I second that Art, especially if you're camping with kids. Not sure what age your son is, but "Scout" usually doesn't equal "wise" until they're much older. They're not disciplined enough to be economical with space. They take up more space when getting dressed and sleeping, and their stuff very often appears to be managed by a tornado.
