Sometimes I Think I'm A Hoarder!
What in the heck do I do with all my extra rugs, blankets, sheets, towels and other junk I have stored at the house? I constantly find myself thinking about clearing stuff out in prep for full timing ...

When we started fulltiming 13+ years ago, we had sold the house and virtually everything in it, given away most of the rest and headed on down the road in a 33' fiver (5'longer than we'd needed because of what we thought our 3 (now 1) cats might need). They couldn't have cared less.
We didn't put anything in storage nor did we keep a "home base". Everything we thought we'd need, we had with us. A year later we took inventory and found that about 30% of what we had with us we hadn't seen or touched in that year. Out it went. To this day we still subscribe to the notion that if we haven't seen or used it in the last year it is gone. We also hold firm that if something comes in, something else has to go out.
Those notions have enabled us to downsize to a much lighter and shorter (29') fiver which enables us to get into the older SP and NP and older private park sites which we much prefer. It took us 5 years before we reached the point that we hadn't seen or used something that had to go.
Except for a few nuts, bolts and other fasteners there is nothing that we're carrying that we've not utilized in the last year and are still carrying.
