Where Does Your Cell Phone Live in the RV
My grandmother kept a roll of dimes and quarters for this purpose. Fast forward 30 years and most RVers now rely on cell phones to conduct their business. Conveniences have a cost because now you have to carry around the phone and when you're in the RV you've got to find a convenient place to keep it and someplace for a recharging station. If you're like me you have to keep the recharger in the same place otherwise you can't remember where you put it. So where do you put your cell phones? Double click on the "comments" section below and tell us what you do. In the meantime, here's an idea from RVing friend John Culver.
He mounted cell phones on the front console of his motorhome. You can use a cell phone holder and hook and latch tape or a permanently mounted snap or a big wad of gum.
He ran the recharging wires through his cup holder back behind the console where you can connect them to 12 volts or 110 volts depending on which recharger you intend to use. I still haven't found a suitable place for our cell phones, perhaps one of your ideas will inspire me. I'm calling on you for help - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing.Labels: Cell Phone

I have two spots....one when traveling and one when parked. I have a 26' Class C, 1999 version.
I could put it in the cup holder but worried that I might spill something on it since the two cup holders, different sized, are mingled together.
The console also has a swing-out ashtray on the front of the console. I found that my clip-on phone holder fits on there perfectly.
At night when parked & plugged into shore power, I have the normal charger connected in the kitchen by the sink and can sit it on the little shelf over the kitchen window (not much good for anything else). I have my iPod charger in the same spot, clipped the cords to the edge of the shelf.

In our 5th wheel I put the cell phone on top of the valance over the window and the charger is always plugged into 110 which will reach that location. When boon docking it is plugged into the truck overnight. We don't get that many calls and rarely make outgoing calls, but we still feel more secure having the cell phone.

We keep the phone charger on the nightstand in the bedroom. If it rings at night while charging we can hear it, and in the morning we unplug it and carry it with us.
