Does anyone have pictures of the inside of your HTT packed? I have this obsession of how things are packed (after owning a 10' PUP).
I'll take pictures of our HTT next time we go out.

since my 23SS has so much inside storage, the only thing pics of the inside of my HTT would show, would be:
1.two zero-gravity chairs and patio mat on the folded-dinette
2.the dog's bed/water dish, shore cord and entrance mat on the floor, next the front bunk
3.and a storage tub and the outside grill, on the floor, next to the rear bunk.
other than that, everything else are in the inside cabinets.

 Yeah I've packed that way before too but.....
If everything is actually "packed" what you'll get is the inside of an RV and you can get that from the manufacturers web site usually.

Thanks for sharing about the things that can't be put away in drawers, cabinets, etc.
I mostly have the following
- 12' x 12' Awning Tent
- 2 children's bikes
- 2 folding tables
- My wife and I's bag
- 2 sleeping bags
- Children's bike seat to be installed on 1 adult bike
- Bin with sheets/towels
- Toolbox
- 2x6 wood for leveling
- Cooler
In the bathroom, I put:
- Fishing poles in the shower
- Tupperware bin with cleaning/misc supplies
- Bucket with coals/duralogs
I was also asking because if we had to stop for one of the kids to go to the bathroom or something, it wouldn't be easy to use the toilet. Also, going in and out at the dump station is not straight forward as the door on our Bantam is in the rear and I try to place heavy things in the rear of the HTT to minimize tongue weight (still keeping it within 10-15%).

Well im glad im not the only that is wondering what will go in what drawer for easy access. Its like do you hang clothes in the Closet or do i make that into a Pantry ? I look in the mod Section several times and got some great idea. Just wondering as to what people put where and for what reason.

We must not be taking enough stuff. Actually, like bikendan, 99% of our stuff is in it's assigned spot in a cabinet. We have an ottoman-type thingy that came from WM that holds doggie things + gives us a footrest while watching a movie and it's all that's sitting out in transit. Huge believer in plastic organizers. Granted, there are only 2 of us, but we each have a laundry basket that fits the top shelf of the wardrobe for our clothes. If it fits, it can go. Otherwise, too bad. The only things hanging are jackets or bulky sweatshirts. We have a slightly larger laundry basket that lives on the rear bunk while we're camping and then moves to the shower for driving time. If you are towing with a truck, you can make dandy use of the larger rubbermaid containers for all sorts of stuff for grill, campfire, lantern, hydraulic jack for emergencies and who knows what else DH has in them. Firewood goes up at the front of the truck bed, rug, chairs, small folding tables and the rubbermaids all have their spot. If we need to add the blue tote, it gets turned on its side and then sits along the side of the bed. DH uses a cabinet in the ROO for an asst of tools, black tank stuff, misc stuff and then what I think is probably "just in case" stuff. It's full, but it's in its assigned spot.
Re the wardrobe vs pantry - our answer is yes. In our 23SS it's a double wardrobe, so one side has stacking vinyl covered wire baskets secured to the wall with sticky velcro and the other side is for hanging clothes. Also put the pillows in front of the wire baskets and on the hanger side to give the baskets a bit more support and keep the things in the baskets where they were put while in transit.
We have our ROO packed with everything we could possibly want/need and still have room. This includes things like cooking utensils, coffee maker, blender, grilled cheese sandwich maker, small ice cream freezer, and a Dutch oven. We use Corelle dishes, mugs, plastic glasses, regular silverware. Plastic bags, saran wrap, foil and whatever else is in that bottom drawer. Fully understand that with little ones, you need more stuff, but maybe this is a time when teaching about "taking what fits in this container" is in order. Another observation, whether right or wrong, is that folks tend to take too much stuff - I know, I should talk. But remember, you're camping so it's allowable to wear the same jeans for 2 days. Try to reduce to a minimum. We also have a pretty well stocked pantry of basics and "in case of lousy weather" food. But I plan our meals pretty closely and only take the things we need. Ben and Jerry's in the freezer is considered a necessity. A 3-ltr box of wine is another necessity.
Good luck in minimizing and suggest heading for the organizer section of your favorite store. Makes things stay where you put them, easier to load and unload, and when you fill to the top - you're done. Happy camping!
