And when you do put things back in the van don't store a snap-cap bottle of honey in the curtain tray above the stove area expecting that it will never tip over and leak.  I've heard of this happening.

Despite this broken ankle, Mrs Squirrel and I have plans to go camping
this weekend.

I tell ya fellows, learn from my mistakes and don't do what I did.
Specifically, do NOT make a 1,000 mile move from one state to another with
a good portion of your camping gear packed with the furniture in a moving
truck, unpack your van and moving truck and stash the stuff here and there
around the house, telling yourself that when next year's camping season
comes around you'll just gather everything up and make the van ready to
go. I still can't find, like, half the gear.

Anyone see the cables I use to connect the solar panels to the van? How
could I lose track of those?

I've even looked in the sock drawer.
