Packing a van that you live in is a lot different from packing a van for a road trip.
, but when I started packing my camper, all that space spoiled me. Suddenly I’m thousands of miles and several weeks into my trip and my rig is crammed with a bunch of stuff I haven’t used once.When you have everything laid out for prioritizing, take a hard look at what you really need and what you can leave behind. Those “just-in-case” items I mentioned? You’re likely never going to use any of them. Most of the “occasional” items too.
Bungee cords can be a useful tool for keeping like-items together. I have a few pairs of shoes bunched together that way under my bed, and my rooftop cargo box is stuffed with different categories of gear bungeed in groups. These stretchy cords can also be useful for keeping single items in place rather than bouncing around your ride.
While this requires a bit more construction know-how than a mere bed platform, it’s worth going the extra mile for accessible storage that will make your camper feel less like a van and more like a home.Nick Hilden writes reviews and recommendations coverage of fitness, outdoor and tech gear for Popular Science.
