As you know, not this guy. Electric stuff under the bed, only one bench has a drawer, and the sofa hides the freshwater tank. And the outside storage isn't great shakes either.

I have so much stuff I want to store that has nothing to do with my personal clothes/toiletries. Camp chairs, firestarter, solar lamps, dog food, leashes, shoes, dog bowls, first aid, leveling blocks. screen tent thing, my bike, collapsible ladder, toolbox, computer and monitor and wifi stuff, broom, stick vac, portable washer thing, towels, etc.

If you have any ideas please let me know! I'd rather not devote the whole above the cab part to storage (and if I do I need to buy a net for it...)

So you're saying that every square inch under the bed is electrical stuff?
What is a portable washer thing? Why a computer and monitor instead of a laptop computer? A small handheld vacuum works great in a small motor home. Why a collapsible ladder if the RV has a ladder on the back? Would a small folding step stool serve the purpose?

In our prior Class C we carried more than one could imagine but it did result in us thinking outside the box in how to pack (things fit inside other things) and what to take.

When we moved from the Class A to the Super C we lost about 50 cubic inches of storage space and my wife started complaining about not being able to take everything she wanted. As we were loading the new coach and taking things from bins into the coach it amazed me how much stuff she decided wasn't needed. She decided, all on her own, that we didn't need salad bowls, soup bowls and cereal bowls. She eliminated three large husky tubs of stuff from our storage requirements.

Be creative. You might not have room for everything you want to take but you do have room for what you need to take.
