Organize your RV and safely travel with these must-know ideas for using dollar store items.
HACK 1: MESS BAGS So, you did the environmentally-responsible thing and brought your own plates and cookware. Great! But, what happens when you need to wash and dry these items? Toss them in a mesh bag hung from a tree branch, and, voila, dry dishes. OR you can use the bag to hang your fruit & veggies to keep them off your countertop.HACK 2: POOL NOODLES Cover up hazardous knife blades with a foam pool noodle. OR cut a long slit into one and install it on your slide bottoms so you don’t require stitches on the top of your head from hitting it.HACK 3: GLOW BRACELETS Add glow bracelets to your tent or awning stake for night time safety. Tripping over them isn’t. Pick up some cheap glow-in-the-dark bracelets and string them along the stakes to prevent faceplants when the sun sets.HACK 4: DRY ERASE BOARD What are we doing today? What’s our campsite number? Who is going fishing? Grocery list? Answer all of these questions and more by using a small dry-erase board as a campsite message board. This comes in handy, particularly with large groups. HACK 5: SHOWER CAP = FOOD COVER Pesky bugs can ruin a camping vibe if you let them. So, don’t let them! Keep the good vibes going by using a shower cap to protect food from flies.HACK 6: LANYARD = SOAP OR SANITIZER HOLDER Whether your campsite has an enclosed shower or not, chances are shelf-space will be limited (or non-existent).

Just pour your seven favorite spices into a daily pill organizer and leave those awkward bottles at home. When you’re camping, saving space is everything.HACK 9: PLASTIC TUBS Keep your drawers organized and your items handy when using small tubs.
