A couple of things that I found made RV packing / life easier:
- A few fair sized sheets of flat box cardboard (at least 2' x 3'), which we used both outside of the main door and inside (great for wet, mucky weather since it holds the water / dirt from the boots --- then can be burned or recycled when you leave without having to bother trying to pack a wet, dirty carpet). We always had a few larger sheets, too, which were stored in one of the compartments, or under the sofa cushions, and could be used for the same purpose, or for some cushioning when needing to work underneath the trailer / truck / boat.
- A few hard-sided laundry hampers with reinforced handles - which were used for packing dishes / towels / sheets / pantry items / toiletries / pots and pans. For example, a full set of stoneware or porcelain dishes can be slid in to a couple of folded bath sheets, then plopped in to the hamper for safe travel and easy use / unpacking). The nice thing with the hampers is that they are easy to carry, and are open to the air so it's not a big deal to be packing things immediately after washing (a bit of dampness left on dishes or pots in a sealed container can make for a nasty surprise after being left in a sealed trailer for a few weeks), they are stackable when not in use, and they are easy to clean when you decide to use it for something else while camping (handy for carrying kindling or split wood, for instance, or taking kids' toys down to the beach). I had a couple of each of these:

- Lots of clothesline, in different lengths (ends up used for drying clothes, hanging tarps, securing loads, and multiple other things).
- Headlamps for every family member, with a couple of spares and lots of spare batteries.
- Multiple containers of waterproof matches / candles / lighters / fire-lighter (homemade or purchased) kept in various places accessible from inside and outside (a single set will manage to disappear in to another dimension when you really need it - better to have a few choices).
- A couple of old-fashioned hot water bottles with covers. These are awesome in cooler weather when filled with hot water, or when filled with cold water in hotter weather. Useful when trying to sleep, or for keeping backs warm when sitting around the fire.
