My main is in the cupboard which used to the be the airing cupboard, the other two are in a wooden box in the shed. The main part of the kit is in the house under beds, behind wardrobes, in wardrobes and cupboard under the stairs. :-)

Ours is kept in the understated cupboard.

Any where that damp,animal or insect free so no damage is to occur.

I used to have no option but to store in my shed..provided the tent was dry before being packed into bag..I would then place bagged tent inside a black plastic dustbin with lid on.It worked for me and the mice never damaged it..they were present in the shed and left plenty of evidence.

we have a folding camper and this year we plan to take the canvas off over the winter as the cover is not as good as it used to be. my little girl had a beg where the bottom is totally enclosed so i plan to hinge the wooden panel under the mattress and store the canvas andf anything else i can fit under there.
