Check Lists

I am definitely a planner, and if you are going part-time RV with a family, I highly recommend establishing at least a basic list that you always check prior to leaving the driveway.


If you are new to camping and haven't yet stocked your RV, I recommend using the all-inclusive list here: 

Once you have your basics in the RV and can leave some items stored, you really just need lists for the items that are removed after every trip and the other miscellaneous things your want to add or customize. 


You can also use a checklist for when you are leaving the driveway or campsite. We definitely need this because we are prone to distraction when packing up, especially with toddlers and a dog and all of the items we are trying not to forget. We've left phones, tablets, and keys on the bumper, we've forgotten to attach the weight distribution hitch bars, even forgotten to lift the stabilizer before driving off (that ended badly). We have this checklist printed and laminated on our camper key ring and we check it each time we leave.
