Baggage and Organization

Space in a camper is limited, but it's more than you'd expect — if you know how to use it. Here you'll find what exactly to bring, how much is enough, and where everything goes.

What's in the Camper (when renting from XCampers)

Before you start packing, know what you don't need to bring. When renting from us, the camper already has:

• Bed linen, blankets, and pillows for all sleeping spots
• Bath towels (one per person)
• Full set of dishes — plates, cups, cutlery, pots, pan, cutting board, knives
• Gas stove for cooking
• Levelling blocks
• Water hose and power extension cable
• Kitchen sponges, dish soap, and drying rack
• Foldable basin for carrying dishes

Don't bring any of the above — it'll just take up space. See the full list of standard equipment.

What Baggage Should We Travel With in the Camper?

Suitcase or Bag?

Soft bags and duffels — not suitcases. Hard suitcases don't fit in the cabinets and have nowhere to stand. Soft bags fold up and tuck away once you unpack them.

Packing cubes are very handy — they let you separate your things and organize them in the narrow cabinets. Without them, clothes tend to fall out when you open the doors.

What Should I Take?

Clothes for the season, personal documents, medications, toiletries, and comfortable shoes. Bring something warmer for the evenings, even in summer — temperatures drop, especially in the mountains and near water. Flip-flops for inside the camper too — keeps it cleaner for longer.

Don't overpack. For a week trip for two, one medium bag per person is plenty.

Toiletries and Supplies

Use small travel sizes — space in the bathroom is limited. The camper comes with 2 rolls of toilet paper — bring extra for longer trips. Kitchen paper too — you'll use it constantly.

Food and Drinks

Buy basic groceries before you leave — saves stops on the first day. The water from the tank isn't for drinking, so bring bottled water or buy it along the way. Don't try to pack food for the entire week — the fridge is limited, and there are shops along the way.

Useful Things You Might Not Think Of

• Bin bags — there's no bin in the camper, you hang a bag
• Flashlight or headlamp — for nighttime walks to the campsite toilet
• Playing cards or a board game — for rainy evenings. The campers come with some provided.
• Clothes pegs — for drying towels and clothes

How to Organize Our Baggage in the Camper

Wardrobe

Every camper has at least one wardrobe — usually near the bedroom. Good for clothes on hangers and shoes at the bottom.

Overhead Cabinets

The cabinets above the beds and seating area hold a lot — toiletries, medications, small items, chargers, books. Fill them evenly — don't overdo it with heavy items. Cans and jars are better off in the luggage compartment in a small box.

Behind the Seating Area

Once you've settled at the campsite and turned the front seats inward, there's space behind them for bulkier items — bags, food, shoes.

Door Spaces

In campervans, the rear door, sliding side door, and cab doors have large pockets and net holders — handy for maps, bottles, keys, phones.

Luggage Compartment (Garage)

Larger campers have a big luggage compartment. Ideal for heavier and bulkier items. Organize in boxes to make use of vertical space.

Front Passenger Seat

While driving: bag with documents, wallet, phone, water, road snacks.

Organization Tips

• Unpack your bag once you arrive — distribute items to cabinets and fold the bag away. Living out of a bag is uncomfortable and wastes space
• Heavy items low, light items high. Keeps the camper more stable on the road and nothing falls on your head
• Wet clothes — dry them outside on the line or drying rack, not in a cabinet. Moisture in a closed camper isn't great
• Food — in the garage or in the cabinet near the kitchen, easier to find later

Drinking Water

The water in the tank is suitable for washing, cooking, and bathing, but it's not recommended for drinking. Bring bottled water or buy it along the way.
