After reading your Laundry list,and just coming home from Jefferson Wisc. swapmeet,there is something you can do that will save you Time,Trouble,Money and possible Regret.
Buy a swap space at the desired swap you wish to attend Well in advance.Pull your truck into your assigned spot.This gets you into the show early every morning,so you can see whats coming in first hand when the other vendors are setting up,and the publis is not allowed in yet.You can also drive your truck around,and it becomes your shopping cart,and you can throw your purchases in it.You can also sell a few items for gas money in your spot if you desire.
As long as you pay the Vendor fee,they usually don't care if you are selling anything or not.And you never have to walk out to the parking lot to retrieve or store items again.
Yes a vendor Fee is more expensive,but some things are worth it,and I feel this is one of them.
I,as well as others do this at most of the Major swapmeets for awhile now,and it really does make sense Today.
