15 Collapsible Items to Save Space in an RV
Everyone has seen collapsible bowls, but there are a ton of different items that are great for RV’ers because they collapse almost flat to save a ton of space in the limited kitchen space available in RVs.
Another great thing about collapsible kitchenware is that it can mean having space to bring a few extra items that you might not otherwise have.
Tea Kettle
Yes, there really are collapsible tea kettles! You can either get an electric kettle or you can even get one that goes right on the stove top for boondocking.

Colanders
I like these colanders, but you will need to measure your sink in your RV before picking up one of these. But I love how it sits above the sink rather than sitting on the bottom of it, for germ reasons.

For something a little more traditional, these colanders are perfect for rinsing veggies, or straining pasta noodles.

Or a set of three if you want a nested set instead.

Collapsible Stock Pot
Measuring Cups
These measuring cups collapse, meaning you can bring along a set of measuring cups, rather than using the single pyrex style measuring cup for everything. If you cook a lot and need to know measurements, this set is perfect.

Soup or Cereal Bowl
If you are boondocking and need to use paper plates to save on water, you know that sometimes the paper bowls aren’t very robust when standing up to things like a hearty stew or soup. These bowls are perfect for meals you don’t trust to paper.

This garbage bag holder collapses down to only 2″ when you don’t need it. Great for putting outside while eating or having friends over to visit. The bag just pops in easily.

If you really need something larger for outdoors, this collapsible one might be perfect and the lid is fully zippered. First 30 gallon trash bags.

Buckets
I love this! There are so many uses for a bucket, but they take up so much space to store in an RV. These buckets are collapsible, which makes bringing a bucket into the RV an easy decision.

Camp Chairs
These chairs pack down incredibly small, making it easy to make room for camp chairs even in a small RV. They recline, rock and have both a drink holder and a phone holder. These are quite luxurious, and do be warned, they have a luxurious price tag too. But if you have splurge money, this might be one place to spend it on, especially for those with smaller RVs where space is crucial.

Laundry
Do you stay in RV parks with laundry facilities, but hate to lug around one of those laundry bags that college kids use? This is a great collapsible laundry basket that you can store when you don’t need it (although I know some of you will end up using it as a great catchall basket when it isn’t needed for laundry duty!). It comes in a variety of colors.
