    Actually in duffles in the tow vehicle! Originally we put them in the compartments in the back under the seats but when the bed is made they are too hard to get to.

    I use storage cubes and keep them in the back overhead compartments or the rear bench with cubes in a duffle. At bed time I hang the clothes K wore that day on one hook and the next day's clothes on another hook.

    I normally use cubes in the back overhead compartments, but this summer I put my t-shirts folded in one compartment, shorts in another, and I used cubes in the third compartment for my unmentionables.  My t-shirts were a bit less wrinkled than when in a cube.  Columbia shorts take no time to straighten out, so they're no problem.

    This winter, I'll put the different seasons of clothes in cubes in duffles in the under bed storage, and pull them out when needed.  I'll keep the current season's clothing handy in the back overhead compartments.

    Like Verna, I often travel with clothing and coats for different seasons, except last year when I just forgot to bring warm clothing to the mountains.

    If you saw someone with a towel draped around their shoulders last July at sunrise, that might have been me trying to keep warm. It's a little chilly when the temps are in the 30‘s and you only have short sleeves. Bought a sweatshirt after that. B)

    Soft packing cubes (medium size from eBags fit nicely) hold a lot rolled, fit the rear cubbies, and flatten as they empty. Two people=two colors.

    I roll my clothes up and put them in here.

    I simplified - nothin but jeans/shirts for every day use and I put them in the back cabinets in sets.All I have to do is reach in, grab a set and head for the shower. If I need something dressy, that's in a travel bag in the TV.
  • I figured out right away that this is camping, small c. I am not in my 36 ft RV anymore. So, simple is best. I have a Sofitel with a clamshell kitchen so I have a well outfitted kitchen :-) but me, not so much. 
    I attached a removable tension shower curtain in the front window area at first but realized it isn't really necessary to have hanging space. I fitted that front bench with hinges under the cushion and flat handles so I can use the cupboards under the bench more like bins/hatches. I have a plastic tub/drawer in each that I can lift out as needed. Everything I need fits in there, except my jackets/coats/boots/shoes. They are in other small bins in my car. If I need to look a little dressier for some reason I have a couple hangers I can put on the shower door to hang out any wrinkles for the next day.

    I put plastic drawers in my front closet, and some plastic drawers under the bed (got rid of the table). My sweatshirts, rainsuit gets rolled up on the shelf above the pass through cabinet behind the net. If on the off chance I need work clothes, they are on a hang bar in the truck. Shoes are in a plastic bin outside by the door. I found a unique cloth "cooler" on a frame at Wal-Mart several years ago that serves as my laundry basket and holds my shower bag also. I have a couple of hooks on the outside of the T@B for my towel and heavy coat or wet raingear under the awning.

    Thank you I really appreciate all of the info. I didn't know about packing cubes & the other ideas was great. Happy travels to all.

    My DW and I each take one of the rear cupboards over the bed, with the middle one reserved for towels.

    Amazing how much fits in there. We roll each piece of clothing, best for wrinkle-less-ness, and most space-efficent.

    Any fancy weddin' clothes stay in the TV in a clothes bag.

    Depends on the length of the trip and if I'm solo or hubby is along.  For longer solo trips, I use plastic drawers and sit them on the driver's side bench seat.  When hubby and I are together, we have cloth cubes that ride under the back cabinets in our queen bed model.  We always leave the sofa back in the position.

    I used 2 of the back cabinets and put coats and extra stuff below the rear passenger side seat for my recent trip. Like most things with the T@b, I have learned with clothes, too, less is more.

    I use the rear shelves for a couple of days worth of clothing.  Store the rest in passenger side benches or toss a small suitcase in car and rotate out clothing (depending on the length of the trip).

    I learned a long time ago to fold my towels length wise and lay clothes on them and roll it all up and put small bungie cord around the roll.  One day's worth of clothes per towel...

    You can toss them in almost any where...

    It won't wrinkle (if you roll up neatly) and when you unwind for the day you have a fresh towel....
