Every time we move the RV I say I’m going to get things organized a little better. But guess what? It never happens! Have you seen my hall closet (aka 2nd bathroom)? If not, click here for a tour of our Fifth Wheel (said hall closet is at the 4:35 minute mark).
Storage Bins are my Friend
When we downsized from that 44′ Fifth Wheel to our smaller, 30′ Arctic Fox, I really had to make better use of my space. For starters, our closet was reduced by more than half. I used bins and placed the “dress” clothes I don’t wear often in them.
I also measured all my cabinets (they are so plentiful in fifth wheels) and purchased bins for all of them. The Container Store and Ikea are great places to buy storage bins in all sizes. The ones from Ikea are decorative and look nice on top of my kitchen cabinets and help liven the place up.

RV Organization Intervention
So while things are a little better now, I can still use an RV Organization Intervention. I’m missing the homemaker gene. I didn’t do a good job organizing my big sticks & bricks home and I’m not doing much better with the tiny home on wheels.

Thanks for going over some ideas for organizing and RV. I like the idea of utilizing empty space. This seems important if you want to make sure you are utilizing the space of the RV as best as you can.
