Packing the supplies necessary for a four person cross-country trip is not a simple task. To start, I take inventory of clothes that still fit. If we need additional clothes, we go shopping! For maximum convenience, I pack Sam and Eli’s clothes into Ziplock bags, making sure each bag has a complete outfit, that includes a shirt, a pair of socks, pants, and underwear. This way, when they head to the shower, all they need to do is grab a Ziplock bag instead of rummaging through their containers for clothes.We store our clothes in large plastic containers, which we call “bins”. We use a the bin system for a variety of supplies, including, clothes, shoes, towels, etc. We stow our bins in the back of the truck while we travel because they are too big to stay inside the pop-up. At each destination, Matt unloads the bins from the truck to allow us to grab clothes. We also have small bins inside the truck which store books, games, and other items to keep us entertained while we travel. Check out the photos below to get an idea of how we organize our necessities!
