You would be a good candidate for a off road trailer, it has a be tough to get 6 people a dog and their gear in an 80, I filled my 80 almost to the gills with 3 adults one kid and their gear for a 2 day camping trip last week

You are telling me!!!! I had the Yakima Megawarrior at (or probably above) capacity, and stuff behind the 3rd row to the ceiling (you know, close the hatch and stuff it from inside....), not to mention stuff jammed between the kids in the 3rd row, etc. It was tight!

Yes, a trailer is in the future. Or at least one of those things that goes in the trailer hitch and has a big flat area for some stuff. But we don't have anything yet and wanted to go. On the other hand, it teaches you to pack ONLY what is absolutely NECESSARY. No gadgets or the like. But it was a lot of fun (minus the rain) and the boys (I have 4) loved the wheeling.


BTW - go ahead and count me in for one of the nets. I am sure it will be useful in one of several ways!!
