95 pages and some great hints.
A couple of ours for the Truck Camper where space is very limited.
I have a funky trianglulated cabinet that is about 8" tall, 4" wide and 13" deep. It was worthless until I found some dense foam at the shop, cut to fit and it became a knife block (just stick the knives in the foam).
I hated opening cabinets after driving; I always had something bouncing off of my head as it fell out. To solve this, we purchased the Rubbermaid drawers that are stackable and put them in all cabinets and labeled them. Canned goods in one, coffee and tea in another, snack food, hardware, games etc. Haven't had a bump on the head since.
Stick up LED lights. Velcro'd them in all of my outside compartments and many of my oft used inside ones. Makes finding things at night a breeze (like the BBQ or fire starter) and also put some in the dinette so that coming in to use the head from campfire you don't have to turn on lights.
Put hooks near the rear door. One for Jeep keys, one for camper keys and one for truck keys. Now we know were all of the keys are if we need anything from the truck, jeep etc. Before it was.. where did I put those keys again?
Hooks in cabinets to hang kitchen towels.
Basket with non-skid on the bottom on the kitchen counter keeps garlic, onions and fresh fruit in it and it only takes up unused counter space beyond the sink near the window.
Made a shower grate out of leftover 2x4 for the outside shower so your feet don't get muddy. Doubles as a boot scraper for the step when in an actual campground (we primarily boondock).
