Permanent Extra Space in an Instant: Add-A-Drawer RV Accessory

This post was updated on March 15th, 2024

add-a-drawerWhen it comes to finding a place for all the “stuff” in a RV, organization is typically the key to successfully finding a home for the gear you take with you. What happens when you have exhausted your organizational abilities and find yourself simply out of space? Then it must be time to clear out some stuff (no fun in that) or make additional room. It can be a challenge to add storage to a RV. Perhaps one of the easiest methods for adding space is the Add-A Drawer kits that you can find at camping retailers. The aptly named accessory adds drawer storage to the underside of a cabinet, table, pantry or even inside a cabinet. It is made of a rigid molded plastic with accompanying  self-locking mounting channels to allow for the drawer functionality.

What makes the Add-A-Drawer kits so appealing is the ease of installation and value. Sure, it may look a little nicer to add a custom wood drawer or cubby, but rarely can it be installed in minutes at a price point less than $30. The plastic construction also is much lighter and takes up less space than wood. We cant however argue that wood wouldn’t be a more sturdy solution. Yet for most RV’ers storage needs of games, cards, remote controls, silverware, recipes, and countless other tools, it is the perfect solution.

The tough part for most people we know with an Add-A-Drawer kit is finding a spot for it that allows for proper fastening. Most cabinet and table surfaces don’t allow for a very long screw. If you want to load your Add-A-Drawer up with heaver items you should consider that though the kit can probably hold it, your fasteners may give. You can always remedy that, but something to think consider none the less.
