You spend a lot of time in your RV kitchen, and you want it to work better for your trips. This article shows simple, practical ways to make your cooking space feel larger, brighter, and easier to use so you can cook with less fuss and more fun.
You will find easy upgrades that save space, boost light, and keep everything tidy so meal prep becomes faster and more enjoyable.
PRO TIP
You can make big changes without big costs by choosing smart tools and small tweaks that fit your space and style.
1) Install magnetic spice tins for easy access
Magnetic spice tins save space and keep spices within arm’s reach. You can stick them to the fridge, a metal backsplash, or a magnetic strip mounted on the wall.
Label each tin so you find spices fast. Use clear, simple labels and arrange them by frequency of use—everyday spices on top or near the stove.
PRO TIP Choose tins with wide openings so you can scoop or pour easily. Fill only what you use in a month to keep flavors fresh and avoid clutter.
2) Use pegboard walls for hanging utensils
Pegboard walls save space and keep your tools within reach. You can mount one above the counter or inside a cabinet door to free up drawer space.
Hang often-used items like spatulas, ladles, and measuring cups where you can grab them fast. Mix hooks, small shelves, and baskets to hold different shapes and sizes.
Pegboards let you change the layout as your needs shift. Rearrange hooks for a new setup or add a cutting board holder when you need more prep room.
PRO TIP Paint the pegboard a light color to brighten the area. Use matching hooks for a tidy look and label spots for fast cleanup.
3) Add LED strip lights under cabinets
LED strip lights make your workspace brighter and safer. You can see what you’re chopping and avoid shadows that make cooking harder.
Install strips under upper cabinets for even light across the counter. Peel-and-stick backing and low-voltage wiring make this an easy DIY job.
