Best Packing Boxes?

[Woolley]

We are a few months in to Beach life. If we could improve packing - life would be sweeter! Can you recommend robust boxes which fit under the multiplex board, could be used as extra seating and look cool? Any tips would be great....

Euroboxes / Eurocontainers have worked very well for us in our beach setup.

We use the stackable really useful boxes - we have a big one that's used for dry food, and some smaller ones for cooking items and clothing. They are slightly irritating in that you need to restack to open up the lid of a lower one in the stack. When travelling, we slide the multiflex forward so there are two big stacks of RUBs next to each other behind the multiflex, and the portable toilet off to the side. The big awning bag travels on top of the RUBs.

I really should have taken a picture of this!

The other ones that people recommend are the Muji sliding drawers - you'll find some posts with pictures on this forum.

Thanks - yes pics would be really useful. I want to get so organised that we can fly out of the front door at a moments notice - as a family - and head to the beach for an overnighter. Two is easy, as a family - not so. Any other tips to make this possible? (I know we should take less!)

You'll find pictures on these old threads:

Boxes for under multiflex board

I have had these boxes for about 20years made by "Allibert" french company and bought from a storage company in Leeds, I did a write up on here about 4 years ago? John

Ideal Beach rear strorage boxes?

Hi all, I need to find some storage boxes to fit in the back of our T6 Beach. Does anyone know of a supplier for boxes that use the space to maximum effect? Best wishes, Mike and Maddy

Just be aware that not all Euroboxes are created equal. Based on previous threads, I recently purchased some from Solent Plastics which I'm quite happy with. The note of caution is that while the external dimensions may all be the same so that they all stack, different models can be more or space efficient, e.g. 60l vs. 62l vs. 66l usable volume for the same external size. I ended up getting these:


I was also a bit gutted to find that the Calicap drawer wasn't exactly the same width as any Eurobox configuration, but I guess they're limited by the Cali boot dimensions. However, the 600mm wide box and the Thetford 335 will just about squeeze in next to each other, so that pleased the perfectionist in me.

I like the boxes from the company "Really Useful Boxes". Really robust and loads of different sizes. They stack very well too, especially when you de-bus your stuff in to the awning.

Plus one for "really useful boxes"-Ive posted this on another thread but this is our packing sequence for a family of 4 with a Khyam Motordome Sleeper, BBQ and boxes for a two week (or more) stay.
We slide the multiplex forward and then use the available space to take just about everything but the kitchen sink !
