The multitude of thin power and charging cables for phones, tablets and computers need to be accessible, of course, but they can easily end up in a tangle, especially if you only have a few outlets to choose from like we do in RVs. Command hooks can help tame that mess.
I decided to tackle a cabinet in our RV that had an electrical outlet in it. It was the perfect place to attach the Command hooks so I could get to the cords while using any of our devices.
I first added a multiple-outlet plug, like the one above, with USB ports to the standard two-outlet receptacle. The one I chose had the added advantage of also being a surge protector. I then purchased extra-long charging cables and plugged them into the outlets.
I added the Command hooks spaced at intervals across the cabinet, which allowed some room around the cords.
Now each cord has a place to go (and neatly, I might add) so the cords won’t get tangled together and I won’t spend half the day untangling them! And, they’re out of sight when not in use, which is an added bonus.

I use the empty toilet paper or paper towels rolls to hold cables/cords that are all running in the same direction. For instance, there are several different cords to and from the TV, Wally, and the plug in. The tp roll helps keep them together better.
Thank you, Nanci, for the suggestion! Thank you, Emily, for re-running this helpful article! Have a great weekend and safe travels!
