Morepints, we changed from tent to VW 'van many years ago. We had used plastic crates for packing the car for tent use, so used the same system for the 'van. We shuffled all our tubs/crates around so they took up the greatest amount of space, mainly under the bed, and it worked perfectly for us. Then 2 years ago we changed our 'van for a completely different layout, so had to rethink the whole thing. We still use tubs, but they have to be smaller now as the spaces are more confined.
And the other item we discovered are packing cubes. If you've not had these, they are nylon zipper bags, but flat cube shaped. We did buy some from IKEA but I also copied the design and made some myself. They have transformed our packing, particularly OH's, who kept his clothing in a muddly mess.

Morepints, get that tape measure out and measure your spaces. Sort through your boxes and see if you can find ones that fit the spaces, maybe more than one per space. Use height as well. If you really don't have any boxes, take yourself to B&M with the dimensions, they have a huge selection at modest prices. Look in all the sections, bathroom, kitchen, office etc. Maybe even a cat litter tray....All these are used like drawers, you can pull them out for access to the contents.
Then, when you have the boxes in place, look at your 'stuff' and reorganise it to fit the boxes. Some 'stuff' you don't need often, if at all, can be stuffed away at the back. Other things you use all the time need to be handy.
Another tip is for anything 'puffy', sleeping bags, gilets etc. As you know, they expand to fit the space. Either use straps to contain them when not in use, or roll and stuff them into the smallest bag you can find to fit. Again, I made ours, but with a bit of searching round cheap shops you should find something suitable.
