Something that must be considered when traveling fulltime in your RV, is how are you going to fasten things down to keep them from getting broken. There are lots of ideas and methods for the larger items, but you will have to be inventive for the smaller more fragile items. One method that we use is "Quake Hold". We travel with a china cabinet in our fifth wheel and it houses among other things, Bobbi's glass unicorn collection. You can see some of them in the photos in the right column on this page. In our six or seven years of traveling, not one has broken. They are all held in place with Quake Hold and Collectors Hold, also known as Museum Putty. We also have items around our coach that are anchored by this putty on oak wood. It has not stained or discolored the wood at all.

We did have a scare a few years back as we arrived in Colorado. Just outside of Denver, we were headed to a reservoir campground and hit a railroad track so hard that our coach jumped off the ground. We were sure that the unicorn collection was gone. I stopped immediately to check things out. I asked Bobbi to go look, but she would have no part in it. She could not stand to see her collection in pieces. So I went back and entered the coach to find that the china cabinet had broken loose from the wall, the screws had pulled right out. The cabinet was hanging by a thread. I gently lefted the cabinet back against the wall, and discovered that not one of the collection pieces had come loose. They were all still securely anchored to their shelves.

We usually get the putty at a china store across the street from Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. Museum wax is also very good and you can buy it online at, Museum Wax
