- Getting everything packed into a 20 foot camper and not forgetting anything can sometimes be a little difficult. Linda gives you her tips for getting the inside packed up and we show you our favorite storage modification to date. We tackle that closet under the tv to make it work for a pantry and wardrobe.
As always - thanks for watching - we truly appreciate it!

These are called Shelf Holders for 365+ line but have been discontinued by Ikea. I have found luck finding discontinued items on Amazon or Ebay but are more expensive than what they sold for originally.

That space under the TV is amazing!
Thank you! One of our favorite mods. Thanks for watching - appreciate!
Very nice ideas, well thought out. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! And as always - thank you for watching!!
Well done WPC. Really like your collaboration on your videos in how the 2 of you contribute.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Love the idea with the lower closet storage , came out great and also love that ikea sliding canister. Great mod !
Thank you! It is one of our favorite mods. Thanks for watching!
Desi, it's great that you got your chef to organize your digs so well. LOL. Lots of great ideas.
Lol - he does like to know where to go to look for food and treats! Thanks for watching!
Great ideas. I stole the simpler ones and bought the containers you showed above couch and bed the second day of ownership and they have helped immensely. Keep the ideas coming your experience is so helpful to us newbies.
Thank you! We appreciate the views and love the comments! Glad the containers helped - we find keeping things as organized as possible really goes a long way! Safe travels!
Brilliant use of your under tv cabinet!
Thank you! I think it may be my (Linda) favorite mod to date. All of our pantry items now fit so I don't have to wonder where anything is and can still hold 10 pieces of hanging clothes. Thanks for watching!
I just received my 2021 GeoPro FBS19 a few days ago! Nice mods you have done. I really like the cabinet idea under the TV so I am going to have that done as well. I bought mine for the fact that I have 2 Labradors and the slide-out space gave us more room. Thanks for the links to your items. Like Jay, I'll be "stealing" your ideas.
Started following you a few months ago and have really enjoyed your videos. Thanks!!
Thank you for watching! And congrats - we love the new upgrades! You are welcome to steal any ideas you like haha. We are just excited that we can help others as so many helped us when we started out. Thanks for following and happy camping!
Nice, can’t wait for your Boonedocking videos !
Thank you! We are looking to have those up soon. We have our first trip planned in a week and have a large list of things we want to get done for future videos!
Troy reminds me of my Dad...."Mr. Handy-Guy." LOL
LOL -yes. I will say it is decades of learning! But whenever we go to visit our daughter - there is always a list for Dad!
Good evening Troy and Linda! Congrats on your upcoming 30th anniversary!! That is really awesome. We were heading to Greece for our 30th anniversary on the 31st year; and then the virus came.
Ah ha!! The ever important topic of storage!! Thank you very much for sharing these tips! It doesn't matter what kind of rig someone has, these are great pointers!
I have a couple of field trips this coming week-- Minneapolis and Des Moines tomorrow. Denver on Wednesday. And back to Phoenix next week. I will try to get to a Container Store during one of these lay overs and report back to my wife exactly what she needs hehehehe. I'm sure that will work out well, eh?
Safe travels!
Good evening! And happy belated 30th to you both as well. That is a shame on the Greece trip - that is something I am sure you had been planning for a while. Hopefully you can take the trip again soon?
Yes - storage is something all campers have in common haha! Sounds like a busy week but at least you get a different view each day!
The container store and IKEA are quickly becoming my go to for all storage needs (this is Linda). I do like the container store website if you are trying to find a specific size - they do a great job of showing you the sizes without having to click on each item. But lol - may not be the best idea to give specific pointers to your wife haha!
Have a great week and travel safe!
Love the bottom sliding containers!
Thanks! I do too - they have worked out great. Thanks for watching!
I think those flat panels are for hanging pictures. Wonderful ideas. Happy Camping
Thanks! And yes - have seen people decorate them as well with small pictures or postcards! Happy Camping to you as well!
The panels above the sofa have been redesigned in the late 2021 models- it’s now just 3 long drop down doors, no panels! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yet another reason to be jealous of the updated ones lol! We have not been able to see one in person but would love to see all the diffferences between the models. Thanks for watching and letting us know!
Hi guys. Love all your videos. Have questions? I think you suggested to save fast food plastic cups. Can’t remember how you use them. Thanks Phil from Detroit.
Hi! Thank you for watching! So, it was in our video where we did some camping breakfast ideas for travel days. We mentioned that before a trip, we save a few cups and use them to make yogurt and fruit parfaits and then we can throw away the cup instead of having to do dishes on those busy days!
Troy- can you give the shelf measurements? Thanks I’m advance!
Update: the ikea shelf clips are discounted:(
Hi - thanks for watching! You may want to try Ebay for the Ikea clips - I usually can find discontinued Ikea items on there.
I can probably get the shelf measurements this weekend but, depending on the year of your camper, the measurements may have changed a little. Seems like always a custom fit haha!
@@WinesPinesandCanines Thanks! I think we have the same, but you're right- everyone is different! We have a 2019 G19FBS.
We have an IKEA pretty close and was hoping there'd be some still there. But you know what? Even if there's not, still loving the shelf/closet idea! Thanks again :)
Such fantastic ideas!! I'm jealous of your fabulous cabinet/closet modification. It looks amazing!! I really like the idea of keeping a second of all dog-related items in the trailer. Then I'll just have to remember food and treats. Do you do the same for all your toiletries (e.g., toothbrushes, hairbrushes, etc.)? I've been wondering if that would be safe once my Geo Pro arrives. Thanks for another fabulous video and happy, happy anniversary!!!
Hi Kate. Thank you for the positive comments! Buying duplicates really does cut down on the amount of work to get ready for a trip. I always keep a second hairbrush, hairdryer, razors... in the camper. We bring electronic toothbrushes with us (that is one of the items on my index card so I don't forget!). I typically keep items like the little sample toothpastes (that you always get from the dentist), over the counter meds, first aid items... in the camper stocked. I do take out the meds over the summer as I know heat can affect them but otherwise its nice to know they are stocked. I also keep them inside hard plastic containers in the medicine cabinet - not sure if mice would enjoy! As always - thanks for watching!!
@@WinesPinesandCanines Thanks so much for that helpful information. I'm a bit concerned about mice as well so will certainly be getting bins. I'll give it a go with doubles for the bathroom too! The index card idea is a great one. I'm all about keeping lists of any kind!
@@KateD Yes - we had a few in our previous camper but so far all good with the geo. We are super careful not to leave them any crumbs though! And we look for holes a few times a year to make sure no where for them to get in. But I definitely did not enjoy my experience with them!!
@@WinesPinesandCanines We call the rodents Mr and Mrs Sneaky. I am pretty sure Mrs Sneaky wants something done, and Mr Sneaky makes it happen. At home you keep up with Jones. In the RV life, you have to keep ahead of the Sneakys.
@caringheart00 so true! When you think you have them beat - they have you right where they want lol!
Saturday morning ☕ & 🍷, 🌲 & 🐕... ahhh☺ Thank you guys for the new video. Can you please link to the fabric container storage boxes you have over the bed behind the netting? PS - It snowed last weekend, so we didn't get to the toliet swap, but I promise to keep you posted!
As always - thank you! And I love the emojis haha!!! I had the containers linked in the description (fabric containers over the bed) but let me know if you don't see it and I will find the listing again.
Ahhh - springtime. When its 80 one day and 40 the next haha! Just when you think the colder weather may be ending. For us almost no snow this year but so much rain! I think the southeast swapped weather with the northwest. Looking forward to seeing how the swap out goes! Have a great week.
@@WinesPinesandCanines - LOL! 😅New-ish to RUclips and didn't even know about the "description" drop down! Learned something new!❤ So, do those brown handles come off? I didn't see handles on yours, but maybe I missed it?
@@islandwatersdrto 5 months ago we knew very little about RUclips other than how to hit play on the remote haha! Our first video on the GeoPro, I had mentioned to go to our Facebook page as I also did not know you could include links in the description.
They do have leather handles but they match very well and when stacked overhead you really don’t see them.
Hi....thanks for all your tips. Could you tell me what the plastic slides used on your bottom shelf are called? I found the containers but not the slides. Thanks
Hi! Thanks for watching! They are called a "holder" but Ikea recently discontinued. I found them on Ebay today (Ikea 365+ Holder) but could only find ones available that were being shipped from overseas so shipping was a little expensive.
Can you tell me what the sizes of the containers your purchased were… I love your shelving system! Was just about to build mine and love yours!
Hi - thanks for watching! They were the Ikea 365 plastic containers and we used a few different sizes. The larger ones on the bottom that slide in and out are 4qt, the middle sizes were 68oz and the small ones were 34oz. Hope that helps!
What are the under shelf
Brackets from
ikea called. Find lots of variations. Love your channel. Thanks
Hi! Thanks for being a viewer - appreciate it :). So just looked those up. They have been discontinued by Ikea sadly. They are called shelf holders for the 365 line (their plastic containers). I have found one on Ebay that is available but more expensive then they were at Ikea!! Sorry couldn’t be more help!
(But Ikea also will discontinue a product and bring one back slightly different so they may have something similar)
@@WinesPinesandCanines I tried to find them and couldn’t. Now I know why. Thanks
Your videos are so helpful! We're waiting for our GeoPro to be delivered. Can't wait. Where did you get the little storage containers you use in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom?
Thank you! Exciting - do you have an approx date yet? They were from IKEA. I showed them in the IKEA vs Harbor Freight video we did as well. Thanks for watching!
Love following you. Pls tell me where you put your puppy’s food and water dishes. Thk you!!
Thank you for watching! That is an ongoing issue for us as there is so little floor space! We don’t free feed him so when breakfast and dinner is done, the bowl gets picked up. For the water - we originally put it in front of the closet but can’t open the door without knocking it over. So we built in a little pull out tray in the storage ottoman we built but sometimes find ourselves knocking into it so still hunting for the perfect solution! We do have an idea we are going to try in the next few weeks and if it works we will be posting! Thanks again!!
I look forward to seeing your clever ideas for this dog bowl issue!! Lol
Thanks - we are hopeful to solve it! That, the trash and shoes are the ones that make us scratch our heads haha!
Linda, were you a secretary in your former life? My name is Linda too and when it comes to organizing we are kindred spirits! Thanks for the wonderful tips.
Nice to meet you fellow Linda! And thank you for the comment. Accountant actually but details are imperative in both professions!! I do love organizing and lists lol.
@@WinesPinesandCanines Me too!
What is the name of the color paint you used in the shelves under in the tv storage.
Hi! Had to go looking for the can haha! It was white dove by Benjamin Moore. Thanks for watching!
I have some of those containers, I’m 3 hours from an ikea but will be passing one on our maiden voyage soon! Can you give the measurements from the floor of the closet to where each shelf is placed? Thanks like your content.
Thank you for watching! And congrats on the soon to be maiden voyage! I won't be at the camper for a few days but the shelves are adjustable so can be moved. I do know that on the bottom (the "drawers") were the 4qt size. I think that shelf sits about 11" from the floor. The rest of the containers were the 68 oz size. Hope that helps!
Happy 30th Anniversary! Do you by any chance know the measurements of the wire baskets to the left of your stove and above your stove also? I checked your link and they have small, medium, large and extra large. Thanks!
Thank you! For the baskets - the one over the sink is a medium size (the 16" long) and the one to the side of the stove is the small (the 11" long). Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and safe travels!
Thank you for getting back and safe travels!
10:20 mark for those looking for the how to build the wardrobe closet...
Thank you! We did this video before RUclips was doing chapters - appreciate you taking the time to comment. Need to go back through all these older videos and post the chapter times - thanks for the reminder haha!
@@WinesPinesandCanines I absolutely love the below tv wardrobe idea and am trying to copy it. It's hands down the best mod I've come across.
Thank you! It is definitely in our top 5. Very much a wasted space with just hanging clothes. But we didn’t want just shelves because sometimes we do want to bring some non wrinkled items 😂.
The trick was to figure out what containers we wanted to use and then design the shelving around it. We also have two full, non cut out, shelves that we can swap out if we don’t want to bring hanging clothes.
If your camper is being stored in non-climate-controlled space it might get too hot in the summertime for some of the bandaids and other first aid supplies. High heat can degrade these, making them less effective or even unusable. Please consider taking first aid and OTC medications into your home when the trailer is not in use.
Agreed! It can be quite hot closed up in the summer so we typically do remove if not going to be camping for awhile. Summer is our slow time - prefer the easy temperatures of spring, fall and winter!
Great ideas! Just received our 2021 19FBS and so excited to get going. Any chance you guys want to start a business making those shelves?;-) I would definitely order them from you!!! (Maybe after camping season or on a rainy day? :-) )
Thank you for watching! And congrats on the new camper! We hope you have a great first trip planned. Ha - we haven't thought about selling them but have had some requests for the ottomans as well. We may have to think about coming up with a way to do that! Thanks again and safe travels!
