Trailer: 1985 13 ft U-Haul

Pjanits When we first began our camping odyssey some 40 years ago we were backpackers. In that mode we could get everything we needed for a one week to 10 day trek in two backpacks, mine weighing about 45 to 50 lbs ( much of today's lightweight gear was only an impossible dream at that time ) and my wife's pack coming in at about 30 to 35 lbs. We ultimately graduated to a 24 foot fifth wheel and about 500 to 650 lbs of "gear" and over the course of about 30 years have worked our way through a sequence of trailers, each smaller than it's predecesor, finally arriving at our little 13 foot Burro with maybe 150 to 200 lbs of "gear". Of note we have been no more or less comfortable regardless of the amount of stuff we packed. I guess the moral of this story is that one's needs and wants will always expand to the precise amount of space available and, for the most part , won't make an appreciable difference in one's comfort !!
