Whether you’re packing up the family for Thanksgiving or heading out on a cross-country winter getaway, one thing’s for sure: staying organized on the road can be a challenge. Between snacks, cords, and travel gear, even the most spacious SUV or camper can feel cramped fast.

With a few clever uses of strong neodymium magnets, you can save space, reduce clutter, and make every mile a little smoother. Here are some of our favorite magnet hacks for your holiday road trip that will keep your car, truck, or RV running like a well-organized machine.

Keep Essentials Within Reach

Tired of digging through bags for your phone charger or sunglasses? Attach hook magnets or magnetic clips to metal surfaces, such as door panels or seat frames, to keep small items secure and accessible. You can even secure a neodymium disc magnet inside your glove box or console to keep loose keys from sliding around.

Secure Cables and Electronics

When you’re charging phones, tablets, and GPS devices, cords can quickly become a tangled mess. Try our bendable silicon magnet clips to the dashboard or console to keep everything organized and out of the way while driving. Magnets can also hold a flashlight or small tools in your trunk for quick access during roadside stops.

Magnetic Map or Activity Board for Kids

Keeping kids entertained in the backseat doesn’t have to mean a screen marathon. Create a DIY magnetic activity board with a cookie sheet, small magnets, and small travel games or puzzle pieces. Visit our blog for inspiration and step-by-step instructions. For older kids, print maps or fun trivia sheets and use magnets to hold them in place for a fun way to track your route and keep everyone engaged along the way. Children should always be supervised when using magnets, so keep an eye on your little ones. 

 

Maximize Space in Your RV or Camper

If your road trip involves van life or RV camping, magnets are a game-changer for small spaces. Use them to hang kitchen utensils, towels, or even curtains. Just be sure to choose coated magnets to prevent scratches or rust exposure. Visit our blog post to learn how to use magnets in your RV or Camper.
