Double your RV storage with these dual, duo solutions

What do I like more than finding a great RV storage solution? Finding that they are sold in a two-pack!

Recently, I’ve been rethinking our RV storage and am happy to report that great products have come on the market since we bought our original RV storage solutions. It shouldn’t be a surprise. New products hit the market daily, and if you never look, you’ll never know!

Take a look at the following storage “duos” and see if you can find ways to double up your RV storage, too!

Why two-pack storage makes sense

Buying two identical organizers has some clever advantages for RV living:

• You can place one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom and maintain a consistent look.
• If you travel with a buddy, you can use one organizer and let your travel partner use the second one.
• In many compact spaces, the narrow width of two small units works better than a larger one stack-unit.

Towel rack combo

This two-pack set is a great RV storage solution. You could use one in your kitchen as both a towel rack and a hidden storage spot for aluminum foil, cutting boards, cooking spray, and more. Turn the rack around and keep spices, oven mitts, and other supplies at your fingertips, while that damp dishtowel dries out of sight (inside the sink cupboard).

Put the second rack/shelf combo in the RV bathroom, where an extra towel rod is often lacking. Inside the unit, you could stash a hair dryer, air freshener spray, and more.

Expandable shelving

Another great RV storage duo is this adjustable shelving. This particular set is made of metal, which I know adds more weight. However, the plastic ones I’ve had often fail. If they become dislodged during travel days, the plastic can crack or break. Packing too much onto plastic shelves can also cause them to fail. These metal shelves expand from 17 inches to 31.5 inches, hold 40 pounds, and work well in several RV locations.

In the living room, the shelves can make use of awkward, narrow places to form a bookshelf, a shoe shelf, or a place to put travel magazines.

In the kitchen, the expanding shelves can form extra shelves. They are sturdy enough to hold canned goods or a boxload of spices. You can install the shelf vertically between the countertop and the kitchen cupboard bottom to form a divider. Use it to organize mail, campground information, travel brochures, and more.

The shelves also work in those narrow bedroom closets if you prefer shelving rather than open or hanging storage for clothes.

Dual, duo storage

These storage boxes not only come as a two-pack, but they also each feature two separate storage spaces. I plan to use them under our RV bed for off-season or seldom-used clothing items. I like the fact that the space is divided into two sections. It’s better to contain T-shirts because the stacks can’t tip over. Other uses may include storage for hobby supplies and toys.

The storage space is enlarged when you remove the T-shaped divider. The bigger storage space could hold bed or bath linens quite easily. Best of all, the box folds when not in use.

Sold singly, but duo design

This RV storage solution isn’t sold as a two-pack, but its multi-feature design makes it worth mentioning. You see, it features open shelving that is accessible on the side and additional closed storage in the front of the unit.

This RV storage solution is perfect for those narrow “what do I do with this awkward space” spots in an RV. (It’s under 16 inches in width.) You can display daily-use items on the open shelving, hide items and stash extras in the closed cabinet.

In the RV bathroom, this storage unit fits perfectly between our sink and the wall. I can place often-used items on the open shelving, while small items like hair ties, clips, and combs can find their “home” inside the cabinet. I plan to store extra toilet tissue in the closed bottom cabinet along with bath cleaning supplies.

Tips for best results

• Measure carefully. Many RVs have odd cabinet depths and heights. Ensure the footprint of your organizer will fit snugly and allow door/drawer clearance.
• Use non-slip liners underneath the units and inside drawers if needed, to prevent items from sliding around during travel.
• Secure the storage units to a wall or cabinet when possible, especially if the item is freestanding.
• For under-sink use: Consider plumbing interference (pipes, valves) before ordering. Choose units that either avoid the pipes or have cut-outs.
• Stay lightweight: In an RV weight matters, so look for units with good storage but minimal added weight.
• Keep access in mind: For travel days you might want to put less-used things lower/behind and daily-use items in the easier to reach spots.

Why duo packs work

According to RV organization experts, storage that secures items during travel, uses vertical space well, and keeps clutter down not only makes the rig more functional, but it also enhances comfort and safety.

When you have matching units (two-packs), you create symmetry and repeatable systems, and you’re less likely to have one “odd” item without a storage “home.” The freestanding multi-feature cabinet fills those weird, empty spaces in your RV and turns wasted zones into usable storage.

The goal? Less time spent rummaging for items, less stress, and more time relaxing and enjoying your trip.
