Thankfully, the experts at Sterling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/campervan-insurance\/\">know a thing or two about campervans. <\/a> We&#8217;ve outlined the best tips for packing your campervan given the limited space on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-don-t-fill-your-campervan-completely\">1. Don\u2019t fill your campervan completely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common mistakes people make when they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/campervan\/first-time-campervan-drivers\/\">first start campervanning<\/a> is that they tend to pack more than they need. In a campervan&#8217;s confined space, taking too many personal items can quickly cause issues, especially if you\u2019re sharing the space with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, we recommend that you fill your campervan to just over half capacity. This way, you have space for souvenirs and gifts, extra food, dirty laundry, and other items that might need to be tucked away while you\u2019re travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This might seem nerve-wracking at first \u2013 especially if you&#8217;re using or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/campervan\/10-tips-for-when-you-hire-a-campervan-for-the-first-time\/\">hiring a campervan for the first time<\/a> and don\u2019t know what to expect \u2013 but there are some cheats that will help with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-only-take-what-you-need\">2. Only take what you need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sterling-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/how-to-pack-campervan-guide-bikes-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26389\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You would be surprised how little you actually need while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/campervan\/the-ultimate-guide-to-buying-a-campervan\/\">living in a campervan<\/a>. Although you might be tempted to pack up your entire home kitchen, chances are you can get by on a lot less than you would expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re travelling as a couple, two sets of cutlery, bowls and plates will usually be enough. Likewise, for a family of four, four sets of each will likely be enough too. After all, in such a small space, you\u2019ll probably need to stay on top of the dishes anyway. This will also help prevent you from attracting any insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-pack-extra-layers-of-clothing-if-you-re-unsure-about-the-weather\">3. Pack extra layers of clothing if you\u2019re unsure about the weather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Layering your clothes is one of the most effective ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/campervan\/diy-campervan-insulation\/\">stay warm in cold weather<\/a> while you&#8217;re on the go as warm air gets trapped between the layers. If you\u2019re not sure what the weather will be like, it\u2019s a good idea to pack a couple of outer layers too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need to pack lots of different bulky coats and jackets; instead, bring along layers like a couple of fleeces or sweatshirts, a couple of jackets, and a few pairs of long johns in case of cold weather. If worst comes to worst, you can always stop by a laundrette to wash your clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-make-use-of-space-outside\">4. Make use of space outside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you reach your destination, a great way to explore the area is to get around on a bicycle. If you\u2019re worried they\u2019ll take up too much space in your campervan, a good alternative is to install a van swing towbar to the back of your van. This allows you to access the back of your van even with bikes secured to the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-secure-items-to-the-inside-of-your-van-with-hooks-velcro-and-bungee-cords\">5. Secure items to the inside of your van with hooks, velcro and bungee cords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll probably find that some items are bulky and difficult to store, in which case they can be secured by a bungee cord or velcro, or placed on a hook. These items can add to the decor of your camper too, so it\u2019s good to get creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people use bungee cords to secure items like shoes, magazines or books. Some even use them to secure heavier items like surfboards or instruments to the roof or wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few well-placed hooks can help you hang towels, hats, keys, and more, allowing you to use valuable wall space as storage. Velcro can also help secure items to prevent them from moving around while you\u2019re on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-keep-essential-documents-within-easy-reach\">6. Keep essential documents within easy reach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you keep your essential documents close to hand so they\u2019re easy to retrieve when you need them. Items include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proof of identification (e.g. driving licence or passport)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Green card if you\u2019re travelling outside of the UK<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Valid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/campervan-insurance\/\">campervan insurance<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cash and some way of taking out money (if necessary)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phone and charger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Physical maps if you\u2019re travelling to a remote location<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any medications you need for your trip<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good way of ensuring that you always know where these items are is to store them in the glove compartment or a bag you keep with you while you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll also want to make sure that items you\u2019ll need during your trip are easy to take out. This includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/short-term\/road-trip-packing-list\/\">road trip essentials<\/a> like water, snacks, and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-sort-your-items-by-use\">7. Sort your items by use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much like you would when moving house, categorising your possessions by \u2018room\u2019 can help keep your personal possessions organised. This, in turn, will help you retrieve items when you need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-pack-the-heaviest-items-first\">8. Pack the heaviest items first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sterling-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/how-to-pack-campervan-guide-campers-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26391\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a general rule, it\u2019s a good idea to use your heaviest items as a \u2018base layer\u2019. This will give you a solid foundation and will also prevent heavy items from toppling over, which can be dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important that your heavy items are distributed evenly across the van for improved safety. You should try to put heavier items in the middle of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a good idea to put heavy items that could roll around, such as tinned food, into a container to prevent them from moving too much during your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-think-about-the-storage-spaces-you-have\">9. Think about the storage spaces you have<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no point in packing cutlery and crockery in a high cupboard if you know that when the van moves, the cupboard doors open and items will fall out. A bungee cord strap with two pegs on either side of the cupboards can help keep your cupboards closed if you find this is an issue. You might also want to put fragile items like crockery down low, ensuring they\u2019re wrapped well to prevent breakages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creative solutions are key. For example, you might decide to store your kettle or pots and pans in the sink if you don\u2019t have another good place to put them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most campervans have some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/campervan\/campervan-storage-ideas\/\">storage space<\/a> underneath seating spaces, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/campervan\/campervan-bed-ideas\/\">beds<\/a> and tables. Before you pack important items in any of these spaces, consider how accessible each space is. As a general rule of thumb, the less frequently you use an item, the less accessible it needs to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-store-your-outdoor-furniture-in-the-back-of-your-van\">10. Store your outdoor furniture in the back of your van<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing you\u2019ll want to do when you get to the campsite is to relax, but doing so can seem impossible if you\u2019ve packed your camping chairs away. Storing chairs in the back of your van is a great way of accessing these items easily. You could also secure these items with bungee cords or wedge them behind the passenger seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-11-store-bedding-and-clothes-high-up\">11. Store bedding and clothes high up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Softer items like bedding and clothing can be stored safely in overhead cubbies. Even if these cupboards open while you\u2019re on the go, this will prevent any of your possessions from becoming damaged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-12-invest-in-items-like-a-tool-roll-for-sharp-objects\">12. Invest in items like a tool roll for sharp objects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although you might have a drawer for cutlery, you might feel a bit wary about adding sharp knives to this drawer, especially while driving. A tool roll is a great way of keeping your knives secure while on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-13-be-kind-to-yourself-plan-a-quick-first-meal\">13. Be kind to yourself: plan a quick first meal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sterling-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/how-to-pack-campervan-guide-cooking-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Person cooking in campervan with view of outside, about to stir something in saucepan\" class=\"wp-image-26396\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an important one for families with small children! After living off petrol station food and snacks, you\u2019ll probably want something a little more nutritious, but travelling can take it out of you. Prepping a meal at home or buying a couple of ready meals is a good way of taking the pressure off on your first night.
