A camper can be for anything from a one-night campout to your primary home. There’s no end to the adventures: a night under the stars, a weekend getaway, or a summer of national park visits. But when you’re traveling and living in such a small space, RV organization is key!
Not only does good organization help your day go smoothly, but it also contributes to better mental health and, in the end, a happier vacation. The visual stimuli of an unorganized space can be overwhelming, making it difficult to relax and enjoy the journey. Here are 5 tips to help keep your RV organized and clutter-free.
Use Baskets and Bins
Baskets and bins are your best friends when it comes to RV organization. Store nearly anything, from food items and cookware to bath accessories and cleaning supplies. Plus, they’re easy to move around when you need to access something in a different location.
Bins with lids will help you keep your items clean and dirt-free. They also prevent other items from sliding around when you’re on the road. Label the bins so you know where to find things quickly and easily.
Install Hooks and Hanging Organizers
Look for an opportunity to install hooks wherever possible. Use them to hang clothes, towels, or camping gear like lanterns and flashlights.
Hanging organizers with multiple pockets will give you another way to store small items. Hang them in the closet, kitchen area, bathroom, or even the hallway. They’re great for storing toiletries and other items that can easily get lost in a drawer.
Multi-Use Products
From fold-down shelves to storage ottomans, these items are must-haves for RV life:
- wall-mounted desks/tables
- convertible couches/beds
- under bed drawers or bins
- stackable containers
- shoe organizers
- magnetic strips and hooks
Look for RV storage that serves two or more purposes and can be easily stored away when not in use.
Utilize Under-Furniture Space
All of that room under your beds and couches is prime RV storage space. Use it to store extra blankets, shoes, or seasonal items. And don’t forget about the back of your closet, too! It’s a great place to hang backpacks and other bags that you use often but may not need right away.
Keep Your Most-Used Items Accessible
If possible, store the items you use most often in easily accessible places. This will save you from digging around for them each time you need something. For example, keep pet supplies in a basket near the door, so you can grab them on the way out for a walk. Or add pegs to the wall by your coffee maker to store your coffee mugs and save room in your cupboards.
RV organization is key to a successful trip. Take the time to store items properly, and you’ll thank yourself later when your space remains clutter- and stress-free.
