We just traded our Haulmark toter for a super C, so I'm loading and organizing the new one. I've got more storage space in this one, but I'm always looking for tips on the best use of available storage, ways to get more storage space and ways to organize stuff so we can fit more. CCC is not an issue at all; we can carry whatever we can fit in. Please share your storage tips or modifications. TIA.

I like my office supplies in those plastic drawers from Wally World. Alas, we don't have room for them in our little TT but I loved them in our MH.
Our dishes are stacked on their sides in one of those coated wire racks.
A hook rack (how to describe it?) that has a hanger on the top and inverted hanger hooks staggered all the way down. Great for hanging a bunch of caps or many other things.
Plastic bins for just about everything. The clear ones make it easy to see what you want.

Put adjustable height shelves in what was the coat closet across from the mid-kitchen. Created a remarkable amount of storage space & easily accessible.
We also use a lot of plastic containers. Took a while to find clear and locking containers that you could perfectly fill an overhead shelf with two per. We use some bigger, clear containers in the shelves mentioned above.

I made all my drawers longer in my TT. Like the ones under the closet use long 23" gliudes but only have a 14" drawer so I made new drawers that are now 22" long, That's 8 more inches for all our wash clothes and kitchen towels and stuff. I also made my 2 drawers in the kitcen longer I was able to add about 5" to one and about 8" to the other. Every inch halps. I'm thinking of cutting a hole in the back side of the sink base and iether framing it out or putting in a trash rool out for the garbage. When that is done you won't see or trip on any garbage can any more. I also mounted a knife set block in side the uppsr cabinet over the sink. We're also always looking for new places to find storage areas.

My tips, which I learned here, was to keep all my recreational stuff eg chairs, tables, grills, etc on the passenger side where you use it. Keep all your tools, hoses, ext cords, etc on the drivers side.
Make some custom shelves here and there for sat dishes, tripods, small stuff, so that the bottom of your storage bellies aren't full while the top half is empty.
Buy some clear storage boxes/drawers at Walmart BUT also buy a decent lable maker and make lables on the outside of whats inside. This is important!! So do it. Wondering where the male to male coax adapters are? NO MORE!!

Took out the pantry slide with it's little wire baskets and replaced it with 5 full slide drawers. There is a space large enough under the bottom drawer for larger items such as the Forman grill, etc. Left the pantry door so as to retain the same appearance.
also use plastic containers for storing in many of the odd spaces. Also have remade some of the drawers to make them longer. Since we don't have or use a TV in our bedroom, I put a door on the space and a couple of shelves inside for storing linens and towels.

Good suggestions above.
Another thought that has worked great for us: Don't bring so much stuff. We have (finally) realized that we can live just fine without 10 pots and pans, dinner service for 12, an extra kitchen sink, etc.
We don't need EVERYTHING that we have at home. We try to bring stuff that we actually use often, not just store or have "in case".
Enjoy your new rig.

One little thing that we did, was to get one of those suction-cup soap holders for a shower, and use it as the TV remote holder in the bedroom. I just stuck in on the mirror next to the bed. Holds my glasses too!
Plastic bins are one of man's greatest inventions! What would we do without them.....ok, cardboard boxes, but they aren't as nice!
I also like the little plastic drawers that go under the galley table, for cards, pencils, etc.
Liked the idea of extending the drawers! Thanks!

We use a lot of the 3M Command products: hooks, key holder, soap holder, and small shelves. They are great. And you take them off without leaving a mark or holes!
