RV Dollar Store Finds: 12 Uses for Mesh Bags

April 20, 2020 by RV Chick Leave a Comment

I love the versatility of mesh bags and usually have a few empty ones on hand to be used at the last minute, along with several others that have designated jobs in the RV, such as for laundry, electronics and organizing toiletries or toys, depending on who is along on the RV adventure.

If you have a tiny RV as well, where space and weight is at a premium, mesh bags are a lot easier to find space for in the RV, and you don’t need to worry about the weight or bulky size with mesh bags like you need to worry about with tubs or bins.

I am showing a variety of mesh bag sizes and colors, but any size of mesh bag can be made to work for your RV, depending on what your dollar store has in stock, or what you have on hand already.

Organizing Electronics and Other Small Items

I love these small bags to help organize cables and other small items, and then they can be tossed in a drawer or cabinet.  I use two small one for electronic cables, and I keep one in the cab area of the RV, and the second in the main area, so I always have quick access to a charger cable for my phone, kindle or to recharge up a power bank.

Organize Kids Toys

RV storage is at a premium, but if you give your kids a specific amount of space they get for toys, these mesh bags work… let them bring only as many toys that fit in a single mesh bag – or two if you have a larger RV.

I like these ones because you can color coordinate them either one color for each kid, or one per activity, such as orange bag is beach toys, blue bag is for toys and activities while driving, etc.

Organize Bathroom Toiletries

I love these small cosmetic bags because you can color coordinate them per person.  Or you can use one for makeup, one for toothbrush/toothpaste, one for shampoo etc.  This set has a total of 6 different colors, and the small zip ties have a white gripper on them you can label with a sharpie if needed.

Bath Toy Organizer to Organize RV Bathroom

While zip bags are great for smaller items in the bathroom, using a bath toy organizer in the RV makes a lot of sense.  You can easily suction the toy bag to the bathroom wall, usually on the shower enclosure area, in the RV, and use them to store everything from bath towels and washcloths, to larger items you may not have a secure shelf for when your RV is moving, such as shampoo and conditioner.  And of course, they can always be used for toys too!

You can find bath toy organizers at most dollar stores too, but they will be in the baby section, not the bath section of the store.

Stop Noisy Banging in Sink While Travelling

I love to have a few of these on hand.  They are great for storing fruits and veggies and can hang off hooks everywhere throughout the RV.  Items you are putting in your sink for travel, you can use these mesh bags to keep everything from banging around the sink.

Air Drying Dishes

In the RV park, wash your dishes and place them in a mesh bag and hang them outside to air dry.

I like this backpack style for this use because it is easy to hang the handle over the edge of an awning or off a tree branch.

Dirty Laundry

I am a big fan of using mesh bags for laundry.  We keep them all the dirty laundry in one cupboard and color coordinated mesh laundry bags keeps dirty laundry together, but each person’s laundry is still separate.

Mesh Laundry Basket

These large mesh bags pop into laundry baskets, perfect for taking your laundry to the laundromat wherever you are staying.  And compartments mean you can organize the laundry in the RV rather than trying to sort while at the laundromat.

Travel Packing Cubes

Travel packing cubes are another great way to save space, and with mesh on them, you don’t need to worry about damp clothes.  I love these ones personally because you can give each person their own cube color, so they don’t get mixed up even if stored in the same cupboard or drawer.

Each set has 6 various sized cubes, making it perfect for using the larger cube for things like pants while the smaller ones are great for sleepwear, socks and underwear.

These ones come in eleven different colors!  Here are a few of the color options, but you can click through for even more colors.

Organize Your Hose in a Mesh Hose Bag

I love anything that helps organize anything that goes below in a locker.  So I love these mesh bags for corralling a hose in the locker when not in use.

This set also comes with tags so you can clearly mark each hose bag with the type of hose it is.

The above hose bag is also perfect for storing your electrical cords too!
