While in transit

I want to know if you stock the cabinets with food, clothing and camper supplies while your in transit?
Yes. Clothes in the closet and food in cabinets but small items like spices, etc, my wife puts in tight little bins. The cabinet doors have only opened when we hit some rough roads. I bungee things closed if in doubt.

Do you have your table set up while driving?
I tried in once and it bounced right off. But we're considering a pedestal holding up the table.
 
Do you have your glass light globes on?
Yes, and it has never fallen.

Do you have your propane fridge on? stocked?
We just have a shore power fridge but we unload it into a cooler when traveling.

Do you have your stove grates on?
Our 1500 had clips that held them in place. Groovy. The Forester needs them packed away.

My wife is in charge of getting the inside locked down before we move. She can get ready by the time I have the truck hooked up, hose and electric cord packed away. She's got it down to a science.

Every trailer we have had has been different, but with the single leg tables we have had we usually put them down when moving.
I load my fridge. Freeze stuff before leaving, buy ice when necessary.
I also put my counter stuff into my sink wrapped in tea towels,
I put vintage glassware inside a 6 pack cardboard coke holder. Sometimes I put tennis socks on glassware if it's really special.
I use wine glass racks that I put rubber bands on the end of the rack while moving.
First few times out its good to go a few blocks then check things out. Usually your driveway will dump anything unsecured.

Wow, you travel in style!

We bring hot dogs, Girl Scout cookies and plastic glasses.

This is from a very good friend who is an expert in matters of propane. We met him 20 years ago when we were suing some companies for the accident that got all 5 of us sent to the university of Utah burn unit. He was so touched by our story that after the court case concluded he contacted us to see if there was anything he could help with and we became very close. He's retired now, but I have always followed his advice concerning propane and natural gas.

Not only that but there's no way I'd leave any kind of propane appliances going if I wasn't going to be in the trailer. There's too much of a chance that a fitting could come loose, or other problem as the trailer rattles down the road.

There's probably several hundred thousand rv's on the road as we speak with propane refers on, keeping adult beverages cold for arrival at their destination. Are they all traveling illegally?

Our Norcold 3-way was never wired for 12V operation, and after reading the manual I decided to keep it that way, mainly because of concerns about inadvertently discharging the batteries. The manual says clearly that 12VDC operation is meant only to maintain the temp, NOT to bring it down to working temp. So, supposedly, you can run it on 110VAC or propane to get it cold, then run on 12VDC while travelling...reverting back to 110VAC or propane when stopped for the night. Sounds great as long as you remember to switch off the 12VDC when parked for the night! Obviously if you are boondocking without electrical hook up the only option is propane. If for some reason you forget to switch from !2VDC your batteries will be toast in no time.

In our case we run on propane while travelling, which we do without any problems. There was only one time in 8000 miles that the pilot was blown out, but since there is an automatic shut off for the LP...no problem other than less-than-cold food. Having a (small) freezer available at all times was really nice since we could freeze juice containers to keep our large cooler cold.

Not sure I would have purchased the Norcold(it came with the camper),they are really pricey (almost half of what we paid for the trailer)!

Side note...boats usually have top loading iceboxes,which completely eliminates the problem of "spilling" the cold when opening to get things out. A well insulated top loading box will keep cold with a block of ice for at least a week.

I think you would have to secure things, Cottontail. Wouldn't be too difficult to sew a mesh cover...
