OK, here is a little different DIY item. All of us run through a check list before we drive off with our trailer, or we should. Sometimes it is a mental check list and sometimes it is written down. I don't have the memory to not forget something and I hate written lists. I use an app on my Samsung GS5 that I am really crazy about. It allows me to add items, edit items, delete items and sort. It is called Simple Notepad and there is a free download for it in the app store on my phone. Take a look at the link. Note: this is a free download for one list but for $2 (I think) you can make many lists.There is also one called Checklist Again that I used to use with my iPhone 4.Here is a set of screen prints from my GS5 phone so that you can see what it looks like.

Very nice, thanks! I hate paper lists, but I always have my phone with me.

I use Cozi app it is a shareable app. It has several types of listsShoppingTo DoCalendarIt can be brought up on phones, tablets, and PCSMultiple lists can be made and called up on any device.And the price is right - free - if you don't mind a few adds at the bottom of the seasons. Otherwise you can pay an annual fee for ad free an a few additional features.

My F 250 has one in the dash in the truck apps not complete but the most of the important stuff

We each do it our own way. I'm glad this works for you! I have found that 2 walk arounds the camper and truck and touching each item works pretty well. Haven't missed anything in a long-long time now..... knock on wood!

I use paper and can check off items as I go..and change the list as I want to.

I like the idea, but I would put things in order that you check them rather than in alphabetical order.

Some people are into lists but I agree with Dutchmen, walk around and look. Don't just look at a list, walk around the camper and look at it.

Mike, that is very simple to do with Simple Notepad. Edit each item with a number in front of the text to signify the order to be checked. Then do a sort. The items will then show up in the correct numerical order. I may do that if I can figure which order I want them.

I also have another check list which I call Camping Checklist. I use it to help me remember every thing I need to take along on the trip. An example being "Snorkeling stuff" if we will use it on the trip. It is very easy to add or delete items so that your list is accurate for a specific trip.

I realize how useless this is for some seasoned campers but I just threw it out there in case some folks would like to try it. It is not for everyone.

I have found over time that a written list changes the way I think about the things I need to do. I try to learn from the list and then get off them. Actually thinking about the listed item helps recall the item next time. I have found that the more I rely on a list, the less I think about the process.
