Departure Checklist!

I tried to send you my checklist by PM but it was too long. PM me with your personal e-mail and I will send it to you via attachment.

We use this list for every hook and unhook of our fifth wheel.

Check out my posts on this RV.net forum and you will see I am not a scam artist.

HERE is a very recent thread on the same subject with lots of answers

If you do a web search you will find checklists for all kinds of rv's and for packing, departure, as well as arrival. Find the one you want then adapt it to your personal needs.

Sure we have a checklist,but like ones grocery list it changes each time We head Out!

Suffice to say there are some things that must be done at Our Sticks and Bricks ,that can only be done on the day of departure.

So Yes We have a checklist ...I keep adding to it daily!

Good Luck preparing Yours!

Thanks everybody! I didn't think to Google for a checklist ... I just did a search on here and didn't come up with anything.

One thing that got added to our campground departure checklist several years back was "Bollard check".

If you don't know what a bollard is, you probably haven't had one lurking close enough to your rig to realize what a mess they can make of things when you turn into one. The ones that lurk just out of sight on the passenger side are the worst.

We laugh about it now. :B I holler out "Bollard check!" and the boss looks around and gives me the all clear, or not.

:):)

I don't use a checklist anymore. I have a grocery list that gets made for each trip.

Gear-wise supplies stay in the RV and I use RVMinders for setup and take down. I find them so easy to use.

Toad toes, what is RVMinders?

I am just a weekend camper. I just put a piece of scratch paper on the dining room table with "Camping List" underlined on the top of it. As the week progress and I think of stuff I will need for that weekend, in that place, with that group of friends for company, I add stuff to the list. By Friday I have the list full, and a lot of the items have been crossed off as I have added them to the camper after work during the week.

They are plastic strips that wrap around your steering wheel. You get 10 in a pack and they have the following info on them:

1. TV/satellite antenna
2. dinghy/trailer
3. slide locks
4. hookups
5. jacks/chocks
6. steps/ladder
7. door/vents/windows
8. compartment locks
and two blanks

When you plug in your electrical, you slap the hookups strip onto your steering wheel, etc. Then when you get ready to leave, you are reminded that you need to unplug the electrical.

I made one of the blanks "Propane On" so I would remember to shut down the propane. The other blank is "Emergency Brake" because my dash light doesn't work.

I think they were the best $20 I spent.
