RE: How do you pack for a long rip?
I use these all the time and they work great for long trips...you won't believe how much you can get in them and how they'll shrink the stuff down. Here's the link https://www.spacebag.com/travelbag/902315/ and no you don't need a vacuum.

I don't know how some of you folks buy new underwear and wear it straight out of the package. I'd rather pack and do laundry during the trip than wear something that was made in some filthy sweatshop and not wash it before I wear it.

Well,
All you gotta do is take plenty of money........when the old stuff gets dirty just box it up and UPS or FedEx it to your house with the cheapest rate........then buy new stuff.......you were gonna find new stuff to buy on your trip anyway weren't you?
Or you could just stay in a motel that does it for you or has washers and dryers at the end of the hall for the rooms.....saw one of them a couple of weeks ago in a nice hotel.......didn't use 'em though, yep, bought new stuff and wore some of it..............

Why do you have a problem washing your most intimate apparel with someone else's crusty, dirty, filthy underwear? Geese, picky, picky, picky...

I always run bleach through a complete cycle before I put my clothes into a laundrymat washer.

Get good bungee cords! We can take a 6 man tent, queen size air mattress, two camp chairs and a camp table and strap em on to our RK. Just strap everything individually.
After you have her packed, test her by yourself for load distribution. If she's ok, you're set, if not, start over.
