🌸 Spring Cleaning & RV Organization: Declutter, Simplify, and Refresh Your Tiny Home on Wheels


ree

Spring brings new energy and a fresh start—making it the perfect time to reset your RV. Whether you're a full-timer living life on the road or a seasonal adventurer ready to roll, now’s the time to tackle that spring cleaning checklist and reclaim your space.

Living tiny doesn't mean living in chaos. Let’s walk through how to declutter, organize, and refresh your RV, so you can hit the road with less stress and more joy. And if you feel stuck along the way—don’t worry. Help is just a call away with Lilly’s Organizing (more on her below!).

🧼 1. Start with a Deep Clean: Reset Your Space from the Inside Out

After a winter of travel (or storage), your RV can accumulate dust, moisture, pet hair, and clutter. A good deep clean will not only make your space feel fresh but also help you inspect for wear and tear.

Spring Cleaning Checklist:

  • Vacuum and mop floors, especially around the slides and vents.

  • Wipe down all surfaces with non-toxic cleaners (don’t forget the ceiling fans and light fixtures!).

  • Scrub the kitchen and bathroom, including sinks, stovetops, showers, and fridge seals.

  • Wash window screens and polish interior windows.

  • Air out cushions and clean underneath furniture and beds.

Pro Tip for Full-Timers: Use this as a chance to inspect seals, look for water damage, and sanitize your fresh water tank.

🧹 2. Declutter: Purge What No Longer Serves You

RV life requires intentional living—and that means curating what you keep. Clutter accumulates fast in small spaces, especially if you’re parked in one place for a while.

How to Get Started:

  • Pull everything out of one storage area at a time. (It’s less overwhelming than doing everything at once!)

  • Sort into Keep / Donate / Trash / Sell piles.

  • If you haven’t used it in 6–12 months, chances are you don’t need it.

  • Let go of “just in case” items—if it’s not essential or multipurpose, it’s taking up valuable space.

But What If It’s Hard to Let Go?

We get it. Sentimental items, unfinished projects, and “what if I need this later?” thoughts can make purging tough.

Try asking yourself:

  • “Does this item add value to my day-to-day RV life?”

  • “Would I buy this again today if I didn’t already own it?”

  • “Do I have space to store this without stress?”

You don’t have to go full minimalist—but you’ll be amazed at how freeing it feels to carry only what truly matters.

🧺 3. Smart Storage & Organization: Make Every Inch Count

Once you’ve decluttered, it’s time to organize what’s left in a way that’s functional, accessible, and efficient.

Organization Tips for RVers:

  • Use vertical space: Add hanging baskets, adhesive shelves, and over-the-door organizers.

  • Go clear: Transparent bins make it easy to see what’s inside without digging.

  • Label everything: It saves time and avoids confusion—especially in shared spaces.

  • Contain like with like: Store similar items together—cleaning supplies in one bin, snacks in another.

  • Use tension rods inside cabinets to keep things from shifting while driving.

Extra Credit: Add drawer liners or anti-slip pads to keep items from sliding, and consider collapsible or nesting kitchenware to save space.
