RE: Packing a Westy
I my previous post I forgot one very important thing.
SECURE THE LOOSE STUFF!!!
If you have ANYTHING that you do not want to get hit in the head with,
secure it!  I've rolled a Westy, three sides.  You won't believe where
things end up.  I was lucky, the very heavy equipment boxes in back
did not come up front.  But if I had been traveling any faster (was
nearly stopped before the rollover) I might not be writing this.  Even
a panic stop in traffic can turn things in the back into missiles
aimed at the back of your head.  It is very easy to add hook eyes at
various points around the interior and use a bungee cord cargo net to
keep things where you put them.
