Hi
I'm not experienced (and this is my first time posting) but I know there is a thread on here somewhere that answers this exactly as I've read it myself. Perhaps try doing a search for the key words?
We have also just bought a Conway Countryman and have used it 3 times now. Each time, we are getting better at packing it away though it still takes me and my husband a little while to do so. We manage to get everything we need packed in it and there's still plenty of room. We leave all the bedding on (just strap it down), pillows and cushions in the under-sofa storage, sofa back fittings and wooden back boards in under-sofa storage that houses electrics, curtains and inner linings in the cupboard by the door (we leave the bed pod linings on), all kitchen equipment left in cupboards in sink area. Then that leaves the floor space for the water carriers (one each side of the kitchen end); the table (stands flat against the kitchen units); 2 chairs, sofa back cushions, wall shelf unit, curtain poles, small bin, camper step all on floor between the 2 sofas. We still have space left in this area. The awning and bed skirts all fit in a convenient space on the right hand side when the camper is folded up before the cover goes over. All tools, cables etc fit in the front panel where the gas bottle goes.
Phew!
The only thing we have to remember to do is leave space at the kitchen end (in the middle) to allow the steadying leg to swing down and stand on the floor when folded.
Hope this helps but remember - I am new to this! LOVE my camper though 😀

Reading this thread with interest as we are the new owners of a Pennine Fiesta, and have been told that we can leave all bedding in the camper and there is quite a fair amount of space to fit other things in when you fold the camper up. Not sure where we will put pillows but might get some of those vacuum bags that you roll the air out of so that we can maybe get the pillows and cushions in the storage areas.
I am in the process of getting things to kit out the kitchen cupboards, so that we can be away at a moment's notice without having to scramble around collecting all the essentials, just a case of sorting out our personal necessities and clothes which doesn't take long.
Interesting to read how other people find space for their gear, too.
