\u201cOn the road again, just can\u2019t wait to get on the road again!\u201d  –  Willie Nelson<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re into the RV lifestyle, these lyrics are probably your anthem. Life on the road always brings something new just over the horizon, but certain aspects of RV life are less exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storage is nearly always a challenge in an RV\u2014unless you are a dedicated minimalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new recreational vehicle is likely to have added innovative small space storage solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, figuring out a place for everything and keeping everything in its place is a challenge. Browse our best RV storage ideas and learn how to maximize the limited space inside your home on wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Bathroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if your RV or camper van is spacious, its bathroom is most likely tight squeeze. RV living requires making the most of every inch of bathroom storage and counter space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if RV storage in the bathroom is limited, you can use a few storage idea tricks to maximize what you have. For example, tuck an old magazine holder beside the toilet bowl to stash extra rolls of toilet paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hang an extra towel rack on any free RV bathroom wall space, especially if you\u2019re traveling with several other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purchase \u201cS\u201d hooks to hang on the towel holder and you can hang five or six towels from one rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wall is also a great RV storage spot for toothbrushes via a wall-mounted toothbrush rack. Free up extra space in the shower by having everyone use the same bottle of 3-in-1 soap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Bed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An RV bedroom usually comes with cabinets and other integrated RV storage ideas, but there is always room for improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your RV storage space next to the bed may be limited\u2014you might not have a nightstand at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, look for a caddy-style organizer that attaches to the bedside and use it to hold your phone, reading glasses, lip balm, lotion, and other items that would normally reside on your nightstand at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for bedside lamps that have an electric outlet and\/or USB plug built into the base. \u201cMultiplying\u201d electrical outlets like this is an easy way to maximize tabletop and counter space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can install a shelved headboard over the main bed, it\u2019s a great RV storage solution for clothing and gadgets. A flat storage bin with plastic dividers is a great way to organize a large drawer under the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Closet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As an RV owner, you know that every foot of RV closet space is precious. It\u2019s challenging to consolidate all your camper storage into the available closet space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you should take advantage of all great RV organization ideas so that clutter doesn\u2019t make your camper feel claustrophobic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An RV closet organizer hangs from a closet or tension rod and enables you to use all vertical extra space. A hanging shelf serves a similar purpose. Look for a fabric shoe organizer to hang on the back of the closet door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don\u2019t travel with that many shoes, the little pockets are handy places to stash socks, underwear, toiletries and other small items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An RV kitchen might be small, but it\u2019s possible to create a truly functional space even in the tightest kitchen quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, a collapsible dish tub takes up little RV space but can be used for several purposes. Remember that all your kitchen items don\u2019t have to be stored in the kitchen area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make use of any unused compartments, such as under the bed or an RV closet shelf, and store excess RV kitchen materials there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your RV freezer comes with an ice maker, you can remove it to increase your freezer\u2019s storage space. Use narrow ice cube trays instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep plenty of zip-top bags on hand, so that when your coffee can or cereal box is half-empty, you can toss the space-wasting containers. Storing the remaining product in zip-top bags frees up more kitchen space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Pantry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your RV kitchen has a pantry, it\u2019s important to utilize all available vertical space. Install spice rack<\/a> strips inside the pantry door and hang under-shelf baskets to use what\u2019s normally wasted space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for products in square or rectangular containers instead of rounded ones, as they stack together tightly. This is one of the oldest camper storage ideas to maximize every inch of available space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RV organization requires letting go of any bulk-buying habits you may have. Never buy more than will fit into your RV pantry. Keep the size of your RV storage space in mind when you shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A larger container might be a better bargain, but limited storage space means you should go for the smaller package. Use double-sided mounting tape to install hooks that can hold small items in bags on a cabinet door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Shelves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since indoor RV storage is so limited, it helps to hang shelves wherever you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many recreational vehicle and camper trailer manufacturers already install shelving storage solutions, it\u2019s easy enough to add more to suit your personal needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good RV organization tip is to add hooks below shelves to hang mugs, keys, and other items you need while camping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stack a variety of storage container options on your shelves, but make sure they\u2019re secured so they don\u2019t fall off while you\u2019re driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put a small elevated shelf behind the kitchen sink to reclaim a little counter space in that area. Designate RV storage zones to each family member, labeling a shelf or cabinet with each person\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Space Saving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSpace saving\u201d is the name of the game when it comes to RV storage ideas. Any way you can consolidate items is helpful, especially when camping with a large group of family or friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for nesting pots and pans, mixing bowls, and measuring cups to maximize RV storage in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pop-up laundry hampers neatly fold away when not in use, and double as a pop-up trash can when lined with a plastic bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lazy Susan is a great space saving accessory for condiments. Keep it in an RV cabinet between meals and put it on the table when you\u2019re eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also easy to carry out to a picnic table while camping. Saving space wherever you can is perhaps the most essential RV organization tip of all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
