RV Hacks: Smart Tips for a Better Camping Experience

Experienced motorhome travelers are always searching for new RV hacks. They have learned to declutter often and only take essentials when traveling, as space is limited, but they enjoy learning from others. You can have everything you need in an RV if you stay organized. 

At Motor Home Travel, we feel the journey is the destination, but want our clients to be comfortable, whether they are on the road or staying in one place for a while. Do you want to explore the world in an enjoyable yet stylish manner? Consider one of the new RVs in our motorhome and travel trailer inventory. Let’s discuss RV hacks that maximize space and optimize your camping experience.

H2: RV Storage Hacks to Maximize Space 
Vertical spaces in motorhomes are underutilized, and hooks quickly become an RV owner’s best friend. Place hooks on the outside of the RV doors for items you don’t want to take into the vehicle, such as jackets. Single hooks are ideal for hanging towels and planters, while multiple hooks on one crossbar are a practical option in bathrooms and kitchen areas.   

Other RV storage hacks include drawer organizers or divider inserts to utilize the available space in drawers and cabinet floors. They are not only practical in a kitchen but will keep your clothing and other items neat and easy to find. Look out for adjustable organizers uniquely sized to fit RV drawers. 

Best Camper Hacks for Comfortable Travel 

RV travel is definitely comfortable when you can take your ‘home’ with you. Enhance the feeling with motorhome hacks that keep your wet feet as clean as possible and prevent items from moving around when you travel. Place interlocking rubber floor tiles in the outside shower of your travel trailer to prevent dirt or sand from sticking to your wet feet. 

Use spring tension curtain rods in the RV’s medicine cabinet, cupboards, refrigerator, or other open spaces to keep items from falling out. Bungee cords are an alternative that can be used inside and outside the RV. Don’t search for tweezers and nail clippers in your toiletry bag. Keep them in sight with magnetic strips against the bathroom wall.

RV Camping Ideas for Stress-Free Adventures 

Do you want a sustainable alternative to the plastic containers people use for extra water on a camping trip? Get dromedary bags. They take up less space, can be reused, have a convenient fill handle, and you can hang the bags on a hook outside the RV. 

Who would have thought that pool noodles and glow-in-the-dark tape would become some of the best camper hacks? Apply glow-in-the-dark tape to surfaces you need to access in the dark, like handles, stairs, and RV steps. They also work well on hitches and trailer forks when you move around at night. Protect your head when accessing storage bays by placing halved pool noodles around sharp edges. Cover light-colored awning tie-downs with pool noodles, and stay safe.

RV Kitchen Hacks for Better Organization

The plates, bowls, pots, and pans we use at home are round, and we don’t give a lot of thought to their shape. Round items waste precious space in small RV kitchens, so look for square items that neatly fit into your cabinets. Stay organized and maximize space in your kitchen with vertical organizers, including dish drying racks. Store flat items such as lids, frying pans, baking sheets, and plates next to each other. The loose items won’t slide around, and you limit the likelihood of breakages.  

Camp kitchen organization is simple when you have metal appliances. Store your spices in magnetized tins and place them against an open metal surface. Keep matches and other small items you use often in other magnetized containers.
