Storage space in caravans are created by making use of every square inch of their interiors. A caravan that has recently been developed, for example, has an under-bed storage area that is accessible from the outside of the caravan as well as the inside. This particular model has cupboards and fixings you would normally find in a domestic environment. For example, the surfaces in the living area are high-gloss laminate which is more usually found in High Street kitchen showrooms. Not a conventional touring caravan then, but some aspects of its layout are innovative and may be the trend for future generations of caravan design.

Motor homes are an alternative to towing a caravan and can be surprisingly comfortable. Some modern motor homes have a microwave, conventional oven and a fridge with an extendable work surface that tucks away above the fridge when not in use. There is plenty of storage space which is easy to access. Its washroom has a sink that moves to create a shower cubicle. The kitchen and washroom’s compactness add to the living space in the rest of the unit.

Storage of caravans at home can be quite a nuisance. One solution to the problem might be to store your unit on site at a favourite holiday place as part of a caravanning club. You have the option to store your unit all year round or for a particular season. The fee will typically include two nights’ camping every month on very nearly any caravan club site.

Holidaying in caravans is still popular in Britain. While it is pleasant to have the enjoyment of a break in routine that will not cost a fortune, the owner has one particular problem owing to the limited space inside the caravan – that of storage.

Not only must the user find room to keep clothes and other essentials, but he or she must also ensure that the more fragile items are safely stored whilst the family are travelling.

Storage racking for plates, bowls and other breakable crockery and glass are a sensible idea and easy to find. A typical ‘x’ shaped plate or crockery rack would measure 27w x 12h x 20d cm and may be secured inside a cupboard or locker. Integrated seating will have storage space underneath them for miscellaneous items. Cupboards holding cooking implements such as pans and dishes would also benefit from storage racking and sliding rather than hinged door would be a lot safer for the occupants. If hinged doors are used, they should be lockable to prevent them swinging open and causing an accident while the caravan is in motion.

There are containers available for purchase online to help with space saving, such as the pull-out narrow, two or three tiered wire basket which will hold cleaning products for instance and will fit comfortably into any small space. Other useful items include the bench-top ironing board, retractable clothes airer and wall-mountable wire spice rack. The spice rack could also be used to store condiments. A caravan which is organised well can be beautiful to sleep in.
