Alternatives to lack of storage space

Sounds like everything is full for folks who take a lot, and everyone in the less-is-more camp is happy there too. I've seen kayaks carried vertically on the back, likely va the hitch or ladder. Our tire is under the rear overhang; can't imagine getting it if it was on top, even with my collapsing ladder. I'm also interested in the portable washer, and the trailer for that matter. We've toyed with pulling a long trailer to fit everyone's gear for a long trip, especially since we often get to max on the rear axle - but can pull 10k. Since you're moving, I'd pull a trailer, which gives you flexibility at the new place- instant storage unit. You'll get the hang of backing up- or just go around the block a few times! Keep us posted.
