I looked all over the web getting tips on what to pack in a motorhome. We usually pack everything including the kitchen sink. If you check out "SliceOfAmericaTrip.blogspot.com" , our blog from 2 years ago you can see pictures of how we packed. We had 2 vans that time. This time we will have the van and Lucy, which will be bringing the kitchen sink!
But.....weight and space is of the essence in a motorhome. Lucy's gas mileage is really low and we want to make sure it doesn't go much lower. On the drivers side, Lucy has 2 cargo holds, differing sizes and then there is the water door for filling the fresh water tank and the electrical hold for the "shore" electric power cord plus the surge protector and the hot water heater has it's little spot too.
1. The large cargo hold that will hold the camping stuff: The large tent, the kids tent, stakes and poles, rain tarps, tarp for working under the vehicles, work gloves and Lucy's plastic levelers.
2. The small cargo hold, rather small, that will hold:
tools, extension cords and sewer pipe connector.
Pliers
Open/closed wrenches
Flat head screwdrivers
Phillips screwdrivers
Long nose pliers
Vise grips, lg and sm
Wrench
Tie cables
bungie cords
electrical tape
Duct Tape
Oil for the Generator
Flares
Rags
2 heavy duty extension cords
2 plug strips
Disposable gloves
Sewer hose connector
Fuses
Wire
On the passenger side:
3. The very large cargo hold which has plastic tubs that hold:
carb and choke cleaner
Various spare belts and hoses
Fuel filter
Ignition module
Motorhome jack
Stabilizer jacks
Jumper cables
Jack handle
Eternabond tape
Gorilla tape
Insulation tape
Jump start system
2 fresh water hoses
Water filter
Water regulator
Clothes line rope and pins
Camp chairs
Small collapsible table
Stool for van carrier rack
Rug
Collapsible trash can
4. Small cargo hold: not sure what will be in here, but seriously thinking of storing the electric skillet which we will be using on the small table just outside Lucy using her outside electric plug. Since we will be hitting heat we plan to do most serious cooking by campfire or electric skillet to keep from heating the inside of Lucy.
Also on the passenger side we have Lucy's generator, the refrigerator vent and the propane hold.
Items in bold have not been packed yet.
