Can you give me tips for adapting to living in a smaller space?
I need decorating ideas and storage tips for living in a 5th wheel. It's new to me, and moving from a 2 bedroom 900 sq foot home to about 150 sq feet is a shocker lol

You will probably have to downsize your stuff first. Donate/trash/ and keep piles are very helpful when doing this. You will probably need bags or bins to organize the things you are keeping and store some of it if you can. I would use smaller clear plastic bins in my closets for organization. Good luck in your new home.
