Part of the learning curve for Rving. When we looked at our new trailer I was impressed with the amount of storage available.. As we prepare for our first long adventure and load the trailer and truck we now are aware that the volume of storage access is not the problem. It is the placement and amount of weight. Now it is somewhat like reducing gluten or salt in your diet, you start reading labels with a different eye. How much does it weigh? Do I put it in the trailer or truck? How does it balance front to back side to side. Tongue weight now has a new importance. There are lots of blogs out there and as we get further into the process some things start to make more sense.
How things change.Ten years ago we would not be carrying nearly 50 lbs of technology puters, nooks, cameras or calculating how much they weigh. One of these blogs we will examine the comparison of a typical wagon train weight to what we are taking. And we don't have to have a three month supply of flour sugar and beans!
And it does not take long to have a "ton of stuff" literally.
Stay tuned as we near weigh in time.

Bit By Bit The Bird Builds Its Nest - Haitian saying
Bit by bit Rich and Cheryl
get ready for their summer adventure.
Piti piti swazo fe nich
Rephrase: What was I
thinking? Working and getting ready for a four month camping trip!
There isn't enough time in a day. But a little purchase here, a
little purchase there, organize a few meal plans, network ideas with
others and I think when the leave day arrives we'll be ready. Mostly,
the two weeks before we leave I won't be working so will focus on
getting ready; clothing, toiletries, gathering my sanity, organizing
three weeks worth of meals. Yikes! I told Rich that was a lot of
spaghetti for lunch and dinner (a small joke).
