Smiling at this thread, could be us. Now has a T6 Kombi which has a lot of space but we can still fill it when needed. Went camping last weekend, back was pretty full! I'm a big fan of holdalls for holidays, they load well and can be crammed in better

I'm the only one allowed to pack the van/car, they know I'm OCD about it. I think that's why they like to give me all the random stuff at the end, like a bag of toiletries or a carrier bag of shoes

I'm also a little (maybe a lot) OCD about packing stuff at the supermarket. Heavy stuff first so it doesn't crush the light stuff!

one per person. All the clothes and similar kit now go on the roof

I read this too quickly, missed the "per", and thought, "bit harsh sticking someone on the roof"!

Credit where it’s due, that’s some impressive stuffing. I think at that point I’d have been investing in a bike carrier.

We have, eventually, along with a roofbox. Kids bikes now go on the rack, ours still go inside. It's embarrassing when a dual-cab van's not big enough. Constantly evolving my packing strategy. I'd rather have all bikes hidden inside - easier stop offs enroute etc. W<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">e could fit everything inside without using space-inefficient plastic boxes, but I like order!</span>

Evolution

@a11y back wheel of bike on the left looks to be too far out, you sure the door will close properly?

It's effing tight but it goes, 1341mm wheelbase and 29x2.6/2.5 tyres makes for a long bike.

Have a sensible packer virtual high five from me!
