We also have a very small TT (see my signature). Here are some things that work for us:
*LABELED containers and removable Command Hooks are your friends when trying to organize in a small space!
*We hang up all shirt, pants, etc. in the way back of our SUV on a travel hanging rod. We just make sure to bring the next day's clothes into the camper the night before. Fortunately, we have enough cabinet space to store socks, underwear, shorts, bathing suits, and pjs in Sterlite containers above the bed.
*You can also keep labeled storage totes in your tow vehicle if you don't have storage in your camper.
*I took a see through plastic wall hanger for shoes and hung it on our bathroom wall using removable Command Hooks (it JUST fit, thank goodness!). It holds all of our personal items: deodorant, meds, hair dryer, comb/brush, etc. If wall space is limited, it can be cut carefully to fit a smaller space.
*We hung a shower caddy from a large water proof Command Hook on a wall in the shower to hold shampoo, condioner, soap, and razor. Our shower head is too small to hold the shower caddy safely.
*We purchased a 2-toothbrush holder from Camping World and attached it to a wall in the bathroom with the sticky tape it came with. We also bought a Kleenex holder from Camping World and attached it to a wall in the bathroom with the sticky tape it came with (I'm not a fan of screwing anything into the walls).
*We bought several Sterlite containers to store items that will fit in our cabinets (dishes, cups, food, silverware, etc.). We have under couch storage (built more like a dinette seat with lift up storage in our camper where we store larger things - coffee maker, electic skillet, etc.
We hung large removable Command hooks on a narrow wall just inside the camper's door for our dogs' leashes. We also used these hooks near the stove to hang potholders.
*Our bed is actually a dinette in our camper that we keep as our permanent bed, so we store big items under or on our bed during transit: tv, dogs's x-pen, etc. The cooler goes in the narrow aisle between the couch and fridge during transport.
*We have an outdoor camp kitchen and put our non-food items in it when we get to camp. This helps our small interior from feeling any more cluttered than need be. This includes cooking utensils, electric skillet, coffee maker, pots, pans, etc. We run a heavy duty extension cord right from the power poll to this area, along with a surge protector/outlets to avoid putting too much pressure on our camper's electric system. We rarely cook inside unless it's raining. We set it up under our Easy Up, and/or we cover it with a tarp to protect from rain between uses. The Easy Up also keeps us from using up valuable space under our small camper awning.
*If you use your bath tub for storage (snap on lid or sliding drawer Sterlite containers are an option), make sure you put something in the bottom of it to prevent scratching it. Old beach towels work well. Pack snuggly to avoid sliding and banging of items against the sides of the tub.
I'm sure I forgot some other things I've done, but you get the idea.
Have fun in your camper! You'll figure out the best storage mods for you as you go. After all, necessity is the mother of invention!
