We mainly travel with two only in the car. When just two of us I take the rear
seat out and install a shelf that lines up with the
drawers. All "dangerous" (stuff that will hurt in an accident) gear goes under the shelf and is thus secured in case of an accident. All that is left consists of pillows, blankets and soft bags with clothes. All food goes in the two fridges and one drawer. The second drawer has the two butane stoves and all the car stuff like spares, tools etc. All recovery gear goes in a void besides the
drawers. For sleeping either a roof top tent or swags, stored on the roof. One luxury that we do take is a port-a-loo that is securely bolted to the shelf.
Been doing it like this for years.
But I will add that the GVM has been increased as we are "over" the standard GVM. Especially when taking two spares (steel rims) and extra fuel on the rack.
Towed a hired T-van down the CSR because we had one grand kid kid on board and wanted to shift some weight off the car as the GVM upgrade hadn't been finalised. But that is it. Wouldn't bother again though. The beauty of being able to "test" drive one without purchasing one.
