Take all the inside stuff to the van a day or so before we go and set up the fixed bed.

Outside stuff goes in the car with us. Just easier to sort out on site with the wife setting up inside whilst I do outside. In the car we also have the bathroom stuff which has to be a last minute pack.

If we take any food it will be frozen and put i nthe fridge as we set off so that by the time we get there it will have thawed and ready to cook. Just pop fridge on as we set off. If we do take any fridge stuff we wrap it in bendable freezer blocks to keep it cool till the fridge gets up to speed. We tend to pick sites in areas that sell food so don't take much with us.

Trust me, once you get into a routine that suits you it will be a doddle.

my mrs hangs the clothes in the wardrobe and put the stuff in cuboards, toilet stuff goes in the lot. as said we hook the van up to the house so fridge gets nice and cold before we leave, it'll run on the battery while we're travelling so every thing is cold when we get there.

Last time we did it the van was out side for the night before we left, hooked up aswell and we had no problems.

We leave the van loaded with things like coffee squash, and pack the car with everything else, load the van up when we get to storage.

For cold food we take it in a cool box with icepacks and that stays cool long enough for the fridge to get cold once hooked up.

Can't do as one suggestion as the new drive is not really long enough to get a van on and the road is narrow.  Never seen the bendable freeze blocks, that is something to look out for.  Didn't think of a sprayer and can.  I suppose I can hang everything up once there while OH sets up, I usually just put the kettle on and sit down

You have all made something that I considered onerous sound quite easy. 

 Thanks everyone
