My Least Favorite Thing About Living in A Motor Home

Life in a motor home isn't for everyone. I think we have a very nice MH and at 39' it's one of the longer ones available. Overall, I don't have any major complaints.

The bathroom and shower are small, but functional. Cooking in the kitchen with limited counter space (especially for an untidy cook like me) can be annoying, but it's do-able. It would be nice to have a residential refrigerator with more space for storage and freezing.

But, none of those things are so bad that I'd trade them for a house.

So, what is the one thing that I like least (and in fact, would go so far as to say I dislike it immensely)?


This.

An under the sink trash can. I think it's 7 gallons, or about half the size of most kitchen garbage cans.

Since we haven't stayed at any campgrounds that recycle (and we aren't so environmentally conscious that we're willing to take our recycling somewhere off site), everything goes into that little trash can.

It doesn't take long for it to fill up. A couple soda bottles, a cereal box and a milk jug and it's full.

Of course, we have large bags in it so I can take it out and continue to put stuff in it, but then it's in the middle of the floor taking up (limited) space.

It's probably an issue that's easily resolved, it's just a matter of finding a place for a larger trash can. Or we could generate less trash.

P.S. Chris is very diligent about taking the trash to the dumpster, so this isn't one of those "he never takes out the trash" complaints.
