Yes, use wooden hangers.

, yes, some of us like to use the closet to hang clothes and especially like the larger 21C closet for that.

But a lot of folks don't seem to like the idea of hanging up clothes and install lots of different drawer systems. There's been lot's of previous posts and I'm sure the fold em and box em crowd will chime in with their recommendations.

I like being able to grab a half dozen shirts on hangers from my closet and take them out the trailer and hang them in the closet. Takes a fraction of the time it would take to fold them to put on shelves.

I like hangers for my dinner jacket and tuxedo. Also my camouflage jacket and meat-cutters coat. The only thing I’ll tolerate with wrinkles is my socks.

We got the optional extra closet in our 21, so we have draws and hang clothes

We had the factory install 2 shelfs and use collapsible cloth containers for "his and hers" clothes. Since camping is somewhat casual, hangars are not used and tightly folded items do to wrinkle. For a 2 week trip I normally take 7 days of changes and do a wash in between. Here are some links https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-...4844348&sr=8-3

I built some drawers to fill the space. Two for me and two for Katie. We did not really need hanging space. There is also some room under the drawers to stuff several days of dirty clothes.

I was thinking about those nice looking drawers last night and realized one draw back. with the cloth boxes I can take them into the house, fill with items and then back to the trailer, whereas with the drawers, another container is needed to transfer back and forth?

The drawers come out quite easily. So, I just carry them into the house to load and unload. I also put an positive latch on the door so a sliding drawer doesn't push open the door and create a disaster.
