I know they will probably tell me what i need to bring and not to bring for being on the truck with my trainer but does anyone have any tips on the extras that you end up needing and have to buy along the way,
or things you dont even need to think about bringing?
I saw a list on here a week or so ago but cant seem to locate it tonight
Thanks
Headed to Prime on 4-23-12

Pack light, after all two people in a truck is crowded, sleeping bag and pillow so it can roll up and be tucked out of the way..
try to fit everything into a duffle bag, and remember your sun glasses -
Congrats!!! Dont bring anymore than you need. A truck is cramped. The list is a good place, just do a search for it.
-
Pack as little as possible the truck is even smaller with two people in it. Learn everything you can from your trainer.

Pay attention, ask questions, and listen. While you are driving PAY ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING. But dont let one thing keep your attention too long. Try not to run any morons over...

thanks everyone for the quick reply's, i have a small duffel type bag that i easily put enough cloths for a week when im motorcycle touring on the Goldwing so used to packing light was gone 3 weeks last year to Yellowstone just washed about once a week,
-
Bring enough clothes for two to three weeks, May not get to stop every week for laundry
-
I'll kick you off my truck with 2 weeks of clothes. Not enough space. Plus your looking at an overweight bag and a possible charge on the Grey-Dog
A trainer is a POS if he can't get you an hour or two each week to do your and HIS own laundry.
I say a weeks worth with maybe two days of extra undergarments (socks, underwear, undershirt) you might have to skip a day or so on a shower depending on load or parking situation, but you'll feel a bit fresher. -
