Monello isn't having this problem because he's been living in the motorhome off and on for a bunch of years, but I'm having to decide what goes, what gets sold or gotten rid of, and what needs to go into storage.
Crunching the numbers, by the time I've paid for a storage unit for several years, I could replace most of the stuff that would go in there. BUT I have some sentimental items that I want to keep, plus my entertainment center is a perfect wall unit that I'll probably never find again for under $5000.
I recently did a major downsize when I moved from my house into an apartment, and it was completely painless. As much as I despise clutter and don't care to collect a lot of belongings, it's amazing how much crap I had actually accumulated. So now I'm taking it down even further, but with an eye toward years in the future when we settle into a permanent home somewhere. Honestly, I could live happily out of a suitcase in assorted hotels - I am a vagabond at heart - but I don't want to be too rash in getting rid of everything.
