Reflection 337rls – Kelly Kamping & Travels

I have begun to decorate our new 5th wheel to make it a little more ‘homey’. Here are the before photos last month when we purchased.

I learned something about myself with our past two travel trailers (personal preference) .

1) Don’t mix together too many colors. Choose one or two accent colors and this time I chose teal. When living in a confined space (around 400 sq ft), too many colors stress me out. Here’s my teal Keurig, the first inspiration I had to choose this color. Besides teal seems to go with the Pebble interior.

2) Although our Reflection has a good bit of dark wood, I’m trying to coordinate with dark/black & cream.

While so many are painting their RVs in creams and whites (and yes, I’m envious), the supposed resale value goes down. It makes sense to me. When we were shopping for a new RV I looked at a few used units and those with customized paint schemes and drastic decor changes were not for me.

The cream/black print rugs are tucked away in the ottoman since the RV is parked for us to organize and decorate. I love the black & white buffalo plaid accents.

3) Don’t OVER decorate. Again, I found in a tiny space “less is more” is the way to go. Last Winter when we spent 4 months in Florida, I removed several decor items from the walls, and decluttered. I needed a more clean, uncluttered look.

My decorating is a work in progress with things to be hung after I decide where they go. I’ll post photos when I have everything in it’s place which will be in a few weeks before we go to central Florida for the winter.

Thanks for reading. Be safe out there on your travels and free to comment.

Here I am – Reflecting.

I’ve always had some “wanderlust” in my soul. All my life I wanted to travel but never had the means to accomplish my dream. One of the last things my father told me before his death was “get out and travel”, and he regretted they didn’t do more of it.

Since retiring, we’ve dreamed of traveling much of the country and are finally able to do it.

Last week we traveled to Tampa and picked up our Grand Design Reflection 337rls. We narrowed down our choice of recreation vehicles to a 5th wheel and then chose Grand Design because of the excellent Customer Service reviews. Later I will cover more on why we chose a 5th wheel and why Grand Design, but for now I wanted to get this post published.

This is not our first RV. We had a couple of travel trailers and made mostly short trips (three weeks was the longest). We were total newbies to the world of Camping (Glamping is more what we do), and there were mishaps along the way.As in past posts I’ll cover things we wished we had known, things we learned, some DIY hacks for organization (we had almost no storage but now do), planning trips as well as where we went and photos. I’m an amateur photographer and will have LOTS of photos!

I hope you will follow along as we begin this journey!! Adventure awaits !
