Hope this is in the correct category, please move if appropriate.
As newbies to the California we've been sussing out the on board storage solutions. I thought it might be useful if people could give details of any things that fit well or are useful for storage. As well as the usual plastic storage boxes (The big ones from Wilkinsons fit well under the back part of the bed) we found the following fit well.
The Rationelle bin from Ikea (sold in 3's) fits well in the space behind the passenger seat
and will also fit in the passenger footwell. It can then be lifted out when you arrive. We are going to slip a bit of foam pipe lagging on one side on the top so that it wedges against the door when shut (if you see what i mean)
The best thing we've found though is the Ikea Boholmen washing up bowl that is flexible and fits neatly on the shelves under the sink. If it was a tad deeper (Front to back) it would be a perfect fit. But as it is one contains two cooking pans, a colander and various other cooking utensils. Being flexible it helps stop rattles. It can also double up as a camp site washing up bowl (being much bigger than the VW bowl).
Bargain of the year is Tescos small camping kettle, big enough for two people and only £2.50 and a great pourer (no drips etc).
Anyone else got other solutions?
