My daughter was getting a little warm in her bunk during our last camping trip, so I decided to put her a fan in to keep the air flowing. I had been wanting to add a 12-volt fan to the main livin...

Our Target had some cloth-type hanging shelves, shoe boxes and hanging shoe rack in the area where you can find the $1 toys and such. I got some of the shoe boxes for $2.50 each. I don't know how durable they all are, but giving it a shot and might be worth it for some TT that only get used in the weekend, like ours.
We bought a see-through hanging shelf unit for our TT closet. It was too long, so I just trimmed the bottom shelf with regular scissors and it fits perfectly. There still was a lot of wasted space behind the unit, so I am using it to store extra towels and paper products we don't use every day.
One watchout in using the hanging type shelves is the weight that the clothes rod can handle. In our first Passport (2007 200QS) we loaded up the single closet in it with hanging clothes for the the three of us for a week and a half trip to Gulf Shores. By the time we drove from Missouri to Alabama we found one side of the curtain rod pulled out and laying in the bottom of the closet with all of our clothes on top of it. In our new camper (2010 Passport 300BH) we have a double pantry and only one side has shelves. As a result I built shelves in the shelfless side, but they are not attached to the thin walls of the pantry. They are designed to transfer the load of the shelves to the bottom of the pantry floor. May not be an issue for some campers, but a definite watch out in the Passports based on our experince.
