RV Storage Ideas: Creative Tips for Organized Camping

Do you want to go camping and need a few RV storage ideas? We tend to pack a lot of items for those “just in case” moments and then realize there is not enough space to store them. Or we jumble things together and get frustrated when we have to search through everything – when all you wanted was a knife! 

Motor Home Travel, ON, believes the journey is the destination, and we want you to explore the world in comfort and style. Our offerings include new RVs and used vehicles. We might have the perfect motorhome or van to make your travel dreams a reality. Join us as we explore ideas for RV storage, including tight bathroom spaces and under-bed solutions.  

Small RV Storage Ideas for Compact Spaces  

Optimal use of vertical space is a great way to start your camping organization journey. RV campers always search for items that serve multiple functions, and hanging shoe organizers are the ultimate space saver. Yes, you can use them for shoes, but hang one next to your bed to store your phone, book, or reading glasses. 

Find an organizer that fits over the captain’s chair or hang it on a hook by an entry. They are excellent storage for toilet paper, towels, or clothes. Source mason jars from a secondhand store and screw the lids into a board you mount under a cabinet. Use the jars to store small items that you don’t use every day.

RV Bathroom Storage Ideas for Tight Spaces

Campers generally have small bathrooms with limited space. We have several creative storage ideas for an RV bathroom, and you won’t get the laundry bag wet! A wall-mounted toothbrush holder with a cover keeps the toothbrushes tidy, and you can close the cover when traveling. Install hooks at the back of the bathroom door and hang individual travel toiletry bags. There will be no fights about using each other’s products when you travel with children, and they are convenient for staying at campgrounds. Use a soft-sided laundry bag with a strap for dirty clothes. It won’t get wet on the floor and is easy to carry when you stop to do laundry.

Under-Bed RV Storage Ideas for Hidden Solutions

Most motorhomes are designed to maximize storage, and there is often space under beds. Some campers use it for clothing, while others store blankets or winter essentials. Under-bed RV storage ideas include soft-sided containers that keep items separate. Use different-sized containers if you want to store blankets and shoes separately. Choose foldable under-bed products with a handle and clear windows. Everyone can see what is inside, and they are easy to take out when you need something. If you want to replace the smaller items under the bed with more bulky ones, just fold the small containers up and set them aside for another day. 

Creative Storage for Campers: Maximize Every Inch

Storage for campers is not limited to the inside of the RV. Maximize every inch with exterior storage options by the entry door or rear of the motorhome or van. Even the smallest space is helpful. Are you new to camping? Here are a few tips when you want to use external storage, whether for skis, a surfboard, or a mountain bike:

- Pad items with rubber or foam to protect them from dents or scratches.
- Check for balance. Distribute the weight of the items evenly to maintain your vehicle’s balance.
- You will need to strap some items down, so double-check for tightness after driving a short distance. Pack additional tie-downs if you expect to travel in windy areas.
