Keep the clothing well ventilated and dry. All the laundry bins that you will find at walmart will all have slits in them to provide airflow, and that is for good reason. When i was traveling through Europe i put my dirty clothing in a stuff sack in my pack and it ruined all of them. Everything stunk horribly, and even after washing they still had the same smell, so i threw them all out.

Do not keep your clothing in any waterproof container, whether that be a trash bag, a bucket, or a stuff sack, it will just make things worse. Instead get an air permeable container like This one, and make sure to not put anything in there if it is wet or even damp. If your clothing is wet you need to hang it up until it drys. You can put it on a hanger and hang from the ceiling, or you can just hang it over the back of a seat or something else.

As long as things are kept bone dry you will not get the bacterial growth that causes the smells.

Also if at all possible you should try and invest in some kind of ventilation. Get a ceiling fan installed, and if you are worried about stealth you could always put up a roof rack to kind of conceal it. Even a super small van will help with the smell.
