Chairs ,cupboards and awning poles all go in the central well in ours,hook up,lights,fan heater,sun canopy poles,ext leads,pegs and spares in the side lockers. In the front box,light stuff,water and waste,loo,bin,spirit level,trolley,chocks and boards for trailer and kitchen legs. Under the main cover goes the awning,sun canopy,annex,ground sheet (in a waterproof bag) and a table. All the cooking and eating gear goes in the kitchen. This little lot comes nowhere near the max weight,the carrying capacity of trailer tents is generous compared to folding campers,the gross max of mine is twice the unladen. Both of your chosen models are only slightly heavier than mine if they have a kitchen,both are lighter without.

Cupboards mainly in ours. I lament the amount of space our step takes up. In the side cupboards I have kettle & toaster and all the linings etc. Front box I have the EHU, and I don't know what else, as it needs a bit of organisation this weekend! We're getting ready for our fortnight to Holland next week, but won't be ready until the night before we go, but i'll post pics if I can, and not doing last-minute packing!
(NB. Bike racks appear to be like rocking horse s***. New they are £270, second-hand at a dealer £150+. Lucky to get ours from a breaker for £100)

Hi,
I have a put a picture on my profile of our packed Galleon (note the image is the wrong way round - I can't rotate it?) I think the inside of the Galleon is roughly the same size as the Cabanon's. Basically as Navver says, it's best to concentrate on fitting in everything to do with the tent inside the tent and we manage to do this easily in ours. We have 2 awnings, all the poles, groundsheets and a couple of chairs in the centre as you see on the picture. In the 2 lockers either side, we fit in kitchen stuff that doesn't fit in the kitchen e.g. heater, kettle and toaster plus all of the bedding i.e. sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, mattress toppers and a duvet. We are 2 adults and 2 small children.
The front boxes are great and can be pretty large- however, watch your weight as you will have a nose weight limit which for us is 49kg so it's easy to overfill. It's a massive jigsaw puzzle and you just have to experiment!!

On this side, I have the underbed tents, and some of the wall panels from the porch
In the middle, I have poles, 3 x cupboards, a table, pegs and the EHU (Following the advice to put the step in the front box). Also, the clothes airer.
And on the right, I have a couple more panels, toaster, kettle, light and pump.
Unfortunately I stuffed up the booking with Wightlink Ferries, so we couldn't all take bikes, so only DD's on this one.
