Storing things in a campervan – tricks and solutions.

Space in a campervan is limited, so efficient storage is key to a comfortable journey. Here are some proven tricks and solutions to help you
stay organized and make the most of available space.

1. Use material organizers
Lightweight bags and pouches with a quick-closure system using a double drawstring in the drawstring are ideal for sorting and storing small items. They will help you avoid mess and keep things easily accessible. Transparent organza bags allow you to quickly find the item you need.

2. Install custom-made shelves and racks
Functional racks and shelves designed specifically for campers will help maximize storage space. Wall-mounted shelves or over-door racks are great for storing books, electronics, and kitchen accessories.

3. Use the space under the bed
Under-bed storage is a great place to store larger items like spare blankets, seasonal clothes, or sports equipment. To keep things tidy, it’s a good idea to use containers or bags to help organize things.

4. Use foldable and multifunctional furniture
Furniture that serves more than one function is essential in small spaces. Folding tables, beds that turn into couches, and chairs with storage functions will help save space and keep things tidy.

5. Install hooks and hangers
Walls and doors are great places to mount hooks to help store jackets, bags, and towels. This will prevent you from leaving things on the seats or floor, which will increase comfort and safety.

6. Use the space in your bathroom
In the bathroom, it is worth installing shelves or baskets on the walls to store cosmetics, towels and other small items. Choose shelves and baskets that can be mounted on doors or walls to make the most of the available space.

7. Minimize the amount of stuff you take

Before every trip, think about which items are truly essential. Avoid packing “just in case.” The fewer items you have, the easier it is to stay organized and find a place for everything you need.

8. Magnetic mounts
- Magnetic Holders: Use neodymium magnets to hold metal items like kitchen knives, openers or keys.
- Magnetic strips: Install strips on your walls to store tools, spices in metal containers or even cups with metal handles.

9. Sliding shelves and drawers
- Instead of classic cabinets, install shelves that can be pulled out. This will make it easier to reach things at the back.
- It is worth installing "cargo" systems in the kitchen – pull-out baskets for food products and dishes.

10. Extendable countertops and tables
- In the kitchen, install a countertop that can be extended when needed and folded to save space.
- A hinged table that can be folded against the wall will work well as both a dining and working space.

11. Hanging nets and organizers
- Install nets made of rubber or elastic material under the ceiling in which you can store light items such as clothes, blankets or children's toys.
- The nets can also be used as additional storage space for fruit or bread in the kitchen.

12. Ceiling storage
- Use the space between the ceiling and the driver's cabin - it's the perfect place for
light but larger items such as travel bags or jackets.
- Install foldable cabinets or shelves on the ceiling that can be folded away when not needed.

13. Mirrors and light colors
- Mirrors on doors or cabinets optically enlarge the space.
- Choose light colours for furniture and walls that add a sense of spaciousness.

14. Multifunctional storage compartments in the seats
- Install seats with opening storage compartments. Inside you can store shoes, books, clothes or less frequently used accessories.
- The benches in a campervan can also function as a storage box.

15. Portable organizers
- Create mobile organizers that can be easily moved between the campervan and home, such as clothes bags or food containers.
- This solution makes it easier to pack faster before traveling.

16. Sunshades and thermal insulation
- Install thermal blinds or use curtains made of heat-reflecting material to keep the interior of your campervan cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
- Magnetic window covers are easy to install and provide privacy.

17. Flexible LED lighting
- Install LED strips in different parts of the campervan – under cabinets, in the bed or in the kitchen.
- Brightness-adjustable strips allow you to adjust the light to your needs and save energy.

18. External storage compartments
- If there is space outside in your campervan, install roof boxes or racks for sports equipment, tools or spare gas bottles.
- Bicycle racks integrated into the campervan allow you to save space inside.

19. Collapsible sinks and dryers
- A foldable sink or dish drainer that can be hidden away when not in use is a great way to save space in the kitchen.

20. Door arrangement
- Install hooks, fabric pockets or elastic bands on the inside of the door to store small items.
- The door can also function as a magnetic board for attaching notes or travel plans.

21. Roll up rugs and curtains
- Use roll-up rugs that can be easily rolled up and stored when not needed.
- Curtains on rails allow you to separate spaces, e.g. a bedroom from a kitchen area.

22. Practical outdoor equipment
- Install a slide-out kitchen or table on the outside of your campervan to cook outdoors.
- An awning or folding roof will increase the usable space outside and protect against sun or rain.

Remember that the key to effective campervan storage is creativity and attention to every inch of space. With the above solutions, your trips will become more comfortable and organized.
