Ok Boonie here's a visual tour of my camper's storage. Keep in mind right now the camper is fairly empty right now and not packed for a trip so I'll explain if there are any items not in the picture that would normally be there. Plus doing the last couple of changes required a little more working room so stuff came out.
First off looking right in from the camper door. You'll see the ARB fridge in the isle on the left. The kitchen pelican case will squeeze in between the ARB and the lower bench. It's a tight fit so it don't move at all on or off road. I usually pack a small cooler right in front of the pelican to allow for quick access to cold drinks from the front seat while on the road. The step normally gets folded up and set with the camp chairs where it's sitting right now. Pardon the dust...I didn't muck it out after the last trip to the Great Sand Dunes.
Up on top of the counter top rides the camp stove. Behind it are my fishing poles and further up is just an assortment of blankets and small pillows. Most of anything I keep up here besides the stove are usually just the blankets and stuff like that.
This is the small cabinet backed up by the propane storage box. You can see some of what is stuffed in there. Given the state of things I might have to put a lock on it to keep my TP secure as it's pretty quick to get to if you gotta go! But there's a roll of gorilla tape in the bottom, flashlight, straps, some assortment of brackets for the just in case need to patch the woodwork back together, box-o-bungee cords and the dog's light up collar so I can see her in the dark at camp.
Still on the driver's side, in front of the furnace and beside the ARB is a nice space for stuffing some of the more irregular shaped objects. My roll up table goes above the wheel tub there. I added some netting under the cabinet to hang onto soft/light weight items. My camera tri-pod fits perfectly between the wheel tub and the ARB. The tarp is there for makeshift shade or something to lay on under the truck if I have to work on it for any reason. I keep an extra pair of old shoes back here because I've been known to head to the mountains with only Teva sandals on and might need more appropriate footware.

Middle cabinet. Normally I put a tote in here with my non-perishable food. Bread, chips, snacks, canned goods and such. There's usually enough room to put a few other items on top of the tote or to the side.
The front cabinet. Camping gear and other miscellaneous goodies. This is one I don't need to get into regularly because it's closer to the front of the camper (can't reach from the back at the door) and due to a slight tactical error on the design the ARB blocks the door to open unless I open it up. Really I can't complain because I didn't have the ARB during the build up phase so I didn't know any better. But If I forget to latch the doors together at least this one can't swing forward at all. Seen here is one of the totes I use so you can see the space leftover for other loose items.
The very front part of the cabinet. This is the area where a 3-way fridge was when I first got my camper. FWC just had a board that dropped straight down and the very front and met up with the bottom board that we ended up cutting the corner off of. This sacrifice was for comfort more than anything. The 2 hour drive home when I bought the camper with the 3-way fridge in there would not allow my seat to recline to my liking and I was sitting almost upright and hated it. Knowing I wasn't going to keep the 3-way we cut the bottom shelf to allow the seat to go where I want it. We added a piece of trim to keep small items from rolling off the shelf while driving. What you'll see is two doors for access to some small storage spaces. The panel in the center is my electrical monitor, the panel in on the upper right has a 12v outlet and two USB charging ports. The switch at the bottom right is the master power for the camper. I can shut all the power off to the camper through that switch and eliminate draw to the aux battery when the camper is not in use.
The upper cubby is just a place that I store small items like power cords and such. It's actually deeper than the door opening but due to the location you really can't see inside it.
The lower cubby has access from inside and out. Mainly for the electrical system, but I've been known to throw my air-down tool in here for multi-day trips for easy access. I need to build a bracket for the shunt that my electrical panel uses to monitor amp draw.
Here's the same space from the outside with the panel off.
Going back inside looking at the rear section of the small cabinet over the passenger side window. I always have grocery sacks in this spot as they are easy to get to for using as small trash bags inside the camper and truck as well as outside while cooking. Sometimes I'll stuff another roll of TP up there for the longer trips. Also seen here is a rain poncho if the weather turns wet.
The front half of the small cabinet houses a couple Klymitt sleeping pads, an inflateable Klymitt pillow and my cooling towels. Running a K5 without any A/C in the desert the cooling towels are life saving. I'm sold on them. You can kind of see the LED light strip I attached to the bottom of this cabinet and at the very front there's another 2 USB charging point (perfect for charging your phone when you go to bed in either spot)
Getting into the lower bench storage, this is at the rear closest to the door. This is where I put my large tool bag, cordless impact and drill I carry on trips. Seen in the pic is the crate that holds the extension cord, jumper cables, fuel pressure gauge, spare stub axle shaft. Seen next to the crate is a bag with other spare parts for the engine. The plastic ammo box holds my volt/ohm meter and electrical supplies. There's a giant pair of slip jaw pliers down there too for the "what if" repairs where pair of big pliers is required. I usually stuff clean red shop rags in the corner for easy access too.
Midway up the lower bench storage you'll find my stash of fluids needed for the truck. There's a couple of spare lockout hubs for the front axle in there along with a bunch of zip ties and mechanic's wire. There's room for more gear over the wheel tub as well.
The next soft sided bag in the lower bench is camping gear. These bags are great as they keep stuff contained together and not loose rattling around in the bench itself.
Up front in the bench I have my extra supplies of bottled water. I'll toss gatorade and my beer up here. As I use cold drinks out of the ARB I replenish from here one at a time.
Moving to the area just behind the driver seat you'll find my ammo boxes with my air tools and my hydraulic bottle jack. I usually end up tossing my jacket back here if I'm running in the mountains for when it gets chilly. There's room for some other small items but I try to keep it open so the ARB has proper ventilation.
This is looking rearward under the cabinet so you can see the kind of space available to stuff gear if it's needed.
Moving over to the passenger side, you can see where the fire extinguisher rides and just see the side of the first aid kit.
With the seat back forward.
I've learned where things make the most sense to be put over the last two summers of use. I'll probably refine it more as I use it, but this setup has proven pretty efficient given the small space my camper really has compared to newer FWC campers.
