Default Luggage

Greeting!
I am requesting some info on luggage for the C8 from your storehouse of Wisdom.

We are currently on the Caravan in Bowling Green and packing for 10 days was a nightmare. I packed the car three times and used numerous different pieces of luggage. I finally got it done, but it was a mishmash.

Do you know of a source for quality luggage that will fit a C8 trunk and frunk?

I just use soft bags. I have one canvas bag that is over 40 years old that I have used for years.

An "Advanced search" across the C8 Forums should generated a LOT of relevant threads.

Soft bags are great. We have Thule.

https://www.thule.com/en-us/luggage

The frunk will take a roll on, and there we have Rimowa.

Soft bags should work really well for your trips.

If you can own a C8, just buy new clothes wherever you go and donate to the homeless when dirty.

This will sound rude, though that is not my intent: do you think that you just carry too much stuff? I take long - 4,900+ mile trips, and many shorter trips 1300+ miles and I can get TONS of stuff into my C8. The only lament, from the C7, is that I cannot carry my Yeti.

I keep telling wife, throw away and buy new clothes when traveling.
