10 Ways to Organize Your RV Kitchen

Why RV Kitchen Organization Is Essential

Space in an RV is limited, and having a disorganized RV can cause mental fatigue. Additionally, when the RV kitchen has plenty of clutter, it can lead to confusion and safety hazards while on the road. If you set up your RV to have convenient and efficient storage, you can keep Everything in its place, prevent food spills, and make cooking easier. At StorPlace Self Storage, we help RV owners store their RVs when they're not in use.

1. Use Stackable Bins and Containers

Maximize the space inside your cabinets. Stackable bins allow you to use vertical space wisely in tight RV cabinets. Containers that meet the dimensions keep Everything visible and accessible. They also prevent items from shifting during travel.

2. Install Magnetic Racks and Knife Strips

Consider purchasing a magnetic rack or holders for more room in your drawers. Then attach it to a wall or refrigerator. An underutilized organizational tool RV owners should be aware of is magnetic knife strips, which keep your knives secure and within reach without taking up counter space.

3. Add Hooks Using Command Strips

There is plenty of space on RV walls, cabinet doors, and ceiling space that most RV owners don't utilize. A helpful tool you should look into are command strip hooks or screwed on racks that are great for hanging oven mittens, measuring spoons, cutting boards, and dish towels. They can be easily installed without damaging surfaces. 

4. Use Stackable Cookware and Collapsible Items

You should consider purchasing collapsible mixing bowls, measuring cups, and dish racks, which are perfect for RV kitchens. Having pots and pans that stack also reduces clutter and saves valuable cabinet space.

5. Have Spaces for Cooking, Prep, and Storage

Divide your RV kitchen into multiple zones. This helps streamline tasks and prevent chaos. You should have all the tools near your countertop space, in a rack by the stove, and dry food items in a pantry zone.

6. Use Drawer Organizers

Without dividers, drawers in an RV can become a mess of tools. Small plastic or bamboo organizers keep silverware, tools, and extra cooking devices tidy.

7. Label Everything

When space is limited, labels make organization a lifesaver. Label containers, shelves, and bins so everyone knows where things belong. This is especially helpful when sharing your RV kitchen with others.

8. Store Bulky Appliances in a Storage Unit

You wouldn't want your RV cluttered with items. Bulky items like blenders, pressure cookers, or coffee machines can be kept in a storage unit at StorPlace on Charlotte Ave when not in use. This helps keep your RV light and efficient without sacrificing access to your favorite appliances.

9. Use Clear Bins for Pantry Items

Transparent bins are perfect for grouping pantry items like canned goods, snacks, or spices. They help you avoid overbuying and make it easier to see what you have (and what you're running low on) before each trip.

10. Clean Often and Adjust Seasonally

Before each road trip, assess what you need. Remove duplicate tools, expired food, or seasonal items you won't use. This simple habit can keep your RV kitchen fresh, functional, and ready for any adventure.
