How to Prepare a Pantry in a Caravan?


There is no doubt that food is among the pleasures of life, which you do not need to neglect even if you wander far away. Most campers have very limited pantry space, but don't be discouraged. With the necessary precautions , you can prepare the pantry for long journeys without giving up diversity .


HOW TO SELECT THE LOCATION OF THE PANEL


The space reserved for the kitchens is not only the heaviest place in life in the trailer, but also the beating heart of it. The sink, oven and hob, refrigerator, pantry and associated wall units greatly affect the stability of the vehicle, so it is important to distribute the weight to maintain good balance.


The problem of the distribution of weights and volumes is at the heart of the campervan prep phase, where more and more designers, architects and engineers are working together to balance ergonomics, comfort and stability. In order to have adequate equipment, it is necessary to bring mats, sun loungers and armchairs, bicycles, children's games and items necessary for four-legged friends to the campsite, as well as the kitchen and pantry.




The first rule to follow is to place the heaviest items on the bottom, such as oil bottles, detergent packs, and various preserves. By doing this, it keeps the center of gravity low, with the advantage of eliminating the danger of falling from height during movement and saving fuel consumption.


WHICH FOODS TO CHOOSE

Therefore, oil seeds (walnuts, pine nuts, etc.), fish rich in good fatty acids (salmon, mackerel, etc.), even smoked ones; If you can't resist or are traveling in low temperatures that can easily cause dermatitis, be sure to add an acne cream and a cortisone to your first aid kit.
