we're due to head to france on the ferry with the campervan in a couple of weeks and so far the home conversion is quite basic. it's been fine for weekends away but i was wondering if people had some tips about the best way to store plates, cups, cutlery etc. any storage ideas at all would be welcome because we're heading off for 3 weeks so it'll be the most we've had to pack to date.

we use a blow up mattress also. do people have any suggestions as to alternatives.

finally, any tips about where's cool to pitch the van in france? we're arriving in cherbourg.

really finally, how long would it take to get a window in to the side panel of the van and how much?
