Stillhope it depends on how well you can pack, and how much time you have. we built platforms in our 20 footer and brought a car, all the furniture from a 3 bedroom house and i even had room for a 8 foot diameter stock tank i used for my koi. our container weighed over 16,000pounds and matson told us most people get between 9-12000 pounds so we really packed it. we screwed everything together so when we took it apart, we had alot of plywood and 2x4s for other projects. oh yes, the inside of the car was totally packed to and driven in, then the drivers seat was totally packed... good grief, why did we bring all that junk!!! actually we did not regret any building supplies, the wood stove and some items you just cant get here for a reasonable price
