1. Folding Laundry Basket
One of my favorite space-savers is the folding laundry basket. It hangs on the wall or door. When I found this clever solution it’s been an absolute game-changer! It has two compartments that let me sort lights and darks with ease.
When not in use, it folds completely flat against the wall or door, freeing up precious floor space that’s essential in tiny RV bathrooms and living areas. I’ve hung it over the toilet, on the back of the bathroom door, and even in the bedroom when needed for longer trips.
2. Compact Sink Organizers
These ingenious L-shaped organizers have revolutionized my under-sink storage situation! They fit snugly around pipes, garbage disposals, and other awkward cabinet obstacles, maximizing every last inch of what would otherwise be wasted space. The adjustable top rack ensures a perfect fit in my RV’s tiny sink cabinet. Moreover, they’re easy to clean. Hollow baskets allow for ventilation and drainage to help prevent musty smells.
I use the organizers to neatly store cleaning supplies like spray bottles and brushes. Also sometimes l put there some toiletries like shampoo bottles and bars of soap. I’ve even used them for kitchen items like dish soap and sponges when my RV galley storage was full.
3. Wall-mounted Shelves
Say goodbye to cluttered countertops with these genius damage-free wall basket shelves! A friend of mine shared this genius hack with me. He turned out to be not only a great co-owner of an SEO company but also a genius camper. And it’s been an absolute lifesaver for adding extra storage in my tiny bathroom.
The super-strong adhesive stickers let you mount the durable metal baskets securely on various surfaces, from tile to glass to mirrors – no tools required! I have a few hung on the bathroom walls to store small toiletries like makeup, cotton balls, and hair ties. I also use one for holding clean washcloths and hand towels within easy reach.
4. Compact Bathroom Toothbrush Organizer
This space-saving toothbrush holder set is an absolute must-have for any RV bathroom. It mounts seamlessly on mirrors or tiles with the included heavy-duty adhesive strips, keeping your toothbrushes and toiletries organized without taking up valuable counter space that’s so precious in tiny RV bathrooms.
The ventilated design with hollowed-out cups and bottom allows for excellent airflow to keep everything dry and hygienic between uses. No more wet, musty toothbrushes! The set comes with three colorful cups that add a fun pop of color to my basic RV bathroom and plenty of storage for a family’s toothbrushes, toothpaste, face wash, and other essentials.
5. Hanging Hooks and Loops
My friend Mia shared this simple yet brilliant storage hack with me last summer. It’s been an absolute lifesaver for keeping towels and washcloths within reach in my tiny RV bathroom. These sturdy iron and cotton clips can hold up to 2 lbs, so I use them for hanging damp bath towels or hand towels to dry or looping a washcloth over the toilet handle or cabinet knobs.
They’re incredibly versatile – I’ve hung them on doors, shower rods, you name it. I’ve even used them for outdoor camping adventures to hang wet swimsuits, towels, or dishcloths off my rig’s ladder or awning arms to dry in the sun. The strong grip prevents towels from blowing away.
6. Over-the-door Organizer
If you have little ones traveling with you, this over-the-door organizer is an absolute must-have for staying organized in a tiny RV nursery or bathroom. It’s been an actual sanity-saver on family RV trips! It boasts ample storage with five roomy bins perfect for diapers, wipes, toys, bottles, and more baby essentials, as well as ten side pockets for smaller necessities like pacifiers or diaper creams.
The thickened cardboard and fiberglass construction prevents sagging, even when fully loaded with up to 44 lbs of supplies. I can’t tell you how many times this organizer has saved my wife from tearing my tiny RV bathroom apart looking for a stray diaper or toy!
7. Folding Clothes Dryer Ditch
Forget the energy-guzzling RV dryer and try this eco-friendly folding drying rack instead. It’s gentle on your clothes, helping them last longer, and can hold a full load of laundry while taking up minimal space when not in use. Made from lightweight yet sturdy steel with a rustproof white finish, it has an impressive 32-pound weight capacity.
I keep it tucked away in a closet or corner and simply unfold it on laundry days. The accordion-style design extends to create a generous drying rack but folds down to a slim, compact unit about 6 inches wide for easy storage.
