Since RV kitchens are smaller than the kitchen you have at home, it can sometimes be a challenge to make sure you have enough space for all you need. You may need to get creative about how to organize your supplies and how to create storage space. It mostly involves making use of and maximizing all the available space you have, as well as prioritizing what you need over what you do not. Luckily there are a number of RV kitchen accessories available to help with that.

One tip is making use of vertical space. There are over the door and over the cabinet door accessories that add storage area. You can also make use of wall space using wall mounted accessories and hooks. Take advantage of the under cabinet and under table space with add-a-drawer kits. Make use of the empty areas, such as storing things in the microwave when it’s not in use, or sliding cutting boards in-between the cabinets. Drawer organizers can add multi-level storage. If you're feeling handy and willing to do a little remodeling, panels with empty space behind them can be turned into storage areas. Stove top and sink covers can add food prep countertop space, so more of your actual countertop can be used to store small appliances and other items.

Another tip is to think about how much you will need to have with you. What you need to have stored in your kitchen is dependent on how often you’ll be cooking, how often you boondock, and how often you’ll be travelling. Make note of what you can live without before taking up room with too many items you won't needing.

Having products that are easy to store or are collapsible can maximize space. Nesting bowls and cookware can be stacked together. Dispensers for bowls, plates, cups, napkins, or trash bags can be installed under cabinets or behind cabinet doors. This can save space on storing dishes in your cabinets. There are collapsible measuring cups, dish drainers, bowls, food storage containers, and drinking cups that can be flattened down when not in use. Using caddies on the countertop to store small items like condiments, spices, or coffee pods can also free up space in your cabinets and drawers.

Creating storage space for your RV kitchen can be made easier when you have the right supplies and a little ingenuity. The less time you spend having to find places for all your kitchen supplies, the more time you’ll have enjoying your next RV trip.
