Where Do You Put Your Stuff in a Class B ??

Spent 2 months - 2 years in a row in a roadtrek through mexico. No trailer. The chairs we just set in the back under the table. Don't really need to carry a lot as always a store close by. I had a gmc after the roadtrek than a 32' daymond n now back to my favorite my roadtrek as goes anywhere, good gas mileage, parks any where,etc etc good luck ann

We had a 21-foot B+ at one time. We needed to store a couple of cooking supply boxes in the the dining area when moving. Ultimately my wife tired of the squeeze and insisted on our presnet 25 foot Class C. While making up your mind, take a look at some Class C models. I think the PW is approx 23 feet with limited storage and a 24-25 foot C is a step up in storage with little change in driving.

Alternatively, I discovered too late that Swivel-Wheel makes a trailer attachment that follows the RV as you turn and reverse so there is never a jsckknife possibility. This would avoid dealing with trailer towing problems.

You usually don't get it all, at least in this world, so you must decide on your priorities and go from there. With our LTV Free Spirit we valued driveablity and manuverability over large storage spaces. We like staying in scenic campgrounds over commercial RV parks that resemble parking lots, and so for us, less is more in terms of size. Our chairs are stored behind the driver's seat, standing upright and anchored to the wall with elastic cord. We leave our bed half made and just sit on the 2 side seats in back when we want an indoor table. We know another couple who leave their bed in back totally made and only sit up front (which wouldn't work for us - the front table is too small). Our BBQ is a mini which is fine for 2 people. My one wish is for a larger fridge. Our fridge is 4.3 cf, but you can get a larger fridge in the TS (not the FL). We've had our rig for 3 years and have few regrets about its limited size.

We like the maneuverability and convenience of our ERA 70x, but there are trade offs. We have the extra large plastic vacuum bags to hold our foam topper and pillows and that seems to help when the seal holds. Of course, these cheap bags don't last long, so right now, all the bedding is piled up on the back couch. Although we have toyed with the idea of a small trailer, I agree with the earlier commenter that a trailer sort of kills the idea of having a small, parkable, RV. If you really need space and you plan to use your RV for more than a long weekend at a time, go with a class b+ or small class c.

step up to a small C like LTV ,freedom serenity, you,ll not regret it.

We had a class B until recently. Not positive since we didn't have one, but I believe there are Thule bike carriers that can work with a rear tire. We met people who towed a small trailer for kayaks, but my perception is that towing would hamper the great advantage of a B's car-like qualities.

The amount of storage varies by model, of course - our Sprinter had fixed twin beds with a lot of long horizontal storage beneath and we didn't always need it all. Like most B owners, we got very good at winnowing down to only useful stuff and removing the rest. You prioritize daily items into the easiest-access storage - seems obvious, but takes a trip or two to get it right.

We also stored bedding at one end of the beds (rolled sleeping bags with homemade sheet liners, folded and stowed with the pillows in an overhead cabinet.

Part of the fun us finding small-space solutions. After wearing out several cheapies, we eventually bought Pico telescoping camping chairs - more pricey but solid and long-wearing. They fit in a small case.

You'll probably need do laundry and buy fresh groceries a little more often, but that was never a problem for us.

When I had my C, I made sure that everything was stowed in a cabinet either inside or out. Everything was in it's place and out of sight. When I got my B I tried to continue that way, but it's not possible. You need to get used to the fact some stuff just can't be put out of sight and that there might be somethings you have to move to get at something else and when you tire of doing that, you might find you really didn't need to bring it in the first place.

When I want to bring the maximum amount of stuff, I have a large plastic tote on wheels that rides in back. It is mostly out of the way and I can take it outside and chain it to a tree when camping.

When we had our PW Excel, we found that having a small trailer towed behind solved all our storage problems, it was a Pulmor trailer and was easily pushed around by hand. Also we used those plastic bags that you squeeze the air out and compress whatever is inside such as bedding; you'd be surprised how small you can make such stuff. And as NoVaRT hinted at above, you will need to make some changes in all the stuff you're used to taking along on your trips. Is it really needed or just nice to have "just in case".

You have to make some compromises, and fully utilize the "nooks & crannies" storage space. My Roadtrek has fairly large storage cabinets on either side of the air conditioner, and they happen to be a perfect fit for the medium size Ebag packing cubes. They're marketed as suitcase organizers, but they work great in the cabinets. I make do with a couple of chairs-in-a-bag for outside seating, and I'm able to fit a pop-up canopy and portable hammock in front of the electric sofa - they're covered when the sofa is in sleeping position, and are usually outside when we reach our destination. We have the RV Superbag for sleeping, and just fold it up and push it into a corner of the sofa - wouldn't try to fit it into a cabinet.

I'm pretty close to my limit, but others add storage boxes and bike racks to their receiver, or even tow a small trailer. Some of the Class B blogs have storage tips that might be helpful, too.
