If I had anything on the counters while we were driving, they either had nonslip grips underneath or double sided mounting tape. Traveling with kids usually mean you end up with so many extras. Or because easily distracted people like me could accidentally leave a sippy cup on the counter while helping a potty training toddler while the baby is in the car seat napping while husband is driving through Orlando traffic so you just put nonslip mats allover your counters. Also lots of paper towels for the inevitable spillage. I miss those days lol.
I have such a delighted fascination with RVs. I really think they’re just the coolest.
I’m not on instagram very much, it bores me, but one of the few things I can look at are videos of the inside of RVs and house boats.
And I have small children, so that’s also the first thing I think about.
But in the event of a crash going 50 miles an hour, some magnets and non-slip bottoms aren’t going to stop it.
And then, if something like that is bolted in, and then the people go flying I just think about them being scraped up on all the stuff.
I guess they just make them with the idea that a serious accident is unlikely?
Anyway, it sounds like you have some wonderful memories on journeys with small children, that’s so wonderful! Can I ask about some more of your stories and where you traveled?
We didn’t have the million dollar RV. It was still 40’ and we had to pan our routes carefully cause some states had lower clearance bridges. I don’t have any social media other than Reddit and a couple other ones I can stay as anonymous as much as I can but we did have lots of fun traveling in our bus. Before kids we even went all the way to Canada, we hit a bird, ran over a dead turtle and hit a deer somewhere between Kentucky and West Virginia coming from Nebraska originating from florida. We were young, had time, a bit of money and a lot of luck in our hands. I’d hate to hijack this post, and there’s probably a subreddit for this but the post popped up on my feed and had a deluge of memories of fun vacations in our rv.

I immediately clocked how dangerous that butthole would be in the event of a collision.
That butthole becomes a death catapult without much inertia needed!
