Organizing an RV with limited space can definitely be a challenge, but with a few strategic tweaks, you can transform your mobile home into a well-organized haven. Whether you're a full-time RVer or just enjoy weekend getaways, maximizing every inch of your RV is essential for a comfortable and efficient living space. We found a great video that shares 8 small changes you can make today to have a huge impact on your RV organization.
1. Use Multi-Functional Furniture
One of the best ways to save space in your RV is by using multi-functional furniture. Many RV manufacturers already install sofas that double as beds or dinette areas that can be transformed into workspaces or additional sleeping areas. Think about how you can use each piece of furniture for multiple purposes. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of home decor—without the sharp edges!
2. Install Shelves and Hooks
Installing shelves and hooks can make a world of difference in an RV. Use every bit of available space by adding shelves in cupboards to divide dishes or hooks to hang towels and kitchen utensils. Just be careful not to go overboard and turn your RV into a hook museum.
3. Invest in Collapsible Items
Collapsible items are a game-changer for RV organization. From mixing bowls to storage containers, anything that can collapse and save space is worth its weight in gold. Just make sure you don’t accidentally collapse your dinner plans along with your mixing bowl.
4. Utilize Empty Spaces
Don’t let any empty space go to waste. Underneath bunks, dinette areas, and even closet spaces can be optimized for storage. Just remember, if you hear a strange noise while driving, it’s probably not a ghost—just your storage bins settling in.
5. Use Hanging Organizers
Hanging organizers are great for maximizing closet space. Whether it's for shoes, hats, or towels, these organizers can keep everything in its place. Just be careful not to hang your hopes and dreams on them—they’re strong, but not that strong.
6. Label Everything
Labels are a lifesaver when it comes to staying organized. Use them on bins, containers, and even board games to know exactly where everything belongs. It’s like having a personal assistant who never takes a day off or asks for a raise.
7. Opt for Compact Appliances
Smaller appliances are perfect for RV living. Consider getting an RV-sized Instant Pot or waffle maker to save space. Just because they’re compact doesn’t mean they can’t cook up a storm—just maybe not a hurricane.
8. Decant Items
Decanting items like cereals and snacks into smaller containers can save a lot of space. Plus, it keeps everything fresh and organized. Just be sure not to decant your morning coffee into a cereal box—trust me, it’s a recipe for disaster.
