sure. Here's a better tip for you. Use a new bar and buy a soap holder and take it all with you when you leave.

After our first long trip where the corners of our fitted sheet kept popping off up by our heads, I decided two things: First, I needed new deeper sheets as I was repurposing old sheets from who knows when and the fitted sheet wasn't as deep as modern sheets. Second, I decided to use the new fitted sheet as a sort of secondary mattress pad.
I put the mattress pad on, then the fitted sheet, and used the top sheet like making a hospital bed (i.e. tucked it around the sides so we will sleep ON it, not UNDER it. We have a different (extra from the house) top sheet that will be used instead. Now to wash the sheets I only have to strip the "hospital" sheet layer, which is much easier to get on and off, and I can deal with the fitted sheet with the same frequency as the mattress pad - less often.
We love our corner bed, and I think this is going to help us love it even more!

Does the handle easily come apart for storage? I have a small cabinet that I would use to store this but wasn't sure about the handle?
I know the handle came in pieces but I'm not sure if it will come back apart once it's put together, I've never needed to take it back apart. The bottom does fold flat and turn with the handle so it doesn't take up any more room than a broom and one charge will usually last me for a one week camping trip doing a quick sweep every night. The Swivel Sweeper is not a high powered vacuum but it does do a good job of picking up basic crumbs and sand without having to get out a dust pan and it's easy to dump when full.
