  • Living in a tiny space can be harsh on storage (especially when you DON’T have a fixed bed) but is totally manageable. We’ve been living full time in our campervan and went through 4 seasons, going from freezing mornings to boiling evenings. We go to the grocery store once a week, have plenty of clothes to last 7 days and can store paddleboards and wetsuits in our tiny Promaster 136’’.
    Here’s our best storage IDEAS and organization HACKS!

    Thanks, Marie and Dom for showing us your home storage. I cannot believe you can get so much in such a small space, and keep it so clean and beautiful. It really is a beautiful home. Have a great week, y’all, and stay safe ..🧡🧡hugs to you both.

      Sieve or strainer...same thing. Usually made with mesh (plastic or metal). Tiny openings.
      Colander = usually one piece (plastic or metal or ceramic) with holes drilled/stamped out of it.
      For vanlife needs, the sieve/strainer would be all you need. Tho have seen collapsible colanders. Probably wouldn't use very often.

    It is like a v large thermos with 2 removable stainless steel containers.U throw in meat veg liquid to season and cook..bring to a rolling boil on any cooking heat..when boiling quickly put in thermos container and close lid..this will slow cook all day and your meal will be cookef when you arrive at your destination..no fuss after a long day driving or if you are away hiking etc !

    For cloths we use packing cubes. you can get different sizes on Amazon or in many big box stores.The medium and small sizes do the best. We pack the cubes and label the cube so we know what has what piece of clothing we are looking for. Also you can get different colors for his and hers. They pack tight and if we have to travel on public transport they pack easily in to a travel bag.

    A trick for organizing your clothes: you can roll up your t-shirts (and other clothes) - they will take up less space this way in the cabinet, and it is much easier to take a t-shirt from the cabinet, from the middle of the pile, without ruining the whole pile.
