- I am super excited about this video because today we are going to show you products for RV storage and organization from Ikea. So let's head in and see what new things they have today. We're Charity, Ben, Dakota and Trinity. We decided we didn't want to wait for a life of adventure. So in 2017, we bought our first RV and set off to live a life of travel in the USA. We've visited over 38 States in three years and have many more to go. Follow along, to learn all the best places to see, RV and travel tips and much more. So you probably know that Ikea is totally known for small living and tiny space living, which makes it perfect to be able to shop for things for RV life and for camper life. So we have done a video before about products from Ikea and you can check that out up here but we've heard that they've got some new things. So we wanted to pop in and check those out and share with you guys how you can revolutionize your RV storage and organize with products from Ikea. (upbeat music) So one of the products that I absolutely love from Ikea are these big blue bags. Now, the reason I love these for RV life is because when you are packing or when you're doing anything that requires carrying a lot of items in and out of the RV, aka grocery shopping, I love taking these along instead because you can fit a ton of this. And it reduces the amount of trips from your car to the inside of the RV and all of that kind of stuff. Plus, hello beach, anything, or going down to the swimming pool at the campground, these bags come in so handy. And so I always find that I want to pick up an extra couple of these when I stopped by Ikea and they're super cheap. They're only like a buck. So first find for RV life from Ikea. (upbeat music) So this is a super cool new find from Ikea, these parklas. So this is only a dollar 99 but this is actually like a zippered storage bag. So you know how in most RVs you've got things that you store underneath of the bed or other types of compartments. And usually those things end up being things like blankets or winter coats or sweaters. This, you guys, is perfect for that because it is just kind of like a collapsible bag, but it has a zipper. So this new parkla, for only a dollar 99 from Ikea is great for RV storage and organization. (upbeat music) So one thing a lot of people don't realize is that Ikea furniture actually will fit in a lot of RVs and campers. You do just need to do some measurements but the nice thing is, all of the Ikea furniture when you shop here has the measurements on the price tags. So you can come in here with the measurements for your specific rig and very easily figure out if one of these couches or chairs will replace that uncomfortable factory couch that you have in your current RV. (upbeat music) So one thing that's great for RV storage and organization are these kallax units. Now we have talked to so many full-time families and this is the unit that they end up putting in their RV to store, especially kids things. So when you're downsizing from a house and you're trying to figure out how this is all going to fit in your RV or your camper, this is a great option to be able to use. And then each kiddo can maybe have their own individual bin. And so that is their bin for toys, books, things like that, that aren't clothing but the things they just feel are necessary to have in life. We do something very similar for storage in our RV where each kiddo gets one bin and then that's all that they can bring with us is what's going to fit in that bin. So it's a great way to also help kids down size as well as organize that RV and camper space. (upbeat music) So here's a product for RV life from Ikea that you might have not thought about and that is these induction cook tops. Now the nice thing about these induction cook tops versus using the propane stove tops is number one, you're not using your propane. Number two, these induction stove tops will not put out heat like the propane stove does. So one thing I've done is I've switched to using my instant pot more for things like sauteing things, or, you know cooking up ground beef with these induction cook tops, great option for all of those things that you want to do like scrambled eggs or bacon or pancakes because they don't put out the same amount of heat and they're small and compact. So score for Ikea for this, for RV life. (upbeat music) So no trip to Ikea when talking about RV life would be complete without talking about bins. Now, I love that they have different size bins. These particular sized bins, I actually use these in my refrigerator to be able to keep things from shifting around in our refrigerator on travel days. The larger ones we actually find fit very well in the overhead cabinets of our RV. So other things like electric cords or whatever else just needs organizing, that you want to put in the overhead compartments or if you have larger type cupboards, we find that these larger ones work great. So I have a ton of these types of bins in our raid right now that we use for storage and organization but definitely score for Ikea on the bins. They have all sorts of shapes and sizes and you'll be able to find the size you need here. (upbeat music) So this kungsfors. I think when you come to Ikea, you just have to say all the things 'cause it's so fun to say kungsfors. But these like mesh baskets, we love for RV life. Because what we do is we'll put different things in these but also like for the kids. So like books or stuffed animals or anything but that way these can hang on hooks. We've got hooks everywhere. If you check out some of our other organization videos, we'll throw some of those right up here, you'll see that hooks are a total theme throughout our RV. But anything like this with some handles you can put all sorts of things in here and then just hang it up. Totally saving space. So this is definitely another must have from Ikea. (upbeat music) So these are new. And whenever something's new, Ikea has these little orange tags that say new but this is really interesting if you, I don't know if you need to send out a distress call maybe. You've got your Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Julia, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu, all right here with your Morse code too. So if you, you know, you need to send out a distress call or something like that, but this one is actually pretty cool because this one is the map of the United States. And we all know how we love our US map. I've seen actually our friends over at five to go have this in their rig. And they've been putting pins in it for all of the different States that they've been visiting. So this is great for those of us who have that goal to visit all 50 States in our RV. I'm not sure how I feel right now about this Nick's halt because I feel like it was a DIY gone wrong. Like somebody took a bamboo trashcan and flipped it upside down with a light, like and called it furniture. Why would you put a light on the floor? I just don't understand the concept behind this. All right. Djungleskog. It's not a jungle dog, it's a Djungleskog. It looks like, you remember that movie, life of PI, that this is like psycho tiger or something. Look at his eyes, just so weird. And then, Oh my God, this is like surprised Panda. Does this look like surprised Panda to you? It shouldn't be the Djungleskog, it should be some nail Panda. 'Cause that's what this is, some nail Panda. And then we have, I don't even know what's going on with this lion right now. When our eyes upside down triangles, that's just interesting there. And then we have psycho monkey in the Djungleskog bin. Yeah. It's pretty nightmare stuff here, folks. I don't even feel like I can say this. Could Ikea have not come up with a better name for children's toys than this? I just found your starter composting toilet. So here you guys go, if you need to, you know start them young, here's your starter composting toilet right there you go. (upbeat music) We go this way, okay. (upbeat music) So here's another cool find. This bladdrare Or maybe it's a rare blad, I don't know which is it, but these types of hanging organizers work so great in RV closets. And the one thing I like about this one is it's not very long. Like I've gotten a few for our RV closet and they're so long that they actually drag on the closet floor, but this one's kind of short. And I like that it's got some different divider type spaces and then it's got the pockets on the side and it's only 14,99. So that's pretty inexpensive. The other thing I like about this one is the Velcro at the top versus having like the hooks that you have to hang over because with this Velcro, it just makes it a little bit more versatile regarding what type of rod or whatever you want to kind of throw it over the top of. So here's a great find for your RV storage and organization. (upbeat music) If you've watched some of our other videos and we'll put a link up here, our recent video on products for RV life, but nano tape, my new best friend, you could definitely put some nano tape on this and just nano tape this to the wall in your rig. And it's got like a little drain thing. So like for toothbrushes or things there you don't want it sitting in a cup because of moisture. (upbeat music) So here's something I love about Ikea for RV life. And that is their rugs. We really like having some rugs in our RV now that we have renovated it. And if you'd like to see more about the renovation you can just click right up here and check out that series. But I still like having a rug that I can take out and shake out or when it gets nasty enough, just pitch it and start over with a new rug. These are only $30. And so this is super inexpensive to be able to just pick up a new rug and lay it down. And when it just gets to the point where it's just not really able to be cleaned very easily anymore with a vacuum or by shaking it out, just get a new one. So 30 bucks, can't go wrong. (upbeat music) So these are some great products. I am all about anything for RV life that is collapsible. It's springy, look. Anyway, these types of things that are collapsible for RV life are great because this would work well for just laundry or blankets. Anything that you would need for that at all. And then the other types of things they have like this is super handy for same kind of use, folds up when you're not using it or even these types of laundry bins. These obviously fold down when you're not using them too 'cause they're just kind of a sturdy fabric. So lots of options at Ikea. for things that will fold down. Stay, stay. This is the klunka. It's the klunka. Lots of options for things that will fold down and stay out of the way for not in use which is essential when you're living RV life.
