Best clothing storage???

We have 2 large _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx in the canopy (his and hers). Got sick of bags.

Hi Bundy

We use plastic boxes with sealable lids, picked them up from bunnings reasonably cheaply. We have one each and they store under the bed in the c/t, dust proof and readily accessable. There are plenty of different sizes available.

Two of us - one main bag and two compression bags (swap between summer/winter gear).

We are in a similar situation. Cruiser, camper and 2 kids (teenagers). On the last holiday we trialled a new system - one of those cheap, medium sized, suitcases you can get at places like the Warehouse or Crazy Clarks for each of us. They fit neatly on the shelf I have in the back of the Cruiser. Worked a treat.

I use an ARB Spacecase that is 1100mm x 550mm x 310mm and it goes on the roof rack. Heaps of space for 2 adults and 2 kids under 4 year old.
If I'm lazy it can go in the trailer.

The first thing bundy is to reduce the clothes you carry. On our first big trip, the wife insisted on taking about 5 pairs of shoes and 2 weeks worth of clothes. Nuts.

Now even when traveling for 3 or 4 months, we limit ourselves to a pair of thongs / sandals and a pair of runners/walking shoes each. We carry one set of 'good' clothes each (jeans and shirt that we wear with the runners) which are packed in plastic bags to keep separate. Other than that, we live in shorts and T shirts (about 4 shorts and 6 shirts each, plus underwear). Add a track suit or sweat shirt if likely to encounter some cold weather and thats about it. Hand wash as required.

We now carry all in _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx in the CT. Before that we tried duffel bags, plastic bags and plastic boxes. Duffel bags are easier to pack, plastic bags the same, but not as strong. Both are a pain when you are looking for a specific item. Plastic boxes take a bit more space, but are easy to use.

If you use one big box between 2, beware, the wife will use most of the space. If you can fit 2 smaller boxes - one each and both pack only what will fit in your box, you are on your way. But good luck to limiting the wife to one small box!!

Don't take them, the clothes not the kids I mean.
I have found that we always take too much.
All you need is the set you are wearing, 2--3 days for the fellows and a day less for the girls and another set to put on when the are dirty.
You can usually wash at least once a week.
In the past with a camper trailer we used plastic boxes with lids but as an extra dust measure put a bin liner in first and then fold it all in.

We use the nally bins black tubs with lids

The one we use is the IHO51 Crate
They last for ever and the lids clip on one end and on the other end there is a hole and just put a twist of electrical wire through the hole and all's good.
They sit on the truck and are just about dust proof (a small amount sometimes enters.) But rarely.
Each family member gets one if it don't fit in the binn it dont go.

All the best
