Default Long term storage for quilts

I am moving in a week and will be living in my RV inside a huge workshop we built last year while my home is being built. I had to come up with a way to move and store quilts for about 6 mos. I found this canvas storage duffle on wheels that was designed for storing patio furniture cushions during the winter. It worked out fabulously. I did a lot of research on recommendations and some suggestions from board members. The duffle is lined with unbleached muslin. Each quilt is folded on the bias and muslin is separating each one so there are very few folds to contend with later. This is coming with us in my husband's enclosed truck and immediately moved into our workshop so I'll be able to access it, if needed. All of my quilts fit!! Probably have room for a couple more if I had anymore. Lol... For my heirloom quilts, I ended up using the cardboard center of the 40yd batting rolls and rolled them on the cardboard....then I placed them inside tote. I didn't count but I think there are 15-20 quilts in this. So relieved this worked out...and thought I'd share. I bought the duffle from an on-line catalog company but they no longer sell them...sorry...
