Hi Taffy, we used to store our steamer, electric kettle, plates, bowls, pots and pans under the sink, we also decanted "fairy" liquid, washing tablets into smaller containers, and whilst travelling these went into a washing up bowl in the sink.
The 3 head high cupboards above the sink and cooker, we stored paper towel (we used this almost exclusivley when away) wine glasses (although we are both t total we used them for sooft drinks), we also stowed biscuits, coffee, tea, cake etc.
I had 2 head high cupboards for my socks, boxers, shorts, trousers, etc.
Jen had 4 head high cupboards for her equivalent!!!
The wardrobe we used for jackets, shirts, blouses, skirts etc. Shirts I used to hang about 6 on one hanger😎
We used "trolley bags" available from large supermarkets in different colours, these are thick plastic bags and great for underseat storage. 3 under my bed, 2 under Jens (because of the battery and electrics)
The front floor area under the front table we stored our heavier items, electric cable, wheel clamp, fresh vegetables etc.
The underseat locker just inside the door on the right, we used for shoes, boots, crocs etc.
We used 4 x 3 litre water bottles for our drinking water, which we would usually carry at one full for the journey.
Other items went in the car.
I have been fairly comprehensive here but accept that I may have missed some essential bits!!
Another idea we "ponced" was to use washing up bowls to store tinned foods in. We bought 3 of the same pattern, colour etc, and when you sort youur tins into sizes they cann be stacked sinngle height into a washing up bowl, then it's simply fill another bowl and do the same and stack on the first, and then the second etc.
Hth, we all have different methods, tips etc to pass on
Likes to wax and have a smooth finish! Has an empty space where once a very polished Eriba stood😎

Quote: hob wrote in post #10Yes, ours has that too, and that's what we use it for. The collapsible kettle goes in the rack too. We also have an old Ekco Nova melamine tea set which lives in the right-hand front eye-level locker along with a nesting saucepan/fryingpan/casserole set. My uke goes in the one on the left.Quote: Taffy wrote in post #8
How do others store their plates - any racks etc or in a box.
My triton came with a handy wire rack under the sink where I keep that sort of stuff with a chopping board and a tray.
The two cubbyholes by the front table house the walk books, the maps, paperbacks, travel scrabble, radio and various chargers and cables. Weasel the whippet's stuff - biscuits, bowls etc. - lives in one of the lockers above the sink, and our stuff - biscuits, cake, coffee and Aeropress - lives in the other. We tend not to keep much in the way of food in the caravan, buying stuff like fish and fresh fruit and veg day by day as we need it.
The toaster and the carbon monoxide alarm are stored in the well at the back of the wardrobe but on site, when the lid is up, the toaster lives on top of the wardrobe until breakfast time, while the CO alarm sits on the shelf by the front windows.
Things like pants and socks etc. are rolled up and go in one of those storage things that hangs from a clothes hanger and has about 20 pockets on each side, taking up about a tenth of the wardrobe's rail length. The rest of our clothes go on hangers, except for jumpers, which are folded and go in the overhead lockers beside the wardrobe. If we don't leave the beds made up, the Duvalays go in the door-side underbed locker and the pillows go in the two eye-level lockers at the back.
The vast majority of this stuff doesn't stay in the Eriba between trips, and travels to and from sites in stackable plastic crates in the back of the car. All that remains while in storage is the toaster and the alarm, the crockery and cutlery and the cooking utensils, because these are specific to the caravan.
