But it does give me something to do.


Jim, it's subliminal. Remove x amount of stuff because you don't need it. Getting ready to go somewhere or on the road you see something you like; it might come in handy...then, in the back of your mind but not a real thought, subliminally, you think, "yeah, I pulled out x amount of gear and I've got room", and it starts all over again. I've been doing it since we bought this trailer. Think I'm making progress removing things but just add different stuff back in.

Any experienced camper will tell you that if you remove something to lighten the load, that will be the FIRST thing you need when you are stuck somewhere in the boonies with the nearest Wallmart 3 counties over.

I once unloaded the entire camper onto my driveway. I was shocked how much I was carrying and how many things I never even used.

Becky
Exactly. Thank you.
