Just the other day I had cause to empty the front storage box on my Flores 480, now this is not a large box I would say medium in size however I was astonished as to how much gear was stashed inside it, what got me was the fact that every single item was put back in, but tidy and I still have room for more!.

Could not help myself and jotted down a list of contents as I was repacking:

 

Rope for rope swing

Straps

Air freshener “spray cans” x two

Mains hook up lead

Selection of bungee cords

Tool box, full up

Fold up wardrobes x 2

Dumpy gas bottle

Foot pump

Pump for airbeds

Hitch lock

3 x Disposable BBQ’s

Washing up bowl

Compass

Washing up liquid

Cloths pegs

Coffee sweetener

Sausage fryer

BBQ tools

TT spares box

Leg winder

Small gas canisters for lights x four

 

My question is, have I forgotten anything, what would you add and what would you chuck.

Sensible, non-abusive and constructive comments welcome at this light-hearted reality check on the amount of junk we all carry around in our TT’s.

Regards

Plain forgot about the large round plastic foot plates that go under the bed legs! and love the "smelly" crab gear, re the smellys, our boys tend to forget about the box of maggots and worms, maybe thats why we have a couple of cans of air freshner in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
