   Hey Guys .. first off, thank you for your blog .. we just picked up our new International Signature a couple months ago and have been getting all of our necessities together for the spring time .. cannot wait hit the road ! Your tips have been invaluable as well as travelling w/ a pet .. so THANK YOU so much for all that .. especially winterizing my rig and the checklists have been awesome.

   Quick question .. how do you guys optimize your storage space .. the Signature is not the king of storage .. was wondering how you organize your “overhead” bins to take full advantage of the space we have .. trying to figure out hot to store dishes, cups, etc .. have read about locker dividers, but thought that I’d pick your brain as well ..

   Also wondering how you keep you gas and water cans upright in the bed of your truck ..just hate to have 10-20 gallons of liquid all over the bed because I didnt tie them down well enough !!

   thanks again for all the info ..we truly enjoy watching your adventures
   Happy Holidays for Kansas

      Hi Joe! Congrats on your new Airstream! We’re so glad the blog has been helpful as you’re prepping! The organizational question is a biggie and it makes me want to write a post so I can really get into it. 🙂 I’ll have that up soon. As for the cans in the truck bed, we use ratchet tie-down straps (like these: https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Ratchet-Tie-Down-Alternative/dp/B014AG5LXK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1515019546&sr=8-5&keywords=truck+tie+down+straps) that make it easy to get a tight hold, and rectangular water cans (like these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MTI0GA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) (we also like those cans because the built-in spout makes it SO much easier to get the water into the trailer–we had a terrible time before we got those using a funnel) that will sit tight together. We don’t carry gas cans with us. Where are you heading in the spring?

   Can you publish some thoughts on your tow vehicle? Are you happy with it, how well does it go up hills, what’s the mileage like, etc? Have Ecoboost 3.5 or 2.7?

      Yes! We recently upgraded our tow vehicle and love it. We went from Ford F-150 to Ford F-150 🙂 hoping we had a lemon the first time around… tbd. This one is a Ecoboost 3.5, no problems pulling over mountains, towing is easy with this thing, up any hill we’ve encountered. Mileage is sad, as expected, like 7-10 mpg. We got the 36-gal gas tank on the new truck, which has been a HUGE upgrade for us and we’d recommend. Also–be sure to install the fuses needed to charge the trailer via the plug–apparently that’s not done by default, even with the tow package. After dealing with that on truck #1, we just realized we need to do it on truck #2.
