DOWNSIZING From Motorhome To Elddis CV20 Campervan STORAGE ISSUES! What Do We Carry?

- In this video we show what we carry and how we’re planning to store it after downsizing from the “luxury” storage options in a motorhome to the more restrictive space in a campervan. The main way that works for us is segregation of items we use a lot versus what we don’t need on every trip, we also show how we store things we only use once or twice a year.

Good video, but I don't think there is a requirement to have a fire bucket, only requirement for the Caravan club and the Camping and Caravan club is a fire extinguisher, which can be fairly compact. keep up the good videos
Thanks 🙏
Really helpful advice, we get our van on Thursday, so we will be adopting a similar strategy to packing having watched your vlog. Thank you
Aww you’re welcome lovely to hear, enjoy the new van!
Really useful information for newbies like us as to what you take - I think I’ve gone a bit overboard with kit!!! Need to read up on the fire bucket requirements...didn’t know anything about that. I think the additions you done to the van insulation, boxing in, shelving, tables and wind deflectors are excellent. I think we didn’t realise what could be achieved to improve the functionality. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and appreciating 👍 I’m always pleased that I’m helping people 😊
Nice to see how you guys go about the storage issue.
Some great ideas Rick, think I might even borrow some.
That’s why I do it.
Fantastic video as always. Great to see the little storage areas you have created to give you more space so you can take everything you need to.
Absolutely brilliant!
Because you are not new to this, you definitely are familiar what you definitely need and what you can keep behind, but use at a later date.
I remember when Mom and Dad moved to a fifth wheel trailer (camper) to their first motorhome and loading up what they needed, which was still a lot.
Leveling blocks, etc., like stated, you might need depending on the site.
I loved your ingenuity on making the most of your compact space. Well done, both of you!
Thanks again 😊
@@RickandHeather You're welcome Rick and Heather!
Watching your vlog reminds me when I went with Dad to have their motorhome repaired, serviced or purchasing add-ons.
Brilliant stuff again you two. Really enjoying the channel. Can’t agree with Heather saying she isn’t natural in front of camera. You have obviously put a lot of thought into this. Makes a lot of sense.
She isn’t keen gets very flustered (I deleted 103 cock up videos 😂) she will get there tho! I think the thing is I don’t have to think about it I just waffle on easily but Heather over thinks it.... 👍
Heather here, if I don't think about it I'm ok, but as soon as i try to plan what I am going to say I forget what things are called etc and get more and more tongue tied, we do have some laughs doing it though
Good video, interesting to see where you store everything. We also have a small van, it is an Accordo 105 and being coachbuilt it does have a bit more storage space. I keep our hookup cables under the drivers seat along with a towel for drying it.

We didn’t even know about under the driver seat until this video went live and someone said on Facebook 😂
Great ideas very informative, We will be downsizing within the next couple of years so tips taken on board cheers 👍
( only just noticed my notifications weren’t turned on for your vids so no wonder I wasn’t getting them come through ! 😂)
😂 we thought you’d fell out with us 🤣
@@RickandHeather 😂🤣
Great ideas guys, thank you.
You’re welcome 👍
Brilliant x
Thanks Gill ❤️
Wow. We think you enjoy modifying your van. Some great ideas. Just wondering what your availability is for any suggestions you may have on ours 😂👍
I’m not afraid to alter things to make it more useable, and I honestly don’t care if people say “he’s ruining it” ultimately it has to do what I want it to do.
@@RickandHeather and..... it’s your van 👍
Enjoyed the video,just one question,when you are on site and want to go out anywhere to visit,do you have to pack up the van.Or do you tow a small run about,ta ?
The little green tent is used to throw a few bits in and left on our pitch, definitely don’t tow a runabout if I wanted to do that I’d buy a caravan
@@RickandHeather Thanks for letting me know much appreciated xx
Hi just found you on TH-cam, loving the content. Just some quick questions about the flag pole. Where did you purchase it from ? what size is it? and how do you stake it to the ground ? Keep up the good work 👍🏻 cheers Shaun.
The flag pole was off eBay years ago now it was 6m but broke in the wind ages ago so lost 1.5m I’m after a new one! You buy a stake and hammer it in and the pole slides on.
Hi Heather, great informative video as ever, where did the red boxes for the lockers come from please?
They are years old, so unfortunately not a recent purchase, we have just been lucky that they fit. H
@@RickandHeather Thanks anyway we will keep searching thanks 👍
How do your dogs travel in the van? Ours (will be) the Elldis CV60 when we get it in July.
We have a sausage dog and wondered what was the best way to travel with him keeping him secure.
The little one sits on the floor in the passenger footwell (harness and lead on) and is happy enough the lab has a harness and short lead fastened to the driver seat belt anchor and sits behind the sliding door
Very interesting video, thanks , where do you store bedding ?
You mean during the day? We obviously don’t leave it in while not using the van, we use Duvalays so they roll up into bags and will sit on the driver seat and the pillows above the cab.
@@RickandHeather We currently have duvelays which we roll up and they go in the shower room on our current van which is quite large but obviously on our new CV20 it will be smaller so just wondered what you do with the bedding when travelling ?
@@colinnewmarch1106 we will probably do that or on the floor between the seats
Where do you store bedding etc
We don’t “store” it, we just roll it up and have it as a backrest by the rear doors
What do you do with your bedding?
We use duvalays and just roll them up against the back doors like a big cushion, I don’t really see the point of trying to hide bedding away.
Hey great video, we are in the same position thinking of downsizing from a large Elddis motorhome...so we were waiting to see but you did not show it...where do you keep your bedding? Also how do you get on for kitchen side storage like kettle etc, we have a lot of spare space around and behind sink and cooker curreny, so was wondering how you get on? Thanks
We have invested in Duvalays since downsizing and roll them up and store in between the bed while travelling then on the drivers seat when parked up, they roll up into a bag. We have also swapped to a collapsible kettle and saucepans that fit in each other with removable handles to help with storage, it’s surprising what you actually need to take.... thanks for watching hope that was helpful.
@@RickandHeather not heard of those will take a look. Keep posting, we tried to join a FB page for these vans but your only allowed to join if you already own sadly.
@@paulsellen1694 you can join if you’re potentially buying one. Are you sure you read it right?
@@RickandHeather the administration messaged when we tried to join to say only if you own or have one on order? I explained we were reviewing and trying to learn more but was not allowed in.
I was thinking how do you get a collapsible electric kettle and then realised you mean gas kettle lol! Yes it was electric we use hence wondering where to put on the side.
Where do you store your bedding please?
We roll it up (Duvalays) and it sits by the back doors.
@@RickandHeather thank you I presume you then move it to the cab area when pitched up
Not usually no, we’re not the type of people who need to have scatter cushions and throws everywhere to make it look “nice” we go for practical over presentable.
