In fact we still have between a quarter and one third of our under the bed storage area that is totally empty. We have a long overhang behind our rear wheels, plus our gas tank is back there so it is very important to keep as much weight forward of those back wheels as to not be overweight back there.<br /><br />That make be a good idea for a post one day when we don't have much to talk about.

We've been talking about taking a longer than 1-2 week trip in it this spring. I am curious about where/how you store all the "stuff" that comes with living full-time (kitchen gear, seasonal clothes, essentials, all the special food and pantry basics you need for your GF diet, Kevin's tools, etc). I do understand about paring down to the essential basics, but still, even just living and preparing food in a small space does require a certain amount of "stuff" and clothing. I think it would make an interesting post - that is if you don't mind sharing some personal space stuff. Really looking forward to your next Mexico trip.
