How To Organize an RV Basement

If you think you can't accumulate (and misplace) a lot of "stuff" in a space as contained as an RV, think again. 2013 marked our 10th year of full-timing, and we still can't always remember where we've stashed things, especially in the basement.

If you have the same problem we sometimes do, locating the wide variety of things you keep squirreled away in your RV, a selection plastic bins in various shapes and sizes can help a lot. They're typically made by companies like Rubbermaid or Sterilite and available at just about any Wal-Mart.

Bins not only keep things organized, but they keep liquids contained in the event of a leak. We also label each bin with the contents, making it easy to find just about anything, especially those rarely-used items that we haven't seen in years.

Here are a few quick & easy ideas for making your RV's storage area a little more user-friendly.



We don't pretend to be experts on any particular RV topic, and mostly know about maintaining our own rig. But many systems are the same on different RVs. The advice we give works well for us, but be sure to consult a professional technician if you're unsure about working on your own RV.
