After our trip to Mammoth, during which (on the way up at least) the Vanagon
was packed to the rafters, we have decided to get a small trailer in which
to store and haul our camping gear. The trailer will add roughly 200 pounds
to the load, but I think the Ghost can handle that, and it will certainly be
safer (and it will also free up some space in the shed). My wife and I have
had a couple of 'discussions' since returning on what constitutes essential
camping gear, and we are experimenting with things like space bags to see
how we can reduce the volume of the load, if not the weight.


20 years ago my idea of camping was that you walked in with what you could
carry on your back and came out the same way. I guess 20 years, an
undisclosed number of pounds, 3 kids and a wife changes things. : /


Cya,
Robert
