Good info. We have been canning for about 10 years now, learned a few things along the way. We use washing baskets to carry out the food and clothes that go in draws to the van, easy to handle, carry heaps and fast to unload. We use little baskets under the hanging clothes in the ensuite to put socks and undies in.

Yep Clip the fridge door! I think it was our second trip going to the Gympie Muster and I didn't do it. Left Sunny Coast and got to Amamour to stop for the toilet.

Egg story reminded me of a camper van trip in Ireland with best friend. We bought the largest hen eggs I’ve ever seen straight from a farm. I was so excited to eat these huge eggs 🥰 My friend told me she could drive a manual. She was first driver , around narrow winding lanes kangaroo hopping all the way. Well the fridge came unclipped & I nearly died when I opened the side door. Every single egg smashed & had even slid into crevices we couldn’t get to. Worse, it had mixed with cream. I slid everywhere trying to clean it up . The van smelt after a few days. I was devastated because I wanted to eat ‘ the worlds largest hen eggs, 😭

We have about $10k worth of small plastic baskets inside each of upper cupboards and the fridge. We are bloody paranoid about things falling over when travelling 😂 Your comment about less is better is an absolute truism. It is glamping after all. Next to Velcro and cable ties, the inventors of Fusion Loc deserve a Nobel prize. They are fantastic bits of kit.

Also do you have a need to use the felt protector things between your pots/pans? How many of your food items fall out of your overhead cupboards after a big drive?
