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.

Good luck in your new home.
