My favorite mod is the use of Velcro. I got tired of straighten up all the smaller items in the medicine cabinet so I velcro'd them in place. I ran long strips inside the cabinet and then cut smaller sections of the opposite velcro and attached the small tab to each of the items and viola! They stick in place and no more mess after traveling. Worked so well, I velcro'd the shampoo, the misc lubricate spray cans, etc.

Just a couple of things we did. One is put a small box in the medicine cabinet to hold all the small boxes, jars and bottles. I found two woven boxes with hinged lids at Hobby Lobby. They're light weight and sturdy. One is the size of a hassock and with a made to size pillow on it, that's what we use it for. The other is square and with a tray on top it's used for the coffee table. I store extra blankets in one and the dog food and their bowls in the other. We got some clear plastic containers for the basement to organize everything down there.

I bought those plastic individual cutlery trays that you put in kitchen drawers for your silverware to use in the medicine cabinet. keeps everything from falling out when you open the door from medicine bottles to the dental floss. I haven't needed to, but I guess you could velcro them onto the shelves. I bought a 6" x 8" fabric lined basket to put all the bottles of mouth wash, baby powder, etc and it sits on the shelf behind the "throne".

A strip of thin clear plexiglass, glued inside the medicine cabinet keeps things from falling out when you open the doors.
A floor stand tp holder. Holds 4 folls next to toilet takes no space and frees up cabinet space.
Assign a place for everything, and keep arranging it all until you can easily find everything.
I use a serving tray on the table as a catch all for the daily bits and pieces, coins, receipts, pens, whatever.
I have 2 round folding tables that slip behind the sofa and 2 storage/tray top ottomans that get combined in all sorts of ways for entertaining. We use one of the ottoman/trays between the captains chairs as a table while we are driving. One holds sofa throws, one holds books and magazines.
Canned drinks can be stored under the sofas, outside of the drawer space.
I have 2 rubbermaid 3 drawer units (lightweight) in the bedroom closet under the hanging clothes for extra drawers as ours are limited. They open while driving, which is a pain. I couldn't think of anything else that would add no weight to the MH or require a drill. If you can, let me know.

We like the pop-a-plate and pop-a-bowl dispensers. We mounted them under the kitchen cabinets.

We use lots of Rubber Made type of containers in the RV. Large ones in the basement storage and shoe box sizes storage containers in the small overhead cabinets. In the kitchen, we use small plastic baskets for loose items. I must say we believe in organization, everything has a place and is put away after use. I could not live in a small place unless it was well organized.
