I disagree with Bumpy and prefer the smaller setups.
We downsized from a 30BHDS and Crew F-250 to the setup in my signature and in the pics below. It is a smaller trailer with a very similar floorplan, and we manage wonderfully with two kids (8 and 5) for trips up to a week. I love it over the large camper and it gives us much more flexibility in where we can camp. We are finishing up Year 2 with this setup.
INSIDE
- Adults clothes are all overhead, the kids get each of the closets next to our bed.
- Pantry next to the bathroom fits all the dry food, fruit and veggies on the table.
- Kitchen cabinets keep enough plates and kitchen style stuff.
- Cabinets in the table benches hold towels, extra drinks, extra large dry food things, blankets and such.
- Under the bed is bonus storage
- Laundry basket in the shower that gets moved the off chance we need to wash one of the kids. Usually they just get hosed down outside.
- Kids get their bunks for anything they want special and there is even storage under the bottom bunk for games, chairs and other things.
- Bi-Fold table next to the bed that comes out when we get there. This is the only inside stored thing that comes out when we get to the campsite. Zero-gravity chairs if we decide to bring them as well here.
- Shoes next to the bed by the door. Except mine, I pretty much only wear flip flops that stay outside.
OUTSIDE
- Tie downs, hoses, cords, tiki torches, and all of those type of things on the drivers side of the front pass through.
- Multiple rugs, large flag, camp chairs, hammock and outside toys in the passenger side of the front pass through.
- Outdoor kitchen has outside food-esque items like table cloths, hand wipes, cleaner, oven gloves, and then things like citronella candles, bug spray and coozies.
BABY TRUCK
- Wood, when allowed by law. Actually, all the time.
- One large bin I throw in the back of my truck that has all misc. outside items like camp stove, two scooters and some squirt guns. If we are loading up all the wood, then I use my truck bed mounted basket for stuff.
- Beat up 10x10 I use to go over the grill and the flat top grill in the bed.
