Luggage - what to take and where to put it


In this type of car, there is not much space for luggage. In the back stays the engine, and in the front the space available is only valid for the spare tyre, fire extinguisher and mechanic tools and liquid recipients (maximum 5l) for example. So, all your luggage will be visible for others.
Minimum required: small luggage with changing clothes, hygiene items, bottles of water, fruit, cakes and very important a small jerrycan for petrol in case the one in the 13l deposit runs out before you reach some station.
On my turn, it was necessary to put more stuff inside the car. For starters, a huge luggage (weight around 50kg) with practically all my clothes occupying all the back seat surface. On top of that a normal luggage filled with books and shoes. Behind the right seat, a small television. Still on the back, one small backpack, one laptop bag, one volumous winter jacket, and a small handbag. I could have putted more stuff in the back, but decided was better to have some vision to the rear behind my seat. Besides, in case of strong braking or an accident, is never good idea to have loose objects that can use my head as a target for the laws of physics. In the photo, we can see that in the back seat there was still some space left.
Also, on the right seat it was possible to squeeze a microwave, a backpack with my laptop, sleeping bag, a pilow and three bottles of alcohol. Not the best of the ideas, i must say, but nothing was broken!
