We have an up and over garage door and my oh built a shelf across/above it so most goes there.  The rest is in the trailer.  Have heard of loads of horror mice stories, but I guess they can get anywhere so everwhere is a risk!

I keep all my gear in the trailer in the garage.  The trailer is thankfully covered, but I have had mice in the garage - which thankfully a few spring loaded traps have taken care of (for the moment).

Trailer is loaded and ready for the next trip.

Everything in a large wardrobe in our brick-built shed, or if not fit, things like tables, windbreaks stashed down side of wardrobe. The tent and sleeping bags are stashed in bedroom.

(we have 2 cats, so no mice problem

I would not put the gas bottles under the stairs! 

If you have a house fire then the last thing you want is the stairs been given a helping hand to burn / be blown apart!.

Same problem here Margie.  I've pulled the wardrobe across away from the corner of the bedroom and store the box upright to the side of the wardrobe and the wall - doesn't look very nice but no-where else for it to go!

HI .

The gas bottle is kept in the garden shed , just everything esle under the stairs including a 5 years toy box etc , you can only just go up and down the hall, also have two tents in shed, if any one came in are house the first thing to meet them would be the camping stuff.

Most of my stuff gets stored in the shed but sleeping bags etc remain in the house - I always have it all in one corner so it can be moved from shed to car without worrying that I have left something behind - everything has its place and if its missing I know straight away.

We are another lot that store it under the stairs, Well apart from the gas bottle that in our brick outhouse.

I like to keep it all together so we can grab and go and we know we have everything packed when under the stairs is then empty, well apart from another tent and a pair of crutches.
