I just went through this in June. I began shedding items such as furniture, kitchen items, tools, clothes, etc 1 year prior. By the time the house sold I thought I'd whittled it down, via "garage sales", Craig's List and non-profit donations, to a manageable level.
Reality set in when I drove the, new-to-me, Class A home. No way could I get all I set aside into the limited space, so I gave more to non-profit and neighbors/friends.
After 3 months on the road I can truthfully say I don't miss anything I left behind. I can even get rid of a few more things if I so desire.
30 towels? I've got 3 bath towels. Bear in mind I'm single traveling with 2 dogs. I've got a set of 4 dinnerware. A few dish towels, Oven Mitts, Kitchen utensils, etc. Minimal pots, pans and baking items.
Unless you are a True Hoarder, believe me, you'll find you can get by with a lot less than you think.
Good Luck!
