Luggage space is not the problem, weight is. You realize that the weight
capacity of the C5 is 400 pounds? So you can get 2 passengers and a box of
Kleenex in it for travel. On the reality side I took the GF and enough
luggage to dress the Swiss army on a 6,000 mile cruise to the Pacific and
the Atlantic coasts this year without any real problems. Actual we had room
to spare. It rained so hard all the way through Oregon we didn't open the
windows let alone take off the top, plus I don't take it off and drive 80
MPH anyhow. Except for her 4 drawer dresser we used soft side luggage. What
did she buy during the trip? Clothes. ;-]
