If DW sees this...I'm DM (dead meat)!

Just wondering how many other RV'er's of the male gender have this problem. When the DW and I leave for a short one or two week trip, she always takes enough dresses, pant suits, blouses, etc. to see her (without doing laundry) for ( I kid you not) a couple of months! And, guess who is charged with carrying all those clothes to the MH and returning them (unused) to the house on return. Of course she always has an excuse such as, for example: "I don't know what the weather will be like so I need to be prepared". Of course, I perform that chore without too much complaining because, as you know, when Mama's not happy...no one's happy! :)

Never had that problem. We both pack our own clothes and put them in the motorhome. Regardless of how long the trip is we never take more than enough clothes to last more than 3 weeks. We have been on the road at times over 4 months and the same guideline still applied. We find it easier to stop occasionally to do laundry than to cart thousands of pounds of clothes along we may never use.

There are a few caveats however:
1. If we misjudged the weather or the need for any particular style clothing we may stop to buy some "souvenir clothing".

2. If something gets damaged or just plain worn out it gets replaced while on the road.

3. Any room not occupied by "essential clothing" is considered as potential room to store other souvenirs.

It works great for us.
