Congrat's and welcome - I have an AmeriLit 21MB and I really enjoy it. It's nto the highest quality on the planet, but it has served us really well.

Packing? Well, for the pantry, the KISS* method works well for me. I know that I will use 4-5 spices more than others, so I only pack what I know that I will need, something like Emeril's Essence can be put on different meats for easy cooking. We don't take extra plates and cups, because then we end up with too many dishes to do at a time.

Take your pen and paper out to the camper and pretend that you are cooking - what do you really need? And if you pack it and haven't used it by the third trip - then you don't really need it. Same with the household, washroom, etc.

Have fun! I'd love to go camping but with 4-7 inches of snow predicted for tonight, I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon!
