Empty Weight

Well on Wednesday we tackled the whole empty the RV to get it weighed. While son and I ran errands and got our car weighed, mom and daughter put most everything in the RV in bins that we had been keeping in our storage unit. Many of these bins had been used to help us move the last time and as we have still been pairing down and purging our stuff we have accumulated empty bins. By mid afternoon the inside was almost done and we were emptying out the outside storage bays and just setting the content of those right on the ground next to where it came out of, so that when I returned it could go right back in. It was almost the beginning of rush hour before I was able to leave to go get the RV weighed, which was a 30 mile distance away to the closest functioning weigh station. The only other one in town was still underwater from hurricane Mathew, so it was an ordeal to get to the next one and back during rush hour. I didn't get back till almost dark after dealing with stop and go traffic for three and a half hours.

I wish I would have remembered to take a picture of our campsite with all of our stuff strewn about the patio and in the grass, but I did get one on Thursday morning of the aftermath that was still left to be put away.

Once I got back with the RV the race was on to get everything back inside before the dew got to it too badly. We didn't get dinner till 9:30 and didn't get to bed till 11 due to having to at least organize enough to get to our beds. For the next three days it was a project of putting everything back, but also trying to organize it better, and really determine if some of the stuff we were putting back was being used often enough to consider getting rid of it.
