I will do that! Thanks!
Still appreciate anything anyone has to add... Sometimes you just forget about the small stuff! - turbojimmyExplorerI put my RV on the road in May of last year, so I only have one season under my belt. I've forgotten lots of stuff - and it's always the little stuff.
I'll bring bacon and eggs, but no spatula. Or salt and pepper.
Adult beverages, no bottle opener or cork screw.
Bedding, but forgot the pillows.
Soft drinks, no cups.
Stuff like that - the list in the FAQ is good but you'll tailor your own over time. You'll find that some stuff you can leave in there for next trip, while other stuff needs to be put on the pre-trip checklist. We use big laundry baskets to lug stuff from the house to the RV (and back). - Golden_HVACExplorerDon't bother to buy special toilet paper.
I keep some spices and other stuff in my RV at all times. And microwave popcorn, oatmeal, and a couple of other fast to make side dishes, in the event I forget something.
Once my neighbor came over for some vanilla, they where making french toast, and wanted some. I also had cinnamon.
Once I was camping 20 miles from nowhere high in the Sierra mountains, and did not have a can opener. This was back in 1992, well before soup cans can be opened with a lever. . . I did not even have a old style can opener (the kind to make a triangle punch into a fruit can to drain it.
Have fun camping!
