PHOTO POSTCARDS

My mom isn’t on any social media, so I found an iPhone app called Ink Cards that will print and mail a 5″ x 7″ laminated photo card to any location in the U.S. via First Class Mail. (I originally used PhotoCard, but they no longer mail the cards.)




To create the photo collage I use the PicFrame app for iPhone because it has the option to change the ratio to 3:2 which works best for the photo cards. Click here to see the Photo Postcards we’ve sent.

Mattress Insider Custom RV Mattress

In 2018 we ordered a custom 8″ luxury gel foam mattress from Mattress Insider along with a custom mattress cover, sheet set, and an aire-flow moisture barrier that sits beneath the mattress. We love the mattress –it’s as comfortable and supportive as the one in our house! Use our link to save 5% on any product. 

RV Trip Wizard

I use this to plan our RV trips, both on my laptop computer, and on an iPhone app. It allows you to input how many hours or miles you want to travel per day, then draws a radius from your starting point and has places to stay selected from your preferences. There are numerous options and customizations. You can save the trip to your GPS or Google Map.

Quake Hold Museum Putty

We use this putty to hold items in place all over the inside of the RV. Janet’s CPAP machine over the bed, our kitchen containers, the lamp and pencil holder on the table, and decorations on the shelf above the cab. The trick is to roll the putty into a small ball and place it on the object with a twist. Use several small putty balls on the bottom of the item, and then twist the item just a bit when pushing it down into place. Twist to remove, too.
