RV Organization Hacks and RV Storage Ideas

Living in, or travelling extensively in your RV can be very enticing!  But the practical side of dealing with the small space can be a headache! These RV storage ideas should help.

I have separated them into sections for your RV kitchen, RV bedroom, RV bathroom and outside your RV too.

JUST NOTE:

Not all of these ideas will work for you or you RV. The stuff we use in our pop up camper camper will be a lot different than you may need in a large 5th-wheel trailer.

So scroll through them all and see what’ll suit you.

RV Kitchen Organizers and Small Kitchen Storage Ideas

Stove-top Cover for Extra Space

A stove top cover can give you some much-needed extra surface area.

Then once you’ve prepped all your favorite camping recipes you can remove the wooden top and use your stove.

Great idea to help make the most out of tiny RV kitchens.

RV Sink Covers – to increase working space

Camco and several other companies make sink covers so you can utilize that space for cooking, chopping, or storing items.

The wooden one displayed above is available Amazon.

It looks real good doesn’t it.

It’s available in different finishes too – such as bamboo – if that suits your RV better.

Camco also makes a plastic one called the Camco Sink Mate Cutting Board that you may be interested. (Here is the Amazon link to the plastic one.)

Fold-up/Fold-down Counter-top Extender

How often do you complain about your camper not having enough countertop space?

This extendable counter-top extender is made by Camco. 

If you want a little extra countertop, this may be the product for you. 

RV Kitchen Cabinet Organizer

This wire rack allows you to vertically organize flat items like cookie sheets, cutting boards or cooling racks.

You could also use it to organize your books or magazines too (if you have any in your camper).

Will this work in your camper cabinets?

Kitchen Plate Stacker (Organizer)

These three-sided plate organizers keep your plates nicely stacked while traveling, or just daily living.

They are a really popular way to store plates in a camper.

Other Plate Stacker / Organizers

Coffee Cup Holder (could use to organize your cabinets)

This coffee cup organizer by “muggi” helps solve the problem of loose cups and mugs in your RV. 

And as you can see by the picture above, you can also use it to carry full cups of coffee to your guests.

Plus, it is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic.

If you’re putting it in your RV cabinets you could try sticking it to the base of the cabinets using double-sided tape.

Will this work for you?

Stackable Coffee Mugs with Wire Rack

Are you unhappy with your current set of coffee cups? The set shown above comes with 4 of the 15-ounce cups plus that cool vertical wire storage rack.

The stand is almost 13-inches tall, and you load the mugs from the top, so you’d need to put this in a fairly tall RV kitchen cabinet to be able to access the cups easily.

You’ll want to tape or screw the bottom of the wire rack to the cabinet so it doesn’t slide around during travel days.

(Note: I used to have a different wire coffee cup stacker on here, but it doesn’t appear to be available anymore.

Spice Gripper Cupboard Organizer

These organizing gripper strips are intended to hold spice bottles inside the cupboard door. 

Straight necked spice bottle may slide down through these grips, but you could put a thin strip of wood under the bottles to keep them in place.

Will this work in your camper?

Nesting Bowls with Camper Design!

Are you kidding me? Look at how cool these things are!

Nesting bowls are a great way to maximize storage in a tight space, and these ones with the camper designs are perfect for your RV, or as a gift for a fellow camper.

I’m not sure if you can find these cool bowls at your local retailer, but if you can’t, here is a link to them on Amazon.

Collapsible Bowls with Lids

The bowls below are cool because they collapse down for easy storage, but they also have lids so you can preserve and protect your food for longer.

If you think this could help you organize you RV, you can see more details on Amazon.

More RV Kitchen Wall Organizers

This wall organization unit has hooks to hold larger utensils, baskets, and a little shelf.

It does require some screwing though, so if you aren’t good with tools (or don’t have any) then maybe you’ll want to look for a “sticky” option or…

…what a lot of RV owners will do is screw things into the sidewall of their wooden kitchen cabinets. (So they know they’re hitting wood, and only wood.)

(Note: I used to have a wall organizer listed here that was silver, but I can’t find that one on Amazon anymore so I’ve added this similar black one..)

RV Fridge Organizers – Fridge Bars (very popular)

These spring-loaded, adjustable bars help keep your fridge items contained and organized.

It would suck if the milk spilled during a travel day. These fridge bars are intended to prevent this.

These fridge bars can adjust from 16-inches to 28-inches across.

Will this fit in your fridge?

Travel Size Accessories for your RV (hair dryer)

It is estimated that 1 million Americans live in their RV.

Their needs will be different compared to a weekend camper.

So people that spend lots of time in their RV could benefit from travel-sized tools like this lightweight, folding hair dryer by BaBylissPRO.

It’ll take up less space in your cabinets or in your hanging organizers.

RV Cleaning and Tidying Products

Once you organize your RV, you’ll want to keep it clean. These products should help with that.

Compact Broom for your RV

Some people just don’t have space in their RV or trailer to have a full size broom. 

That is why Camco has created this compact broom to not only clean, but also store it in tight spaces.

It can adjust from 24-inches long to 52-inches long.

Click here to see more picture of it.

Handheld, Cordless Vacuum

We have this cordless vacuum from Black & Decker and it works well. It is great for little piles of dirt or hair.

In this picture I’m using it in our pop up camper.

• It charges uses 120V outlet so you may want to take that into consideration.
• It is quite popular on Amazon and we’ve been happy with our purchase.

RV Outdoor Space

When the weather is beautiful we want to spend more time outside. Make the most of space outside your RV by using the following products or ideas.

Outdoor Mat (with Carrying Bag)

Ok, technically this isn’t an RV organization hack or storage tip, but having a mat like this can really help set up your outdoor area. 

Plus, having a mat like this will help keep the dirt outside and not inside your beautiful RV.

Are you in the market for a new RV outdoor mat? This is a popular, and well-rated mat from the company Stylish Camping.

If you need to help secure the mat to the ground, below are some ground pegs to get the job done.

Do you want another outdoor mat option or don’t like they styling of the above mat?  Then check this one out.  It sums up RV’ers perfectly!

This mat shown below isn’t a storage idea, but it’ll sure add “curb appeal” to your RV.

It’s such a cute outdoor mat. It is from Etsy and you can personalize it to put your family name on there.

RV Picnic Table Cloth

How cute is this thing?

Imagine your camping parties hanging out around the campfire and serving up your favorite food on this cool picnic table cloth.

Once again, this isn’t directly an RV storage or organization idea, but having an easy to use table cloth will allow you to enjoy the great Outdoors and make better use of your outdoor space. 

I generally try to minimize plastic usage, but this PVC table cover is easily wipeable so it should hold up to lots of picnics and beer spills.

Click here to see more details.

Do you want to keep your table cloth in place??

Need a Table to Put your new Table Cloth on?

When my parents had their RV they had a folding table similar to the one shown below.

When they moved on to the next campsite they would simply fold it up and store it inside.

You can find folding tables at many retailers, but if you can’t find the one you want, you can check this one out on Amazon. (They claim it’s suitable for inside or outdoor use.)

Picnic Blanket / Camping Quilt

There is nothing quite like having a beautiful picnic on a warm and sunny day. This super-big camping quilt from Sorison makes a good picnic blanket because it is easy to clean and water repellent.

And if you’re lucky enough to camp near a sandy beach, you can shake the sand off the blanket without it sticking. And in the evening when the temperature dips, you can wrap it around yourself (and your partner) to stay extra warm.

Click here to check it out on Amazon.

Trunk Organizer (used in the RV “basement”)

I know this is listed as a trunk organizer, and intended for cars and SUV’s, but I think it would work well in an under-RV storage compartment.

You could slide it in and out to access your tools, sporting goods or picnic supplies.

Check current price of this popular organizer.

RV Sewer Hose Support

It may not be something we like to talk about or do, but cleaning out the waste water holding tanks of an RV is very important.

This support hose simplifies the process, and it folds up small for easy storage.

If you want some support for your RV sewer hose, check out this Camco Sidewinder.

Sani-Dump Portable Tank ( aka RV Honey Pot)

How many fights have you had with your spouse when you’re backing up the trailer or setting up camp?

Then when the waste tank gets full you gotta pull out, drive to the sani-dump and then set up camp all over again.

It can be a total hassle.

That was the situation my sister was in – well maybe not the arguing with her husband – but they’d paid for a campsite for the season and got it all set up. But they didn’t want to pack everything in to go dump the waste.

That’s when she discovered these things. I think calling these things honey pots is the worst nickname ever…but anyway. They are convenient.

The one shown above is the popular, portable sani-dump from Camco.

It can actually hook up to a truck or golf cart, or you manually move it yourself to the sanidump.

If you want to try something like this – instead of having to pack up camp each time – you can click here to see more information.

Laundry Basket or Plastic Bin under the Awning for Dirty Shoes

I learned this RV organization hack from my sister.

When her kids were younger they would get their muddy footprints inside the RV.

And even if they took their shoes off at the door the space inside the doorway definitely became a “mud room.”

To avoid this mess she started putting a plastic basket under the RV right next to the door. The kids could kick off their shoes on the step and toss them into the basket.

No, this won’t work for everyone. If you have snakes, scorpions, spiders, etc… where you camp, you may want to put the basket inside or find another shoe storage solution.
