The basement of an RV can vary in size greatly. Ours is a huge pass-through, so we use a number of organizers to keep everything neatly packed and organized.

On the left side of the basement is where I keep our most frequently used items. I have three
lidded plastic bins that also fit nicely in the back of the truck. Each bin is organized based on activity. One bin contains all of our life jackets and towels for when we go kayaking. One bin contains a bag with swimming gear and a bag with beach toys. I call this our Beach Bin. And one bin contains a bag with a frisbee, football, slingshot airplanes, and other outdoor toys. It also contains our
Jet Boil and what we call our Help-A-Tron, which is a
4-in-1 power pack that can be used to inflate tires, jumpstart vehicles, etc. I call this our Park Bin. The idea is that if we're going to the beach, we can just grab the Beach Bin and put it in the back of the truck. If we're going kayaking, we can grab the Kayak Bin and put it in the back of the truck with our
kayaks.
The underside of the flip-up door has lots of usable space. Attach a
broom organizer and you can hang your mop, broom, and other stick cleaners on the door, out of the way. I didn't want to screw in the organizer, so I used
adhesive silicone to attach the organizer to the door and it worked great.
The side of the basement near the water hookups is hubby's side, so it get disorganized frequently, but I try to stay on top of it as much as he'll let me. We found that
plastic crates work well to contain utility items. One is for the electrical line,
30amp or
50amp. One is for the
water hose and
filters. We use a lidded plastic bin to hold the
sewer line to prevent it from touching anything else. We use
smaller, stackable, lidded plastic bins to organize extension cords, tire covers, and cleaning chemicals.
What kind of basement organization tips can you share?
