Minimalist married to clutter bug.
Going camping in a small camper, I take very little. On the other hand, my wife who rarely comes with, thinks she needs to take everything--just in case. How do others deal with this problem.?

Do you load it up for her? Have her do all the packing and lifting and repacking when you return home and carry it in herself and perhaps she'll cut down. :)
I am the dear wife and I fully support the above statement. I do the majority of the deciding of what to take and more than my share of the work loading and unloading. As newbies we broke all the rules and our backs toting around more stuff than necessary...we learned. We now pack lite and love it more!
I have no clue why many other gals do just the opposite. The point all "those" gals need to understand...how much more fuel it costs to carry it all over the country, how frustrating it is to dig like a gopher to find and put things away, how dangerous it is to have so many loose items out on the counter going down the road/keeping all the cabinets and lower bays too full, and how much misery she may be putting herself & her family through. Why are they afraid simplify? I reckon it has something to do with the female nurturing/nesting/need to be prepared/take care of people deal...sad because it can all be done so much easier with more refreshing results...less is truly more!
But you guys sure are kind to let your dear ladies do what they want. Thankfully my dear one and I see a fully loaded coach as an overloaded disaster in the making. Happy safe travels no matter how you manage to do it!
