I'm sorry you do not understand the goals of packing for vacations.

I’m sorry you didn’t understand I meant the additional weight of the cast iron, up high no less. Happy cooking (if that’s why y’all bought it).

Thanks! We are extremely happy with them so far.

The luggage or the griddles? Believe it or not we just rolled past Pigeon Forge on our way to Knoxville last Wednesday. I didn't know there was a Lodge factory outlet there, but if I did I still would have been scared to go anywhere near Pigeon Forge!

I understood perfectly. We bought them to use on people who troll forum threads.

So what's for breakfast?

 

[Tazilon Brenner]

Not very subtle.

Yes. I tried to write the post at your level.

Thanks for the tip on the bag! It also works great in the trunk of my AMG C43 convertible! Holds a ton of clothes. Just did a 14 day trip.

I agree - worth every penny (or £).

Can you tell me the size of the one that sits at the bottom so I can get the right set please.

many thanks.

I find my 19x9x14" rolling toolcase fits very nicely in the bottom of the trunk with enough room for my 22" luggageworks stealth roller on top, with room for loose items or small duffel to the side.

Hi Everyone,

After spending around 4-5 hours online lookup, I finally found the decent priced, perfect sized bag for bottom of the trunk.

And this bag also fills up that 2-3 inches space right behind the rear license plate in the trunk.

Here is the link: Amazon.com: REDCAMP Heavy Duty Camp Stove Carry Bag, Stove Carry Case For Camping Stove Gas Grill Accessories: Kitchen & Dining

It is $24.99. So, if you wouldn't like to spend a few hundred bucks on set of bags that you might use not more than couple of times per year, this is a go.

I know, this bag is not as great as the "specifically made for our car luggage sets", still does the main job which is filling up that particular space 100%.

I have looked every single listing and read the dimensions under portfolio bags, under bed storage organizers, desktop computer tower carry bags, duffel bags, and all other different categories. Finally came up with this Camping Stove Carry Bag.

The perfect dimensions we were looking for was": 25x20x4 inches. Since the bag is made of canvas, it would easily take the shape of the area where it is put.

Here are the photos I took:

Thank me later

Absolutely agree Johnk. One caveat is don't order from Amazon UK as the same description is for a larger bag. At $25.99, it's a bargain

We are going on a three week holiday to the Outer Hebrides in the North West of Scotland, taking the ferry from Oban to Barra and driving and ferry to Lewis and returning via Ullapool.

With this in mind I wanted to maximise the luggage capacity – I had already used the larger hard case before, on weekend trips, but not on the longer holiday excursions.

I used two pieces of 1/8” thick hardboard inside the bag – one in the top and one at the bottom.

The top one I made 24” x 17.7” the bottom one being smaller to allow for the rounded corners of the well, being 24” x 17.7 “. If you use the hardboard don't forget to round off the corners. The hardboard allows for keeping shirts nice and flat and crease free

For the main luggage I have used a hard case from John Lewis in the UK, although providing the size is right any hard case would do, however as this is a maximum size the corners are rounded in order for it to fit. The size of this case is 27” x 19” x10 ¼, not including the wheels.

The advantage of a hard case, of course, is you can pack more in as you can compress the contents as you close the case and therefore contain more in a smaller space.

There is room at the back and each end of the case to “stuff” various other items for more immediate use and room on top of the case at the back for waterproofs and/or warm jumpers – handier here than in the case.

Thanks for sharing

Further to my latest post I have included some extra storage in the cabin as shown in the photo.

These are both from Amazon UK at Yhuasia Car Side Gap Pocket, Auto Seat Gap Storage Box, Car Seat Gap Organiser, Seat Crevice Storage Box, Car Seat Storage Box, for Mobile Phones Keys Cards Wallets Glasses (Black) : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive and Eidyer Multifunctional Car Armrest Storage Box, Cup Holder Storage Box for Car, Large Separate Space Armrest Box, Car Armrest Organizer, Universal Foldable DIY Car Seat Tray Organizer : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive

As you can see they are relatively inexpensive at £14.99 and £8.99.

The side gap pockets fit snuggly at the side of the seat and can be easily removed and come as a pair.

The arm rest storage box is fixed with Velcro tape supplied and can be threaded from the back of the arm rest cover, through the base of the box and buckle and fixed to the side carpet with the Velcro and gives a very firm fixing.

Fitted as shown the rear cubby box and existing arm rest box are still accessible.

The box comes with two drinks holders that you won't be able to use as they foul the existing arm rest box, although you could clip one inside the box. Like the side gap pockets the box is easily removed, with no damage.
