Where does everyone put their laundry...when you have limited storage

We currently use the bottom of the rear closet for laundry. We use a laundry bag but once the bag get full it is hard to pull the bag out. The closet is only 9 inches wide at the doorway. I'm thinking about getting a thin trash can to put in the closet. What does everyone do...especially those with small trailer and limited interior space.

We have a "shirt closet" next to my side of the bed in the 5er. Don't need it with the wardrobe slide closet, so that's our dirty duds closet.

We use a laundry basket on the bottom of the closet where the washer/dryer would've gone if we ordered it that way.

My old tt had a bedside table built in. The top lifted up and I could drop things into the pass thru. I would put a laundry basket there and collect clothes. When full, the basket gets switched with an empty basket in the bed of the truck under the tonneau cover. If you have a built in bedside table above the pass thru you may be able to mod this into your tt. My new 5er has room in the closet for a laundry basket.

We have a laundry chute under the sink (inside the under the sink cabinet) that drops into the pass thru. Nyet...Sneak made a cover for it.

Who has room for a laundry basket in their basement storage?


WAY too much other *important* stuff is in the basement!

The basket takes the place of stuff that comes out onto the campsite during the trip.

Right now we throw a couple of laundry baskets on one of the upper bunks in the quad bunkhouse, since they're not used anyways. The one time they were used (had some nieces with us) we relegated the bathtub to laundry basket duty.

Sheesh, we still have so many empty overhead cabinets, I could stuff the dirty duds in several of those.

Yeah, I know we carry *way* too much "stuff" in the basement, but I'd rather have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

We'll soon have it all organized though! Headed for NC for a little bit of D&D trickin' and tweakin'.

My guess would be to Old Coot's He mentioned something about promising Weezer something when I met him at the rally.

We already had a business obligation very close to where OC and TOWTA live. SO, we're going to meet them while we're up there. OC made one of his slider mechanisms for our basement storage.

I wish Frankie and I could manage to hide a GoPro camera somewhere out in his shop. Oh LORD the stories that'll be told between OC and Sneak.

Well we have washer & dryer so we use them as clothes hampers. Before we had the washer & dryer we kept a clothes hamper in the shower. Just set it in the bathroom when we use shower

Collapsible hamper in the shower. Pull it to use it and put it back when done.
