Campervan cupboards - what do you keep in yours?

[PopGoesTheWeaz]

We're thinking about getting a camervan - vw t25 most likely. Some have loads of cupboards and others have just one unit, but then a full row of seats across the back. I'm totally blanking as to what you would use the cupboards for and wondering if we cuold get away with the full bench bed.

We had lwb t5 conversion (now have a caravan so oodles of space to carry around tat) it had a narrower bed and then cupboards and kitchen stuff, hob and sink along the edge, one space was the fridge, in the cupboard under the sink we kept all the pots and pans, crockery, the kettle, lantern, bin bags, washing up stuff, the leisure battery was in there too.

The gas bottles and water carrier were next to the bed/seat accessed from the rear and there was a cupboard above that we stored clothes, games etc.

2 drawers/drawer sized cupbords for cutlery and food

Little wall lockers for mugs, tea bags, playing cards, batteries etc.

For a long time we had the bench seat at the front which had a large storage area under it, loo rolls, wash kit first aid kit, laundry stuff and pegs a fan heater.

Bedding went under the bed/ seat each day, that takes up a surprising amount of space.

So we definitely used the cupboards and you will fill any availability space BUT the bed was tiny, Dh and I are slim but it still felt small for us. In the end he slept in the pop up roof with one DC (bigger bed) and I shared the bed with the other DC.

thank you, that's really helpful. I was thinking about traveling for some reason, but of course it is while you are actually camping that I'm sure those cabinets become really useful.

We have a t25 Devon, just been away for 2 weeks
Small cupboard tea/coffee, 4 mugs, 4 glasses, chopping board, foil/cling film etc
Under this is another cupboard with plates, cutlery drawer, under that gin, folding colander and other bits
Bigger cupboard has food.tins packets etc 9n top shelf, under that has gas bottle a set of pans, some bottles etc
Has a 3/4 bed so we then have a big space where we put all sorts, washing up bowl, elec kettle, toilet bags etc
This cupboard also has a sliding drawer and this is the "man" drawer
At the back there is a wardrobe, 2 holdalls, bedding
A long cupboard across back seat we use for towels etc
There is loads of room for 2 and it is doable for 4 although we did take a tent as well. I am always amazed just how much we can fit In!
Whatever you go with take time to make sure it's solid and well looked after.
