I was gone for 2 weeks, and had just one bag that fit in the boot, and a ice chest that fit in the back seat. I also brought some cleaning stuff in case I got stuck in the rain.

Normally I pack "backpacking" light. I figure that if I forgot something, I can buy it on the way.

Exactly two weeks for us as well (well, two weeks + 12 hours).

One large duffel-style bag behind us with the rear seat backs down, plus another small soft bag beside it, and another piece of overnight luggage in the trunk. I also packed with it a small backpack with essentials (breaker bar & 19mm socket, quart of oil, tire pressure gauge, small plastic bottle to top up coolant reservoir).

We squeezed some smaller stuff either below the seat backs, or on the shelf in the rear window area behind the seats. Obviously no golf clubs etc., but we did manage to squeeze in 6 bottles of wine from our Napa excursion

It was a challenge as we don't tend to travel light, but we didn't have any problems.

Outgoing baggage FEDX to Memphis, and again on return trip.

C4 doesn't hold much in the way of baggage.

Nice photos. Next time you are out our way, you will have to stop by and say hello.

Here is my Big Sur bridge photo
