Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
If you haven't heard of Evert-Fresh Green Bags, they are a reusable storage bag for fruits and vegetables that will extend the life of your produce by 3 to 10 times longer. And they really work! When planning as a current "wannabe" for our FTRVing, I originally thought that the Green Bags would not be that essential since we would be buying fresh produce and not storing a lot. But after some thought, I decided that they still would be useful since it will save money on extending the storage life of your produce and may cut down on shopping trips while on the road. They come in 3 sizes and are re-usable. The bags absorb the gases that the vegetables release that would otherwise accelerate the aging of the produce.
The only product that I do not store is bananas, while they do indeed extend the life of your "ordinary banana", I personally think the banana taste changes.
While the bags may seem a little pricey ($4.25, $5.25 and $8.25) for the 3 sizes and you will get 10 bags each. It really saves on the produce that you would otherwise be throwing out. At least it works that way for us. Just a thought on saving you some money.

I have been using refrigerator bags for years-------I have not used the "green bags" but I make my own. They last for a long time and you can just throw them in the washer when needed. I had thought about making to sell when I go on the road.....
We ordered these after reading the postings......my DH was quite the skeptic...but we both have to say......"WOW". They work plus we found them even cheaper on Amazon
For those of you who have not found the Green Bags for fruits & vegatables. I found them at Bed, Bath & Beyond. 20 bags, ( 10 med. & 10 large ) for $9.99. I've used them for bananas, green peppers & tomatoes so far. I am very pleased with the bags. Hope this info. is useful. See you at the Rally.
