Getting creative with limited space
I am about 5 months away from starting full timing. I have been slowly getting ready for over a year now. I am starting to realize just how tight it's going to be in my little ol' Class B motorhome. As such, I am having to come up with low cost but very effective ways of making use of every inch of space.
Yesterday I build a simple but effective hanging laptop holder that simply hooks onto the overhead cabinet when open. Ir doesn't provide a perfect straight on view of the screen when laying in bed, but it's better than nothing.

Today I realized that I need more shelf space since stacking things only goes so far, especially duffel bags of clothes. I looked around the house (which doesn't have much left in it now) and spotted a cheap plastic shelf unit that works GREAT in the bed area. I tied some strings from it to existing hooks to keep it from falling over and it works fantastic! I can unlatch the ends of the strings from the hooks to move it to change the bed sheet. It'll be a lot of hassle but it makes use of the space very well. I can store extra bedding to the sides. I may get plastic totes to prevent the clean linens from collecting dust. I may also go with plastic totes in place of duffel bags for the same reason.
