Departure Checklist!

Do any of you have a departure checklist you would like to share?

I hope I'm not the only nerd here who likes checklists. :R

I know for sure I will need to have 'don't forget outside surge protector' to my list!

Thanks bunches! Jules
  • Departure Checklist!


    Yes. And even if you don't I will just add that:

    If a fellow camper comes over while you are in the mode of departure and starts talking to you?

    START you departure mode all over from the beginning. Trust me it will save you from forgetting something. Don't ask me how I know! :W

    A check list is a good idea.
    I know it's possible to do a walk around before leaving and still drive away while connected to shore power. :E
  • I use a package of spring loaded clothes pins and a label maker. They live in a small box in the console when I'm moving. When I set up in a CG I turn down the driver side sun visor and move the clothes pins for water, electric, cable, slinky, levelers, etc. to it as I hook up each item. When leaving, I move them back to the box as each item is taken care of. I gave up on my memory a long time ago.

    Wow, departure from home, 5er is always packed, just need refer started and perishable food added. Hooking up double walk around.

    Leaving campground, double walk around, and one solid look inside.
  • And what I found out was if you forgot something?

    Your dog will tell you! :B

    I packed up and headed out and my one dog started barking with a vengeance and would not stop. Sounded serious enough for me to pull over to see if he was ok.

    Found out I had left an overhead cabinet door open......he didn't like that!

    Over the years it has happened a couple of times and each and every time he goes bonkers until I pull over and fix what I have missed inside the MH. Including the time the fridge door opened while driving down the road. He is one priceless pup.
