You could think of storing in France ... reducing costs of ferries, fuel, driving time, and any concerns re space/security storing at home. It can be quite inexpensive. We've found it makes a considerable difference.

hi there are 3 of us in our fiesta (me the husband and our son). in our camper we plates, cups chopping board, kettle and toaster and heater and mini oven, in one cupboard, other has bits and bobs box in, folding hangers, mini camping hob which we use a BBQ, side pieces for the hob and sink unit, small plastic bin in other cupboard. under the bench seat we have 3 camping chairs, camping table one that has the slats on it, windbreak LED strip light for kitchen tent, clothes hanging rail, curtain poles for camper, fold up stool. then in cupboards at front duvet rolled up, curtains and roof lining. on the floor we have a small aquaroll, waste container, tv, tv pole for ariel, step, shelf unit and small clothes horse. once folded there is a space on top at side for a kitchen tent which we use for storage for putting the table in and hanging wet stuff in.
we find our fiesta has plenty of space. we spent 7 days in cornwall never used the awning just a kitchen tent.
all we had in car was 3 flight bags (small cabin ones) for our clothes another bag and pillows we do food shop when we get to our desination.
hope this helps :)

Enjoy your Countryman.
We bought an Oldie (1996) off eBay 4 years ago with every intention of using it for one long europe trip and then selling it. 2, 6 week trips later....and several long weekends in the UK and we're struggling to part with it. Just got back from Cornwall this week and we're off to France again in August.
I've no idea how you could get near the weight limit. Admittedly we don't have a motor mover but ours is always pretty rammed (awning, poles, x4 chairs, bbq, bedding, food, kids toys, etc etc). When we first got it I weighed everything, checked nose-weight when loaded etc etc. Overall loadwise we were at least 65kg under the limit have therefore often filled the spaces with Vin plonk on the way home.
