Good idea for us

Seems like everything we own has a charger and many have two, one for the wall and one for the truck. Once we've owned them for a day or two they all get in a drawer and then we can't tell one from the other and sometimes it makes a difference. I took some of the key tags (round paper tags with a metal ring around them) that they sell in hardware stores. Wrote on them what the charger was for. Took the little wire key ring off and attached the tag to the wire of the charger with the smallest wire tie I owned (they are really tiny). Now we can keep the chargers all in one place and quickly tell one from another.

Good idea!
That reminds me of something I need to do (that’s been on a list for a long time.) I have a key box with several hooks for hanging spare keys on them. That needs to be placed back in service and sorted out.

Great idea Dick. We all need help organizing, especially in these RV's.

As soon as we buy something with a charger, or adapter I have a label maker and stick it on the device. We have been doing this for a number of years now and the labels are still in good shape. Just another idea to go with DQDick's good suggestion.
The label maker has all kinds of uses around home as well as the Monty.

I've also had the "what charger goes to what" issue. Since most chargers are black ... I've found they now have silver Magic Markers that are fine point. I picked one up at Office Depot and it has served me well. I believe Wally World is also carrying them.
