Winnebago Revel Entrance Storage: A Drop Zone for Keys, Sunglasses, and Toothbrushes
Published Oct 27, 2026
Published October 27, 2026
Plain summary: good Winnebago Revel entrance storage is one small, fixed spot by the door where keys, sunglasses, and toothbrushes always land. In the Revel pantry model, that spot can be a slim powder-coated steel magnetic board mounted with pre-cut, heat-resistant tape. It goes in one of two places depending on whether your van has the trim or not, it takes 5 to 10 minutes to install, and you never drill a hole.
Why Winnebago Revel entrance storage keeps failing
The Revel is built for getting out the door fast. That is also why the small things vanish. Keys go in a cupholder, sunglasses slide off the dash, and the toothbrush cup ends up wedged somewhere near the sink. The Acorn Stash product page puts it plainly: the Entrance Board catches keys, sunglasses, and the small stuff that disappears between the seats.
A drop zone works because it is the same place every time. The catch in a camper van is that the walls are finished panels, not bare steel, so a magnetic key hook has nothing to hold onto until you add a steel surface.
With trim or without trim: one board, two spots
This is the question we get most about the Entrance Magnetic Board (Revel). The product page shows two photos, and they are the same board. It is shaped to mount in a different spot depending on your Revel's trim configuration, and each order includes one board.
| With trim | Without trim | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it sits | The trim spot at the entry | The light interior wall beside the window screen |
| Board | Entrance Magnetic Board (Revel), matte Black | Same board, matte Black |
| Price | $85 | $85 |
| Mounting | Pre-cut, double-sided, heat-resistant tape | Same tape, no drilling |
| What our photo shows | Toothbrush holder, key hook with fob, two J-hooks | The same layout on the lighter wall |
Before you order, look at your own entry wall and match it to one of the two product photos. If you are unsure which configuration you have, the support page is the place to ask.
What owners actually hang by the door
Our own board carries four things, and each one has a job. The slotted toothbrush holder keeps two brushes upright and out of the galley. A chrome magnetic hook holds the van key ring and fob. Two J-hooks along the bottom edge are free for a lanyard or a leash.
Revel owner Jenny Penny set hers up differently, which is the point of a magnetic surface. Her board, from her review titled "Love our Acorns!", carries a wire mesh basket at the top for sunglasses, a deeper mesh basket below for small gear, a carabiner, keys on a lanyard, and a wooden name magnet for her and her travel partner.
A few layout ideas that come straight from these two boards:
- Keys high, on their own hook. Both setups keep keys up top where you see them first.
- Baskets for things that roll. Sunglasses and lip balm stay put in mesh, not on a flat shelf.
- Hooks along the bottom edge. Lanyards and straps hang free without covering the rest of the board.
Magnetic accessories are sold separately. Our support page links the standard magnetic hooks and baskets we use in our own van.
How to set up your entrance board
- Match your spot. Compare your entry wall to the with-trim and no-trim photos and confirm where the board will go.
- Test-fit. Hold the board in place and check that the window screen and nearby trim still clear it.
- Clean the panel. Wipe off dust and hand oils, then let the surface dry.
- Peel and press. Remove the tape backing, press the board into place, and hold it firmly for 30 seconds.
- Hang the daily four. Start with keys, sunglasses, toothbrushes, and one free hook, then adjust after a trip or two.
Because the accessories are magnetic, you can rearrange the layout any time without touching the tape.
Pairing it with the kitchen wall
The entrance board handles the door. The galley wall beside the sink is the other spot where Revel clutter piles up, and the Kitchen Magnetic Board (Revel) at $175 covers that one. Buying both as the Revel Duo costs $235, saves $25, and ships free in the continental US because the order is over $200. For the kitchen side in more detail, see our guide to Winnebago Revel kitchen storage.
Every board is powder-coated steel made in California, ships in 3 to 5 business days, and can be returned within 30 days if undamaged. You can see more real installs in the gallery or browse every board on the shop page.
FAQ
Where does the entrance board go in a Winnebago Revel?
The Acorn Stash Entrance Magnetic Board is made for the entryway of the Winnebago Revel with the pantry floorplan. It mounts in one of two spots depending on your van's trim configuration, so it sits right where you step in and drop your keys.
Is the with-trim Revel entrance board a different product from the no-trim board?
No. It is the same board. The two product photos show one board mounted in two different spots, one for vans with the trim and one for vans without it. Each order includes one board.
What can you hang on a Winnebago Revel entrance board?
Anything that grips a magnetic steel surface: a magnetic key hook, J-hooks for a lanyard or dog leash, a slotted toothbrush holder, or wire mesh baskets for sunglasses and small gear. Magnetic accessories are sold separately.
Should I buy the Revel entrance board alone or the Revel Duo?
The Entrance Magnetic Board (Revel) is $85 on its own. The Revel Duo pairs it with the Kitchen Magnetic Board (Revel) for $235, which saves $25 and qualifies for free continental US shipping on orders over $200.
