Greetings from Montana. We camp in our 5th wheel. I always take my little Janome and use a generator in the Forest Service campgrounds. I got a little cosmetics suitcase and keep an extra set of thread, cutting tools, small rulers, scissor, pencils etc. Take it with me when I sew away from home, (camping, retreats, etc.) It holds most everything you need. I worry about taking my computerized machine when I am camping because of electricity fluctuations. Sew either inside or outside on the picnic table. Store my little machine and extras in a zippered 31 bag.
