As the construction draws to a close I'm up against the hard limit of weight. My Vehicle is rated for a Gross Vehicle Weight of 16,800 lbs. The structure itself, the water tanks, and the necessary appliances will use up most of the allowance, and my belongings will have to be trimmed down, but we don't yet know what the finished weight of the trailer itself is.
So now I look at each book I'm packing not only in terms of how much I value the content, but also whether it's hardcover or paperback, and how thick it is. The Oxford English Dictionary is not going to make the cut!
I am hoping the all aluminum structure will have kept the weight low enough to let me have a good sized library. I don't own a tv, have no need for a sofa, and aside from the fridge and dishwasher, my appliances are small and light. I have a hand cranked Wonderwash clothes washer and a small spin dryer, a desk but no dining table, and my Kimberly wood stove is small and light. Finger crossed!
