Road trips in a Corvette

Warm weather is almost here, and that means road trips.  We know that we need to be smart in packing our Corvettes, as space is at a premium.  So, be sure to include the basics, e.g. First aid kit, water and snacks, FRS radios (if you are part of a group), sunscreen and sunglasses, comfortable clothing and shoes (loose fitting, soft/stretchy/breathable fabrics) among other items.  

How much can I fit in a Corvette?  I recently found this video on packing a C8 for a trip, and it’s more than I expected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIiYCAh-twE

And if money is no object, luggage to fit same vehicle:  https://www.corvettestoreonline.com/collections/corvette-travel
