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!!

There may be something here about this, but I haven't found it.  How do you fulltimers store potatoes in your RV?  My wife doesn't like to store them in the fridge.

Before we had a fridge (our first RV didn't), we just stored them in a basket with other slower-perishable produce. How long they would last had a lot to do with the climate we were in.

Now that we have a RV with an ample sized fridge, we keep them in a drawer in there. I prefer not worrying as much about the climate, or having potatoes rolling around while underway.

Cheri, did you not worry about critters (large or small) getting to them?

we keep ours in a plastic container just large enough to hold a 5lb bag.  We haven't had any trouble with critters out here in the oilfields of Texas, although I here others have.  We keep the container on the top shelf under the sink.  It just fits between the sink and the cupboard door.

I'm a big potato eater, so they don't usually stick around long enough to go bad.

Sure.. we worried about it, and dealt with it as it happened. As we were in a small 16' T@b trailer (clamshell), the kitchen was out the back. We didn't have much room at all, and couldn't store more than a week's worth of produce anyway.
