I have finally come up with a system for packing that decreases the time I need for that to about an hour. First, I have bought duplicates of certain things I use all the time in the house and they arent removed, like duplicate dog crates. I have two square 19" laundry baskets that I fill with stuff like food for frig and electronics. When emptied they nest and are used for laundry. I have 3 drawer Sterilite storage carts in the van and in the house. Some of the full drawers are simply swapped out into the van. And my clothes (after much trial and error) are packed into a clear bin that slips into place in the van. I do have a checklist, but I keep telling myself that I can always stop and shop if I leave something home.
