Regardless of the size of your RV, you’ll want to learn a few space-saving storage tips. This will allow you to bring along most of the items you think you’ll need on your trip without compromising the available space and getting overrun with clutter.

In the Living Room
You may have various heavy and bulky items in your rig, such as your TV, computer, printer, dehumidifier, and so on. You’ll want to strap them down during transit to prevent them from getting damaged and causing injury to any traveling members.
Use your camping strap to secure the items to a piece of furniture that’s bolted down to your rig’s floor. This will prevent them from getting tossed around when you’re traveling. Also, you can avoid letting your closet get overrun with clothes and accessories by packing lighter for your trip, using ultra-slim hangers to keep your coats and sweaters, and utilizing a collapsible laundry tub for dirty clothes.
You can also consider buying several hooks to put on your hangers, where you can hang your scarves, ties, and hats.
In the Kitchen
To store items in your RV’s kitchen, select space-saving options that can keep the area clutter-free and less crowded. You’ll want to use hanging baskets or hammocks for your fruits and vegetables and stackable bowls and measuring cups that fit into one another. You can also make the most of the available space on your countertops using square-shaped food containers that you can place close to or on top of each other.
To hang your knives, you can use magnetic tape on your kitchen backsplash, and a Lazy Susan will be an ideal option for storing all your herbs and spices in one place. In addition, you’ll want to get an over-the-door trash basket to save space and manage your trash conveniently while traveling.
In the Bathroom
Your RV’s bathroom may appear overcrowded with your items and products, which can only worsen, depending on the size of your traveling party. That’s why you’ll want to use a few techniques that can help reduce the mess and keep your items out of your way.
Use wall-mounted organizers to store your toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, etc., and hang hooks for your towels. You’ll also want to buy smaller containers of shampoos, conditioners, and shower gels, instead of larger ones if you’ll only be gone a few days.
Additionally, to optimize the space inside your cabinets, use over-the-door holders and wall-mounted storage containers for storing smaller items that can roll on the floor and create chaos.
