What is the worst thing to pack when travelling?

I put our cadac, in a bag on a piece of hardboard to spread the load, everything goes inside the lid except the legs. And it gets strapped onto one of the rear seats. If we take a cool box that goes on the other rear seat, and plugs into one of the sockets. The awning gets strapped between then. Awning pegs and Hammers all under passengers seat. Tool box under drivers seat. Kojack in the other rear footwell. Sandwich box in front foot well. Grip mats for muddy pitches under rear reats .
All goes in nicley. And when I forget the Cadac legs, it sits nicley on a small table that I have.
Only one dog now so he has plenty of room in the back of the SantaFe.
i am in agreement with you to pack and unpack 😉
Which Cadac do you have Hutch. We have the largest one and i think it would be easier to pack one of the dishes from Jodrell Bank.
Awning and poles go across rear seat. Chairs table and sundry items in boot where i have to find room for said Cadac. Tv, barrels and wastemaster in caravan. Heavy small items in rear footwell. Somehow, we have to find room for a small child and large childseat.
Im thinking towards a large roofbox to help.

Thingy large roofbox good idea
.....2 bikes if we take them.
Have to fit bespoke bike rack to back of towcar.
Load bikes on to it less front wheels.
Lock bikes to bike rack with anti theft devices.
Load helmets...wifes wire basket....front wheels in bags ........ back pack specifically for cycling....all in rear boot space
You may well ask .....😀

Unfortunately,now we no longer have the dog,the back seats go down,awning,groundsheet,bags of clothes(mainly hers🤭),enough food for a day or two goes up tight to the drivers/passenger seats(just about between front and rear axles).
Toiletries,pots,pans,small cadac,water/waste carriers,quilts,pillows etc in the van.
Pegs,hammer,various pipes etc in front,side locker.Gas,one 3.9+one 6kg in locker over axle.

Not a good idea if you have physical limitations. We have one which we now need to sell as getting difficult to access.
Hi Ade Sounds like a lot 🙂
At present my left shoulder is out of action plus my back is not great but i am hoping physio at the hospital will help me with the exercises i have been given to do 🙂
Gafferbill..............you win 🤣
BB, its easy enough to climb onto the running board, then the wheel, then the doorhandle and grab hold of the roofbars. Getting back is easy, its called gravity 😉
Ebikes though. I thought the whole idea was to peddle to keep fit, for everyone else, they invented the car.

Another repair?
Do you break something every time you use the caravan? 😂
In our early days it would be the darned Prestige Hidome pressure cooker. Heavens sake who cooks oxtail stew in France? (Ragout de queue de boeuf -) apart from the French. Then there would be the numerous tins of Cassoulet some of which made numerous return trips from and back to France then back to home again. Took up valuable beer, wine and sausage payload.

We carry a 3 litre, electric pressure cooker, 18 hour timer, fantastic bit of kit 1.5 kg lives in the bottom of the wardrobe for travelling,
Thinghy we have the original Big Cadac, starting to burn through now , some welding required.
Have a Skoda hatchback. Which has to hold Scooter, sticks, water /waste, chairs awning, and worst of all my fishing gear . Hope I never have a punture
Not quite this was mention when it had a service (Awning rails need to be resealed) and they have not been off since new and we were given a date end of October and then the breathable cover will go on 🙂
That will be fun good luck unpacking all of that 🙂
Hi Parksy i was told the new pump for the toilet flush could happen to anyone that what my caravan repairer said 🙂
