Default Duffel bags

What size duffel bag would fit 2 weeks of clothing and towels?
21x36, 25x42, 30x50?

I'm thinking 25x42 but not sure.

Check out a military surplus store, the duffels are made for the job. I prefer the Navy style w/2 straps, just in case you need to lug it anywhere.

I'm doing that... I just don't want to get 1 that's "TO BIG".
Closest military store is 2 hours drive, so I'm getting it off the internet, they give sizes, but I'm not sure if the size they give is radius or diameter.

I was hoping a noob or a trainer might know the best size.
Was told to pack 2 weeks of cloths, figure towels, toiletries, tote bag, all kept in the duffel bag to save space.

I know who my trainer is going to be IF that company hires me, but he wasn't sure of the size. Said he would make room for me in his closet, but I told him I didn't want to put him out, or change his clothing routine. I'm the guest, I'll figure how to make the best of it, without putting him out.

The best way is to be able to put everything in 1 duffel, and put it on the seat when we pull over for the night.

Well... ordered the 25x42. Hope it was the right one, if not oh well.

You did good.
May seem larger than you need...but you are better hauling more than enough...than not enough. Don't forget...you need room for a winter jacket, or raincoat too...this time of the year.

I'd do likewise...keep all my gear in one bag. You can stow it in whatever spaces you get in the Truck...but it is also nice to make it easy to pack between your POV and Truck.

When you get into some Truckstops...check out their tote bags. I got one from TA once for free...for doing a PM on my Truck. They are just right size for carrying your stuff to and from the shower.
