What to do with that little overhead cabnet..

[SargeW]

OK guys, I am kind of a organization nut with things in the MH. All of my outside bins are fitted with slide out trays, shelves, or tool hangers to keep all my stuff easy to find and easy to access.

The one I am scratching my head over is that cabnet over the drivers seat. It's about 6" deep, 8" high, and about 30" long. I have various remotes in there for the tv, stereo and such now, but they are just stuffed in there. Have you guys came up with a good way to utilize that space? Trying to organize the cabnet to make everything accessable is tough. I am trying to avoid just having a bunch of baskets next to each other.

My wife got some of those small plastic baskets for me...I have one behind each of those doors....filled with 'stuff.'

[rebelsbeach]

I use a combination of the little baskets and clear Sterlite containers with lids...

I got some of them at Target and some of them at Wally's World...

My storage "issue" is the very small cabinet right over the entrance door as you walk in the coach.
It's only a couple inches deep,(about as deep as an iRV2 sticker is tall as that's what is in there...)

Same thing was on my Vectra....shallow cabinet in that space....same as over the driver's side window.

I added several wood strips put velcro on the lower ones for the remotes and on the upper strips I put l-shaped cup hooks and put cards and keys there on the hooks. Nothing falls out and you can look and see if something is missing as i used the emblossing tape below the strip to label them.

The little cabinet above the driver on our Journey is our "Library" ... ours is just the right depth for paperbacks, bird guides, flower books, etc.

[SargeW]

I think I may go with a combo of baskets for the little stuff and velcro for the remotes. I was considering building some mini shelves to stack some stuff on, but may be more work than benefit.

It's tough being a "serial organizer".

Both the driver's and passenger's side cabinets iin our Vectra will hold CDs jewel cases very nicely. I like the idea of using the one over the door for bird books, etc.--I'll have to try that out.

CD cases are a good idea there,but I can't teach the bird to read!!


Sarge, the wife and daughter are used to me "organizing" with the plastic totes by now...

I'm actually getting ready to REDO the coach basement storage and I just got the coach in JULY!!

CD cases and DVD cases fit in ours. An office style bookend with a non-slip bottom does a great job of holding them upright.

I have add a strip of plastic parts bins for screws, bulbs, fuses, --- great to have all small parts in one place.
