Some storage ideas for newbies

Postby retiredhappy » Thu Sep 10, 2009 11:25 am

With all the newbies on the forum I thought I'd show some of my storage ideas.

I use cut-to-size cheap shoe bags on almost every cabinet door. They make great storage for all sort of stuff.

Image

In my Class C when I'm parked and my curtain is put up to close off the driver's area of the rig I had a place to put my Indian pottery. I bought two shelves at Lowes and I lay them across the opening. When I'm driving I lay them behind the driver's and passeenger's seats (That's why I bought two rather than one large piece of wood.

Image

I use my computer at the dinette and was constantly looking for a pencil, pen , etc so I bought these drawers from Camping World. I keep my phone charger in them, too.

Image

I bought a stackable cabinet (Walmart) and some of those plastic drawers and put them under the dinette for my printer paper, stapler, etc. When I drive I bungee cord them in place to the supports of the dinette.

Image

I store a couple of small pans on the inside of my kitchen cabinet doors. Three cuphooks and a small bungee cord keep them from swinging when you open the door.

Image

Hope some of these tips are helpful.

Thanks for sharing the storage ideas - I've wondered how those drawers worked under and attached to the table - I may have to invest in some of those.

Karen, I like those under the table drawers. Looks like handy storage.

One of my favorite things has been buying the knife holder that fits on the inside of a kitchen cabinet door (like your skillet idea).

I guess I'm having "scary-itis" :o as I have ideas for storage, but hate to think of putting holes everywhere. I guess if I want to make her mine I should just go ahead. :) Are the first holes the hardest!? :x :?

For a long time I didn't do things to my RV because I might ruin the "resale" value. Then I finally decided its my home, I'm going to be living here for a long time so I needed to "make it mine." I painted the cabinets and hung stuff and put up shelves. Do what makes you happy.

Those drawers under the table are a great idea.

THANK YOU THANK YOU! I can use all the advice I can get. I am making notes for when I am among the road warriors! I can't wait! But i'm gonna have to as I am taking care of my parents until the end. God only knows when that will be,, they are 87, but I am patiently waiting, caring and planning. Keeps me off the streets! (except when we are back and forth to one dr. or another!)

Thanks again! J
