Tent is in a bedroom and so is the tent carpet.
All the rest of the stuff is in the trailer on the drive. It is secured and covered.

I have two of my smaller tents in the loft.  Main tent ontop of the wardrobe, some camping equipment under the stairs in the cupboard, stuff in shed.  The rest still in the car from last camping trip.   I have problems finding places.

All ours is in the garage in boxes but sleeping bags are in the house in the wardrobe. I think we might need a trailer too.

For a cooker with grill we have a Sunngas double burner. Our grill works great for toast too. Think we will be taking Uno stove next time we go though as not much space in the car!

Most of my tents/cooking/lighting stuff are on a wooden rack system in my bedroom along with some fishing rods(Propped up in the far away corner)

I have a lock up....But have an ongoing battle with mice..Whom..a few years ago... decided to nest in my rod bag....and use the cork handles on my good rods as nesting material....Was not nice on my 1st fishing trip of the season to see a whole family of mice run out of the bag when I laid it on the ground....Nor to find all my rods useless.....

Bit of a bind carrying all the gear 4 flights up and down to my flat....But I am not risking my tents or fishing gear in there again....Can hardly get in the lock up anyway due to all that "Stuff" stored in there that might come in handy some day.....

Note to self....Hire a skip some day next year....and have a good clear out......

Jelboy.

I used to store my stuff in the garden shed - until I had the same as Jelboy and ended up with a mouse-eaten caravan cover. Now I find spaces behind wardrobes, on top of wardrobes, behind the settee, in the cupboard under the stairs... takes me a lot of time to find it all again come spring - and that's without tents! I have two awnings, both presently stored inside the caravan, as I can't find anywhere to put them.

I thought of getting an outside storage unit (made of plastic) something like this but wondered if that would really be mice/weather proof either!!

Whole lot goes up in the loft.

Jax365 I've got something similar that we keep the kindling for the stove in and it stays lovely and dry, can't comment on the mouseproof qualities as our tom cat kills them all.

Dance before the storm and don't look back to where you've been.

If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, you obviously haven't grasped the gravity of the situation.

I don't want it I just need it.

No mouse problems here due to my kitty kats.

However as predicted Husband bought a trailer today. Am now the proud owner of a pre loved Daxara 158 with hard lid. He'll spend the next while doing it up. Then I can filll it with the camping gear as I acquire it. Only have a kettle so far!! Off now to start a thread on where do you store your trailer! lol!
