RV Bathroom Storage Ideas

Let’s dive into RV bathroom storage ideas so that you can make your camper bathroom organized.

RV storage solutions and RV hacks for bathroom

First up is our favorite and simple over the door hangers we found online. There are the simple plastic hooks we show below or even a rack that can hang over your door

Going back to one of the best camper storage ideas is to use ALL of your space. The back of a door is a great space-saving way to hang and store your towels.

Simple small shampoo and conditioner containers with suction cup sides can be great for use in your RV shower. They won’t hang on an RV shower curtain but they will often stick to your shower walls.

RV organizers for your shower can be especially helpful such as shown below.

If you’re looking for travel trailer organization ideas for your bathroom, check out what our friends Ashley and Nathan did in their bathroom below.  They not only invested in some great bathroom shower bags from Ebags, they also found these cute dog tail hooks from IKEA.

Also having space for your cleaning supplies should also be a priority on your RV.

If you don’t have enough room on your over-the-bathroom door hangers for your towels, another smart RV organization idea is to buy this towel rack from IKEA and install it high up in your shower so you can place your towels up high when not in use.

This metal rack above our RV bathroom is also great for keeping wet towels and rags.

RV Kitchen Organization

Looking for RV kitchen storage ideas? Look no further as we have so many camper storage hacks for almost any RV kitchen including shelves, paper towel holders, RV spice rack ideas, and where to store your extra food.

Our first tip is to find shelves for any extra counter space that allows for things to be stacked. They can make great produce shelving on your counter. Click here to check them out.

Another great RV kitchen hack is to use reusable spice containers that fit on short shelves to hold your dry goods.

Or, you could even use a 5-gallon pail with a lid to hold your extra flour and dried goods if you have a place for it. It will help keep any critters from coming into your RV to make a home.

Using simple black clips on an over the door towel holder on the inside of a cupboard makes for a great spot to hang dry your wash cloths and sponges.

Below, you will see a few great RV kitchen organization hacks.

Use some small command hooks like these to place hooks under countertops so that you can hang your towel to dry. Be sure to use microfiber kitchen towels that don’t get smelly easily. 

If you look to the left of the counter, you’ll see how simple magazine holders are used in the extra floor space for their leftover container lids.

Below, you’ll notice that the paper towel holder is hung on the side of the wall instead of under a cabinet. While they used IKEA shelves as spice racks, yet I’ve seen these spice racks used in RV kitchens as well.

An RV organization tip that I often repeat is to use all of your space, and that includes open vertical space too. Look below to see the self-used to hold fruit. Simple,  yet useful!

Shelf for RV Kitchen

A produce stand could also be a great addition to your RV kitchen if you have space under a cupboard, you could attach it to the underside of a cabinet instead of using the stand it comes on.

Oftentimes using drawers can be helpful for storing your RV kitchen dishes. We especially love investing in glass cups that can also be used as coffee mugs and leftover containers with lids like these.

If you have a bit of wall space then you can buy a magnetic strip to hold your knives, scissors, and other kitchenware. Just remember to take them down on travel days. 

RV kitchen knives storage

RV fridge organization can be made easy with a few bins that fit your RV refrigerator. First, take measurements before you purchase anything as not all RV fridges are the same size.

Sometimes you need to add in an extra shelf from IKEA, Amazon, or another store to help you fill up what I like to call ‘dead space’.

Other times,  you just need to organize your RV shelves and cupboards well. Using wire shelves in a cabinet can help you fit more food in your kitchen cupboards.

RV Organization Accessories For Shoes

Shoes can be a problem when finding storage in an RV or motorhome. So, how do you store shoes in an RV?

I love how my friend Ashley uses a bin at the foot of her bed frame to hold her boots and an over-the-door towel hanger to hold her shoes on the back of their bench. Or, you can use a typical behind the door shoe hanger if you have a sliding/pocket door like we do in our Class C Motorhome.

We mostly place this hanging shoe storage on our front door so that whenever we need to go out or get inside the RV, it’s going to be a convenient spot.

  2. I would love to know how to hang shelves, knick knacks, storage items on the walls? I just bought a new 24ft and I am scared to nail or screw anything in the walls. Wires, pipes, who know is back there. And also resale would go down w holes in walls.
    Love all your ideas, and your adventurous spirit!
    Thanks

  3. Hi! Love your blog!!! But we need some help…we have a 21 ft Coachman Freelander. We realize we have a “void” in the under storage…the back end of the RV…..is there any way to put a “shelf” in this area….we have our water hoses and black water stuff….but we have room “above” all this stuff…..how can we use that area efficiently? thanks!!

    • What a creative way to think about using all of your space. I’m sure if you use some lightweight wood or PVC pipes you might be able to build your own shelf. Just try not to add too much weight, and be sure to look at your CCC of your RV. Best of luck!
