A quick blog to talk about food storage…I know boring! But, traveling long term in a small vehicle that isn’t air tight, or water tight for that matter, food storage is actually really important. We have sealed the Wee Rover up as much as we can, but little critters are amazing infiltrators, if encouraged.
So, to discourage the critters wee and large (think Grizzles up north) we keep all food sealed tight with storage bags, plastic and glass containers, plastic storage bins and our amazingly wonderful ARB refrigerator. We also keep all food prep areas clean (fragrance free baby wipes are a must when traveling), and occasionally give everything a wipe down with a mild bleach solution. Knock on wood, so far we have been critter free! Fingers crossed we stay that way!
And, this isn’t just a problem because we are driving an old vehicle. We have met people in newer rigs who have been mouse or bug infested (one friend had to throw away a whole bag of dog food and another had regular mouse infestations). So, a boring topic, but if you are thinking about traveling, add this to your list of things to do…proper food storage.
