Welcome to motorhoming. Lots of things have been highlighted that you might need although before spending lots of money I think I would get a few trips under your belt as these will highlight where the needs are. With regard to storage it might be worth having a look at the Really Useful Boxes website. We use these in our van and have found them well made and there is a massive selection of sizes. Our motorhome didn't have shelves in lots of the overhead cupboards so we find these stact easily on the shelves. Whilst you are unlikely to find the entire range on sale in shops I have found some of the popular sizes in the likes of Morrisons and the DIY sheds.

2 Before  thinking of buying any add goodies for your LV try and get it weighed , to ensure that what you consider essential?  does not compromise your load capacity ,

We all have a room/space full of at the time "essential?"buys

Welcome to Club Together Chris and Diane.  Look forward to reading how you get on with it all.

On the subject of storeage solutions, I tend to agree with the post further up - don't take too much stuff with you.  I remember the stuff we used to take, especially when the kids were with us - we even used to take an 'awning fridge', which I certainly wouldn't do these days (even if I were going to warmer places in Europe.  

It might be worth looking at some of the stuff produced by Colapz.  Although a lot of the stuff may be more useful for the caravanner, its certainly worth a look....
