How do you Prefer to Keep Your Clothes Clean While Living in a Camper Van?
Dirty clothes can pile up fast, if you let them.
Washing clothes can be a hassle for some people who live in a van, especially if they don't have access to a regular washing machine. Some state or RV parks provide a washeteria for park guests.
If you don’t mind spending the money, then this is ideal to wash your clothes.
But often times, we aren’t near a washeteria, so it’s easy to manage by washing by hand or investing in a small portable washing machine.
Small portable washing machines
I found these washing machines on Amazon. They ranged in price for $59 to $89.
Some people may prefer to wash their clothes by hand and hang them up to dry, as they find it more convenient and satisfying.
The above washing machines require no electricity. I like that idea. They are small in size and easy to store away. It’s important to be well organized living in small spaces like in a camper van.
You may want to consider how many clothes that you want to carry in your camper van? Do you really need 10 pairs of shoes or 20 outfits to wear? Remember keeping it simple is rewarding. Less clutter, and less washing to do.
Writing Tips
Lately, I've run across people who tell me they want to write a book about their life story. Do they know where to begin? Do they know about structure and plotting a book?
I wonder if they realize how hard it is to write a memoir that is engaging and compelling. It's not enough to just tell what happened in your life. You have to show how you changed and grew as a person, how you overcame challenges and learned from mistakes, how you discovered your purpose and passion.
You have to craft a story arc that hooks the reader and keeps them interested until the end.
Writing a book about your life story is not impossible, but it requires a lot of work and skill. You have to research your own past, interview people who knew you, find the themes and messages that you want to convey, and edit and revise your manuscript until it shines.
If you are serious about writing a book about your life story, you should start by reading some successful memoirs and learning from them. You should also join a writing group or take a course where you can get feedback and guidance from other writers.
And most importantly, you should write every day, even if it's just a few sentences. Writing is a habit that you have to cultivate and practice.
Writing a book about your life story can be rewarding and fulfilling, but it's not easy. It takes courage, persistence, and creativity. Do you have what it takes?
