I am in the playground full time and have a full size CV. It has a wardrobe, drawers and overhead cupboards suitable for cloths in the bedroom area (front). I keep 3 of everything only and as I tend to follow the warmth as much as possible live in shorts, T shirts and good quality thongs (for the feet) before bigB makes a smart comment   I also have  a pair of jeans and tracky dacks, also a thicker top if ever needed.  All works extremely well for me but I am Solo so no need to share space. That said, there is heaps of room for two people in my van.

I am sure whatever van you get will have storage for clothes. A minor problem I think.

Enjoy your retirement as I know you will but most importantly, keep safe.  

Mmmm, there is a solution.

Join a nudist club. Plenty of beaches etc.

No, I'm not a nudist, bigB. I would clear the beach for sure.

we've been in our van permanently for 4 yrs and only have shelves in the wardrobe. Ditched the iron after a year and generally have non-crushable shirts. We roll our clothes and the few wrinkles soon drop out. I have one good outfit (blouse, slacks and cardigan) that hangs on a hanger in a dust proof bag usually in the shower or on the TV bracket

Doug - you wouldn't clear the beach - they'd all be falling over laughing LOL !!!!

I agree with Doug though about the amount of clothes to carry. When you do your 1st long trip (several + months) you will take miles too much (unless youre planning from driving to Tassie from Cape York in June)

My wife always has more clothes than me - but that's expected )

I have 3 T shirts, 3 synthetic cloth shorts (wash them and theyre dry within a couple of hours), 2 jeans, 2 trackies, 3 heavy sweat shirts, 2 heavy water proof jackets that stay in the ute, 4 pairs of runners and 2 pairs of thongs (the feet ones). Bout 5 pairs of undies and a mixture of socks (the last two don't take up much room).

Many nomaders on a long trip will go into Vinnies or the Salvos when they move from a hot climate to a cool one or the other way round. Give them what you don't want and buy what you do need cheaply (check out the various charity shops in the town to find what you want before dishing out your own gear to them). Often the clothing is brand new and dead cheap. If using these places is down market for you, do what I do and wear a large paper bag over my head with eye gaps cut out so I don't fall over the kerb or walk into the shop window haha. Small towns have heaps of charity shops. I bought a new and thick hoodie for 50c !!

As we are on the road permanently, we keep two wardrobes, one winter one summer.  The opposite wardrobe lives in vacuum storage bags under the bed. If we buy new clothes, vinnies or similar gets a donation.  Ditto for shoes. 

We  do believe however, that you get what you pay for.  To buy hiking shoes from, for example, Rivers, is not the same as buying good quality hiking books from a recognised hiking/camping shop.
