Class A and medicine chest items

[dmctlc]

What do people do with items that are in the medicine chest and under the sink when traveling in a MH since I could see things like Arrid, Shaving cream etc falling over. Is there a simple way to secure this or does everyone do what I did in the TT years put them in a plastic tote until I get there and then put them away. Just seems like a pain if your going on a long trip and stopping nitely someplace new. 🙂

After 13 years of traveling in my class A I never heard anything move in the cabinets if packed properly.

We have a hardware store called the Do-It-Center in California. They have a variety of plastic trays in clear and white in their housewares section. We found some that fit our cabinet. They're tall enough that stuff doesn't fall over.

Check out all the plastic ware available at Dollar Tree. I have several lined in the medicine cabinet - 3 in one direction & another lined in front. Makes for easy cleanup if anything does leak. I also use plastic cups (that I collect from restaurants we visit along our travels) to hold electric razor; another to hold toothpaste & toothbrush; etc. The cup keeps the razor from getting a fuzzy mess everywhere.

I do like the idea of using champagne boxes to hold stuff! Except my champagne doesn't come in a box!

I gave up on that battle about 6 RVs ago. I just got used to everything laying down and I no longer take the time to set it back up when camp. (soap we keep in plastic bags).

I may try some clear bins and get organized a little this year.

I'm not so high tech. I use the boxes my favorite champagne comes in.

I use Plastic ziplocks and travel bags of different sizes and shaving kits. Food wise our cabinets are pretty safe. One time I broke a quart of Olive Oil. Took 3 years to clean it up, kept coming out from under slider carpet.

I put non slip stuff on the shelves. That and the bar across the front, and everything is fine.

Man.... you don't even own the tackle from the fishing box? Nothing?? 🙂

I bought three bamboo silverware holders at Bed Bath & Beyond. They have a folding bamboo dish rack and these are supposed to hang on that. Three of the fit nicely in our cabinet and many smaller items now stand up without issue.

our Medicine cabinet is PACKED full
nothing ever falls over or spills inside
Occasionally something falls out when we open the door 🙂

I also have small plastic baskets that many things are in. The taller items fit tight and usually there is maybe 1 or 2 items , like deodrant the falls over. I just stand them back up when I open the door. Under cabinet, 1 square basket for smaller things, hairbrushes, combs, etc. All else just sits on the waffle weave shelf liner and doesn't go all over. Never had a problem with the under the sink at all.

Liquid soap dispenser always layed in the sink with the nozzle facing up when traveling... never leaked.

Medicine cabinet: Unless yours if very deep & most aren't, you just have to put things in there so there's no room to fall over. Load it up!

Other cabinets: A plastic shoebox size labeled for specific items such as 'first-aid', 'colds', 'extra toothpaste, brushes, floss', etc. works. Keep things of the same use together & they'll be easy to grab. The boxes can be easily stored under the sink. You don't use them very much.

Consider small trays with sides from WalMart, etc. Something like 5"x2" or whatever size your shelf is. Things will stay in it good.

Just pack carefully so there are enough items on the same shelf to secure against one another. One year I left liquid hand soap on the bathroom sink instead of putting it in the cabinet. Fell over and spilled everywhere. You never would have thought soap would be so hard to clean up. Big slippery mess. The floor was clean though. Now I remember to put it back in the cabinet. Our cabinets are built in a way to have a lip at the bottom to keep things from falling out when you open the door. On our ACE there is a pull out drawer under the shower pan that was intended as a set of pet bowls. Since they are waterproof plastic, it's a perfect place to store bar soap and shampoo.
