If you own an RV, clever storage solutions are key to making the most of your small living area. With limited square footage, taking advantage of every inch of space available is important. But how can you maximize storage and keep everything organized? Here are tips and tricks to boost your RV storage and make your life on the road more comfortable and convenient.
Maximize RV Storage
1. Use Vertical Space for RV Storage
In an RV, vertical space is often underused. Install additional shelving or use hanging baskets to store kitchen items such as utensils, fruits, or spices. A magnetic spice rack is a great option for keeping jars secure while in motion. Use over-the-door storage or hooks to hang jackets, scarves, or towels. Hooks will be useful in the kitchen for dishtowels and potholders.
2. Invest in Multifunctional Furniture
Furniture in your RV should be multifunctional, such as a sofa bed or a table you can use for dining, work, or play. Purchase a set of folding or stackable chairs to tuck away when not in use. Another great option is a bench that doubles as storage for blankets and linens, and if buying new furniture, choose pieces with built-in storage areas.
3. Use Storage Containers
Invest in containers that fit different-sized items and are easy to stack and store. Clear containers are handy as you can see the contents without opening them to search for a particular item. Use labeled zip-close bags to contain cosmetics, art supplies, or snacks.
4. Get Creative with Empty Space
Maximize every nook and cranny of your RV and transform even the smallest spaces into storage areas. Use the corners of your RV as storage for folded clothes, extra linens, or food. Install slide-out racks or pull-out drawers in the space under beds or dressers for easy access to these areas.
5. Remove Clutter
Decluttering is an important part of maximizing your RV’s storage potential. Get rid of items you don’t use regularly. Donate, sell, or toss out these things to free up space. Having less clutter in the RV creates extra space and gives you more breathing room.
You’ll be amazed at the amount of storage space you can create in an RV. Keep your life on the road organized and stress-free with these tips and tricks. Every inch of space counts, and you can find many creative ways to make the most of your small living area.
