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.
Very interesting...something I would not have thought of. Pat, who has camped, would have made me aware.
