Don't ask me what I keep in the other drawers, cabinets, etc. I have a 2 page excel spreadsheet about what I keep in each and every drawer and nook and cranny in the TM and the truck. I can't help it, I'm a Virgo. We make lists. I'm prepared (sort of).

Over the sink I have plastic glasses, corelle coffee cups, coffee supplies, spices......my husband helps me take it off the wall - easy for 2 people. I bought a pop a towel the other day - my husband is going to mount rubber 'snubbers' on the 4 corners of the bottom so the towel bar 'mount' doesn't get smashed when it goes on the floor.

I keep pots and pans under the stove, plates and food in lower cabinets. We have a 3124, so I have totes in the lower deep cabinet to the right of the sink to make it easy to pull out items stored deep in the cabinet.

In our old 2720, I loved the storage under the booth.....I kept towels, folding chairs, and our outdoor mat there. The big storage area under the bed in the 3124 will have our electric heater, chairs, my coffee pot when traveling etc......in the 2720, the storage was a shelf - we kept clothing there.

I put towels in the cabinets when we travel to keep items from moving around too much......

have fun with your new TM - they are SO fun!

We bought a 2006 2720SL last week. We sold our pup yesterday . So we were taking our camping gear out of the pup and moving it to the TM. The door rack is holding coozies , mosquito spray , dog leash and a flash light. We are keeping paper goods in the cabinet under the stove. We are keeping cleaning supplies under the sink. Space is limited here so it helps to keep everything upright. We keep our ceramic coffee cups in a gallon size ice-cream container. We store this under the stove too. The cabinet in front of the bed will hold pillow, sheets and blankets. The drawers below the closet will hold our clothes. The cabinet over the sink will be our mini pantry. The storage under the couch will hold ceramic heaters , fan, camp chairs and misc camping items. The cabinet over the couch will hold misc stuff like playing cards , games, flashlight, books etc . The rear outside compartment holds 2 batteries, battery switch, water hose, coleman stove, mini tote with camping hardware, bungee cord, rope, string , extension cords, awning flapper and misc outdoor stuff. There is a good bit of storage if you manage it wisely. I will have 1 or 2 totes to toss in the back of my truck. These will hold charcoal , fire starter , fire cooking rack . Mainly dirty stuff that you don't want to keep in the camper.

We keep our bed made up when we close up, and put our pillows in the shower stall, so you may be able to free up the space under the bed for other things. I found the 3 drawers weren't enough, so I put our shoes on the bottom and pants/jeans on the shelf.......and my husbands cowboy hat!

Very good ideas above. The door rack is perfect for items you may want to grab quickly while outside. Bug repellent, flashlights, I even keep an extension cord in there until we arrive at the site.

We may be less organized than many of you, because we always pack our clothes in one or two suitcases, transporting these either in the truck or on the floor of the TM. When we setup, the suitcases go on top of a bed where they stay the whole time. Sometimes one suitcase gets shifted between the bed and the couch as needed. All the drawers stay full of utensils, blankets, sheets and other supplies.

We don't even have the sliding wardrobe in ours for some reason.

In the door rack we place our flip flops as I keep the wearing of shoes inside to a minimum and this allows us to grab our flip flops as we exit.

Above the stove cabinet is my hot pads, spices, foil, coffee.

Above the sink cabinet is paper plates, cups, glasses, napkins, paper towels.

In the pic you can see the hooks I found that fit over the cabinets perfectly. They are for over the door hooks. I have about 10 of them all over the camper.

We have racks of hooks inside the shower, outside the shower next to the wardrobe, and over the bathroom wall next to the sink. Helps us stay organized.

I have bunches of hooks, too!! Has anyone mentioned the over the door towel rack for the bathroom? On our first trip out in our 3124, I also want to bring a small magazine/paper holder next time. I also have multiple plate organizers in my cabinets, to maximize storage. We are using the last 'kitchen' cabinet (next to the 3 drawers under the wardrobe) for clothing now.....and I searched for a low tote for the lower cabinet so I could pull things out instead of getting down on my knees. Couldn't find anything that size, so I bought a foil oven liner, bent the end up for the correct size, and we can now pull our shoes out in a search......jury still out on that, we'll see......and I have a small 2 shelf organizer on the bathroom counter.

We also got a Breville toaster oven and installed it where the microwave opening is. Love the thing! It bakes, toasts, broils, warms etc. I have a small Keurig coffee maker on the counter, with the pull out drawer with k cups under it.

I'm really into organizing closets and space, so this saga will unfold....we need to maximize our storage in these little/big campers!!

Love the colorful shelves against your wardrobe!! Where did you find those? And I NEVER thought that the over the door hooks would fit over the cabinet ends......THANKYOU!! fun!

Oh, also, I have a couple of clear Command hooks on the side of the over the sink cabinet - for pot holders and a trivet. Adds some color, too......
