5 RV Organization Hacks to Simplify Your Travel

As spring approaches it is the perfect time to revamp your RV organization strategy. Keeping your RV tidy and well-organized not only enhances your travel experience but also adds a sense of comfort to your home on wheels. Here are five practical ways to maintain order and make this year your most organized year yet.

1. Embrace Minimalism

• Pare down your belongings to the essentials. Keep only what you truly need and use. When RVing, each item’s weight makes an impact on your load size. 

• Consider dual-purpose items and multifunctional furniture to maximize space without sacrificing convenience. A foldable storage ottoman or a collapsible dish drying rack can save significant space.

2. Establish a Daily Decluttering Routine

• Designate a few minutes each day to tidy up. A small daily effort can prevent clutter from accumulating.

• Encourage everyone on board to put items back in their designated spots after use. Doing so will create a more peaceful travel experience.

• Use a hanging organizer for shoes, toiletries, or small items to keep essentials accessible and organized.

3. Maximize Storage Space

• Invest in storage solutions that make the most of every nook and cranny. Utilize under-bed storage bins, stackable food containers, and wall-mounted spice racks to free up counter space.

• Instead of using a large trash bag indoor or outdoor, clip on the steel trash bag holder.

• Velcro, bungee cords, and tension rods can secure loose items during travel and prevent shifting.

4. Label and Categorize Everything

• Label storage bins, drawers, and cabinets to streamline locating items.

• Categorize your belongings, grouping similar items together for easy access.

• Utilize clear plastic bins so you can easily see what’s inside without having to rummage through cabinets.

5. Digital Organization for a Clutter-Free Space

• Go paperless by storing manuals, travel documents, and other essential paperwork digitally.

• Use smartphone apps for checklists, travel planning, and maintenance schedules to reduce physical clutter.

• Try a tablet or e-reader for storing books and guides instead of carrying physical copies.

Bonus Tip: Utilize Hidden Spaces

• The space above cabinet doors, under tables, and even inside hollow furniture can be turned into extra storage.

• Free up drawer space from large kitchen items using an over the cabinet door organizer to store cutting boards, dish soap, and saran wrap.

• Use bedside caddies for nighttime essentials, keeping them within reach but off the floor.

Implementing these organization hacks can make a significant difference in the functionality and aesthetics of your space. A well-organized RV not only simplifies your life on the road but also ensures that you can focus on enjoying the journey rather than searching for misplaced items.

See you on the road!
