The more I use the tent, the more "puffy" it gets ----- less room to stow things....
I leave a couple of pillows up there.

I leave the sleeping bags and pillows up there. When I put the table on top I think it actually helped compact it because I could push down on it and the air seemed to come out better.
Finally got around to stopping by the Container store as I've been wanting to try something a little different than the wolfpaks.
The wolfpaks are cumbersome for storage utility that gets tons of use while camping. I see them being ideal for storage that gets open/closed infrequently. Specifically I find them rather annoying to pull all the way out, the lids flip sideways and those latches are kinda :snorkel:
These are what I'm going to try out this weekend:
Note they have a sliding inner container that is somewhat clear:
Overall size is pretty close, they are a tad shorter and not quite as long:
So what about everyone else? Any other ideal containers you're using?:smiley_drive:

lost on the mainland
with my 60 L fridge the rubbermaid containers from costco I got fit perfect
they are kinda tan and like the black with grey lid models of rubbermaid you can get ? forgot the model
but perfect width for two and perfect height to sit on top
I can try to snap a pic if you need ?
Pics would be great I'm starting to get idea's for shelves on the passenger side.
Here are the containers I used: http://www.containerstore.com/shop/storage/drawers?productId=10006900
Overall they worked out quite well. I took a really bumpy trail at the end of the trip and one drawer slipped out through the back of the shelf. :Wow1: All in all not too bad. I should be able to rivet in another rear strip to keep that from happening again.

teebes,
Have you deployed the tent with it sitting higher? Does it strain to hit the ground?
On our last trip with Tennmogger, we set up on a pretty good decline, leveling the trailer with the jockey wheel. The tent was short on one side and dangling on the other -----
Do you compensate by not extending the tent all the way forward?
Hard to see but, tent on slope:
