List of RV Bedroom Storage Ideas
RV’s range in size from small truck campers to pop up campers to huge 5th-wheels and Class A motorhomes.
So what works in a pop up camper may not work in your 30-feet travel trailer.
That means that not all of the ideas in this list of storage ideas will work for you or your particular RV.
But scroll through them all and hopefully at least one idea will inspire.
Let’s get started!
RV Bedroom Closet Organization Ideas
Not all RV’s have a bedroom closet, but if yours does then there are some ways to help store your clothes and other stuff more effectively in this small space.
If you have too many clothes, or clothes you never wear then maybe its time to bring those clothes back into the house or donate those unused clothes to charity.
You don’t need extra clothes hogging the limited space in your camper.
1) Hanging Sweater organizer
This one is cool because it has smaller pockets along the side as well. These side pockets would work well for accessories like belts, scarves, or even socks.
And you should be able to find some fabric cubes to slide into the shelves to provide easy access to underwear, socks, t-shirts, etc…
It may be too long for some shorter closets though. (There are shorter hanging closet shelves out there though).
2) Hanging Dual-sided pocket organizer
This item hangs from your closet rod (or a command hook if you wanted) and it has clear pockets on both sides allowing for more storage.
It has 21 pockets on each side.
It can be found on Amazon if you want to see more information.
3) Foldable Fabric Storage bags with view window
Do you need a storage idea for the bottom of your closet? Is it currently a jumbled mess?
The bottom of a closet is often wasted space (or a cluttered disaster) so you could measure your RV closet to see if organizers like this will fit.
These bags allow you to store clothes or extra blankets and then stack the boxes on top of each other.
CLICK HERE to see sizes and details on Amazon.
4) More options for fabric storage bags
These quality storage bags shown above (made by Sorbus) have a large clear window in the front.
And it has two access zippers:
- one on the front
- and the other along the top.
So if you have a few stacked to top of each other, you can unzip the front zipper to access clothes from the bottom bag. (You don’t have to “Jenga” your entire stack of bags to get something from the bottom.)
These ones are really popular on Amazon.
5) Foldable Plastic Shoe Crate
Perhaps you’d prefer these folding plastic crates at the bottom of your RV closet. They are marketed as “shoe crates” but you could store other items in here as well.
Click here to see more details of these popular organizers on Amazon.
6) Hanging Over the Door Holders (for shoes, socks, slippers, etc…)
Hanging organizers like this make use of vertical space. The hooks allow you to hang it over a closet or cabinet door.
The product photo above shows it holding shoes, but you could store socks, underwear, slippers, and other small items.
You could buy full size organizers and cut them to fit in your RV, or you could buy this 2-pack of narrow organizers made by a company called KIMBORA.
7) Wire Mesh Cubes
These types of wire mesh cubes are modular so you can build a variety of shapes to suit your needs.
The picture above shows them in a standard 2X2 cube shape, but you can also make them tall and skinny like a tower.
8) Baskets to Contain Clothes and Accessories
And you can use baskets to hold your smaller clothing items, such as socks and underwear.
It may require you to think about folding clothes in a different way.
Check out these rolled and vertically packed men’s underwear and socks in plastic bins.
And if you want to get away from plastic you can use seagrass baskets, wooden baskets or fabric baskets.
There are a lot of plastic-free options out there, and since you’ll be storing dry, clean clothes in them I don’t foresee any issues concerning moisture.
Below is a picture of a fabric cube being used inside an RV closet.

9) RV Closet Hacks to prevent slipping while traveling
- Get velvet hangers so your clothes don’t slip off
- Or hang more clothes so they’re tightly packed into your closet – this will prevent movement during travel
- Or push all the clothes tight to one side of the closet and put a clamp on the closet rod so the clothes can’t slide back
10) Other RV Hacks to Maximize Storage in a RV Closet
- If you have the room you could add a second lower closet rod
- Then you just need to change or improve your “clothes folding skills” – start folding clothes so they don’t hang down so far
- Get slim clothes hangers with anti-slip pads (like the ones shown below)
When we purchased our old house the previous owner left behind some closet organizers.
And for years I didn’t bother using them, but I started using these vertical hangers and it helps minimize closet spread (when the clothes take up your whole closet rod).
Will these work in your RV?

RV Bedside Storage and Organization Ideas
If you are ever startled awake it’s important to know where your glasses are or a flashlight.
Since most RV’s do not have room for a traditional bedside table you’ll have to look at other bedside storage options.
Below I’ve provided some bedside organization ideas so you’ll know where your “stuff” is.
11) Bedside Caddy
This bedside caddy slips between the mattress and box spring and hangs along the side of the bed to provide easy access to your personal items.
This particular item has 1 large main pocket and 3 smaller mesh pockets.
The one downside that I read about this item though is that it may slip out from between the mattress.
You may need to attach Velcro straps to your box spring, then Velcro to this caddy and stick them together. (The Velcro is not included.)
12) Headboard Caddy
I wasn’t able to find a good picture showing this bedroom organizer attached to a headboard, but that is what it is meant to do.
If you don’t have a headboard, you can put tension rods above the bed, tight to the front wall.
Then hang an organizer like this from the tension bar.
Hanging it on the headboard will allow you and partner to be able to reach it.
Or better yet, this comes as a 2-pack so you can each have one.

13) Fabric Wall Organizer Hanging Storage
Making use of your vertical space is a great RV bedroom organization idea.
You’ve got the wall, so try and use it.
This particular wall organizer is quite small, but if you have a realistic expectation of their size they make a good RV bedroom organizer.
Yes, they’re rather small but they’re good to fit your remote controls, reading glasses, tissues, etc… not your hardcover encyclopedias.
You could attach it the wall using Command Hooks if you are reluctant to screw into the wall or cabinets.

Our friends have a similar pocketed-organizer but they have it on the wall near the door.
It is a really cute organizer, but she can’t remember exactly where she got it.
You may be able to find it at your local retailer, or I found a similar-looking one on Amazon. (Below)
14) Other RV Hacks – Wall Organization Ideas
- Can you put some shelves above the bedroom door?
- Would an over-the-door hanging coat rack work for inside the bedroom door? (you could hang your robes on here)
- If you don’t want to screw anything into the walls could you make use of command hooks?
15) Bedside Shelf (adhesive)
This beside shelf has an adhesive on the back for your to stick it on the wall near your bed. It has a smaller shelf up top for glasses or small items, and a larger pocket-shelf down below for your phone.
If you want an little shelf near your RV bed, and you don’t want to screw into the wall, check this out. (Click here for more details on Amazon.)
16) Wall-Mounted Plastic Baskets using Command Hooks
My family member put some command hooks on the wall and then hung a plastic basket from the hooks.
It acts an organizer for her son’s books and bedroom knick-knacks.
Sorry the picture is a bit blurry but I think you get the idea. It’s a great organization hack (and no tools required).
And yes it does “stay put.” It has been hanging there for a couple years.
I hope you’ve found some inspiring ideas to declutter and organize your RV bedroom today.
I’m sure there is over a thousand ideas i’ve MISSED.
