How much storage space do I need for camping gear on the motorcycle?Updated 6 months ago
For those who are just getting started in moto camping, we suggest you plan for around 30 liters of storage to carry the core camping gear with room for some extras. That's your tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and pillow.
This all depends on the gear you have and how small it packs. If you have a larger sleeping bag and tent, that may exceed the 30 liter mark.
Here is an example of the pack size for mid range gear:
Name | Packed Dimensions | Packed Volume |
---|---|---|
Kelty Far Out 2 Tent | 16x7" | 10 Liters |
Big Agnes Insulated Divide 25x72" | 8x5.5" | 3.1 Liters |
Big Agnes Echo Park 40 | 15x7" (uncompressed) | 9.5 Liters |
General Air Pillow | 0.5 Liters | |
Total Volume | 23.1 Liters |
Keep in mind you'll need room for clothes, water, snacks, tools, toiletries, etc. this is just a baseline to get started thinking about your pack size and how you plan to pack.
