Article from RV Daily, episode 8.

Packing up the van isn’t as simple as chucking everything in – there should be a method behind the madness, or else your van could become unstable as a result of uneven weight distribution. This can make the van unsafe to drive, particularly when turning corners. In this episode, we provide some useful tips on how to pack certain items, from the heavy stuff like generators and barbecues, to fragile items like cutlery. We also discuss the importance of making sure that everything is secure, this includes cupboards, doors and window latches, as well as all your gear.
