Cable Clamp Options for Better RV Organization

One of the challenges for all RVers as they're going down the road and the packing and unpacking getting ready is what to do with this massive pile of cables. Co-ax, extension cords, hoses like this. It usually sits in a, in a compartment on top of each other and we have to unstack it. And I always seem to need the bottom one. So I've got a handy set of connectors here that can kind of help organize each one of these.

Now the simplest one, I've got a good friend that's an electrician. He just goes down to the tire store gets an old blown out inner tube, cuts little strips like this, and then he can take and pull up. Let's say we got a hose here. This happens to be a freshwater hose. So to keep that organized literally bring it over, pull it up.

I can keep it nice and tight. And then I can put little clips or hooks inside my compartment and hang them around the top of it. That way they're not laying on the ground all the time. Well, some of the people with fifth expensive, fifth wheels and a diesel pusher say, well, I don't want something free. So we're going to look at a couple other options.

This one, is our cable. Pull that off here. Now most of your home improvement stores will sell us different variety of clamps. We've got the smaller ones like this one here. This is real good for very small items.

I can just pull up side there and keep it nice and tight. Now the downside of this one is it does not have any kind of hole, so it's a lot harder to hang it. But if you've got something that you're using you're laying it down. You know, the larger piece like this, the nice part about this is when you clamp your cables on it gives you a handle that you can carry it with. If you don't want to hang it, you just carry it over.

Nice, easy, open up as well. This one I like because it does have the hole. So if I'm going to take my clamp here I'm gonna bring it back up. Let me see how it already starts to unravel. Take my clamp, Now this does come in smaller sizes too.

So I would get the smaller one. This one is great for the long hoses, your extension cord for your motor home, your larger 30 amp cord. It's going to take a bigger one but it also has the hole up here in the top. So I can literally hang this around the inside. And then the last little piece handy just to carry these they've kind of got a wire inside.

So if I want to hang something off to the side keep it out of the way I can pull it up like this and then I can bring it down to the side. Pull it up And just hang it anywhere. That that allows me to put cables or pull something away. If I have a, a hose that I don't want hanging close to the electrical side, I can bring it over and just do a quick wrap. All these can be found at your home repair facilities, your Lowe's, Home Depot's, that type of stuff, very inexpensive.

And it's a great way to help organize your compartments your cords, and get things out of the way.
