Utilising Curved Shelves as Storage Space

I have just taken delivery of a new Elddis caravan which features two curved shelves under the counter as you come in the door. Clearly at present you can't put anything on these when travelling as items would slip off. I have used cut down expandable curtain rods, fixed vertically on each shelf to stop items sliding off, As these are tensioned they are easily removable and totally flexiblle. They now hold large biscuit boxes in place.

Drop-in fiddle bars that fit slots at the sides of the lockers can provide a sturdier solution to curtain wire.

we've never travelled with stuff in the top shelves and lockers, especially not heavier items, we put it all in boxes on the floor - or even better in the car - to keep weight down and lower the centre of gravity. Her-indoors puts it all in the lockers whilst I'm setting up outside. At the end of the trip everything comes out of the van for a good clean, so we never end up with old stuff that's past it date or gone moldy!

I noticed that recently airliners have been fitted with elasticated straps across the overhead lockers, so the bumpyness of the air lanes is being recognised as well
