How to store things in your RV Bathroom – 31+ ideas
In a small bathroom with limited space – like in an RV – you want to keep your personal care items off of the counters.
So you’ll see a variety of wall-mounted organizers, curtain rod organizers, and ways to organize drawers and cabinets.
NOTE: Are you thinking, “Who needs all this stuff for camping?” Don’t worry, a lot of people think that. But the RV life is more than just camping. It is estimated that over one million Americans live in their RV full time. So their needs will be greatly different than weekend campers.
I’ve tried to give a variety of storage options that will appeal to the spectrum of RV owners.
Keep scrolling right to the bottom because you never know what idea will appeal to you.
1) Mesh Hanging Shower Curtain Organizer
These hanging organizers are very handy to keep your toiletries in one place.
Now you don’t have to clutter up your sink counter with creams, lotions, shavers, etc… you can just put them into this organizer.
And because RV bathroom are so small they’ll still be within easy reach.
And if you get a mesh one (like this one) you could hang it on the dry side of the shower curtain rod, or the wet side of the shower curtain (inside the shower).
2) Foldable Sink Topper (add extra counter space)
Wish you had more space on the bathroom counter of your RV? Well, this foldable sink topper gives you that!
It folds out to span your sink and provide a place to set your toiletries, brushes, makeup, etc…
(Please don’t sneer at the makeup comment…lots of people live in their RV.)
If you’re saying this thing looks awesome, click here for more details.
3) Two-Pack of Stainless Steel Razor Holders (adhesive)
This 4 pack of wall-mounted razor holders made by BRYUBR would allow a woman to put hers in the shower, and a man to mount his on the bathroom wall.
They stick to the wall using an adhesive: which has its drawbacks.
In order to stick well your wall should be smooth and non-porous, such as tile, metal, glass, mirrors, or smooth fiberglass.
It isn’t recommended for painted walls, textured drywall or other porous surfaces. On the Amazon products page they list the recommended surfaces to stick it to, and which to avoid.
4) Razor Holder by Command brand (adhesive)
Here is another style of wall-mounted razor holder that uses an adhesive.
This is from the Command brand (made by 3M).
The manufacturer claims it is strong and can hold up to 3 pounds. (I’d hate to shave with a 3 pound razor!)
And some people stick these to the inside of bathroom cabinet doors for extra storage opportunities.
5) Suction Cup Razor Holders
If you don’t want to use an adhesive in your RV bathroom or shower, you could try suction cup razor holders.
The 2-pack shown below is made by the company Teletrogy.
If you mounted these in the shower you could also hang wash cloths, sponges, soap-on-a-rope and other personal care items.
6) Multi-compartment Wall-mounted Toothbrush Storage Holder (adhesive)
No drilling or screwing required…it sticks to the wall using an adhesive strip.
My sister who has a travel trailer feels the no drilling storage ideas are very important.
She doesn’t want to risk screwing into the wall and hitting a pipe or wire.
If you feel the same way you may want to check out this item.
It’s a great solution to help keep your small bathroom counter-top clear and uncluttered.
7) Small 2-brush toothbrush holder (adhesive)
Here is another toothbrush storage idea.
This little toothbrush holder from Camco is a compact storage item that will get the toothbrushes off the counter and onto the wall.
It comes with double-sided tape to adhere it to the wall.
It’ll help you utilize the vertical space in a small RV bathroom and it takes up very little space.
8) Suction Cup Toothbrush Holder (and razor holder)
This wall-mounted toothbrush holder by VANVENE is a versatile bathroom organizer.
It is a cute person-shaped suction cup hanger to hang your toothbrushes, razors, face clothes and more.
And what is cool about this product is that it comes as a pack of 4!
So perhaps if you like to brush your teeth over the bathroom sink you can mount yours near there, and if your spouse is a “shower brusher” then they could mount it in the shower.
This is a cute and versatile RV bathroom storage idea.
9) Over the Cabinet Door Organizer
This can be used for garbage (as shown in the picture), but you could also use it to store everyday items like hair care products, extra toothpaste and other narrow items.
And if you notice in the picture above the top of the organizer is quite close to the top of the cabinet door. Therefore, really tall items won’t fit in the basket without smacking against the frame when you try to close the cabinet door.
Make sure you measure your cabinets before ordering to make sure it’ll fit.
10) Wall-mounted Baskets (screw into wall)
Many folks don’t want to screw into their RV walls, but are happy to drill and screw into their cabinets.
Most cabinets are solid enough to attach a basket like the one shown above.
(Obviously check if your cabinets are well built enough to hold a basket and check under-cabinet dimensions to make sure a basket like this would allow you close the door without hitting the plumbing.)
They make various sizes of the baskets: the one shown above is small size and would stick 4.5″ into the cabinet.
Will that steer clear of your plumbing pipes?
If you like the look of these wall baskets…
11) Sliding Basket Under Sink Organizer
Have you ever looked deep to the back of the bathroom cabinet?
Did you find stuff in there that expired 5 years ago? Yeah, me too.
A sliding basket organizer like the one above is designed to help that.
It is narrow (only 11″ wide) and may fit under the sink cabinets. But it is 12″ high, so I’m not sure how much stuff you’d be able to put on the top shelf.
You could use it under the kitchen sink or bathroom sink.
Take a measurement of your bathroom sink cabinet. Is there at least 11″ to spare between your pipes and the edge of the cabinet?
Do you think this RV organizer will work for you?
12) Wine Rack-looking Towel Holder (screws into wall)
If you don’t want to screw into your RV wall, this towel holder claims it can be screwed onto a door.
Just be cautious you’ll still be able to enter and exit the bathroom easily considering you’ll no longer be able to open the door as wide as before
Don’t like chrome?
Click here to see what other colors this is available in.
I dedicated an entire article on ways to store towels in an RV. Because it is important to a lot of RV owners.
13) Swiveling Towel Bars (adhesive hold)
This modern and sophisticated towel rack by KES is now available with an adhesive to stick it to your RV bathroom wall.
The manufacturer claims it can hold up to 6.5 pounds.
If you want more details of this adhesive model, click here to see it on Amazon.
Are you okay to screw into your walls or cabinet? If so, KES also makes a swiveling towel rack that you screw into the wall. Click here to see details of there “screw in” model.
14) Toilet Paper Holder Doubling as Towel Hook
On a Facebook group I’m in someone mentioned they use toilet paper holders to hang towels.
They mounted a couple TP holders high up on their RV bathroom walls and drape towels over it.
The TP holder shown above isn’t exactly like the one I saw on Facebook, but I just had to include this picture. I wanted to add it because of its “outside the box thinking.”
Seems like such as smart idea having your toilet paper held vertically.
Why do we always mount TP horizontally?
This item shown above is available on Amazon if you want to have a closer look.
Just read the cautions about what kind of walls you can stick it to. They have a list of acceptable and unacceptable walls on their product detail page on Amazon.
15) Command Hooks to Hang Towels
This is a simple solution for hanging towels.
Command Hooks by 3M makes hangers that are designed to be used in the bathroom. They claim they are water-resistant.
If you plan on hanging wet towels from them you’ll want to consider the large size, which they say will hold 5 pounds.
Unless you’re drying yourself off with a down-filled duvet, that should hold your wet towel. And they’re a perfect way to hang a hand towel right next to the sink for easy access.
Below is my sister’s RV where they use a Command Hook to hang hand towels right next to the sink.

16) Paper Towel Holder to Hold Toilet Paper in your RV
Below is a photo showing how my sister’s family uses a vertical paper towel holder on the floor to hold the toilet paper.
This is a good idea if you don’t want to screw into the walls: simply place it on the floor in front of the toilet.
Here is a link to a similar (but not exactly the same) paper towel hold on Amazon.
17) Tension Rod Shelves above your RV toilet
The picture above is one that my sister took of her RV. It is a very clever idea.
I mentioned earlier how she is hesitant to drill into her walls so she came up with this idea instead.
She places the tension rods between two close walls in her RV (above the toilet) and places baskets on this make-shift shelf.
Her RV is usually parked for the season at a campsite, so the baskets will stay put, but if you’re traveling then you can just take the baskets down and set them in the tub or shower.
You can see she puts towels and toilet paper in the baskets but you could store small items, or extra toiletries too.
You can buy tension bars at most of your local stores (I bought some at Walmart), but if you do online shopping I have provided a link to one on Amazon.
18) Seagrass Baskets (to put on your tension bar shelves)
If you don’t already have a basket to place on your tension bars shelves, above are seagrass baskets with handles. (Take off the shelf and put in the shower on travel days.)
19) DIY Tension Bar Shower Organization Idea
To help organize your RV shower you can install a tension rod along the back wall of your shower.
Then you can hang plastic baskets or an RV shower caddy from this rod using S-hooks or even shower curtain hooks.
Above is a picture of this DIY idea. This photo is in a residential house, but it shows you the idea in action.
Can you put a second tension shower rod inside your RV shower to hang stuff from?
20) Hanging RV Shower Caddy
This 5-pocket mesh RV shower caddy has a hanger on top so you can hang it from your shower nozzle, or a quality command hook.
It is made out of mesh so water won’t pool in the pockets and get stagnant.
And once again it makes the most out of the vertical space so everything isn’t piling up on counter-tops or on the floor of the shower.
Because it is portable you can take this RV shower caddy with you if you use a campground’s shower or public showers. Really cool organizer.
If you don’t already have one, you should get one because shower caddies are a great RV bathroom storage idea.
I have an entire article dedicated to shower organization ideas so you can check it out if you want more ideas.
21) Shower Soap Dispenser (Wall-mounted)
Another shower organization solution is this wall-mounted soap dispenser called “the Dispenser III”.
It has three chambers: one for shampoo, one for conditioner and one for shower gel.
Having a dispenser like this in your shower will help you eliminate all those annoying shampoo bottles and other plastic containers sloshing around at your feet while you’re trying to shower.
No tools required for installation. You use waterproof silicone glue and 2-sided tape.
This could also help your family reduce plastic.
If you buy shampoo and conditioner in bulk, you could fill up the dispenser before camping and leave the large bottles at home.
You don’t have to buy more small plastic bottles, and over time this plastic soap dispenser would result in less plastic waste.
22) A Shower Basket Shelf (adhesive)
Here is another way to help keep your personal shower items off the floor and give you some additional storage space in your shower.
These shelves adheres to tile, or tempered glass, so no drilling required.
It provides a shelf to ensure your personal care things are close by, and its basket design will help keep things in place. It is an elegant-looking RV bathroom storage idea.
This is a popular 2-pack made by KESOL.
Will this help you organize your RV bathroom?
23) Command Brand Wall-mounted Shelf
I didn’t realize that “Command” made shelves and organizers.
I thought they only made the adhesive hooks.
I guess it makes sense that they’ve expanded into making the actual organizers too.
Above is a wall-mounted wire basket from Command that they claim will hold 6.5 pounds and can make a great RV bathroom storage solution.
24) Shower Organizing Shelves Kit (suction cups)
This stainless steel set of 3 wall-mounted shower organizers from ARCCI will help keep your shampoo, conditioner, soap and scrubbies off of the shower floor.
- These use suction cups to stick it to your shower wall.
- This means your wall needs to be flat and non-porous.
25) Shower Door Hanging Baskets
Another good shower organization idea is to use hanging baskets like the one shown above.
They’re a super easy way to add storage to your RV’s bathroom. It doesn’t take any special skills to hang this over the glass doors or shower rods in your bathroom.
You’ll probably be able to find them at your local dollar store. (Check if they have foam under the metal hangers to prevent scratching your glass doors.)
They are another great way to get the shampoo bottles off the tub floor.
26) RV Shower Storage Bar (adhesive)
Do your shampoo and conditioner bottles fall off the shelf in your camper’s shower?
This is an adjustable, stick-on bar that you place in front of a corner shelf to help keep these hair products in place.
If you have a problem with soap bottles falling to the floor, check this out.
27) Stainless Steel Corner Storage Bar
Here is another corner storage bar that has been gaining in popularity lately. This one by Safoner is made of stainless steel and can adjust from 7-inches wide to 13-inches wide.
It uses sticky pads to stick to the shower wall, and will help keep your soaps and shampoos in place.
Click here to see more details of this storage rod.
28) Hanging Pocket Organizers
This over-the-door pocket organizer shown above is made by Simple Houseware.
Sometimes they’re called a shoe organizer, but they’re for WAY MORE than just shoes.
You could store extra soap in here, shampoo bottles, toothpaste, hair dryer, smaller items like lip gloss, floss, etc…
An organizer like this one helps you maximize space in your small RV bathroom by letting you utilize vertical space. Think 3-D!
It is 18-inches wide and 52-inches tall.
Will that fit on your RV bathroom door?
It is intended to hang over the top of the door, but if you don’t have enough clearance to shut the door, you could screw it into your wooden door.
29) Hanging “Shelf” Pocket Organizer (handy RV bathroom storage idea)
The organizer shown above (also made by Simple Houseware) is an interesting design.
It hangs from the back of your door, but the 6 pockets are almost like little shelves.
It is a narrow organizer:
- only 13-inches wide
- And it is 52-inches tall.
It has a clear plastic window in the front of every pocket so you can see what is in it. This item will help reduce clutter on your RV bathroom cabinets and countertop.
30) Hanging Toiletry Bag for Makeup, hair care products, etc…
This is a great accessory for your RV or for traveling. It folds up into a handheld purse, and then you can hang it unfolded from the back of a door, the shower curtain, or you could hang it from a Command Hook.
And it has elastic straps in the pockets to help keep your products upright. Pretty cool.
31) Narrow Garbage Can WITH Lid
The narrow garbage can shown below is a 5 Liter step can garbage made by MainStays, available at Walmart.
32) Narrow Garbage Can WITHOUT a Lid
Umbra makes a sleek and narrow garbage can intended for small spaces that you can find here on Amazon.
It is a very popular waste can!
Will this fit between your RV toilet and cabinet?

RV Medicine Cabinet
Do you have an RV medicine cabinet in your camper? If you do this can be a great place to organize and store small bathroom items like dental supplies and first aid supplies.
Above is a picture of a medicine cabinet in my family member’s 5th-wheel trailer. She uses little baskets from the dollar store to keep things fairly tidy.
You could dedicate a little basket to each family member.
(If your RV doesn’t already have a medicine cabinet you could look into installing a lightweight one in your bathroom, but you’d have to be really careful you mounted it correctly and don’t screw into any plumbing or electrical lines.)
RV Bathroom Decor Ideas
Just because it’s in your RV doesn’t mean it has to look junky or tacky.
Below are some decor ideas that will spruce up your “home away from home.”
Rustic Shelves (Over the toilet shelves)
I love the look of these rustic shelves.
They are cute and make a neat RV bathroom storage idea (keep things off your counters).
They are fairly lightweight too: the unit weighs just under 3 pounds.
But I think you’ll still need to drill it into your wall.
And this shelf doubles as a handy organizer because once again, it is providing a way to get your items off of the counter-top.
You’ll notice it has no lip on the edge, so it won’t act as a containment device: you’ll have to take down items during traveling days.
Will this go above your RV toilet?
Shower mat
This machine washable microfibre accent rug has a non-slip bottom so it should stay where you put it.
They claim it dries fast, and you can get it in a few different colors with the chevron pattern.
Intentionally “Campy” Shower Curtain Set (Etsy)
This retro cool shower curtain shown below is something I came across on Etsy.
It’s so eye-catching!
If you have friends over to your RV you know they’ll comment on these bright bathroom decor items.
I think these are campy, but not tacky. But obviously tastes vary. 🙂
Just double check sizes to make sure this shower curtain isn’t too large for your RV shower. If you want a smaller “RV-sized” edition, click here.
Here is another style you may like better.

Travel Size Accessories
Your RV likely doesn’t have much space to begin with, and filling it up with “regular size” accessories can quickly take up more space.
You may not need all these travel accessories – like a portable hair dryer – but then again, maybe they’ll help you.
(And before you get upset and say, “You don’t need all that stuff camping!” remember that everyone uses their RV differently, and it is estimated that 1 million Americans live in their RV full-time. Their needs may be different from yours.)
Folding Travel Hair Dryer (by BaBylissPRO)
Hair dryers are notoriously power-hungry appliances. So this won’t work for everyone.
But if your RV is connected to shore power (AC power) you could use a small, folding hair dryer like this popular one from BaBylissPRO to help with your hair routine. (And it’ll take up less space in your RV bathroom.)
This small, portable hair dryer is well-rated with thousands of reviews on Amazon.
Will it help you?

Great ideas. I’m loving your posts. Keep them coming ?
I love the over the door clear pocket shoe organizer! It can be used in the garage, craft room, or RV. Use in the RV shower or RV kitchen cabinets (cut in half), also cut in fourths for handy shoe pockets by the door or surround the bed. Because they are clear, you can see at a glance where your items are.
Thanks Jean, they are super handy aren’t they!
There is no need to pack away any items that are decorative on shelves. I use “Museum putty” to hold them in place. There is no moving or falling even on the bumpiest of roads. Since these types of putty are to protect valuable items in a Museum from falling they are of course easy to remove and most are reusable. Search the Web as there are many brands. I also use this in my house with items that could get easily knocked over.
