Gear and packing
Separate Damp Gear on the Drive Home
Plan where damp shelter fabric, towels and footwear will go before you start packing. A designated container keeps these items away from clean bedding and clothing.
Start with the practical details
Use storage appropriate to the items and vehicle, and follow manufacturer guidance for cleaning and drying. Make the temporary load easy to unload at home.
Make the plan flexible
Label the damp container clearly so it does not disappear into long-term storage. Set a reminder to deal with it upon return.
Try this on your next trip
Unpack the items needing attention first. Put the dry containers away after the work of drying and cleaning is underway.
