What to Look for When Purchasing Interior RV Accessories

Buying interior RV accessories is an absolute necessity whether you travel part-time or you live in your RV year-round since it can make the difference between being comfortable and not. Whether you had in mind purchasing accessories to help create a functioning kitchen to cook in or you would like to buy a few accessories to improve the appearance of the interior of your RV, it's important that you keep in mind the importance of saving space and making the most out of the square footage that you have.

Since maximizing space should be your top priority when choosing any accessories to be bought for your RV, it makes sense to look for collapsible items and things that can be stored away without lacking in the quality that you would expect. Some of our favorites are the Dirt Devil RV Central vacuum with is small footprint, out of sight installation and incredible suction and Spice Clips with their simple design, but uncanny ability to save space by storing spices in a convenient way.

Anyone that owns a RV knows firsthand just how cramped the space can feel with the introduction of accessories that are not designed for smaller spaces. If you need to purchase an ironing board, for example, you should opt for a model that can be hung onto the back of a door or be collapsed into a compact size for storage. Keeping an eye out for accessories that are able to fit away for storage without a problem should ensure that you're able to maximize the space.

Whether you're looking for decorative accessories or ones that serve a purpose, it's important to consider whether or not the purchase is necessary. Since you want to make your RV feel like home, but don't want the space to feel cramped with tons of clutter, it's often best to choose accessories that you feel are essential to the appearance and function of your RV.

Keeping Your RV's Kitchen In Order Even On Those Rough Roads

Trying to keep things in there place while traveling in an RV can be a challenge and that especially holds true for the kitchen area.  If your traveling with a trailer you probably cringe when you hit that big bump or that crazy entrance to a gas station.  And when your in a motorhome you get the unpleasant sounds to go with the calamity that is occurring in your draws, cupboards and on counters.  So we thought we would feature a few RV accessories that will help keep dishes, cups and silverware in there place. 

When it comes to keeping silverware in place, one item that our we find indispensable is the Camco Adjustable RV Cutlery Tray. Unlike other trays, this one is capable of being adjusted and locked into place. So even if the silverware drawer pops open on a wicked turn, the cutlery shouldn't go airborne. Each one can fit into drawers that are anywhere from 9 inches to 15 inches wide and 10 6/8 inches in length.

Knife Safe

If you need a narrower model, you could go with the standard Cutlery Tray instead. It is 7 inches wide and 11 inches long but doesn't adjust or lock down. Therefore, to keep the tray from sliding about you may want to pair it with Rock-N-Roll Motion Proof Putty, Velcro Hold Down Tabs, RV Designer Drawer Locks or Industrial Strength, Sticky Back Tape.

Whether your traveling with little ones or just like to stay organized we’d also recommend the Knife Safe. It is designed to hold and separate the knives in a way that keeps them sharp and secure. Simply affix the safe to a wall or the inside of a cabinet. Then slide your knives into the designated holes and hit the road.

From large and small plate holders to refrigerator bars, we have all types of RV accessories to keep your kitchen from becoming a disaster area while traveling to your favorite campground.  Check out our RV kitchen accessory category for hundred's of items designed to keep you organized.
