Next year.

Ma · Guru

It's great to have something to look forward to isn't it and the excitement just builds and builds.

The feeling when you actually drive out the gate is undescribeable

Happywanderer · The Master

Good on you Dusty. No harm in planning ahead. Make its all a lot easier when you do go. You will know exactly where you are going and shouldn't forget anything.

Boroma577 · Guru

Planning is half the fun....it's the only thing that kep me halfway sane in the last 12 months of my work life.

AmandaJayne · Guru

am already packing n unpaking .. its in the unpacked stage atm.... I must admit its all good fun!!! Hope your having as much fun as we are............. roll on next year!! YEAHHH!!!!

Cruising Granny · Guru

Jeez, you'll drive yourselve mad! Make a list of basics and load them and leave it at that.
Mind you, that's easy for me to say as I lived in a van on site before I moved into this one.
I had to have a "clearing sale" of all the STUFF I didn't need or have room for. It just about covered the cost of my first tank of diesel.

AmandaJayne · Guru

Too late!!!! I'm already as mad as a hatter as is!!! I even have a certificate to prove it!! :P roflol

Landfall · Guru

I don't know about anyone else, but - we always take too much, come back and say "we won't take that next year" and end up taking other stuff that we come back and say "we won't take that next year."

Can't see it changing this year or the next? confuse

Only plus, is that this year we bought a larger vehicle to "take more stuff!"

Not going thru that again.Although I did get a nice vehicle out of it. wink

Dusty. biggrin

Ma · Guru

I know what you mean Dusty. This is our third van and still we do the same as you.

This time I have been VERY strong and taken out anything that I didn't use on the last two trips but you can bet your bottom dollar that on this next trip I will need something out of that lot

kandagal · Guru

One thing about living in a caravan or motorhome it makes you hesitate before buying all those nice thingies on sale at markets. oh where wil they fit??

Brian88 · Senior Member

I always think of the aborigines when I look at all my junk,how much they travelled with!!b

Peterpan · Guru

We are in the same boat, carry too much "stuff".

We are going to try putting a sticker on the things we use and then put the things without stickers back into the garage.

Thats where the other "stuff" resides.

Landfall · Guru

biggrin biggrin biggrin I'll have to buy more stickers. biggrin biggrin

Dusty

Ma · Guru

Won't we all Dusty........... smile

Cruising Granny · Guru

Not me, 'coz I'm just too good. Bull!!!
I have a clean out twice a year. If I haven't used or worn something in the previous 12 months, then out it goes.
I had to top up the winter clothes when I came to SA, and that adds a bit of bulk to the wardrobe, but I'm not a hoarder of "stuff".
If I can't use it and there's no room for it, I don't buy it.

I am not a hoarder!

I am the keeper and protector of "stuff" for future generations to admire, when it is time to release it from my custody.

Only I can determine when that time has come? confuse

Dusty evileye

Ma · Guru

In other words, you are a real hoarder then Dusty..........

Brian88 · Senior Member

Brian88 · Senior Member

b?hell there's that bbbbbbbbbbb again!

Elle on Wheels · Guru

I am compiling a list of all the stuff I will need on the road. There is not much I want to hang on to just books and art work. That will go into storage. My main weakness is cooking stuff but after some time on the road I will no doubt shed a lot of that.
