Inside Cassie: Making Our Camper Feel Like Home
When we first brought home Cassie, our Coachmen 274BH, we knew we wanted her to feel more than just a camper. With kids and a dog in tow, “homey and organized” became our mantra. Over time, we’ve found little ways to make Cassie feel like our own cozy getaway — part tiny home, part adventure hub.
A Kitchen That Works for Us
Cooking in a camper can feel cramped, but we’ve set up Cassie’s kitchen to make mealtime easy and enjoyable. A few of our favorite hacks:
Magnetic spice rack on the fridge for easy access without taking up precious counter space.
Stackable bins in the pantry so snacks, dry goods, and kid-favorites all have a home.
Hooks for mugs and utensils, which not only free up drawers but also add a little farmhouse-cute vibe.
Collapsible bowls and measuring cups, which save a ton of storage space.
The result? A kitchen that feels functional but still cozy enough to make pancakes on a Sunday morning or prep s’mores kits for the fire pit.
Bathroom Bliss (Yes, Really!)
It may be the smallest space in Cassie, but keeping the bathroom organized has been a game-changer:
Over-the-door organizer for toiletries — everyone has their own pocket, so there’s no arguing over toothbrushes.
Rolling towels instead of folding keeps them compact and easy to grab.
Little baskets under the sink to corral sunscreen, bug spray, and first-aid supplies.
It’s amazing how a few storage tweaks can turn a tiny bathroom into a space that actually works for a family.
Cozy Decor Touches
Beyond organization, we wanted Cassie to feel like a retreat. Some of the touches that make her feel warm and inviting:
Throw blankets and soft pillows on the bunks and main bed for instant comfort.
Removable wallpaper in a couple of spots to brighten the space and make it feel less “RV beige.”
Battery-operated candles and fairy lights that give evenings a soft, cozy glow without needing to flip on harsh overhead lights.
A small rug by the door to make it feel more like a living room (and catch all the dirt the kids track in).
Our Takeaway
Inside Cassie, every inch counts. By keeping things organized and adding a few cozy details, we’ve created a space that feels less like “roughing it” and more like an adventure-ready home. It’s the little touches — a tidy bathroom, a well-stocked kitchen, a warm glow at night — that make Cassie the perfect launchpad for family memories.
