Off to France in the morning and am just adding the finishing touches to the packing. We're using the new trailer for the first time 6x4x2.4ft which I thought was massive when I picked it up but I've completeley filled it! I've also put on the roof box which is another 520litres and that is well on the way to being full too. That said there are six of us and the bedding itself takes up quite a bit of volume but I need to practice my packing skills for future ventures as it would be great to go without the roofbox. I'll post pics on return.
