There aren’t many things more frustrating than running out of storage space. Whether you’re a business owner trying to store inventory or a family trying to stash away extra holiday decorations, it can be tough to find somewhere to put everything. It’s the same case when you’re going on a tour, for example, and need more storage in your wagon.
If you’re struggling with limited storage space in your wagon, don’t worry; we’ve got you covered! In this blog post, we’ll give you eight tips for maximising your wagon’s storage capacity, from organising your items to investing in wagon fitments like a roof rack.
- Organise your items.
It’s easy for items to get lost, forgotten and buried when you’re travelling with a wagon. To prevent this from happening, dedicate some time to organising your belongings before leaving. Group items that are going to be used at the same time, such as cooking utensils or camping gear and store them in separate bags so you can easily access them.
- Use vacuum bags.
Vacuum bags are a great way to pack a lot of items into a small space. These work by sucking the air out of the bag, so you can fit more inside while taking up less room. This is especially useful for storing clothing and bedding in your wagon.
- Place heavy items low.Â
When packing your wagon, make sure to place heavy items as close to the ground as possible. This will help keep the centre of gravity low and ensure that the vehicle is stable when you’re driving.
- Utilise wall space.
If you have a campervan or motorhome with walls, make use of them! Wall space can be used to store items like cleaning supplies or cooking utensils, freeing up even more floor space.
- Pack vertically.
When packing items in your wagon, think about how you can stack them in a way that will save space. This might mean standing bottles of water on their side or stacking boxes on top of each other.
- Pack tight.
It can be tempting to leave a bit of extra room so it’s easier to access items, but this will reduce the amount of space you have available in your wagon. Be sure to pack everything as tightly as possible and fill any gaps with smaller items or folded blankets.
- Utilise all available spaces.
Take a look around your wagon and look for any unused spaces that you could use to store items—under seats, in the glove compartment or even on the roof. This is a great way to make sure that you’re taking advantage of all the available space.
- Invest in a roof rack.
If you have lots of bulky items that won’t fit inside your wagon, investing in wagon fitments, such as a roof rack is a great way to maximise the storage space. This will give you extra room for bigger items, such as camping equipment or even a spare tyre.
Final reminders:
Remember, when it comes to maximising your wagon’s storage capacity, the key is to be creative and think outside the box. With a little bit of planning and some ingenuity, you’ll have plenty of space for all your items!
