TOP AMAZING TIP which blew my thoughts!

So, we have been camped out by the seashore and we bought chatting to the stunning couple within the motorhome subsequent to us. They have been having fun with their retirement and had been motorhoming for a few years. That they had a improbable van which they spent most of their time in, however after they invited us inside we discover that they didn’t have a lot storage.

“Ah” stated Mrs Superior (we by no means did get round to exchanging names!) “Now we have numerous storage proper right here” and patted her cushions.

We regarded confused for a second, till she unzipped the cushion case and confirmed us their garments. Contained in the cushions. Critically. That they had one for underwear, one for scarves, hats, gloves and so forth; one for t-shirts and tops; one for blankets. Principally ANYTHING mushy goes right into a cushion.

This BLEW our tiny minds. What a improbable idea- particularly for 3 of us after we want extra space for storing. We’ve instantly acted on it, and now have a number of cushions filled with our blankets and different hardly ever used gadgets (bear in mind all that sports activities gear? I knew it might are available in helpful….!) So long as you pack the cushion pretty full, you can not inform the distinction in any respect. A lot love for this tip- if it was you on the seashore and also you bear in mind us, please go away us a remark beneath or get in contact. Was pretty chatting with you.

Anyway, that’s greater than sufficient for immediately! Let’s get packing!!
