Wardrobe Space

You probably won't like this answer, but my DW asked me to trade for a new FW that had lots of wardrobe space. Of course, I obliged her.

Get a fiver with bedroom slide out. That will get you a large closet all across the front of the fiver.

You probably won't like my answer, either: we've got a ton of bedroom cabinets (a whole slide-worth).

I've looked at your floorplan and I can't imagine, besides using the overhead cabinets above your bed, where else clothing could go.

Do you have any under-bed space? You could install some drawers there. If you are short people, consider adding a shelf all around the bedroom above the windows.

Or become nudists. Poof: problem solved!

As a fulltimer you do not need "a lot" of clothes. Just remember that the people you see today do not know you wore that same shirt yesterday.
just sayin

When we first began to full-time we had a fifth wheel with a big living room slide but without a bedroom slide and only shirt closets. Within 6 months we traded it in for a fifth wheel with the big living room slide and a bedroom slide so we could have decent hanging space. I also put wire shelves at each end of the closet. We didn't pack a lot of clothes but enough we used all the space we had.

So I would recommend you look at a bigger rig with a floor plan you can live in. It's really important that folks realize that fulltiming is a lifestyle and it is NOT camping.

Obviously Chip doesn't have a DW!

I would suggest you fold most of your clothes...t-shirts, shorts, sweat pants, jeans etc. They can go in drawers, or you can put shelves in one of your closets and put the folded clothes on the shelves. You can get those square cloth storage bins for sox, underwear etc if you don't have enough drawer space. You don't need full length wardrobe for anything but long coats and dresses which you undoubtedly won't need when fulltiming. You can store those rarely worn items under your bed.
It's not ideal, but it's cheaper than buying a new RV.
We plan on spending the majority of the time in locales where it's warm enough to wear shorts/capris and short sleeve shirts.

this is my favorite answer... ;-)

you can do vacum seal bags..mashed flat..

After retiring, I gave suits, Sport coats, slacks, ties etc. to GoodWill, the dress shirts are never ironed nor do our jeans, tops, T shirts. WE wear tennis shoes and the wing tips are gone!

You will find that most RVr's go casual (but not all).
