RV'ers Can Create Organized Space in The Bedroom
Closet bursting at the seams, clothes strewn all over the bed and shoes scattered all over the floor. Is this your RV bedroom? It used to be mine!
Let’s face it, RV bedrooms are not known for their large closets and ample storage space! Moving from a regular bedroom into a much smaller RV bedroom requires some organizing and de-cluttering on your part, but it can be done. With a little RV closet storage help, you can make the most of your space and minimize frustration.
If you’re curious or in a hurry:
✅ This pack of thin but powerful hangers is super popular for fitting more clothes in your camper closet! They are also non slip so nothing falls on the floor! (Is there anything worse than constantly picking clothes up off the floor?) They are one of our must have storage solutions for your camper or travel trailer.
I’m guessing a haven of messiness is not what you were looking for when you moved into an RV. Your RV bedroom should be a place that you can escape to after a strenuous day of hiking to relax. It should be a place that feels like home, (a smaller home, but still home)
So, after years of experience, trial and error, and testing many RV storage solutions, I have found 10 clever ways to organize your RV bedroom and turn it into a place you will love. These RV bedroom ideas will really help you to maximize space.

Organizing a small master bedroom is not that hard to do once you have the right accessories.
1. Use Hanging Organizers Where You Can
I have several of these hanging organizers in my RV, I use one in the kitchen for snack overflow, and one in our RV bedroom for socks and underwear. This hanging organizer fits so many RV storage needs we have living in a tiny space – toiletries, makeup, baby items. These have lasted me over four years, which I didn’t expect for the price. This was one of those great RV idea and is highly recommended.

2. Get The Best Clothes Hangers For The RV
Camper closets don’t hold that many clothes so in order to fit enough clothes for full time living, you need a thin hanger to fit more clothes in. This is one of those simple space saving RV ideas. I can fit pants, shirts, and t-shirts in mine for the season I am in. I pack the rest of my clothes under the bed until I am ready for them.

3. Storage Ideas For RV Closets- Hanging Hamper
One of the big ways to organize your RV bedroom is to get all clothes off the floor and into a hamper. In my fifth wheel, I have space to store a collapsible hamper in my closet, which has worked well for over four years! This hanging hamper is awesome and it gets everything off the floor. When it’s laundry time, remove it from the hooks and take it with you.

4. RV Shoe Storage Ideas
When we moved into our RV, I had already purged 95% of my shoe collection (boy was that hard to do)! Yet I still brought a pair of sneakers, casual shoes, flip flops, plus Frank’s AND the kids shoes. That’s a lot of shoes!!! You want to have your shoes right? But it’s hard to figure out how to store shoes in an RV.
I needed somewhere to fit them all, originally we had them in a container like this one. We kept them outside, underneath the rig. That worked fine but some of my shoes I didn’t want to be outside so I purchased this for underneath the bed in the RV bedroom.
For those of you with little space, again these hanging organizers will work perfectly for you, and it gets more stuff off the floor!

6. RV Under Bed Storage Ideas
A full time rving wardrobe will require clothes for all seasons, which will not all fit into the closet. If you need a place to store extra blankets, or winter clothing, shoes etc, under the bed in an RV is the perfect storage area. However we still want to keep it organized under there! These vacuum space saver bags work really well for RV clothes storage, as do these see through totes. Both are great RV storage space saving ideas.
Buying the see through totes helps me to see what is stored in the box at all times.

Immediately the dresser looks untidy until I clean it up! I bought this organizer for him, it fits nicely on the dresser and can be put in a drawer on RV travel day. Works like a charm.

Love these ideas. How do you hang the hanging storage bins in a pop up?
Find a logical spot to put some hooks- maybe on the door. Just lie the hanger flat for travel and hang it up when parked. We do the same- lie it on a bed for travel. There are some cool ideas out there for hanging bins off the underside of the extensions as well.
Exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately located in the UK. But I will say a very big thank you and I would have used your links had I been able
We appreciate you Alexandra and all of our friends “across the pond!” Hopefully the content is helpful (if not the links lol). Hoping to do a UK/EU visit soon! Grainne is missing her home town (Dublin)
I have a ton of questions….. we (my husband & I) oh and must not forget my puppy Remington will be leaving California and start our travel/adventure. We are selling the business and venturing out. Still trying to decide what sort of RV to buy….or even where is the first place we need to visit. I am sooooo in awe of you and your family…. I truly am a bit scared of the new life that we face…. But life is short.

Hey Monica,
Don’t fear- you will love it. You are correct, life is short.
Here is a good article we wrote filled with tips and things to think about. https://therovingfoleys.com/rv-tips/
Choosing an RV is tough, but fun. My advice is always to shop, shop, shop. Talk to a lot of people, see a lot of rigs. Eventually, the right one will speak to you and you will know.
Best of luck! Feel free to reach out with questions.
Hi Monica, seen and read your post, how are things going.. with start if your new adventure. I and hubby are in the same decision and It is very scary . Let me know how its going and any advise you may have or just to chat about things.

Not sure if you have already purchased a rig, but I suggest that maybe renting something first might be a good idea. RV Share is a good resource
My advice is to start small. We went from pop up to travel trailer to fifth wheel as we got more comfortable. I must admit our fifth wheel was a joy. I found it easier to hook up and tow. However, the journey to getting one was important. ( I could have skipped the pop up. I needed AC. )
OHHHHHH
I loved the video and your children are beautiful
Monica
Thanks Monica, we are thinking we will keep them LOL!
I’m constantly looking for clever ideas to help with making the bed! Because our mattress is wall to wall, like shown in your post, I cannot seem to ever get the top sheets secured and they pop off every single night. It’s a battle I’m sick of fighting! Any recommendations?
Hey Tina,
That doesn’t sound like fun! Have you tried zip sheets, where they basically hug the size of the mattress and don’t move again?
We did not use them but I know of lots of people who rave about zip sheets, they might work for you.

Beddy’s bedding is the way to go. A little pricey but definitely worth it in the long run with the tight spaces in an RV. Super easy and convenient.
Another great way to hang clothes in RVs is with childrens hangers because they are not so wide. I just “fold/hang” our shirts. It makes them easier to acess then in drawers and reduces fold lines.
Awesome idea Peggy, we use thin hangers which allow you to hang more clothes in your closet, ours are non slip too which keeps the clothes from falling off – another pet peeve of mine lol.
