Put daily-use items closest to hand
Water, basic cooking equipment, lighting and everyday personal items should be reachable without dismantling the camp or unloading the vehicle.
Campers & Touring · Storage answer
Organising Overland Gear by Access Priority
Vehicle storage works best when it follows when an item is needed, not simply where an empty space exists.
Planning guidance — final supplied configuration remains project-specific.
Separate road-critical from camp-only gear
Recovery, safety and roadside equipment should not be buried behind items only used after camp is established.
Keep heavy loads and service points sensible
Dense equipment should be placed with vehicle balance in mind, while hinges, racks, electrical connections and water fittings remain inspectable.
