Right after we purchased our 28 foot Grand Design RV, we headed to Walmart and scoured Amazon and bought a ton of items for the camper. I had done massive research at camping forums and websites, and gleaned unique and good ideas from experienced campers. Mostly I searched for how to pack and organize the inside of the camper. It is a house the is moving around constantly, so packing it takes some ingenuity.
This page will share what I learned and what we use in our RV. These useful items I can personally recommend because they have worked well for us for nearly two years.
Be aware that once the RV is purchase you will have to outfit it like it's a second home! You won't need to buy furniture, but you will need everything else. Many things are obvious, like pots and pans and dishes. But this home moves... it shakes and rattles as you go on down the road, so things are a bit different inside the camper. Keeping things safe and organized and in place is very important to avoid unwanted surprises. It's easy to do this if you have some simple items.

All of the items on this page are things we bought and use with success inside our RV. We have not gone overboard, and all items are relatively inexpensive, but do help with organizing inside the camper.
When you pack for a camping trip, you will probably use the refrigerator to store at least some of your food. I have read horror stories about campers finding their fridge doors open when they arrive, and contents spilled all over the camper floor!
Most camping couples and families will tell you that storage is important when buying a camper. No matter how many cubbies and cabinets you have, you will probably need more places to put things.
Our RV bathroom is pretty awesome. Many RVs have tiny, claustrophobic bathrooms and this camper model has a bathroom I love. I noticed that there was space on the walls and I bought these 
Little dish towels come in handy for more than just drying dishes, so buy a lot of them. 
Our camper did not come with a toilet paper holder. We chose to get a 
Being an RV owner in Florida means dealing with humidity pretty much year round. Our camper sits in the yard with all the windows closed for most of the year. 
Every RV model is different, and yet they are a lot the same. From tiny trailers to massive fifth-wheel toy haulers, all camping people require the basics.

Any unique suggestions for camper organization?
There are a couple three more questions that come to mind concerning camper organization.
The computer could crash any minute so I probably could do the first question, related to my previous cooking-related comments.
Does microwave- or oven- or stove- or toaster-heated food end up with food smells all, little, most or none of the time inside the camper? Or might open doors and windows sufficiently air them outward?
The computer crashed before I completed my comment concerning camper life from the inside perspective.
Does indoor-preparation of camper food allow for some versatility, such as baking or boiling or cooking or frying or grilling?
For example, might it be possible or reasonable to enjoy boiled eggs one time, fried eggs another, quiche yet another time? Or must one be limited to boiled eggs?
The first image gives an airy, attractive, comfortable, light-filled, persuasive look at camper indoor life.
The dish-washing arrangement looks completely doable. But what is the arrangement for indoor-heated food?
Most campers don't have a lot of color selections. They have a wide selection of layouts, but color palettes tend to be brown or gray. For example, we bought our trailer for the layout and there were no color choices. When we camp we are mainly outside - and do all cooking outside too, unless the weather is bad. So the camper stays pretty clean.
All the images feature light ceiling, floors and walls.
This area is dominated by darker to lighter gray-bodied campers entering and exiting the interstate and parking during entertainment, grocery-store, rest and restaurant forays in area business lots.
What colors inside and what colors outside seem to require the least upkeep to keep everything looking clean and attractive?
I would opt for light colors inside but sometimes they result in so much weekly if not daily cleaning. I would opt for dark colors outside but sometimes they project a seriousness inconsistent with joyous camping.
All my feline sentients have my family-history names -- such as Lydia Sharpe Winterbotham -- from my maternal and paternal lines. They also have nicknames, such as Brindi (Lydia's because of her brindle-patterned coat).
I have the utmost confidence in your feline sentients loving the camping life with you all. I really worried that I never would get Brindi -- who was quite stubborn about some things -- inside even as she was so wonderful about her husband Morse (M on the forehead and anglicized Morse from my paternal Mors line) -- ;-D -- and four kittens preceding her becoming a house, indoor sentient too.
I hope they will come to enjoy it and be happy. Lydia sounds like a character!
Me too, I agree that feline sentients are adaptable to what their human family appreciates.
My latest arrival, Lydia, mother of my four latest kitten sentients, bolted through the living-room window but came back through it an hour later. She displays no interest in open doors and windows. In fact, she moves deeper and deeper into the house. This after perhaps much of a lifetime spent ferally until finally accepting my three-years' worth of imploring.
You and your longer-term abodes, be it camper or house, matter to them. Wouldn't it seem that they will end up loving the camper life at least as much as you?
(Wouldn't it almost seem that they might love it more than you all do because it's the best of two worlds: safe exposure to nature and vacation time with you and your and their human family?)
One cat tends to get carsick and the other meows non-stop while riding... They don't ride much these days, so they would have to acclimate - quickly! I've noticed from being a cat owner that cats can adjust to their environment. So who knows, maybe they will love camping.
Feline sentients add so much to indoor and outdoor, mobile and stationary lodgings and vehicles.
My feline sentients began early with becoming comfortable with van-type vehicles. One of them in particular never bolted when doors and windows were open. She drew so much attention from drivers and pedestrians the way she'd so comfortably settle on the tray between the two front seats and on the dashboard.
Will you have to start from scratch acclimating them to a mobile lifestyle?
