How to Keep your RV Organized

Despite some of the most spacious coaches and loads of cabinets and drawers space is always an issue when it comes to an RV. If you are anything like me you want to take nearly everything from home and bring it with you. Unfortunately common laws of physics don’t allow for more objects than the space permits. Fortunately I have discovered some helpful tips on how to package things smaller and organize in a way to allow you to bring more, here are a few of my solutions.

I love to cook in our RV and I especially love the money that it saves by not eating out for every meal. Unfortunately bringing all of those spice jars and tins with me takes up an entire cabinet that I just can’t spare. But I have found a way to bring all of the kinds and varieties that I need and save on space and that is by using empty tic-tac containers to store all of my spices. They fit perfectly in a small drawer freeing up some much needed cabinet space!

Another kitchen helper is having some of our food pre-made so that I don’t have to tote all of the ingredients with me. Pancakes are a big breakfast staple while we are RVing but bringing the big box of batter can get bulky and in the way. I have devised a way to make not only storage but the cooking process easier and that is to store already mixed pancake batter into plastic squeeze containers such as empty ketchup bottles. That way in the morning you can simple squeeze the batter into the pan with no preparation and very little clean up!

Last but not least the bathroom space is a high commodity in our RV. Instead of cramming all of my cosmetics, hair accessories, jewelry, etc into small cosmetic bags I have discovered a way to display it and yet use up little to no space. I use a shoe bag organizer attached to the back of the bathroom door. This way it stays out of sight and the smaller pockets allow me to keep all of my beauty routine necessities organized and within reach.

If you have any other tips for organizing in small places I would love to hear them!
