With our huge family, Davids main concern (after thinking about water storage solutions) is the situation in the bus where everything is going to go! We have a lot of things to take on the road so Motorhome Storage Solutions is a big topic amongst our family!
The boys (of course) can only think about where there toys and books will be. While I keep thinking about clothes, and David thinks about the Kitchen appliances and his tools!
Motorhome Storage Solutions
If you read my previous Motorhome Storage post you would know that at the front of the bus is an overhead cupboard that was not used to store anything other than wires and speakers. David has used a Spilling Batten technique to create more Motorhome Storage Solutions for us to be able to carry more books, DVD and CDs.
Here is Part 3 of the Motorhome Storage Solutions with a Batten Technique
To understand the Spilling Batten technique (which all Boat Builders use) you will need to watch Part 1 and Part 2 of the vlog series. It will make more sense of how David was able to purchase a bit of wood (no not one of us!) and cut the shape so that once the end product was ready it fit easily. Without using the Spilling Technique David would have been there for hours trying to work out how to get the shape right and it still would not have fit. After Part 3 of the vlog series there was the final stages!
Here is Part 4 of the Motorhome Storage Solutions with a Batten Technique
Once he trimmed a section here and there the new cupboard front was fixed in and ready so that I could clean it all out 🙂 Luckily I have a steam cleaner and the insides came up well. Not sure what we will be doing – if we are going to carpet the inside of the new cupboards or if David will be making fake cupboards to slide in, or just covering up the holes with adding material. I am sure he has another Motorhome Storage Solution up his sleeve!
More To Be Revealed Soon!
Sometime soon there will be an update vlog of the flooring, the mattress that arrived in the box, and also a secret vlog that I have not even told David that we are making!! Looking forward to sharing more soon. I so wonder what date/when we will move?
Guessing Game?
Here is one for all of our loyal followers……can you guess what time/day/date we will be moving into our Bedford Comair Motorhome?
Leave your comments below and let see who is close to the mark!

New Life on the Road
When thinking of “storage”, the first thing that comes to mind are personal things. However, when travelling Australia water storage is so important, and also very heavy. So many thinks to think of and prepare for before setting out.
Hi Carolyn,
The storage is important when travelling! That is why we have downsized in a very big way – we sure could do with more water tanks!
