Tips To Organize RV Kitchen
Before we diving into the essential items and organizers, here are a few specific tips that will help keep your RV kitchen tidy and organized:
Utilize Door Space.
In our Class C RV, our motorhome had a few doors to separate the bedroom, bunkroom, and bathroom. We used the door space to hang all our kitchen towels, oven mitts, and pot holders. And even other items to maximize the door space usage.
Make Use of Vertical Wall Space.
Another organizing small RV kitchen hack is to make use of your vertical wall space. We used this trick to mount extra shelves for our RV spice rack. This also helped keep the countertop clutter-free and kept everything organized.
