We use the ziplocs for my son and pill boxes for me that we put in an overhead bin so kids don't get into it. DH just uses the blue grocery bag and puts it on top pantry shelf. Actual nebulizer fits nice in small bedroom drawer.

Wow, thanks everyone for the responses. Many, many great ideas.

We have a medicine cabinet in the van but it(like everything else in a Class B) is small and filled mostly with toiletries.

As I stated in the original post we often camp in remote areas so it important to us to keep a variety of over the counter medications that we might need. The places we camp just are not near to drugstores.

We also use the 7 day pill boxes for our prescription medications. When traveling through other states I always have our original containers.

Thanks again.

I take a lot of meds which I keep the ones I'm taking in a 6-pack soft sided cooler. The extra is also kept in another soft sided cooler.
The injectables I transport in a small 12 volt cooler, they must be kept cool.
They all can be transported into the trailer and stored either in Fridge., or sat on the counter.
Works for me.

We keep our daily meds in pill bottles in a basket, along with a bunch of other stuff, on the dinette table, one bottle per person per meal (2 people, 2 bottles each). The original containers with pills to refill the bottles for a longer trip are kept in storage under the bed. While traveling we put the basket on a shelf so it doesn't fall. Occasionally used meds we keep in the bathroom cabinet.

It depends on the med. I take several, Some need to be refrigerated so they go where else, in the 'fridge. Others do not need to be so they go in a waterproof box. NO kids in camper means it's not locked. If darling daughter presents us with grandkids then the meds will go into lock-boxes
