How do you pack your campervan?

[skylinersi]

As a newbie with a 6m campervan I’m interested to hear of any advice on storage and packing solutions.
Our van has a rear fixed bed and has lots of space underneath. So far just got a load of plastic storage boxes and filled with stuff.
But with a bit of spare time now and having put the Cadac and chairs in, it’s got a bit congested and dare I say going to be a lot of rattles.

Badly.........

I’ve read through the thread and come to a conclusion ...... badly! So inefficient. Another funster on here is ex military and packs the van with really enviable precision. #embarrassed

How do you pack your van?

As I say in my song:

You pack it alone,
When he’s not at home,
So he won’t see what goes in the Motorhome!

We have a list and stick to it as much as we can - only leaving things off if we know we won't need them and only adding if found they were needed during a previous trip.

The list is done locker by locker and box by box ....... when we are at home the boxes are in a wardrobe in the utility room - all labelled up so that after washing / cleaning I know what has to go in which box. Some things do stay in the van of course but I like to bring the bedding and towels in They are washed whether they have been used or not.

Simple rule.

If there are four lockers, I get one, she gets the other three. Because she's worth it.

In the garage I have precision in the van swmbo has devastation in my eyes, apparently she knows where everything is unless I need it ?

I go to work and when I come home it's all packed. Shit, shave and shower and off we go. ?

Also take it to a weighbridge once loaded and ready to go so include your food, clothing and necessary water, need not fill the tank on the latter as a litre of waster weighs one kilo. French police etc have been known to stop and check against the log book weight and or plated weight. Last summer I ditched a load of stuff as I made the mistake of weighing with 150 lires of water on board and realized after I had set off I should have had maybe 50 litres, picking up as I encountered fill up points.

To start with where on earth do you put the twin tub washing machine?

Nar, just a tight arse can't afford launderettes.

The washing machine is fine. If I was on my tod I would take it as all my clothes are easily washed and dried. Swmbo takes stuff that needs more care and needs ironing so we take an iron and ironing board.
I was living alone for 8 years between marriages and never ironed anything. I think its a woman thing.

Our van is the same, in fact we keep less clothes in the house than we do in the van ?
