Downsizing my wardrobe.

So the Shrimp currently lives in a fifth wheel RV. Here’s a picture of the ShrimpHouse.

We downsized from a realhouse a couple years ago. I was stationed out of town and started in a vintage Airstream. When my hubby decided to join me, we got a toyhauler, which was cool for a while, but our needs changed, and we switched over to this bad boy. It’s a Cardinal fifth wheel, and it’s got 3 slideouts. It’s roughly the same square footage inside as my brothers 1 bedroom Sydney apartment. We consider it tiny living, but really, it’s about three times the size of the tiny house that lives where we are parked.

We’re not lacking anything in the RV. It’s got a big living area, nice kitchen, with full size residential fridge, dishwasher, 3 burner gas stove, oven and convection microwave. It’s got an electric fireplace, huge pantry, and lots of closet space. A LOT of closet space.

While we’ve loved living in our RV, we’ve decided to start a new adventure, and it means downsizing even further… Which means getting rid of some of the stuff in my closet, because this girl doesn’t have nearly as much room for clothes. Plus, let’s face it, how many clothes will I wearing on it anyway?

I know it looks big, but that’s just cause I’m so small. She doesn’t look nearly as big once we dropped her in the water. We think our quality of life and adventures are going to grow, but I really need to shrink my outfits. There’s only a tiny amount of hanging lockers, and even less drawers. Good thing I was already planning to design a capsule wardrobe!

So I’m going to start putting up some of my petite clothes on here. There’s a bunch of really nice stuff that I bought for my book tour or other interviews, that I’ve only ever worn once or twice, and I really won’t have use for again. Keep an eye on my instagram @shrimptank and here for my gently used goods.

So, anybody else here live in an RV or on a boat? Let me know in the comments below and tell me how you manage a small wardrobe.
