Just started packing our goldstream for a long weekend, and got wondering where you pack everything. We have the inside fairly
well worked out for food, clothes, games and stuff that I'm bound to need this time. But always seem to struggle with the external lockers. Will get round to fitting a tube for poles now that daylight saving allows e few more hours in the day, but what to do with all the rest. We have an annexe,
camp oven, fry pan, jockey wheel, jack, hand
tools and battery to try to squeeze into lockers.
Perhaps I could redesign the A frame to include more gas bottles and jerry cans and also a tool box?
So Guru's any tips or ideas?
Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,
Many years ago my old man told me this tip.
As you are packing the caravan/ute/campertrailer put a red sticker on everything as you pack. As you use each item take the red sticker off.
When you get back
home and unpacked, anything with a red sticker still on it was not needed. Leave it
home next time.
this, of course, does NOT apply to
First Aid kits, tools, spare parts or Beer.
The biggest problem with this idea is that some items are vetoed as absoloutely necessary by the "significant other" in your life.
It's amazing how much you take and never use Using this method, at least, helps limit the overload.
Disco.
