Neat freak corner...

If you are a neat freak, RV'ing can send you over the edge.

If you are a closeted neat freak, RV'ing will blow your cover and send you screaming at the top of your lungs "I am a neat freak and !! I can not hide it anymore !!"

Luckily, there is help.
RV stores, have a Neat Freak isle, but since Neat Freak, is not a politically correct term, the isle is marked as "Tie-Downs & Straps".

These tie-downs and straps are not to tie down and strap a neat freak, although, this is a tempting idea. No, these tie downs are to arrange and put things in order.

After weeks of fighting with our water hoses, electrical cables and TV cables, I decided to put some order in the hook-ups trunk of our trailer.

This water hose "carrier/organizer" has been very ineffective.



The same hose under submission thanks these cool mini-bungees


Now lets move to the TV cable...

Ugh! look at that mess. Those bread-twisters are as effective as US Congress.



Now, if only we could elect a mini-bungee for Congress...things would get fixed like this!



In your next elections, vote for Mini-Bungee. A candidate that knows how to put things in order
(Ad paid by the Coalition of Mini Bungees for Equal Rights and Neat Freaks for a better America)



Now, lets move on to another neat freak concern: Dirt and mud inside the trailer.
Our trailer steps are covered with a rough carpet like material that we use to wipe our shoes before entering. But in messy weather, this is not nearly enough. So I got this shoe scrubber that broke in the first week. I duct-taped-repaired it, in trailer-trash fashion, but the piece of crap kept falling apart.


Broken promises of cleaner soles...and, no, not made in China. Made in USA.


Lets see if this new unit fares better.

Now lets move on to fulfilled dreams....


Finally I got a Water Bandit! Sweeeeet!

Ha!Ha! You make us laugh! Good stuff. I don't know if I am a neat freak but I did notice how dirty the floor got after one day camping and immediately decided I MUST bring a broom next time...don't know if that's the beginning of blowing my cover...we shall see.
