Well we have finally bought our first Motor Home and would love to hear from anyone with good space saving tips for managing in one of the smaller Motorhomes on the market

Margaret & Alan

How small is it?

Collapsable or folding are your key words, we have folding baskets, buckets, washing up bowls, folding handle saucepans etc.

Don't carry chairs etc unless there is a good chance you will use them.  Ours only go when a heatwave is a certainty and travel behind the cab seats.  We laugh at how much stuff some people seem to carry all year round and don't appear to use it eg chairs when minus 8 outside.  We have seen more than 1 person carrying a ladder around. 

Don't have tons of pans etc.  We have 2 small ones. 

Small containers of coffee etc as you can top them up after each trip.

We have a Duetto Margaret (similar size to yours) and we haven't bought an awning yet as we tend to stay only a couple of nights on one site and a lot of our trips are 1 night only.  We bought our first van in 2003 so doubt we will ever get round to it unless we change our touring habits.

I do see the sense of them but they do cost quite a bit of money and take up room if they arent used.

Could you borrow one to try it out ?
