To stock or do not stock

We keep our rv stocked with everything we may need so we can leave at a moments notice. Perishables we put in just prior to leaving. Living in hurricane country this becomes our back up plan. I have a check list for each area. All food stuffs are noted with expiration dates plus we rotate items into the stick and brick so that camper stuff is always good to go.....We have friends who never keep anything in their camper and go shop when they get to the campsite. We camp it may be an hours drive to a store. Just too much work if you ask me....

    For the most part, everything is in our RV... the only thing we really pack up before a trip is clothes, personal electronics/cameras and food. Sometimes we might take food with us...sometimes we also wait until we get to our destination...depends on where we are going and for how long.

    we're not in hurricane country (suburban Chicago) but we do the same thing. we stock the MH at the beginning of the season and empty it at the end. we keep separate sets of clothing, pots, pans, toiletries and the like in the MH year round. about all we need to add before departing is perishable foods, some electronics and a few other things. the KISS principle in action.
