As Sister Felicia taught us in 6th grade, fold it, don't crumple it! We had to fold papers before they hit the trashcan. We use the same principle in the MH - fold the dirty clothes. Takes up less space.

Bins, bins and more bins.
Of course a big thumbs up to plastic bins. Open any compartment and you've got bins. Those stackable plastic drawers work great too. We travel with 2 to 3 kids. Each has their designated bins and/or drawers.
Hidden Sewer Hose Storage
I built a sewer hose storage area off of my tank compartment. I got tired of cramming the hose and connectors in the compartment, and I didn't want to stick it in the bumper to rust. Now the hose and connectors dissapear into an access panel on the side of the compartment, and I have room to store an extra hose. I keep a 20ft hose and spare 10ft hose that can be used by itself or connected to the other for 30ft when needed.
The storage tubes are made from vinyl fence posts from Home Depot. I cut them to size, drilled holes for drainage and venting, and painted everything black to give it a custom look.
Here are some pictures in case you want to do the same:

Tito,
I am impressed. How do you keep the caps on?

I access the primary hose from the inside of the storage compartment, but can also drop it out of the back if I need to by removing the rear cap.
To keep the rear caps on, I have a single eye screw on the side that secures the lid (see photo). It's just finger tight, so I can easily unscrew it and pop the cap off to remove the spare hose.
